Lol! Everyone in this country has economic anxiety right now. But only one demographic gets to use it as an excuse for openly bigoted, reactionary behavior.
“Not a drinking game? Prove it... Haha! Just kidding, we don’t care if you prove! We just wanted to see you libtards get all bent out of shape.”
Sadly, none of it matters. The lying, the behavior, the partisanship. The Republicans will vote him in and then we’ll be stuck with him, and Trump will get Gamble v United States and whatever else helps him evade capture and make more money for himself. What a nightmare.
I don’t believe the FBI has been given the latitude by the White House to do a real investigation. It’s up to voters calling their senators. May not work, but worth the effort. And even better if you have time to show up at their offices.
I’m wondering if these Trump rallies the actual beginnings of The Hunger Games.
Yeah, the perjury should have sunk him by now. That and the bias and total lack of “judicial temperament” he’s insisted in the past is so important.
Everyone keeps saying this. GOP doesn’t care.
The best thing we can possibly get out of this at this stage is an even more fired up electorate who opposes the GOP and everything they stand for, a Blue Wave taking the House, and unlikely but we can dream of managing to get a majority in the Senate.
At this point the constant lying under oath should disqualify him regardless of the sexual assault allegations.
The real Devil’s Triangle is about to happen: Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch & Bart/Brett Kavanaugh-whose talent for lying is only exceeded by the Cheeto in the White House; those three together on the Supreme Court. What a complete shit show. The depths we’re sinking to continue to exceed my wildest nightmares about…
I will never forgive Kavanaugh for a lot of things. Tonight, specifically, I will never forgive him for being the reason I, a) had to learn all this (possibly outdated?) sex terminology, and b) had to then explain the meaning of “boofing” to my parents.
No, you just let Black women in the south do all the work of defending democracy for you. How admirable.
The first person I told about my assault was the girlfriend I had after it happened. She wasn’t particularly sympathetic, and was more concerned that I might have given her an STI. It made it a lot less likely I’d ever tell another romantic partner about it.
For a group of people who want to compare this nomination to a criminal trial, they sure seem to like to use information that would be excluded as evidence. Rape shield laws prevent evidence relating to prior sexual conduct except in very limited situations.
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…
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…
At this point I see no problem with assuming that Trump is just the Republicans’/his supporters’ id. No matter how much they claim they don’t agree with something he said, as long as they continue supporting them, I think it’s fair for me to assume that every horrible thing Trump says is just something that their…
