Members I Am A Swede Posted September 20, 2018 Members Share Posted September 20, 2018 ^^ How I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I can't....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 20, 2018 Members Share Posted September 20, 2018 Another thing that isn't surprising. The death threats and harassment are so bad CBF and her family had to flee their home. https://www.yahoo.com/news/brett-kavanaugh-accuser-christine-blasey-153135511.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Typical, self-entitled, white frat boy "humor." By all means, let's reduce women (or "frat mattresses," as they're called) to objects, and sexual assaults to punchlines, because God knows we couldn't get it up if we tried. Now y'all understand why I'm so dismissive of folks like Joshua Morrow? #BrosB4Hos Among other things. I never understood why female GH fans went crazy for him (as Jagger Cates) BITD. God, no wonder why I thought "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" was a load of crap. Edited September 21, 2018 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 This is really odd. So many in these elite conservative circles are coming up with odd defenses (rough horse play). Meanwhile, the best thing they could do is just keep quiet. As for ASJ I remember thinking he was cute, but cute is as cute does. I really liked Ingo Rademacher once upon a time too, but anyone who supports Trump loses my respect. https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1042953925014511617 As much as I hate the idea of an oligarchy (and really it's too late, so we might as well pick the good ones), this guy is winning me over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 I've said before that I live in the district ASJ is running in. He has no chance and is well aware of that, but is running to steal money from conservatives who donate without any questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Conservatives cannot exactly brand Ford a liar, because doing so would incur the wrath of #MeToo followers, which would be tantamount to political suicide this close to the midterms. Furthermore, although they've trotted out the glowing endorsements ("We're women, we work for Kavanaugh, and even though we're saying this before any allegations make the news, we just want everyone to know what a gentleman he is!") and the usual boys-will-be-boys justifications, something about the defenses on Kavanaugh's behalf feel very half-hearted to me, as if they know we've heard all the excuses before and are not buying them. So, what's left for his supporters to do? Mistaken identity, and the pictures to prove it. Crap that is straight out of the "Law & Order: SVU" playbook. (I'm halfway expecting to see Ice-T and Kelli Giddish arresting Garrett.) I'm not ready to say "KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT" just yet, but let's just say I'm keeping an eye on him.

Members juppiter Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Well people on this thread started blocking me when I said things they disagreed with, so yes, those people WOULD think that Garland support was universal.

Members MichaelGL Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 If Beto O'Rourke wins in Texas, and that's huge IF, barring any surprise scandals I can see him becoming president one day. His campaign in TX reminds me of Obama's run for Congress in IL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, that would really be a wonderful shake up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have to ask why so man men are against allowing the FBI to investigate this allegation. It's rather enlightening that they peddle the 36 year timeframe but I have yet to hear one of them question the allegations made against priests by adult men who were molested and/or raped when they were children and teens. I'm not diminishing by any means what those men went through and they are incredibly brave to come forward. The Church is another antiquated patriarchal institution much like the US gvmt institutions and the power center worldwide. So going up against this takes a lot of courage. We've gotten to the point where those allegations are believed by these men now. But women still have to face this coming mostly from men but other women also. We see it time and time again today in 2018. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 ^ Yes. Since 45 was elected we've seen the mask slip for sure. That goes for race and gender issues. MM being never disappoints in that regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 21, 2018 Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 L'Affaire de Ed Whelan is truly revealing the GOP to be comprised mostly of a band of nutjobs. There is just no other way to describe it. They really are panicking and it's not pretty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
