Even Ford’s best friend knew Ford was in on the smear campaign. |
Really? Why wouldn't she expose Ford? If she knew and said nothing, then she was complicit. That is a serious allegation. Do you have any evidence? |
Didn’t a book recently come out about this? |
Very calmly indeed, since this is the only honorable way. So much so, that half his advisers really wanted him to act this way! The other half wanted him to go on the offensive, and I believe that was a terrible mistake: it paints him as an out-of-control, ridiculous whiner, and taints his Supreme Court legacy. |
Millions of people who witnessed that hearing disagree with you. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/the-kavanaugh-circus-cost-the-democrats-a-senate-majority-11564089502 |
Paywalled, but what does an opinion letter prove? We all saw the mean drunk. I don’t know what kind of people cons consort with that that looked normal or Supreme Court appropriate to you, but yikes. |
On the contrary, millions of people saw Democrats insist that this man was guilty of an allegation with zero proof. Guilty until proven innocent is apparently the Democrats’ MO. It may not have been a criminal hearing, but it might as well have been. “Yikes” is right. That spectacle is something millions of Americans will *never* forget. |
well if that's what people saw, why is susan collins in so much trouble? |
This. And I've said it before. Democrats surely didn't like his choice. HOWEVER, they didn't like Gorsich either. And that was a stolen seat. And his nom sailed through the Senate. Republicans put forth Kavanaugh, and stuck with them, just to show that they could. It was a pure power play by the entitled, white, male establishment at the expense of a woman (and women everywhere) who had credible allegations that she told people about LONG before he was appointed to SCOTUS. Republicans could have dropped him, found some equally right wing demagogue without his history, and he would have passed no problem. So, no not a witch hunt. Republicans just have zero shame or integrity. But a big tolerance for sexual assault and a display of lack of judicial temperment. Oh, and guys who like beer. |
I don't think you no what zero means. What she said would have triggered a decent criminal investigation if not barred. And much of the evidence from that sham investigation would have come. And surely what was not considered would have also come in. He wouldn't have gotten off nearly as easily. |
I don’t think you know how to spell know. At any rate, her allegation was 35+ years old. Her best friend couldn’t even vouch for her. No one - least of all the FBI - would have taken an “investigation” of that kind seriously. Keep dreaming. |
I think you’re the one who is being a bit too smudgy and dreamy in the hopes we forget that GOP put another sicko on the court. The White House blocked a real investigation. Why? If there was nothing to hide, you’d think they’d make sure to be thorough. |
Yeah, “LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP” and “LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!” and “it’s okay that anamerican citizen was held by ICE for three weeks.... cuz... reasons....” are all statements that very much support innocence until proven guilty. |
Collins and Kavanaugh are both Daddy’s little rich kids who have spent zero days living in the real world. Barf. |
“Another sicko”? Wtf are you babbling about? |
