US Politics

Given how Partizan an issue this is I do wonder if it will ultimately make any difference?
I can see the republicans just saying he's been charged with nothing and innocent till proven guilty and just voting him through... Hope I'm wrong but wouldn't surprise me to see them back him especially with the mid terms round the corner
Oh I still can't believe that 54% of the white women voted for Trump despite the 'grab' em by the pussy' tape and the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct against him. To think that they would rather vote for a guy like that than vote for a woman and help her become the first ever woman President of the country sickens me.
 
In regards to polygraph testing, it really is horseshit and should simply be nowhere near anything even closely resembling a court of law, or any other institution whatsoever. It’s pseudoscience at best. There are people like me for example, in the autistic spectrum, to whom it is basically impossible to get a fair result.
That those things actually play a role in law enforcement shows you how fecked up the US is.

There is no statute of limitations in Maryland where this happened so if he gets through the Dems can dig deeper and impeach. From what I've read on Kavanagh and the stories I've been told about frat douche culture there will definitely be more disgusting shit to be found.
I hope this rapist becomes the face of the rape problem in this country.

I would be compelled to lie just to see if it works.
 
So will this prosecutor be questioning the rapist for the white dudes or is she there just to question the victim?

It's bunkum.

Inadmissible as evidence in many US courts. And you can't be forced to take one. However prosecutors use them to establish credibility with varying levels of success.
 
They ask standard questions like your age, weight, etc to establish the baseline. If all those episodes of Law and Order I watched are to be believed, anyway.
It might have been Harry Potter and Veritaserum that I was thinking about.

I understand that she will question both.
 
Jesus H Christ, If this guy is confirmed, America might as well close shop.

She's the defendant remember, she's being questioned to the nth degree by a prosecutor because she's in court accused of lying and making up serious allegations about man with impeccable character.

And that alone is grotesque and shows you how screwed up that whole system is. Also, if I’m not mistaken, there are actually companies who use them to test employees. How that’s not illegal is beyond me. It’s already screwed up for normal people. Using them on someone like me is beyond stupid. I could never get a positive result with this shit.
 
There's an episode of Bullshit where Penn basically has a guy teaching you how to fool a polygraph. Can't remember the method anymore but it was something pretty simple.

Here's something funny -

 
I refuse to believe Trump would've been elected if it was shown he was a rapist.

The number of accusations against him, plus this nugget...

I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything.

Fair to say if Kavanaugh had this profile not 1 Republican would back him.
