In the past, I’ve seen people argue that it’s better to have Joe Manchin in office than a republican b/c he votes with democrats “some of the time” as opposed to a republican who would never vote with them. But if he’s not voting with democrats on this issue, arguably one of the most important votes of his career, how…

There you go. The defense of old white assholes everywhere: She’s too ugly to be raped. So the converse is true for them: beautiful women should expect to be raped.

I’ll never forget it. 2007 in health class we were watching a documentary about sexual assault and some asshole bully started making fun of how gross it was and how the girl was ‘too ugly to rape’ and my cool stoner dude neighbor stood up and told him to shut the fuck up in the middle of class. Just wanted to share…

So...the girl in the picture is too ugly to be sexually assaulted? That’s what this man wants to go with? He needs to lose his damn job.

It’s always ugly-ass dudes who say shit like that too. Glass houses, you motherfuckers. 

And a SCOTUS seat says he wouldn’t put up with that behavior HIMSELF IN HIS OWN COURTROOM.

“I am looking at the gentleman as an adult from 22 to 53, thirty-one years of professional service,” said Manchin. “I am looking at him as a father. As a person in a community, how he interacts with his community”

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.

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…

When he said “I’m a keg is half full type of guy” I almost fell off my chair. Brilliant. (Even though Matt Damon has shown himself to be pretty ignorant of his own white male privilege in the past)

I wonder if “limited” is their code meaning they won’t go so far as talking to Mike Judge or any of the other 3? 4? women who have also accused him of assault/rape.

Correction: you’d be a hysterical feminazi. 

I wonder what they’d be saying if Ford had conducted herself like Kavanaugh?  Or oh god, Hillary during Benghazi!  I am in such a terrible mood right now.

It’s weird being 30 or 40 years younger and going, “You really need to compose yourself. Ranting about the Clintons isn’t doing you any favors”. 

All his raping and assaulting aside (cuz yeah, that’s how insane our world is, that that isn’t enough to dismiss someone and we still have to listen to these assholes) how on earth could anyone think he comported himself during this hearing in a manner befitting a Supreme Court Justice? He looks fucking incompetent…

Oh..no...how awful...is this our politics now!? (/s)

Basically he said high school references to him puking are not because he drank too much, but because he has a weak stomach - and as an example he obliquely referenced ketchup on spaghetti (I guess something that has made him vomit?). He separately mentioned spicy food as making him puke. Basically everything makes…

Lol, same. Wtf is that all about? 

Ya know, I heard his whole statement while driving and that's a pretty fair summation. Well done, that

That was truly bizarre and extremely uncomfortable. And I'm right there with you with the train-wreck anxiety.
