Its a job interview. If you went into a job interview for a lifetime position and someone claimed you raped them, then you likely wouldn't get the job.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

words are evidence and are used to convict people all the time. she didnt come forward before because rape apologists like you would react the way you are reacting now. she suddenly decided when her attacker was up for a position that would allow him to decide what millions of women can do with their own bodies
Disappointed that nobody made a Flakes on Plane joke.
FFS, really. You don't know why a teenage girl didn't press charges against rich kid prep school boys who raped her at a party in 1983?
interesting.
Increase it by 2 and get two far left judges.
increase it by however many it takes.
I mean this literally shows you haven't even followed the basic facts of this discussion
Too right.
The Republicans have taught us that we need to exercise Absolute power without mercy.
heck. Just do it in 2020.
When you look at these Republicans, you have to question the districts that send them to Washington.
As an example - my oldest friend was going for a big job in the police. I had to be part of his vetting process as an outsider (since I've known him a long time).
A lot of the questions they asked me were personal (and there's a reason for it). If I had said anything dodgy whatsoever, he wouldn't have progressed.
I don't know why conservatives are pretending like they've never heard of this scenario before. Nobody wants a rapey judge in the highest court of the land.
Another day, another reminder why I've tried to ignore US politics. Just depressing.
"People" like you are why .
And all this talk about midterms when the Republicans even refused to hold hearings when Obama nominated Garland with 9 whole months till the elections.
But this guy, who has been accused by 3 different women of sexual misconduct, nominated by a President who is under investigation for colluding with a foreign power, for possible obstruction of justice and much more with the elections just weeks away, must be confirmed asap without any investigation. Yeah, makes sense

So you investigate it thoroughly You don’t turn round with any criminal accusation and say “oh there’s not a shred of evidence to support this” and leave it at that. That’s why investigations are done the world over. To try and reach the truth.
And sadly....Manchin as well.
Because there was a policy back then that what happen in the house stayed out of the courthouse. It would have never have come to trial 36 years ago.
No one on here is saying that he is definitely guilty. They are saying that she is credible and that they believe there should be an FBI investigation.
Testimony is evidence.
Source: am lawyer.
To the second point. There are several reasons why victims of sexual assault don't tell anyone immediately. That is not me saying "x definitely happened" but asking that question as though it is definitive is moronic.
i would fecking hope so. any democrat who votes for kavanaugh needs to be defeated in the primaries
People dispute it, especially since Trump was elected, but they're just filled with backward, desperate people. Especially on social issues.
People like to think there's a bit more nuance to it because they don't like to think half their country could be so deplorable.
She was just a young girl.
This has scarred her for life. But she chose to be strong and made a life for herself.
What is this country coming to.
Sending rapists to the SC.
next will be pedophiles....from the Family Values party.
They got Gomez Adams talking.
Testimony is evidence, Dum.
as opposed to when no rapists went to the SC?
Not surprised to see you arguing this point...
They backed Roy Moore through his campaign.
About 30 years too late.
True. Whoresons.
I think half the UK is deplorable and backward and our politicians aren't half as bad as these Republicans. These guys are proper poison.
The worst thing about people who know nothing is that they don't know enough to realise how much they don't know, and stay quiet on topics as a result.
Hell, most places I've worked, if you were found to have lied in the job interview, you're getting sacked... if you were hired at all. Even if you lied about something as innocuous as boofing cocaine
Evidence to collaborate what she is saying besides her word and the words of her husband.
Why did these same Dems witheld the accusations for more than 40 days?
For obvious reasons, I might add. If someone accuses you of you raping someone 30 years ago, what'll you do? Ask the police to investigate you?
Yes, why? He's far more powerful now than she is. The difference has only grown larger with time, not smaller. And please, she was a rich kid herself. Attending a private school and born into Washington's suburbs. Certainly not from a poor family.
And he was there, answering questions. If someone claimed I raped them, I doubt the job interviewer would have cared at all, unless she had evidence. In that case, sure. But Dr. Ford doesn't.
Words are never evidence unless by a witness. And all the witnesses collaborated Kavanaugh's version. The only one who can collaborate her word is her herself.
I’m still just laughing at the sheer absurdity of the defense that a woman would come out against the old-moneyed white male establishment and ruin her life in a futile effort to derail a judicial appointment just for shits and giggles.
But in the US we make them president.
My mate went for a job interview at GCHQ and they ask all sorts of shit about drugs and bestiality porn and whatever. I told him before not to lie so when it came to it he told them about all the drugs he did and they had no issues at all. Apparently they just don’t like it if you talk bollocks to them.
Mmm hmm.
Here's how it would have went down.
Police: "Raped? Where? At a party? Were you drinking? What where you wearing? Have you ever kissed boys before? Sorry, we can't press charges as you were asking for it. But you're welcome for the added shame we've just provided for your daddy's tax dollars"
I look at American politics and wonder how the F**k can the yanks be a world leader.
What a horrible crew on both sides.
What a horrible crew on both sides.
She's a anti-Trump, has attended "Women's march" and a donator to the Democrats. Wow. I wonder why she is willing to "ruin" her life.
