Kavanaugh Nomination

Did you share your peanut butter and jelly sandwich with your classmate?



First grade, what is this??

 

If she didn't actually want something in exchange for not coming forward, it's not blackmail.
Come on.

 

Why would she contact him? Just to threaten she would? Hi Brett. We haven't talked in awhile. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to accuse you of exposing yourself to me back in college. Because you're a douchebag.

Please. Even you aren't that challenged.

She just goes forward and makes her accusations without contacting him if she has no reason to discuss it with him beforehand. The facts were not going to be any different.

 

No they wanted to know if I displayed any early signs of things like bullying other kids, unprovoked violence, troublemaker in class. Etc. Any early signs of like brain abnormalities or childhood issues that may be surfacing.

When I went back to retrieve old school records, my old 2nd grade teacher was then the principal at the high school. She said they basically look at report cards and ask any currently located staff questions. One of my old classmates had become a teacher as well. I kind of had a crush on her. She told them that. It wasn't a lie. .

But yeah....now if I shared my PBJ with a girl......I'm screwed.

 

That’s crazy to go back that far!

 

I guess it depends on what they are looking for. I know one thing. Around the mid 90s they started having problems with the cost involved to not only get a clearance, but the cost of re certing us. So if you didn't need the same level they just de certed you rather than paying to keep it current.

So that may be a factor now. They simply try and save money by cutting back on background checks that don't dig as deep. I'd totally believe that. But there is no way in hell a police report would have not shown up for just about any level of clearance level.

They started letting some drunks and like serial relationship issues and high debts and stuff get a pass. Things got kinder and genter. I have no idea what a SCOTUS candidate has to certify to. But it's obviously not going to be enough now.

 

The gifts that keep on giving!

Republican Senator Hides in Men’s Bathroom When Confronted by Sexual-Assault Survivors

 

Not Judges and Prosecutors...Registered Voters and Concerned Citizens!

 

The warfare has begun. I wonder how long this will take to make it's way to a senator?



Oughta be easy to verify the stated facts.

We can't dare question her credibility as a sexual assault victim. Nor if it's politically motivated.

That what be hypocritical.

We should all join together to support the impeachment of Feinstein. Or at the very least open a full FBI investigation on her. With no restrictions or time limits.

 

I don't see what the relation is with Feinstine? She said a Japanese man went into her room? She said she was raped by one of her donors? Jim Jones was from Indiana?

 

Lindsey Graham is a real piece of shit
Thats all I have to say about that

 

CrimethInc. : Kavanaugh Shouldn’t Be on the Supreme Court. Neither Should Anyone Else.


"Last week, millions watched the dramatic hearings pitting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh against Christine Blasey Ford, who courageously narrated her experience of being sexually assaulted by him decades ago. Once again, Americans were confronted with the brazen entitlement of the male power establishment. The hearings stirred up traumatic memories for countless survivors, ratcheted up partisan tensions, and catalyzed furious responses from feminists and progressives in view of the implications of the court shifting further to the right. With Roe v. Wade hanging in the balance, critics point out the horrifying irony of an unrepentant sexual predator potentially casting the deciding vote to block abortion access to millions of women and others across the country.

We applaud the courage of Christine Blasey Ford and everyone who has supported her through this ordeal. We don’t want to see Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, either. But should any man be able to wield that much power over the lives of millions?

What if the Trump administration manages to find a judge with the same views, but with no history of sexual assault? Would that render the confirmation process legitimate and their decisions of the Supreme Court beyond question? Should people of conscience accept the sovereignty of a nine-person elite over the most intimate spheres of their lives?

What does it look like to resist the nexus of rape culture and far-right power that Kavanaugh represents? The usual suspects propose the conventional solutions: calling representatives, canvassing for Democrats, taking to the streets to hold signs indicating our displeasure. But even if these efforts forestall Kavanaugh’s nomination this time around, they won’t disrupt the relations of power in which hundreds of millions are held hostage to the machinations of a small, mostly male elite. A victory against this particular nominee would only reset the clock; eventually, Trump will force through a new candidate who will rule the same way Kavanaugh intends to. And even if Trump is impeached or a Democrat is elected and a progressive nominee is sworn in—we’re still in the same place we started, vulnerable to the whims of a judicial aristocracy and alienated from our own power and potential. We need an approach that challenges the foundations of the system that put us in this situation in the first place.

Meanwhile, progressive critics such as Amy Goodman have demanded an FBI investigation as a way to give official weight to Ford’s testimony and hopefully discredit Kavanaugh as a candidate. Goodman points out, reasonably, that Trump’s claim to be in favor of law enforcement while hesitating to order the FBI to look into Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct reveals his hypocrisy. This logic positions progressives and feminists as the honest proponents of law enforcement—and police as protectors of women. Have we learned nothing from decades of rape crisis organizers explaining how the police and courts so often serve to retraumatize survivors, putting them on trial rather than those who attacked them? Can we ignore the feminists of color from INCITE to Angela Davis who call on us to remember that police and prisons do not stop rape but rather intensify poverty, racism, and injustice?

Democrats are trying to recast themselves as the real “law and order” candidates. This is not so much a change in strategy as a revealing of their true colors. Between the blue of “blue states” and the blue of “blue lives matter,” it’s only a matter of tone, not content.

In TV newsrooms and around water coolers across the country, the discussions about this case have focused on how “believable” or “credible” Ford’s testimony is versus that of Kavanaugh. Taking this approach, we become an entire nation of judges and juries, debating evidence and scrutinizing witnesses, choosing whose experience to legitimize and whose to reject. This adversarial framework has always benefitted those who wield privilege and hold institutionalized power. Even if we rule in favor of Ford, we are reproducing the logic of a legal system based in patriarchal notions of truth, judgment, and objectivity, a way of understanding reality that has always suppressed the voices and experiences of the marginalized, preserving the conditions that enable powerful men to sexually abuse others with impunity.

Unfortunately, calls for FBI investigations reinforce this logic and legitimize the murderous regime of surveillance, policing, and prisons as a means of obtaining justice rather than a source of harm. Rejecting the rape culture that Kavanaugh and his supporters represent necessarily means rejecting the patriarchal institutions through which they wield power. If we legitimize any of those institutions in the course of trying to be pragmatic in our efforts to discredit specific officials, we will only undercut our efforts: one step forward, two steps back."

So is Feinstein and Booker.

Welcome to professional politics.

 

You keep indicating that you havent really looked into the Booker thing and just took at face value what you read on Gateway Pundit or whatever right leaning site you picked it up from.

 

spartcus isn't liked much by anyone I know. left or right. .idk.

 

Believe it or not, I agree with both these statements.

I’ll follow up with this thread later

 

Where did I say I have looked deeply into Booker. The very little I know about him is he has admitted he was a groper, he went to the same school and same time as Blasey was teaching and he walks out in protest when he doesn't get his way.

That was light week of knowledge. Other than I don't need to know much more until he gives me reason to

None of that came off a site you state.

Those alone are enough so far.

If you care to refute any if this we can compare sources. He write the account of groping. The rest was his resume of education and on TV last week.

Oh yeah and some bonehead stunt where he said he would violate rules by releasing something he demanded be seen. Some information that supposedly wasn't supposed to be released. Don't recall. It's ancient history of like 2 weeks now. Lol

 

We also double as Jury and executioner

 

Oh there's that classic NMRM debate tactic of making shit up and then declaring it's stupid to not agree with you... as well as calling me 'challenged' anyways.

Her warning him about it seems like a product of rage, like she wanted to taunt him and see him lose his shit... and it obviously did mess with his head, given the performance he gave in front of the cameras.

Once again, blackmail involves making demands in exchange for not coming forward with whatever leverage you have on a person. If you have evidence that she made demands for money or favor or something else then by all means share it.

But taunting someone to let them know how fucked they are because it feels good isn't blackmail. I know you're desperate to believe things that aren't true, but try using some critical thought once in a while.

 

Taunting with threat of defamatory statements gets you some handcuffs.

So let's see according to your gymnastics. Hi Brett we haven't spoken in years. I hate you. I'm gonna tell on you. Just thought I'd contact you to let you know. Unless you don't run for SCOTUS. Then I won't say anything.

Something like that?

If I wanted to blow up Kavenaugh. I sure as hell ain't gonna let him now ahead of time. Unless she wants a reason to be quiet.
