Kennedy to retire - USSC will swing even further right

Of all the Republicans to magically grow balls it's Lindsey F'n Graham, the 63 year old "confirmed bachelor"....I just never would have expected that to happen.

 

I'm not surprised that they would think that way. After all, another proven liar, Clarence Thomas, has done exactly that, in my humble opinion. He has morphed into the most far-right judge on the Court, making Roberts look almost moderate in comparison. He has "taken his revenge" for being outed as a man who sexually harassed women at work, claims that have not gone away. I expect Kavanaugh to do the same, but would be pleasantly surprised if he did not. I don't expect to be surprised.

 

Wow, even it slows down but has steady donations, the campaign war chest will fill up quickly. That is an amazing amount money in a short amount of time. This is especially true since none of it is from special interests. It's all grassroots.

Some people (mostly men) bring up false allegations. Of course, they aren't the ones who have suffered from sexual harassment and sexual assaults in their lives. Yet, women are usually quick to believe the accusers. They are the ones who are suffering and have suffered because of the harassment, rapes, and sexual assaults.

As we have seen, it almost always the women that are right.

It looks like they are right 90 - 98% of the time. So women should almost always be believed when they make the accusations.

Sadly most women still don't make the accusations or report the crime. It isn't any wonder. Look at how they are treated when they do.

Yet, Trump talks about how it's a scary time to be a man. It's not a scary time to be a man if you don't sexually assault women. I am glad that it's a scary time to be a man if you are a sexual criminal.

 

It is the epitome of the party before the country. When people care more about revenge than unbiased justice and preserving the constitution, then it is definitely a sad state of affairs.

 

This is an incredibly stupid take even when you factor in your partisan blindness. We know that there were multiple false allegations made against Kavanaugh, so doubling down on the "believe wahmans" line as an attempt to get people to ignore evidence (or lack thereof) is just ridiculous. I know right now you are a big fan of punishing people based on false allegations, but pretend for a second that you are capable of seeing the bigger picture.....you know it won't be long before false allegations are levied against someone you support and you know you won't be pimping out the nonsense "believe wahmans" line then so don't set yourself up to be a hypocrite. Just say "believe evidence", that's at least a statement that can be defended.

 

Don’t forget Salem.

 

so 8 years ago?

 

You believe there were multiple false allegations against Kavanaugh. Nobody knows that. We do know that he reached out trying to keep people who witnessed the Ramirez incident from discussing that with the authorities. We know that the FBI didn't interview those people.

Again, almost nobody who makes the claim of rape or sexual assault is making a false claim. The statistics show that.

 

That doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Just this week we had two cases of false rape accusation.

Jury finds ex-Towson quarterback not guilty of rape charges in North Carolina - Baltimore Sun

Charges dropped for 4 dentists accused of rape in Las Vegas - KTNV.com Las Vegas

 

Believe women! Even if they are lying.

 

Harry Reid peed in the pool. Now Democrats are going to have to swim in it.

 

Happy wife happy life.

 

What a shock

 

I'm sure I'm just wasting my time here, but one of the characteristics of false accusations is that they always have a lurid and very overtly cruel quality about them, probably as a function of the type of personality that is compelled to make such claims.

The "sex train" Swetnick story is a great example of this. It makes a big, bright, shocking image of cruelty.

Generally, false accusations don't involve things like fumbling around, and failing to follow through or tasteless pranks fueled by alcohol fueled bad judgement, like whipping your junk out and sticking it on someone's face. False accusations involve competent capable cruel villains intent and focused on abusing as many women as possible out of sheer sadism. It is also done by people with specific personality disorders, the kind of things that would also cause Munchausen by proxy.

Obviously, I'm not expecting to convince anybody of anything, but if you actually do care, you can do the research yourself and see its true.

Final thought - the other thing that seems a little off is that you guys do a really great job of pointing out how completely impossible it is to confirm anything that the accusers have to say, and I agree, it is so long ago it is essentially impossible to prove anything. But you know what? That proposition is a two way street. Yet somehow, you literally have no doubt at all regarding Kavanaugh's innocence. It is wildly logically inconsistent.

Anyway, we will never know what actually happened, though I imagine that won't stop plenty of people from claiming they have the answers.

 

naw I presume innocence until I see reason enough to change my mind.

 

The reason little can be proven is not because how long ago it was. It's because Ford gives few details that can be proven. The ones she have given have been refuted. She could claim the event was two years ago and if she still cant give a specific date then nothing could be proven. This is opposed to kavanaugh who gave his calendar. Those details can be proven.

 

You must of been vocally against the whole "lock her up" chants then.

That must have upset you.

 

Unlike most democrats have done recently. I don't abandon principles of justice.
