This is the most repulsive abuse of the #metoo notion that I have ever heard. High school? Seriously? Anonymous? No police report? This is going to have one simple result: Entirely lock Republican support of Kavanaugh into a bullet-proof structure. Confirmation: 58-42.
Where’s the “dislike” button? You are consistent, at least, as the board’s most open and proud misogynist.
Trump has a type. More recent allegations may be forthcoming.
I did not try to have sex with that woman.
I’ll admit that the timing of the release of this letter is unfortunate. But, without the accuser being willing to come forward, Feinstein was in a tough spot. Maybe she should have told the other committee members sooner . . . I don’t know. Now we need to see if others come forward to establish this as a pattern of behavior on Kavanaugh’s part. Holding someone down, turning up the music to muffle screams, etc. is more serious than teenage sex.
Already afer only a day, the Pubbies knew this was coming.
It’s like getting a testimonial for Jeffrey Dahmer from the people he didn’t kill and dismember.
So Kavanagh’s supporters knew … which raises the question whether Kavanagh lied under oath about this and whether the Republicans knew he lied.
as much as I pray that Kavanaugh does not get confirmed how can this letter help? without proof? remember what they did to Anita Hill? this woman told someone? reported it? any information? Feinstein weighed those questions I sure hope she conferred with some of the democratic prosecutors
If the allegation is true which I suspect is a real possibility, this was not a one time occurrence. He gives off a real entitled frat boy vibe. I hope that we can get more facts and that any past victims will find the strength to come forward. It would take tremendous courage to come forward in today’s political and media environment.
EXACTLY! I mean seriously, would anyone believe that a republican conservo-christianist would ever try to force himse . . .
Never mind.
it is indicative of a violent vicious man. I do not believe most men behave this way
Gee I can’t think of another Supreme Court Justice, especially a Conservative one who faced allegations. It Will go nowhere.
lol lol lol. and before this letter is was rocky??? this is an obvious mean vicious mendacious man. more women will come forward. get the fork out this roast pork is done
It speaks to character. You know men that you would believe this of and men you know would not do this. To me, it seems totally likely and creditable. The fact the dems had it since early summer and did not use it also. But they knew what he was so they went after him in other ways.
agree they exposed his underside then dropped this letter. Feinstein is a very intelligent woman. there are other woman who will come forward bet my daughter this am by 5 oc today he resigns.
It’s not entirely about Kavanaugh, but about the entire GOP. They are unmoored. Irrespective of sexual deviancy, Kavanaugh has way too much baggage. There are plenty of well-respected conservative judges out there, but the Pubbies have decided to die on this hill. They’ve been hiding damning information and documents all along. This is just the latest example. And when you look at comments from conservatives, it’s mostly of the “Ha Ha Ha. Suck it liberals, Kavanaugh’s gonna get confirmed, #MAGA!!” They simply don’t care that the man is a scoundrel and neither do the GOP senators.
I’m sure there are a ton. In junior high, he possibly laughed loudly when someone farted. It’s possible he cut the lunch line at one point, possibly getting others to do this vicious and depraved act as well. He might have smoked in the boys’ rest room.
The limits of depravity are yet to be plumbed. More will come out.
I’m sure this goes nowhere. It will be dismissed as puberty driven youthful indiscretion if it’s pushed at all. It might have been that too. I think there’s a larger picture in it though. I was a teenage boy boy too and I would not have dreamed of doing such a thing. That’s because I grew up with barriers. and red lines. I think Kavanaugh comes across today as an aloof, entitled insular asshole and from this complaint I think it’s safe to say he’s always been that way. He deserves what he wants. The young Kavanaugh just like the older one. He’s always been special, privileged and insulated form the world’s hard realities. Soon he will be judging us all from that moral plane.
All men have done this. Every single one. And if they were in boy scouts, they did it to other boys in camp. If men say they did not do this, they are lying. Women did it too
