“Side note: We Democrats don’t need, nor do we believe in conspiracies. We prefer facts, reality, and the truth.”

This drives me insane because they know damned good and well that there is zero chance that the FBI uncovers more conclusive evidence in 8 weeks let alone 1. There is zero chance that a sitting Federal apealete (or Supreme Court) judge is even investigated by local authorities let alone charged with an attempted rape…

“In fact, I don’t know any other person besides a white man who could’ve gone into a hearing on sexual assault and acted like a raging madman.”

Dr Blassey Ford reached out ***before*** Kavanaugh was nominated, and anticipating all the BS she has endured, requested an FBI investigation and that her name not be revealed to the public. Keeping the letter from the public and those on the committee who would have surely doxxed Dr Blassey Ford was the right move.…

I feel like most of us here could write 10,000 - 20,000 words about how this hearing puts so many of this country’s worst attitudes on race, gender, and class front and center, yet is so consumed with its own existence that it is totally oblivious to that fact.

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.

Why in the fugg would a company with such a varied but positively RABID fanbase insist on exclusively family friendly shows? Shows are rated for a reason. If anyone can come up with proper parental controls certainly Apple can, right?

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.
