Kavanaugh

Things to ponder: Julie Swetnick waited three decades to report her allegations, just before the vote to confirm Kavanaugh; she did not report the gang rape parties to law enforcement; she was a young adult in college when she attended high school parties where she says the gang rapes occurred...

Two more accusers came forward, but they are anonymous, second hand witnesses. Kavanaugh was accused by a 'witness' of abusing his girlfriend in 1998, but she strongly denies the allegations.

Kavanaugh responded to the attack on his character by accusing Democrats of smearing him for political purposes, and damaging the process of appointing Supreme Court justices.

by NoahDear Not So Dear Brett Kavanaugh,If you are the accused and you refuse to take a lie detector test and refuse to call for the FBI to investigate the new developments in your situation, and your accusers ask that they themselves be investigated and given the test...

Jeff Merkley-- doing something to stop itI hate writing about Kavanaugh and I'm so glad Noah does every night at midnight. Instead I want to say something about one of my favorite U.S. senators, Jeff Merkley (D-OR). But first a couple of Kavanaugh quickies.

Good day for Trump yesterday? High ratings, certainly. Not ratings about quality-- rating as in eyeballs. But that's what he cares about. His UN thing (at the bottom of the post) was a doozy and that hour and a half long rambling vaudvillian press conference (above)... oy veh. Bragging, lies, bullshit...It's hard to watch him, to listen to him. It makes me sad for our country, especially that thing at the UN, the best part of which being when the world's leaders just laughed at his campaign-mode crap. Seth Meyers was better:Everybody who fact checks, fact checked his press conference.

(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — The media, Congress, and the American people continue to fix to their attention on Brett Kavanaugh and today’s hearings regarding allegations of sexual assault and harassment against him. While these are serious issues and should not be taken lightly, there are numerous other developments that are falling by the wayside as the national conversation remains […]

Does this seem cruel? Perhaps, but not nearly as cruel as what three credible witnesses have now alleged. Are there even more crimes in the wings? In cases like these, there are almost always more more crimes.

by NoahThe latest statistics from RAINN (The Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network), show us that 1 in 6 women has been a victim of rape. 70% of rape cases go unreported, either at the time or until much later if at all, and 99% of rape perps go free. All of this relates closely to the desire of Trumpanzee and his Republican Party to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.

by NoahI woke up this morning to find that the above meme about republican attitudes toward rape had been removed from my personal facebook page. I guess someone at fb objected to people knowing this particular reality of what it means to be a republican in 2018.
