You’ve perfectly explained the paradox facing men of color when it comes to allegations of sexual assault. There is a long racist history of us being brutalized, mutilated and murdered based only on a unsubstantiated accusation. Things aren’t nearly as just as they should be even today. Even as these white men lament…

EXACTLY. Almost too insane to believe...

As others have stated quite well, forcing a kid to participate in these empty displays of faux patriotism, is unconstitutional. That bears repeating as often as my fellow commenters wish to do so, but can we also talk about how schools use or refuse to use the concept of in loco parentis as convenient?

I agree that withdrawing Kavanaugh is the move which gives them the best chance to accomplish their legislative goals and keep their prospects for retaining both chambers of Congress from getting worse.

An accusation is enough to require an investigation. *ALWAYS*. The investigation should be fair, it should be transparent, but it must be conducted.

The fact that this dude is almost certainly guilty of more than one instance of sexual misconduct - possibly even sexual assault - is absolutely something that we should continue to hammer him on. It should absolutely disqualify him from not only the Supreme Court, but the Federal court on which he currently sits. The…

Conservatives are the masters of missing important points and of blowing a tiny *almost*point into the most important point ever. Nuance means nothing to them.

I read about this last week on another site and I’m just barely past the complete loss of words I experienced then.

“The court filing also details Delgado’s interactions with “Journalist A,” whom the filing characterizes as “one of the nation’s most respected and pre-eminent journalists, who has broken many national stories” and whose “work is closely followed and supported by millions, including countless A-list celebrities.””

As uneasy as I am with the idea of supporting any former prosecutor given the racist master they serve, I’ll vote for Kamala Harris should she make it to the Democratic ticket.

GOD DAMN IT NYT!. You know Trump is looking for a reason the fire Rosenstein. There is still enough time for his firing to be a part of the Friday news dump.

WOW!

Gotta ask... If a report can’t be found for an attempted rape in New Fucking England 36 years ago, how confident are you that it is because it wasn’t reported, as opposed to a report being immediately tossed or worse, the person reporting tossed out?

To this day, I believe Suge is responsible for the murder of both Biggie and Pac. The involvement of the L.A.PD at least peripherally*, makes it unlikely that will ever be proven.

We don’t know!! The only thing I’ve read about a drug test is that one had/was being arranged during the several days between the murder and when she was finally taken into custody. If they were serious about a drug test, she wouldn’t have been even allowed to leave the scene. She’d have been escorted to testing by an…

While I agree that any data retrieved from the locks digital memory is important, I think any drug test results are at least as important. Not the unverified test results from this murderess’ Police department. Tests performed on her hair. Test performed on her blood, performed more than once on a surprise schedule. I…

“It’s in the same creepy-ass ballpark, Tim. Grown Men shouldn’t fuck with teenagers either, because they can’t on an emotional level and usually on a financial level be equals with the actual goddamn adult in the situation. The shades of grey on this is not as diverse as creepstry to make it seem. It’s gross!”

You are absolutely correct that is hush money.

Except Thomas’ victimizing of Anita Hill was much more recent when revealed than these allegations against Kavanaugh.

Nah. The city will settle because he was killed in his own apartment. They won’t admit any guilt. The entire proceedings will be sealed, and the family will be bared from talking about them. Some small bit of justice, but we will never get a full accounting of what happened here. This God damned murderess?
