Or it could be the fact that an investigation could take long enough so the Republicans no longer have the Senate majority. The longer the investigation takes the longer scumbag news outlets like CNN can spam "news" and influence plebs into voting against "the party that defends sexual assault".

Honestly, I feel like we're in the twilight zone. Like wtf is there to investigate? She'll get up there and talk about how she's been traumatized for the last 35 years because some drunk guy groped her when they were teens at a party? Fuck me, what a world we live in when this is enough to completely destroy a person.

If this is the precedent like 98% of guys in this world should be looking over their shoulder if they ever run for office. I know personally in my past, i've had enough relationships that at least one of these chicks might be willing to be a spiteful bitch 20 years later just to fuck me over.


Google and the liberal media are a threat to free democracy as we know it. Jefferson would want them murdered

it doesn't actually matter, yet. As long as Kavanaugh is sworn in by the end of this week, it doesn't matter if it happened monday or friday

the accusation is locked her in a room with 2 males and one covered her mouth while trying to undress her

no reason to minimize what the accusation was

"Locked her in a room"

"2 males"

"covered her mouth"

"trying to undress her"


Whatever amplifying descriptors you want to use to make nothing into something doesn't change reality.

A drunk 17 year old grabbing a girls ass or whatever at a house party whether it's wanted or unwanted is very common. If unwanted 99% of these are resolved with a punch in the mouth, with a fuck off and so on. At worst, maybe cops are involved and he might get some slap on the wrist, meanwhile, this is the gossip at the high school for a week or two.

Maybe you're some virgin dweeb that thinks such interactions are crimes against humanity but most of us normal folk that have lived through this recognize how ridiculous it is that someone is traumatized by something like this for 35 years.

She doesn't claim they locked her in a room, but that she fled from them and locked herself in a bathroom

This isn't about grabbing a girl's ass this is about allegedly holding a hand over her mouth and sexually assaulting her in a room with 2 guys

I'm someone that thinks minimizing what is alleged and doing the boys will be boys nonsense is a major problem when trying to have an environment where victims of sexual assault can come forward after it happens

Why are you talking about things that aren't even alleged?

If this were a black 17 year old boy doing what I described above to your white christian 15 year old daughter would you have the same feelings?

Could matter from a political perspective. More time to drag out bad GOP optics and headlines. A Benghazi approach. It's all politics. I believe Ford. But I also believe this is what the Democratic party could be doing at this point. They know Kavanaugh is getting confirmed.
