No matter what the outcome, this circus sets up quite the precedent for the future. If a major nomination such as this can be side-tracked by a he say/she say story from 30 years ago, all the opposing party needs to do from now on when things don’t go their way is to scream one of today’s jack-of-all-trade insults (#Metoo, racist, facist, rapist) and find someone, somewhere, who is willing to ‘‘swear’’ that that is the case. So sad.
Guilty or not, he’s no one I want to see become SCOTUS. Ain’t no way in hell I’m alright with electing some guy who’s going to cry on national TV like this.
lol, i mean after reading the 3 accusations. it doesnt sound like complete rape, but its still pretty bad if the other person was not a fan. i mean even on a lot of dating sites you get dudes sending unwanted dick pics to test tje waters. its pretty common behavior. lol this dude definitely did it.
She said that, while his friend Mark Judge watched, Kavanaugh, intoxicated, held her down on a bed with his body, grinding against and groping her, covering her mouth when she tried to scream and trying to pull her clothes off.[31][32] Finding it hard to breathe, she thought Kavanaugh was accidentally (her emphasis) going to kill her.[4] She recounted escaping when Judge jumped on them both and they all fell.[6]
“I observed Brett Kavanaugh drink excessively at many of these parties and engage in abusive and highly physically aggressive behavior toward girls,” Swetnick writes in the declaration, “including pressing girls against him without their consent, ‘grinding’ against girls, and attempting to remove or shift girls’ clothing to expose private body parts.”
Swetnick alleges in her declaration to the committee that she “became aware of efforts” by Kavanaugh and Judge and others to spike drinks at parties with drugs or grain alcohol in order to cause girls to lose their inhibitions and their ability to say, “No.”
The declaration also includes an allegation that she was raped at a party in 1982 by multiple boys while she was incapacitated and unable to consent.
Swetnick does not identify the alleged perpetrators or the location but claims that the party was attended by Kavanaugh and Judge. She does not contend that either Kavanaugh or Judge were among her alleged assailants.
lol im not even siding with him. i dont give a shit if he is appointed or not. im saying the accusations are very likely legit. and that people should decide based on thier values.
anyways theres a ton of gray area and it very likely due to a huge misunderstanding. couple that with how long its been. most people dont remmeber things quite well and sometimes literally change events based on how they retell it.
Record Scratch!?!?!?! Their is no statute of limitations and Kavanaugh could have been investigated and charged at any time? Yet no charge has been filed?!?!?! No contact from police?!???!?!
Lindsay Graham just avoided the firing squad. He’s a fan of twinks. This performance just saved him from public lynching. He’ll fade quietly into irrelevance in a few years.
