The only way he resigns is if Trump is voted out, Democrats take the Senate and hold the House, then a thorough investigation takes place. He might be made uncomfortable enough to resign in the instance, but getting a Supreme Court judge to resign is like pulling a steak out of doberman's mouth.

I don't think there's any chance of him resigning or being impeached. The only chance of stopping him was if Republicans had any moral responsibility. They didn't. And the NYT bringing this up a year later and going out of their to make the woman look bad just shows how complicit that paper is.

Oh, well.  So the prick is made of Teflon.  I guess that's why Trump loves him so.

 

Speaking of Trump, I was tickled see him suggest B**** K******** should sue for libel.  Really, Donald?  Like the Central Park Five should sue YOU for the smear campaign you launched against them BITD?  And for which you STILL refuse to apologize, even though DNA evidence and the state of New York ultimately exonerated them?

 

 

 

IA with you both.  I'm just afraid his is a name that will keep recurring in the media (and everywhere else) until we all are dead in our graves.  Ugh.

Yeah the woman cannot remember. I highly doubt that, but the fact is 10 people along with this gentleman(who has credibility across the aisle by the way) all contacted the FBI and never were able to provide information because they were not called back. We know the investigation was limited in scope as directed by Don McGahn.

I suspect the woman has witnessed what Dr. Ford and others went through and doesn't want to be subjected to the same kind of abuse.  Who could blame her?

I seriously doubt the woman cannot remember. As @Khan said, look at all Christine Blasey Ford endured for daring to open her mouth. She had to even flee her home because of death threats. No wonder no one else wants to speak freely.

 

Add in we have a complicit criminal Senate and GOP providing aid to this pig, and yeah. I can see why this woman "can't remember".

What I mostly mean was I don't know why this was not checked before the article was published. You have a story based on details and memories of all these other people, not her, and then the content involving her is added after the fact, in a way that discredits or at least smudges the original story. 

 

Everything about how this story has been handled feels like deliberate sabotage to me. And it just made any real move against Kavanaugh even more difficult.

Maybe it feels like sabotage, but it boils down to the fact that a Dem senator told of new allegations LAST YEAR to the FBI. The GOP hid it. Is this a mess? Yes. But neither are Kavanaugh nor Republicans ANY sort of victim. And Mitch, Donald, and all of the rest of the scumbag GOP don't care as long as their power is consolidated.

Exactly.  It's possible the woman doesn't recall what happened..."but I don't think so."

 

The GOP keeps saying the Democrats have orchestrated a hit on K********'s career and reputation.  Perhaps, if we were talking about just Dr. Ford's allegations, or hers along with 1 or 2 other people's, there might be some validity to their claim.

 

However, when you look at the number of others who had volunteered to talk with the FBI about K******** but were turned away....  'Tis an awfully WIDE conspiracy to bring down one judge, even one who sits on the Supreme Court, don't you think?

 

Moreover, who's doing the conspiring here?  The Dems, or the Senate, through the DOJ and FBI?

So the photos from the "Iran attack" are not even proving what the administration claims it does. I am frankly disgusted hearing so many senators from the democratic side stand up and say without doubt it's Iran. I already called mine and said no to Iraq part 2. Someone is itching to start up a war with Iran. The Saudi's? Israel? Or someone in our current administration. I;m not buying this recent attack.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
