I’m sorry but without strong evidence of bullying, I’m going to have to say it would be irresponsible, even dangerous for me to get on the slippery slope of listening and caring about anything she says.

This is some weak ass bullshit. The Democrats had no power. We’ve known since Kennedy retired that this was a losing battle, but it was a battle that the Democrats had to fight. They mounted as effective a campaign against Kavanaugh as could be made, and they lost, which was absolutely to be expected. This loss was…

Susan Collins on behalf of white women who are horrified by women like you:   FUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU

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.

As I followed the coverage last week, I had dozens of little “micro-episodes” that, in hindsight, I realize were panic attacks.

What a disaster.

What little decency he had died with McCain. NO ONE has been more triggering to me this week than this shithead.

Go ahead, conservatives. Find a bunch of highly-credible and professionally-successful women willing to accuse democratic SCOTUS nominees of sexual assault.

Fucking fuckface fucker

My other favorite was Trump complaining about all the federal court seats he as to fill because Obama was “lazy... or apathetic.” And not at all be cause the GOP majority stopped advising and consenting on Obama’s nominees, including Merrick Garland.

This is exactly what I was saying to the #shehastoEARNmyvote crowd.

This is an obvious realization, but fuck, we could have remade the Supreme Court. Obama got two nominees, Clinton could have had two in the first two years of her presidency (hell, possibly three if RBG found that she liked her replacement). If we could have gotten a full 16 years of Democratic presidents, we could…

I wish this narrative would stop. Rape is the least false-reported crime. Women don’t report because of assholes like this.

I absolutely fucking hate him. I don’t know what else to say at this point.

This is discussed over on the Splinter thread, but just for anyone who didn’t see it:

Her statement is hard to read, and, importantly, incredibly specific and damning. She mentions other witnesses willing to speak, she’s worked in the government for years and holds multiple security clearances, and she submitted a sworn affidavit.

President Trump at @UN General Assembly: “In less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country…so true.”

Of course there is. It’s never just one. NEVER. JUST. ONE.

2 thoughts...where there’s smoke, there’s fire.  The other is that Ronan Farrow just won a Pulitzer for bringing down Harvey Weinstein; no way this story wasn’t vetted as carefully as can be.
