After pushing me down on the bed, she used one hand to hold down my left arm and one hand to hold down my right. She used another hand to cover my mouth, and another hand to cover my eyes so I couldn't see who she was. She used another hand to unbuckle my belt and unzip my fly and another hand to reach in and fondle by butt. She used another hand to unbutton her blouse, and she used two more hands to play the saxophone while she ravaged me, and another hand to brush her hair, and another hand to make an entry into her diary about the attack. If only I could get my hands on that diary, Unfortunately, it's just my word against hers.

Pathetic. Enjoy Election Day.

It's pretty easy to understand. Once the victim decides not to come forward immediately after the assault, inertia will prevent her from ever doing so. Why would she wait a year, or five years, or 10 years, or...36 years, and then come forward? Because, as an object at rest - i.e., one not coming forward - she will remain so unless acted upon by an outside force. In this case, the outside force is the rise to prominence of the accused. Until that time, there was no reason to come forward against a relatively unknown assailant after the statute of limitations had expired. What possible good could have come from it for her or anyone else, since there would have been no publicity? There's still no recourse in a court of law for justice to be done after so many years have passed, but in her mind, now's the optimum time to exact revenge, when the damage that can be caused to him through her revelation is at its highest, as is her opportunity to gain financially and achieve fame (or infamy), while riding the crest of the #MeToo wave.

She simply struck while the iron was hot.

You're being very kind, assuming she is honest and that she remembers the event accurately.

Do you want a spoiler as to how election day will go, Fredo? Dems take the house, Republicans keep the Senate. Gridlock for two years.

Look, I fully grasp this first-hand. I've been to many a TrollStop, met dozens of posters, and have witnessed countless actions and conversations during them that I'm certain those who participated would be most regretful if I were to bring them to the light of day. I'm not maintaining my silence because I'm just a niiiiiice guy or because I'm adhering to some code of honor. There's simply no upside to exposing any of it at this point.

And why wouldn’t we enjoy that? We the people should love each party holding one chamber. That will mean nothing but basics get done which is great for us the citizens.

Govt shutdown? Sure. And 75% of those employees told to stay home should also get a pink slip the following day.

she waited 36 years, and it makes me extremely skeptical of her.

If she is going to wait 36 years, she better bring so very compelling evidence of what she is selling.

You got that right.

I flew into the Seattle airport and saw that the U.S. was well on the way to becoming a 3rd world shithole.


But you're wrong about the blame.

Nobody will give a shit about talk shows and people will be in no mood to lay blame.

People will be in survival mode -- trying not to DIE.

Naw. It won't be like that. The Soviet Union collapsed, and the shit did not hit the fan that hard. Times change. There will be a new order. Perhaps California and the west coasters will get their chance to run their own country. Perhaps those in the south will do the same. It happens. Whoopie shit. It ain't going to turn into night of the living dead.

88 wrote:The whole situation is preposterous. Judge Kavanaugh is a sitting federal court judge. He had to go through a senate confirmation process in 2006, and was confirmed that time on a 57-36 vote. There is nothing in his entire life that suggests he sexually assaults women. Nothing.

Only when it became clear that he was going to be confirmed as the next justice of the U.S. Supreme Court does an allegation of a sexual assault arise. And it is supposedly something that occurred when he was 16 or 17. Even the nature of the assault that he is alleged to have perpetrated is weak sauce, particularly by Kennedy family standards. And it does not fit any of this life history. Nothing.

So we have this vagina-hat-wearing loon and her cadry of filthy lawyers attempting to manipulate a confirmation hearing and vote. It is a circus sideshow. And it won't work. There simply is no "there" there. I personally hope this galvanizes Kavanaugh's views on libtards when he performs his duties as a member of the SCOTUS. But I genuinely believe he is an honorable man, and won't let this hit job affect his judicial reasoning.

We even have DemocRATS proclaiming loudly on television that they believe the accuser, even though the accuser has done nothing but write a letter (which no one has yet seen) and authorize schlock partisan attorneys to speak for her in the public square. She has not ever provided her accusation in any form that people can properly judge. Do we want people with that kind of judgment running the country? Talking about a rush to judgment...

This is the worst political horse-shit I've ever seen in my life. The use of Anita Hill was bad. How Bork was treated was bad. But this one is so over the top it is incredible.

This country is going to fall apart. And after that happens, people who are honest will look at the Blue Wave Riding Pukes and lay the blame for its destruction directly on them. Way to go, dumb shits.

especially one with a history of allegedly sexually assaulting young women.

And the man who appointed him is a sexual assaulter himself

and is arguably the most unpopular president at a mid term in US history.

Robert Mueller is about to back the truck up with mountains of evidence implicating Trump and his organized crime family in serious crimes

No one said you have to like it, you just have to deal with it.
