One of the people who accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault is now saying they made the story up.
We’ve...Are we actually going to get to the point where Crosby, Weinstein et al can't keep their jobs in the entertainment industry due to all the allegations but it's fine for a Supreme Court judge to be appointed in similar circumstances?
This is the guy who falsely claimed Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman in Rhode Island.
All of this is extremely reminiscent of the late Roman Republic, this episode is similar to the one when Caesar testified against his own wife to clear Clodius for Tribune of Plebs.
A nice reminder that in a dysfunctional democracy, politicians will sell their own mothers for a bit of advancement.
We’ve...
Anything is possible at this point
Everything is functional up to a point, even dictatorship or tyranny.Mate there is no such thing as a functional democracy. At this stage with all the evidence of history I'm not sure there is any form of functional government at all. Maybe we can create robots who will never develop personal greed and desire for ultimate power some day.
Republicans are sick in the head.
. I despise Republicans for so much but Dems aren't much better at this, even if they are slightly better.
And here we can see the GOP propaganda machine in pure fight back mode. Damn this is ugly.
They are but the Democrats aren't doing much about Keith Ellison or Cory Booker (okay it was a self-admittance so slightly different). Both sides protect their own, tribal warfare dictates they must.

I understand Ellison is being investigated.
If he is guilty he must resign.
The story has been unsurprisingly underreported by the MSM.
Damn. We just found Trump's speech writer. Lol!

But of course....
You're assuming the GOP voters give a feck.
Well if there are multiple accusers who are credible then it will put pressure on Grassley to delay the committee vote since there are no guarantees that Murkowski and Collins will vote for Kavanaugh. The longer the Dems manage to delay the more time they buy themselves to make it more difficult to confirm. If by next week the nomination isn't confirmed then Trump may have to look at another nominee...which would push things toward the mid terms, which is exactly what the Dems want.
The scenario is just insane. There were multiple gang rapes? And he was in the room, just, chilling, while women were getting raped?
We can see why turtle face and some others did not want this guy. But Trump was insistent to get someone to cover his arse.
This will not end well for them.
But of course....
The Cory Booker thing is a non-starter. Should only be mentioned in how ridiculous it is to be used against his credibility. Ellison is a different matter.They are but the Democrats aren't doing much about Keith Ellison or Cory Booker (okay it was a self-admittance so slightly different). Both sides protect their own, tribal warfare dictates they must. I despise Republicans for so much but Dems aren't much better at this, even if they are slightly better.
and could care less what Brett did. .
