Kavanaugh protesters

I am with the ladies on this one. Such an important position, why not just find one that doesnt have any accusations against him

 

Because it's all baseless accusations that were politically motivated out of the left's hatred for Trump (at least that is how it appears at face value). Zero evidence was provided to back up Ford's accusations, and the people she named had no recollection of what was alleged to have taken place. The Democrats and "progressive" libtards were against Trump's pick before he was even named. I am sure if it was anyone else, they would have made up similar allegations with zero backing to substantiate them.

 

There were 3 accusers right?, FBI investigation was only 1 week and we are talking about a nomination for the Supreme court. Its all just a bit too iffy, and its a postion in public office. Innocent before being proven guilty doesnt have to apply, plenty of examples just in the US where public officials are take out of the equation just on accusations.

But just from Trumps angle, I dont think it was a good idea in the long run, why have this issue hanging over your head, for one guy to basically not get a promotion?

 

My view is let the law take its' course. Someone is innocent until proven guilty. In Kavanaugh's case allegations have been made, but I don't believe he has been charged with anything (correct me if I'm wrong). If he is charged then let's see if he's found guilty, and if he is then obviously he'll be booted off the Supreme Court and into jail. If he's charged then I imagine he'd have to resign to clear his name anyway.

 

He has not been charged with anything.

 

How can we stop Trump?
Hey.. I know! We can use identity politics against him!

*Fails*

Damn it, that didn't work...

How can we stop Kavanaugh? Lets use identity politics!

*fails*

Damn it! What are we doing wrong? We aren't using enough identity politics!

 

They seem like odd accusations though. So Dr Ford just...made it all up? All of his former classmates, made all of their comments up?
I believe in due process of law, but it's not about convicting him of anything, as much as there will always be wonder in the hearts of many ...over all of the controversy around him.

 

"baseless accusations , politically motivated ,zero evidence , no recollection , alleged ,Democrats-progressive LIBTARDS , zero backing. Hate Trump?? Yup--no doubt about that in my case. And I don't like people that have no discernible discretion when it comes to personal character. Never been fond of liars, bullies, con men, crooks, those who stick up for them, or KNOW IT ALLS. Kavanaugh= the Clintons, the vast left wing conspiracy, a travesty---and maybe most telling="what goes around comes around." That is a payback threat, not the considered statement of a clear, unbiased mind.

 

When some chick pops out of the woodwork and accuses someone of sexual assault that happened in the fucking 80s it feels a lot more like a leftist witch hunt than a legitimate claim.

Irrelevant of what I think of the man himself, I do not find these accusations to be legitimate and absolutely despise the fact that unfounded accusations of ancient sexual assault can have such a significant impact on any man in any position.

 

What about when it's four women?

 

Irrelevant if the act in question did not happen fairly recently. They had all the time in the world to come out of the woodwork. Coming out now feels like 99% a political move and 1% an actual stand against abuse.

 

Your attitude is why it takes women decades to come out.

You are the problem, dude.

 

Lol, that's pretty dumb.

I'm advocating for the exact opposite. I want all women/men/children/exotic animals who have been abused in any way, share, or form to come out right fucking now and I want the people who diddled them to have to answer for their crimes.

What I don't want is for these people to conveniently wait until the most opportune political moment and then conveniently come out there and then.

 

Where are we going next week>> back to Russian collusion or Stormy.? Asking for a friend.

 

sexual abuse victims dont owe anyone an explanation for when or why they come forward.

I wouldn't want the guy who assaulted me to be appointed to such an important position, a position where he'll be making important legal decisions regarding women's lives. but i've never reported him. and I probably never will.
but he wouldn't deserve to sit on the Supreme Court, that's for sure.

 

I would agree with you if this were the case with all repub nominations. But it happened with this guy, and it really became also about his demeanor and not answering questions during his hearing that seemed to infer he was lying under oath. That should be relevant when considering a SC Judge.

 

Word.
