Is there a statute of limitations on the rape? If it was long ago and there is an SOL, then charges aren't possible.
I think he’s an attention whore . But he’s pretty much come through when he says he has something. We will see. I saw him on Cuomo and he didn’t go as far. He did say the woman was both a witness and a victim.
I'm not singling him out.
And expanding on my post just above, I'm speaking to that divide that isn't just a partisan one or a political party one. It's a difference of perception. We saw it in the reaction to BLM. We saw it in the reaction to Charlottesville and the confederate statues. We saw it in the reaction to Kavanaugh's accuser(s). Anger. Outright rejection of a contrary view. Demonization of that contrary view. By the folks who've traditionally and really still do hold the position of something like privilege. While those on the other side aren't church mice, a large segment simply has expressed a "new" view based on their own personal experiences and from a position of something other than privilege and with a result that left them with something like the short end of the stick. That genuine and learned perspective isn't considered with sober reflection or an openness to something different by those who drew the long stick. It's shouted down. This thread is something of an example of that. It feels hard-wired in people.
I thought your basic point was that it paints a significantly different picture than he's trying to paint now and that present-time disingenuity is the problem.
Furthermore, this demonization is misplaced because it's Kavanaugh's job interview. These people are defending Kavanaugh and demonizing the Other as if they're thinking there are no other applicants. He is it. It's an unintelligent, knee-jerk, root-for-the-team action and it's undermining the integrity of the Supreme Court, independent of whether or not Kavanaugh is qualified.
I'd like to see an OJ defense: If the condom doesn't fit, you must acquit. That would make for good CSPAN viewing.
You take yourself and perhaps life way too seriously.
I'd be interested to learn what precipitated his transformation from obnoxious privileged drunken frat boy to studious academic choir boy.
True blackouts are like fugue states -- there is no recollection, period. Not a foggy or vague memory, it's a black nothing, like being under anesthesia. It's like time has been erased. They're more often associated with liquor than beer.
And how sad is that , once again, it’s only the women that are put on the hot seat about possible sexual abuse. Everyone else just assumes the men will go along with whatever Trump wants. Spineless jellyfish, lacking in character, integrity, and particularly testosterone.
Exactly. I mentioned that the other day. If the woman is drunk it’s her fault for getting abused and if the man is drunk, that explains why he sexually abused someone. Trump finally alluded to it today, by saying Victim 2 admitted to being drunk.
On the bright side, maybe the simplest and most realistic solution to our current political morass is just more women in the US Congress. For instance, what if there were less than 40 white, male Republicans?
