Kavanaugh Debacle

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.
Forum rules
We tolerate extreme views, assuming no actual discrimination against board-members occurs. We will let snowflakes melt from the heat.

That was so fucking awful. You’re there to confront your behavior towards women and that aggressive bullshit is how you reply to a woman. Fuck me.


Either they are so tone deaf to the world as to render themselves unelectable or the US really is lost.
Your bias has him being a rapist because he's conservative but try to step outside of that for a second how would you act if you were accused of rape in a scenario that's impossible to disprove becuase the only knowledge the victim has is it was you who did it decades ago. Your wife would hear this your kids would hear this. I would lose my shit personally.
on the flipside, how would you act if someone assaulted you, and witnesses that you were sure were there, didn't remember being there. and then backlash and ridicule started up, because of you seeming to be dishonest. would you start to doubt coming forward any further? would you find reasons or ways to push it off, out of anxiety and fear?

it could go both ways. i don't know what happened, but none of the rest of us do either, for sure. we're all speculating from our own perspectives, seb included.
You make a valid point but I can tell you what I wouldn't do. Contact a news outlet before I contacted law enforcement. Let politicians use me and my trauma as a political torpedo.
she may have gone to law enforcement before, if this really happened the way she says it did? maybe they just blew her off cause there was nothing she could give as concrete evidence so nothing they could do?
If she did it's one more thing she forgot. I want to sympathize with her but in doing so I won't demonize someone else without a single particle of evidence.
And the cycle of violence against women continues unabated.
In Sweeden and the UK are you considered guilty because of an accusation I would think that not the case in any civilized free society. People are wrongly accused and spend decades in prison because of someone mistakenly honestly believing something. I hate this argument that it's not a trial and there is no need for evidence that is such an archaic way of doing things.
I mean Kavanaugh deserves prison time for attempting to rape someone, but I don’t think that’s why they had Dr Ford tried here.

Sexual violence and assault is something that for too long has swung in the favourite of men and it needs to change but every move to change that, to try and equalize the playing field, is met by people like you, and Foo, who demand absolute proof where there rarely is any, regardless of credibility or suffering. And that’s why abusing women continues unabated. The odds of facing negative consequences are way too low for the men involved in this behavior and the likelihood of women reporting things decreases with every case like this one where a woman comes forward to do the right thing to the detriment of herself and her family, to subject herself to total humiliation and threatening behavior, and to the despite these sacrifices be turned away and disbelieved. It won’t ever get better if this is how it operates in every sphere we are in.
Absolute proof! There's no proof not some not a little there's none. The only one with proof is him because there are other witnesses corroborating his side of things.

There rarely is. Hence my point. It will continue to be bad for women and they’ll keep facing sexual violence.

If he gets the seat watch how fast the dems abandon Dr. Ford. They will have gotten what they needed from her and they will move on and also you know everyone of those senators have their own investigation teams who they can send to investigate anything having to do with a nominee.

Two men have admitted they were the ones who groped Blasey Ford at a party. Their claim is being investigated.

One of the other accusers admitted her story was a lie when the investigation into her claims began.

So yeah, let's make Kavanaugh out to be evil because he is a conservative, stop hiding behind other reasons.

Want to know something fairly interesting, in a somewhat mundane way?

One of my aunts is a well-respected lawyer near D.C., and she's one of the many trying to assist Kavanaugh in his nomination.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09 ... -list.html

https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/sup ... 1.20874193


When I last spoke to her, she had somewhat interesting things to say about what she thought of Kavanaugh. Just a small point of interest to a slim connection to this.
For my thoughts on the horror films I've seen, please look here: https://jigsawshorrorcorner.wordpress.com/

unless someone on hmf has shown to go after conservatives, solely, and dismiss or defend liberals who are accused, then don't make such claims. or if you do, don't pretend it's not out of your own bias and agenda.

in similar news: a man who has been proven to have assaulted and violated a woman doesn't get any jail time (even after being sentenced to jail time), doesn't even get registered as an offender.at least as of now.

That judge should be removed from the bench but I don't see what being a shitty judge has to do with this that man was convicted because of evidence.

I certainly wouldn't wait 48 years for the absolute perfect time to damage people politically. You see this a lot in the NFL, too. The minute a rookie is drafted and gets a huge payday, young women claim sexual assault. Happened with Peyton fucking Manning of all people. A woman giving him a physical exam in college made some assault claims. The bitch's story changed after a few years. Peyton's side has always been that he lifted up his gown and mooned his teammates who were watching through the window. Once he got to the NFL (perfect timing!), she claimed he sexually mooned her and not the other way around. Peyton's story never changed, but years later she came back with it (coincidentally when he got a 96 million dollar payday) and said he pinned her down and shoved his dick and balls on her face. Peyton Manning. lol. She should be in prison for trying to pull that horse shit.

Anecdotal, and very personal, but my Uncle's daughter who was 12 at the time claimed he touched her sexually. Once the police came, grilled him and arrested him, she apologized profusely and said she only did it because he thought one of her friends was a really bad influence and wouldn't let her stay the night at her house. It is becoming a "thing" to accuse men of sexual assault or rape or whatever. My Uncle's daughter did it because she was mad at him. Not even a teenager and already learned of the horse shit that so many women try to pull. They still went through the investigation, and everyone in the family knew she was lying anyway, but if she was still pissed at him, she could have easily stuck to her guns and my Uncle would be in prison for the rest of his life.

Women are doing a tremendous disservice to themselves by lying about sexual assault and rape. Or "coming forward" about a guy hitting on them at a bar or something so trivial and trying to ruin their lives. Then the feminists turn around and pat each other on the back for being brave. Liberalism is a walking double standard and a totally dishonest way of living.

there are always going to dishonest people and people who try to manipulate and game the system. i reject the notion that because one woman is a liar, maybe they all are.
