I dont believe Kavanaugh, so the Ford woman is probably not a rapist. Thats good. I like to see Democrats do something else than lie, its been 10 years since that happened.
Maybe Ford is lying after all I see how convincing Pelosi lies.
Sanctimoniousness is gonna win the midterms. Winter is coming!
Unless Trump quickly finds a woman for the job.
wow this is the real moment isn’t it?
Allá! Viene una tormenta!
There’s no proof he’s a rapist.
“President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the FBI to reopen its background investigation into his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to examine the sexual misconduct allegations against the judge. The move came after Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake changed his support at the last minute and requested a delay of up to one week before the full Senate votes on confirming Kavanaugh.”
Good presidenting.
Its good that Trump moves to cast away as much doubt about that as he can.
I wonder if all the allegations would be proven fully true, would that make him a rapist, or is there a difference between an attempt and a “success”? Not that he’d get confirmed in any such case, but I am just wondering.
If only Ford’s allegation is true, than he is, or rather was an attempted rapist, I suppose.
If the third allegation is true, which it’s in all likelihood not, than he was a serial rapist, or a mass rapist.
And what if Ford is lying, what does that make her?
A Rape Faker?
Or a Rape Liar?
The FBI is in the Democrats pockets and Trump loathes them for that. Should all make for interesting headlines and fake news exposes.
Wendy did you read that in the real news? The fake news I’ve been watching disagrees.
If she has just spoken about it, she is a slanderer. If she wrote about it she is a libelist. Not easy to prosecute in criminal courts. If she does it under oath, then it is more easily prosecuted. Civil courts offer more opportunities, but tough with a case this old, unless she did some very stupid stuff along the way, like tell people she had a trick to keep him off the court, etc.
I don’t think there’s any problem with bringing up old stuff, but unless we have more than word against word, it should be ignored. People with that much authority and it is a kind of moral authority should be screened and called to account for past actions. If he raped her, he didn’t just commit a moral fuckup then. He continued it by never admitting it and never making amends, etc. But that if is very important
This is the same guy who worked for Ken Starr to get Clinton impeached for lying about a blowjob.
Yeah, they should have gotten Clinton for the Glass Speagal act approval, for gutting social services for opening up National land commons to parasitical corporations and for changing sentencing as part of the drug wars which led to unbelievable migrations of poor people into the corrections systems. Consensual sex should be as boring to Americans as it is to Europeans.
lol
I’d align with the OP in that it would make her the moral equivalent of a rapist. I’m for laws that make it so anyway. There’s nothing easier these days than ruining a mans life with a lie that plays to the malcontent of the self-ignorant masses.
If Ford is lying, she is damn good at it.
Oh, the fake news or (M)MSM as it is called is also in the democrats pockets…duh. There are many democrat holdovers working in the CIA and FBI who are corrupting its nature to be fair and seek justice.
Yes, all employees of consenting age should give oral sex at work, hey, it’s what the boss likes his/her employees to do while on the clock.
You just point out where I said people should give oral sex - which would mean a lack of consent. Make up some stuff, if you need to. I don’t think whatever the current candidate for SC is, Trump’s candidate, should be stopped just on word against word. But you keep reacting in a knee jerk way to whatever you think benefits your team. That makes for a great debate and discussion. Whack a mole as thinking.
Let’s see you have the guts to join Unwrong’s thread on rape. Will you seemingly support feminism by questioning some of Unwrong’s ideas or will you go along with a man who blames rapes on women, period. Like, the men had no option but to rape her. Is it possible for you to actually respond in some way that isn’t just a party line, have some nuance?
