The GOP forced their hand with regards to Franken and the Democrats had no choice or risk killing the momentum of the women’s march. I don’t even like Franken but it is why I felt he deserved a hearing.This has been shown to be factually false, as proved by Democrats forcing the resignation of a popular and high profile senator for exactly that. Republicans on the other hand enthusiastically support a serial sex offender.
So just plain old vanilla abuse is cool?Keith Ellison is not accused of sexual assault.
When applied inconsistently and hypocritically it is. I mean look at the governor’s race in California. The two leading Democrats, Newsom and Villaraigosa, are massive womanizers. Not good dudes at all. Probably in the same hemisphere as Bill Clinton.Holding people accountable is not politicizing sexual assault, it is holding people accountable.
So what's wrong with having a complete investigation?
Because she knows there's no way to prove hers or Kavanaughs side. And in the days of #metoo she's the perfect story for the Dems to derail the nomination.

I will give Democrats credit when they demonstrate an ability to act consistently on this topic.So when Democrats don't oust people credibly accused of sexual assault it's their fault. When they do it's credited to the Republicans. As I said before you have created a situation where there is literally no way for Democrats to win. You refuse to give them credit for holding to their convictions no matter the outcome because you've already decided on your answer.
Yet Democrats are willing to silence or dismiss Ellison’s accuser, but embrace Dr. Ford’s account. I would say the accusations against Ellison are worst.I didn't say that at all. Attempting to equate what Ellison is accused of with what Kavanaugh is accused of is simply ridiculous though. They are not even in the same ballpark.
Misogyny manifests itself in many ways. Rationalizing “promiscuity” flows from the same boy’s club.You're now equating promiscuity with sexual assault? Give me a fucking break.

Conservatives, in your heart you know she’s probably right. Don’t put party over country yet again. Remember you are Americans first, Republicans second.
I know 3 of the witnesses she names at the party tell us she's lying. But you'll believe her anyway, due to party?

Fine, I give the Democrats credit for doing the right thing that one time after backing themselves into a corner.We already know that's not true. When they acted consistently in Franken's case you refused to give them credit and declared it the work of Republicans.
I have a strong interest in seeing how many different ways Democrats can rationalize Ellison. Next thing you will tell me is he was only tickling her feet.I have no interest in your continuing attempts to equate dragging someone off a bed by their foot with attempted rape. Stop trivializing felonies.
Predatory promiscuity and sexual entitlement all stem from the same well of misogyny. That’s not offensive, just cold hard fact.It's frankly offensive that you're attempting to equate promiscuity with criminal sexual behavior. This is really gross.
NPR is reporting that the other student who an account to Facebook has since deleted her post and can now no longer confirm or deny that the incident took place.

McCaskill says No on Kavanaugh!
"[My] decision is not based on those allegations but rather on his positions on several key issues, most importantly the avalanche of dark, anonymous money that is crushing our democracy," McCaskill wrote.
"He has revealed his bias against limits on campaign donations which places him completely out of the mainstream of this nation," she wrote, adding that she was "also uncomfortable about his view on Presidential power as it relates to the rule of law, and his position that corporations are people."
BRAVO CLAIRE!!!

Roy Moore: GOP Must ‘Take a Stand’ and Support Brett Kavanaugh

Why do I get the feeling you poo pooI know 3 of the witnesses she names at the party tell us she's lying. But you'll believe her anyway, due to party?
No the Senate will simply deny her request for the normal, logical, and completely appropriate FBI investigation and they will do so because they have a reliable body of cult members who would rather not know if their nominee is an attempted rapist. If you weren't deep into cult thinking you would easily see this.`There can be no doubt that the Senate intention in excluding an FBI investigation is to keep any data out of the confrontation that would be anything but he said she said. In shout the Republicans are as usual acting like scum.Which is most likely the reason she won't testify.
The original Facebook post if fairly affirmative but now she’s walking it back. No one needs to give in. The Senate called for additional hearings and delayed the vote.If you read the original post it’s clear that her story has not changed. She said she heard about it at the time. At no point did she ever claim that she could confirm the incident took place.
So now we have multiple people saying they heard about this incident at the time. How many more do we need until you guys give in?

No I am acknowledging it for what it is.Haha even now you’re refusing, just in a backhanded way.
No one’s demolished my arguments. The silence and rationalizations for Ellison are deafeningWe both know this isn’t true so I don’t know who you think you’re fooling. As each one of your arguments has been demolished you’ve just retreated to a new one (see below).
I didn’t trivialize anything. I just enjoy watching mental gymnastics.It is frankly disgusting that you’re trying to trivialize violent felonies because you can’t admitt you’re wrong.
Men in power abusing their positions in a predatory promiscuous way is disgusting. Democrats should be ashamed for rationalizing, excusing or accepting such behavior.Promiscuity is not a violent sexual felony and comparing promiscuous people to violent sex criminals is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Actually GOP didn't force their hand. They couldn't because of that orange elephant occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.The GOP forced their hand with regards to Franken and the Democrats had no choice or risk killing the momentum of the women’s march. I don’t even like Franken but it is why I felt he deserved a hearing.
