Ford: "I am a victim of a crime that happened 36 or maybe 37 years ago. I don't recall any details, but recently remembered that Kavanaugh did it. I want to tell my story. I want to testify before Congress to stop his nomination!"
Congress: "Okay, we will set it up for Monday at 10am."
Ford: "Whoa, wait a minute. I have conditions. I want him to tell his side of the story first."
Kavanaugh: "I have no idea what she's talking about."
Ford: "And I just remembered the names of other people who took part."
Other people: "We have no idea what she's talking about."
Ford: "And my best friend was there, too. She'll back me up."
Friend: "I have no idea what she's talking about."
Ford: "And I want a full investigation by the FBI first."
FBI: "That's actually not what we do."
Ford: "I might not be available Monday at 10am. It depends."
Media: "Kavanaugh is a monster! See how the white male patriarchy is conspiring to destroy her credibility and cover up for his crimes!"

Oh, and this loony toon is stalling because she doesn't know how to dress and is saying she is going to drive all the way cross country. Dems are just stalling and looking dumb.

That is a pretty accurate summary.

I look at it like this if the dems were about to nominate a liberal Justice and any or all of these accusations came out nobody would give a fuck or give it a second glance just like how they delt with the Keith Ellison woman beating case. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

These days I’d say it’s clear that it’s not being used for partisan purposes by the left or Al Franken would still be around.

Honestly yo their own detriment at times the left is really pushing for this to be a thing that matters.

The Franken thing was a joke and an example of the Democrats "playing by the rules" to their own detriment. You need to fight dirty to beat the Republicans, because they will do anything it takes to win. And if they didn't carry that attitude, they'd never win an election again.

claim of rape or sexual assault should not become a way to beat a political opponent. it shouldn't be partisan. when it actually happens, it should be a big deal regardless of whether you're a donkey or an elephant.

Remember back to 2008 and people like yourself saying Republicans would never win again? Since then, they flipped everything at both the state and federal level.

That's funny saying repulicans will do anything it takes to win when I see it as the democrats doing whatever it takes to win. I don't think the lady involved thought it was a joke being humiliated while she was asleep. Too bad for Franklin he would be loving this situation just like Booker the titty grabber who isn’t an attempted sex offender because he wrote an article about grabbing it.

Republicans have a front row seat to control the House, Senate and Supreme Court but are quite literally trying to lose because many of them are bowing to their corporate overlords who have them bought and owned. Only one politician isn't bought and owned. And he isn't even a politician, but is still the current prez.

Fuck politicians.

Just left Barnes & Noble book store. Right when you walk in they have a giant display of books dedicated to slamming Trump. "Case for Impeachment", "An Inside Look at Putin' War Against America and the Election of Donald Trump". It's hilariously pathetic how bad people are trying to slander him. Buncha fuckin tryhards.

If a woman lies about rape, assault, etc..., she should be entitled to the same punishment she's accusing the other person of doing.

Imagine the justice.
