Of course it was a sham. We knew that as soon as they declined to interview Ford or Kavanaugh themselves. 

“I was Ms. Swetnick’s garbage collector for three days in the summer of 1997 and she never mentioned being raped or Brett Kavanaugh to me!”

Whoof. Hey everyone, just a heads up, there are some really awful takes in the greys on this post already, and likely to see a lot more flood in. Remember, don’t engage if you don’t want to promote their bullshit and use the dismiss button if people start trolling your posts.

Yeah, for me, the worst part about Kirchgessner’s response was this:

The problem is our stories only have merit when corroborated by men. 

Hell, I didn’t tell my bf of ten years about my history of sexual abuse and the assault that happened less than a year before we met. I learned quickly that he victim blamed. So yeah I’m definitely not going to tell a guy who I’ve only seen briefly.

So... I don’t think it’s unreasonable to believe that Morgan might also have been abusive to some degree (at least emotionally), but she’s not the one running for office. There’s never a good reason, aside from self defense, to physically attack someone, and Kirchgessner wasn’t defending herself. Having an abusive…

So, a guy who says he’s the ex-boyfriend. Is he? Or is this another fabricated attempt at discrediting a credible witness account?

A couple months ago, after seeing my abusive ex at a show we were at, I told my husband about his raping me almost 20 years ago. It was the first— and only— time I had said the words outloud. I have been with my husband for over 15 years. Hell, it took me over a decade to even admit to myself that what happened with…

Two women accusing each other? My, my, my. Who’s a conservative to disbelieve?

Appellate judges? Even Judge Milan (People’s Court, my favorite)  and Judge Judy don’t let litigants get away with that. He knows better but his sense of entitlement didn’t care. He’s still trying to make the cool guys laugh. 

totally. nothing screams not a belligerent drunk like super belligerent normal-mode

He’s SUPER good at being told “no,” too.  This much is clear.

I’m sorry, I’m really fucking angry today. Am I triggered lib? Well I guess the fuck I am. Die mad about it.

I’m kind of aghast at the number of people calling her credible and compelling after hearing her testify.

What do you expect? This woman has been on planes!

Came here to say the same thing. Shep Smith will probably say something similar, but the real right-wing loony tunes will have their own takes.

The fact that a woman sex crimes prosecutor is picking apart irrelevant bits of Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony and clearly trying to make her look inconsistent or mistaken is both killing and enraging what’s left of my soul.

This tweet is too real:

She hasn’t even spoken for a full minute and I’m in tears.
