The only thing that surprises me about this is that people keep relying on people like Flake, Collins, and Murkowski to make principled decisions.

1. We can argue semantics if you’d like, but since the only real difference between an “investigation” and a “background check” is the possibility of prosecution, why bother? Since you’d like to call it a background check, isn’t it highly likely that the previous 6 iterations didn’t ask a single question about an…

Replying to myself, cause... Trolls...

I wish it were this simple...

Can I reject the premise?

The thing that pisses me off more than the lax as fuck punishment they wanted to give her, the fact that cops who kill people of color often escape punishment altogether, and that other cops never get charged with the falsified reports and other stuff she was is that she was only caught because she was stupid.

I’ve been hearing about this for a few weeks. Noone has adequately explained why Presidential Alerts should exist.

“He fucking perjured himself about watching Dr. Ford’s testimony prior to his testimony later that afternoon, even though there were other witnesses in the room and a Wall Street Journal reporter peeking in.”

Is the attached photo the official victory photo?

“Yeah, why not throw everything at him? It might not be as juicy as gang rape, but it’s still a problem.”

She was absolutely safe. She absolutely knows her parents have her back, because when this has happened before at home and at school, we’ve both taken action - as I did this time.

Can we talk about how absurd it is that Kavanaugh and his supporters, including those in Congress, don’t seem to grasp that their own standards for establishment of credibility damn Kavanaugh?

“So many of us have seen that smile and practiced it - one of the things I think is interesting is that women use it to appease and when men see it they see it as agreement ... that’s ... chilling. The fact that that disparity in perception continues to go unaddressed is really starting to disturb me, and I think we…

She deserves to be fired and forced to pay back every dollar she was ever given in salary, just because she is too dumb to understand which kids need to experience hardship to understand slavery.  Touching a kid is just an additional reason.

“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.
