Susan Collins should’ve had to make that condescending, trashfire speech to Dr. Ford’s face.

It wasn’t for nothing to me. It was inspiring. I hate that she felt like she had to do this, and I hate that she received so much shit for it, and I hate that her life has been upended. But it wasn’t for nothing to me, and to my fellow assault survivors.
This was American feminism in a nutshell. Black, Latinx, Asian, and Indigenous women ready progress and liberation being blocked from getting there by White women.
I feel fucking terrible for Dr. Blasey Ford.
The fact that you are even asking this question at this point is deeply insulting.
After acting like a partisan hack in a public hearing, writing a lengthy op-ed explaining why you are not a partisan hack in a partisan newspaper ought to clear everything up. Way to think things through, asshole.
Someone from the GOP sat him down and said, “Brett? You sort of blew the cover on our whole ‘he’s a nice guy thing’ when you behaved like a little brat after Ford testified. Please just...write an op-ed and call your belligerent abuse...high spirits! and your temper tantrum as...all the Dems fault anyway! Yeah,…
“I Am an Independent, Impartial Judge.”
Who the Hell thought this was a good idea? Brett is an entitled brat who lied way before the allegations. Given all of his connections it's astounding that every move he's made has been wrong.
“If the Republicans are so bad and evil and the Democrats are so good, why did Barack Obama eulogize John McCain? And how did Michelle Obama and George W. Bush seem to become such good friends?”
Of course it was a sham. We knew that as soon as they declined to interview Ford or Kavanaugh themselves.
Start the clock on the eventual Beto O’Rourke photo op with Grandma and her Grandbabies. I ain’t even mad.
And 73% of white men voted for Roy Moore. Everyone is scrapping over that 3% or 10% when it is the 13% and 23% that is electing these assholes.
The problem is our stories only have merit when corroborated by men.
Nothing in the letter Ketterer wrote proves her accusations are false. It’s incredibly common for a survivor of sexual assault/abuse not to disclose their history to someone they are dating. Hell, many don’t even disclose it to those who are closest to them. It’s also incredibly common for survivors to go on to have a…
Um, I think these old white guys know a little bit more about the emotions that female victims of sexual assault go through than the actual victims, thank you very much.
So, a guy who says he’s the ex-boyfriend. Is he? Or is this another fabricated attempt at discrediting a credible witness account?
Just like it took a Churchill (mean old drunk and imperialist) to fight a Hitler, it takes the likes of Avenatti to fight Trump. Tepid operators like Schumer and Perez aren’t going to cut it.
63% of white men voted for Trump. In this run-up to midterms, I do get a little fatigued by all the media’s “Will women come out/vote in force against Trump/the GOP?”, as if it is up to women (once again) to always be right do right, cuz we know men sure as fuck will not. Particularly women of color: “We ignore you…
I must say, there’s nothing like seeing the President of the United States making fun of you on national television. It’s a story for the grandchildren.
