And Starbuck gladly carries the water for the Republicans too. If both sides aren't terrible its because reasons.
New talking point? It’s a completely obvious counterpoint. Republicans claimed that because Kavanaugh is credibly accused of sexual assault that all future nominees will be. That’s contradicted by the fact that the last three nominees weren’t.
As for this one somehow being special that’s nonsense too. Samuel Alito replaced the previous swing justice, O’Connor, and moved the court in a more conservative direction just like this nomination would. There was no ‘smear’ campaign against him either. Why not? It was an identical situation to this.
So no, this point is directly contradicted by recent, observable history. Republicans are making this shit up because they have no other defense other than to impugn the motives of Democrats.
The New York Times tried to, but could not corroborate Ms. Ramirez's alegation and have declined to run it, the same for the porn lawyers story. The co-author of the Ramirez story said they could not get a single firsthand account to corroborate the Ramirez account.

Yet you can’t find even one quote of me supporting Kavanaugh for SCOTUS.That wasn't a question. It was just you denying reality. You've justified GOP behavior at every opportunity, even putting the blame for it on Ted Kennedy from 30 years ago. On Harry Reid. On Dem "obstructionism" as if GOP conduct over Obama's term wasn't exactly that. As if their conduct wrt Garland vaguely resembled anything principled at all. Don't forget McConnelll's made up "Biden rule". You've thrown down every bit of right wing boilerplate you could find in what you imagine to be a suitably coy fashion.
Why? Apparently to convince us that installing pro-life right wing ideologues on the SCOTUS by simple majority vote is some kind of normal we should all just accept as the democratic socialist way to do things.
lolYou've got an excuse ready to go everytime your "both sides" fail.
You are welcome to find a post where I support what McConnell did to Garland or the GOP rushing through Kavanaugh. You are also welcome to find a post where I endorse Kavanaugh.And Starbuck gladly carries the water for the Republicans too. If both sides aren't terrible its because reasons.
So why hasnt Christine Blasey Ford pressed charges?
Oh thats right. She would need to provide WHERE and WHEN it happened, which she doesnt seem to know.
You would think someone who went through this much of a traumatic event, who remembered the staircase they walkled up and the room he pulled her in to, would be able to drive to the house where this allegedly happened.
AFA the FBI investigation, as much as I would support an investigation (which Ive said several times) I dont think its going to happen. It wasnt a federal crime, therefore local PD's responsibility. The difference with Thomas' accusation is that he was already a federal judge therefor falls under FBI jurisdiction. But not this one.
Any why hasnt anyone else come forward to support her claim? Or at least say "yeah, I was at that party".
This seems to be directly contrary to the available research on how people remember traumatic events.
This is not correct, the FBI would be investigating it as it pertains to the federal nomination process. They could absolutely investigate it if they wanted to. They wouldn’t be prosecuting someone anyway as that’s not the goal.
Interesting that you mention it though as it appears local law enforcement may in fact be opening an investigation into Kavanaugh.
lol, the whole school that kavanaugh is a total piece of shit (including kavanaugh)

Yes. Memories can be distorted or even forgotten. Im aware.
You mean a second investigation, as one has already been done?
And try him as a minor? That'll be fruitful lol
Well then why would you think she should be able to drive back to that house?
Yes of course, they now have new information so further investigation seems smart, no?
Huh? There would likely be no need to try him as a minor, regardless we should just be happy that some law enforcement is willing to look into this as it appears the FBI is being prevented from doing so.
I feel like it’s abundandly clear that Kavanaugh was a bad nominee. I feel like the only thing that is keeping his nomination alive now is tribalism. I am 100% positive bad the exact same information come out about Merrick Garland he would have been long gone.
I guess we agree to disagree. Im OK with that.
Why? Because they support him? Or because they party alot?
Becuase they posted on their yearbooks about how this one girl was a slut and they all took turns with her.
Turns out, he lied about it

What's this us shit? Kavanaugh is exactly what your boy wants.McConnel and Kavanugh are going to thrust and push their way through whether America wants it or not. They're trying to grab all of us by the pussy
Wow you are correct, sir.There is no statute of limitations in Maryland.
They don't careSo is GOP now going to put an accused rapist on the Supreme Court? Not a good look for them.
Maybe it's because not one piece of corroborating evidence has been presented. In fact, just the opposite since every "witness" these women have named has said, "Uh, no."I struggle to understand why anyone looking at this from a rational and objective standpoint would not want credible accusations of sexual assault by I believe (as of now) four separate women before someone is given a lifetime appointment to an unreviewable court. I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t stop at four either.
This is basic good governance. Republicans need to start remembering they are Americans first, Republicans second. Country before party.
