Yeah, they’re not too swift about that, are they? Like the guy in Florida who donated to De Santis and made all those racist remarks, and then said he thought Twitter was private.

Cramer - "…So you just have to wonder.”

You got that right buster!

“Not a boss, supervisor-subordinate situation as the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill situation was claimed to be.”

This troglodyte won’t even admit that Clarence Thomas was Anita Hill’s supervisor!

Give me a break. It is a HUGE red flag when an adolescent is cruel to animals. What does it say if they are cruel to another human being? It MATTERS!

I do wonder what Kavanaugh thinks about all of these guys kindly speaking on his behalf. The father of two girls, ya know. Susan Collins had to pretend her outrage about moron’s tweet so she can still vote for him. They’re all still going to back him, aren’t they?

Yeah I hate to say it but this brings up the fact that high school athletes have been sexually abusing new recruits as hazing. It has happened in the football departments of several high schools in New Mexico and at least one I know of in Texas.

Yeah - it’s only high school - nothing bad ever happens in high school.

OMG. Asshole doesn’t know difference between assault and battery.

Tell you what – let’s conduct a little experiment. Let’s have some huge male hold down one of these arrogant old white males and hold a knife to his throat and tell him that he’s going to slice off his balls. Let’s see whether the arrogant old white male feels that “nothing happened” when the huge male lets him go without actually slicing them off.

Here’s a single question for this simpleton- would he feel the same way if his daughter, wife or mother was Dr Ford? Would he feel the same way?

The Five Stages of GOP Grief:

  1. “It never happened!”
  2. "OK, it happened – but she refuses to come forward and identify herself!"
  3. "OK, she came forward and identified herself – but she never told anybody!"
  4. "OK, she told her husband, counselor, therapy group, and polygraph examiner – but it wasn’t Kavanaugh!"
  5. "OK, it was Kavanaugh – but he wasn’t her boss!"

Is it too late to change my bracket in the TPM Senate Pool?

“Again, it was supposedly an attempt or something that never went anywhere.” Cramer continued, “And as God is my witness, if a 17 year old African-American in the great state of North Dakota, attempts to rape a 15 year old white girl, but it never goes anywhere, I shall personally award him a paid internship with my campaign!”

“This wonderful minority black man with a brilliant mind”…

Haha…may as well season the misogyny with a little racism while he’s at it.

So, now they’re debating what constitutes “legitimate assault”? :angry:

Wow! Absolutely powerful statement from Charles Blow.

I sure hope that Cramer just legitimate raped his campaign. My understanding of female human biology is that they can shut the whole system down – by voting for Heitkamp.

On the other hand, I am confident that Cramer is not a witch, so there is that.

Um, Democratic women would be willing to crawl over hot lava on their hands and knees to vote in November. Just sayin’.

This case is even more absurd because these people were teenagers when this supposed, alleged incident took place. Teenagers.

It’s not rape if the people involved are underage.

Not a boss, supervisor-subordinate situation as the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill situation was claimed to be.

It’s not rape unless it’s between a boss and their direct report.

These are teenagers who evidently were drunk according to her own, her own statements. They were drunk when it evidently happened… even by her own accusation.

It’s not rape unless everyone is sober.

Again, it was supposedly an attempt or something that never went anywhere.

It’s not rape unless it succeeds. It’s not illegal to attempt an illegal act, only to accomplish it.

This has been a public service announcement.

What with #MeToo, it can be hard for all us boys – who are just going to be boys – to keep up on the latest fashions. The Student Center will be printing new flashcards, and a wallet-size cheatsheet for the boy-about-town.
