I'm sure 45 loved this.

Trump would not. He really is obsessed with putting white people (especially men) back in complete power.

This is so true. Anita Hill supposedly wasn't vulnerable enough. If a victim shows too much emotion she's dismissed as hysterical. One more way you have to be the perfect victim to be taken seriously. I keep thinking about what would have happened if CBF hadn't been such an educated, well spoken woman. There probably wouldn't even be a hearing. Ugh. Hiding behind his 10 year old daughter. So gross.

Thank you for explaining Carl.

What does that even mean in this context? If anything the whole country is already reaping the whirlwind. "We" elected a racist, misogynist as president and he nominated another pervert to the highest court in the land. What a shocker.

May I ask who said that, so I can scorn them for all eternity?

I've wondered this myself. Maybe they should have hired Kavanaugh a defense attorney to question Dr. Ford instead.

Bring it. If they have a witness as credible as Dr. Ford, by all means we should listen and believe. If the idea is that they will find people to fabricate stories than she should be ashamed of herself as should Lindsay Graham.

Yes, he is. So many of these Senators are proving (once again) that they are not fit to lead us.

Chuck Grassley is disgusting. We have to get rid of these cruel, amoral Senators ASAP. Me too and we have Anita Hill to thank for being a role model even though her harasser is on the court as we speak. It makes me sick to think another one even has a chance.

It was mentioned in the article, but I still think DD was right when she said most people don't read beyond the headline and they know that. They should have made it more clear if they wanted to do the right thing. Writing well is their job, so there is no good excuse.

Damn. It never occurred to me that they would do something like that on purpose until DD and you said it. Not the first time I've had a blind spot though. What a terrible thing to do.

Yes, because lord know that if she'd been serving these preppy little bastards at the McD's drive thru, fewer people would believe her now.

Unbelievable. That's usually how gang rape works dummy! Of course, he thinks we are the dummies and aren't smart enough to parse his language. He's supposedly one of the greatest legal minds out there and he doesn't know when to shut the @@@@ up? Please.

The part about George Washington. I just can't. What an idiot.

Things really are falling apart for the Republicans now. For awhile there I thought they would run out the clock, but the floodgates have opened.

^ The article does credit AA women with running the ad. I see where the headline is unclear though.

I think they were buddies who were helping each other rape women. It reminds me of predators in the wild that work together to bring down prey. I bet if we could go back in time and talk to them in 1983, they wouldn't see it that way though. I don't think many people understood rape culture the way we do now. While I believe the accusers, I really wish that we could get an investigation and hear from all of the witnesses. I'd like to see the evidence and the corroborating witness lined up in an orderly fashion. At this point, you'd think Kavanaugh would want that as well, if he's innocent. The hypocrisy is off the charts. I remember seeing where Tucker Carlson had the header "Creepy porn star lawyer" when Avenatti was on his show. Umm How about the creepy porn star ******* President? Not that I think porn stars are creepy anyway. How other people make their living isn't mine to judge.

Along with the women who have enabled and stood by these predators. I really have to keep reminding myself that there are good men and good people in this world. There are days I wonder what kind of hellhole I brought children into.

This might slow them down.

I would say it's much worse. Not that I want to compare people's trauma, but these allegations are about premeditated drugging and gang rape. I mean, damn. I'm disgusted he got away with it for so long. I pray to God you are right, although I have no faith myself. What a stain on our country this would be. How can we even see the government as legitimate with you have Trump and Clarence Thomas in the highest offices of the land and now this guy is on deck?

My God. I think there is a pretty good chance we are going to have a SCOTUS who drugged and gang raped women.
