Kavanaugh getting shot down actually helped their midterm chances more. Gotcha! Thanks for explaining! I have been trying to ignore politics lately to avoid being angry, but lately it is not working very well. I don't care about Kavanaugh. I DO care when angry women tell me that I should not be allowed to have an opinion if I have not been sexually abused. It may seem crazy, but I think that the EXTREMELY vocal angry women may end up causing more people to vote R than D. It will be interesting either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 More of Collins speech. I would like to know what she lied about. She stated nothing but facts. It is clearly Ford who is either delusional and used or should be tried for perjury. http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/10/05/susan-collins-kavanaugh-speech-senator-blasts-leaker-fords-name-defends-feinstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting either way Until you’re married to a woman who was molested when she was 9 years old by a family member, and subsequently told she was lying, then maybe you can understand. Perhaps I’m reading your post wrong or this is non sequitur; but the way you phrased your post here is pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising how frequent this is. I too have a family member molested at a young age. Thankfully, her abuser went to jail. The trips to the CHIPS clinic at Children's for colposcopies still sucked ass. No fixing that. Luckily, she's well adjusted and married to a good guy now.

homersapien 11,498 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 1 hour ago, AUFAN78 said: True. Sane people vote as well. Here's a thought: What happens if we have another situation like Bush v. Gore in 2020 and this SCOTUS proclaims Trump president with less of the popular vote (as happened then and in 2016). Do you assume that whoever is in Gore's place this time around will be as accommodating and gracious to that decision? How do you think the the majority of voters will react? The combination of our constitutional electoral system + a partisan majority on the SCOTUS is fraught with the possibility of civil unrest. The polarity in our politics has the potential to ruin us. And Trump is accentuating the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe her, then there's a basic acceptance that Kavanaugh was the perpetrator of Ford's trauma. If you don't believe her, then fine, but just freaking say it. As most sexual assault cases do, it comes down to how compelling is the witness. I think Collins just lied through her teeth here to make herself look like a woman who doesn't want to appear callous. Of course you think it is BS. All good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letter was sent to her. Why did Dr. Ford trust her after that? It was all orchestrated by we know who. That's where the FBI should be investigating.
