No, it’s not! In fact, there’s an entire profession, with a recognized code of ethics, that does it all the time! 

Learn how federal records are processed, (yes, it is as boring as it sounds), get a job processing them, and then please, inform the world about the vast conspiracy about how the records of harassment complaints are exempt from FOIA requests to protect the accused, not the accuser.

First time un-processed papers of an active political figure being searched for one name? 

No, that office said those records are never released. Under any circumstances. They are protected - and that protection was put in place LONG before this accusation.

You categorize yourself as a true progressive? I’m guessing you support the expansion of charter schools? (Notice I said charter schools, not school vouchers)

Where is the report she filed with the Senate? And no, it’s not in Biden’s files in Delaware. If he did orchestrate a conspiracy between his office, the office that handled complaints for the Senate, and the National Archives - which all would have had to occur, you think he’d just stick it in his personal papers? It…

“Believe women” means when a woman makes an accusation, it should be taken seriously, viewed as credible, and an unbiased, thorough investigation should be conducted. It does not mean to continue to believe women regardless of what is discovered. As you said, there are many, many, many reasons to question Tara Reade’s…

Is “sexual debut” a clinical term? It sounds less like their first sexual encounter, either positive or negative, and more like their arrival onto the sex scene. 

Yeah, sex work occurs between two CONSENTING, ADULTS. This is child rape.

My poor mother - a religious woman who says a daily rosary and goes to mass every Sunday (not at the moment of course) is seriously struggling with this whole mess, but likely not in the way you’d expect. “I mean, I know it’s sinful, and I will likely have to spend some extra time in purgatory because of it, but I…

As an aside - I haven’t had a COVID-19 test but I did have the unfortunate luck of having a test for whooping cough a few years ago - it’s the same testing procedure - and GOOD GOD is it awful. I think they literally stuck that swab into my brain. As I heard one women describe it - “they took part of my soul out on…

See, I would be perfectly comfortable having unprotected sex with a porn star, because they are tested on the reg. I would think a porn star would be far more reticent to have unprotected sex with a non-sex worker because they are NOT tested frequently.

No, but “going after women is her whole life” is a BS statement. You think she’s a horrible person, by all means, OK - but don’t act as though she singles out women while constantly defending men. Hate her for things she’s guilty of doing, not some made up accusation that she’s a woman-hating-mean girl. 

Except she’s pretty equal opportunity when it comes to dishing it out on Twitter. You can argue she’s a mean person, but to claim she’s cruel specifically to women is unfair. I personally like her and find her to be refreshingly honest and sincere about her insecurities and her mistakes. Some people find her…

I’m not defending the hugs that are a second too long, or an awkward shoulder rub, but are you seriously equating that behavior to sticking your fingers inside a woman’s vagina?

You’d like him to account for his whereabouts everyday for 7 months from 25 years ago? I’m honestly not sure what you’re even asking. Maybe he could ask Kavanaugh where he found his calendar. 

An alibi? Did you not listen to Serial? No, I couldn’t have been sexually assaulting her 25 years ago, I had bridge club at 2:30 pm that day?

I’m curious - how else is someone supposed to respond when accused of something they didn’t do, other than essentially call the accuser a liar? (words he did not use) 

So there’s this thing called the Federal Records Retention Schedule. Believe it or not, there are people who’s SOLE job it is to process and retain federal records in accordance with the law. There are very strict rules about what goes where, what needs to be retained, what can eventually be released to the public,…

What the fuck part of “it’s not BAD thing..., it just doesn’t go far enough” are you unable to compute?
