Oh the horror, the horror.
Get back, Loretta.
What if this was Kavanaugh’s grandfather?
Dig him up. Tho only way to be sure.../s
#doublefacepalm
Oh the horror, the horror.
No chance. It was Kavanaugh, himself! If he says it wasn't him, make him prove it beyond a cosmic and science fiction doubt.
I was thinking that this could go back to a Kennedy.
Oh, me too,meto, meto, meto...look at meeeee.
What bullshit.
She’s a Massachusetts (ptui-ptui) dimbulbcrat, I believe.
You know, the state that breeds Kennedy woman killers, Kerry woman boinkers to purchase senatorships, and fauxahauntis dimbulbs.
Ergo, we do not believe her.
and what if it was a normal right passage through adolescence?
what if boys could be boys and girls could be girls?
Sure there have been forced situations where people have crossed the line.
liquor can do that.
And then again, in the absence of liquor, many a ugly, miserable woman would have never had children.
Did Dr. Ford have any children???
“Guess what, granny - sh!t happens. GTF over it.”
(Direct quote from my 70 year old Missus.)
Millions of home burglaries have occurred in the last decade.
So a new Jersey lawmaker thinks if anyone is accused of burglary, they are guilty because burglaries happen?
If this woman is a “lawmaker”, small wonder the world is such a mess.
Hard to believe that the Monty Python “Blackmail” game show sketch in that way predicted all of this nonsense of late.
Was it on horseback?
I don’t believe her, and even if it’s true, I don’t care if she was groped and kissed.
Who gives a sh*t?
Gloria Steinem on her Bill Clinton essay: ‘I wouldn’t write the same thing now’ (Thu 30 Nov 2017)
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/nov/30/gloria-steinem-on-her-bill-clinton-essay-i-wouldnt-write-the-same-thing-now
The feminist icon spoke to the Guardian about her 1998 op-ed, which drew criticism: ‘what you write in one decade you don’t necessarily write in the next’
...But Steinem said she did not regret writing the New York Times article in the first place...
...At the time of her letter, former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones was suing Clinton for sexual harassment, and Kathleen Willey had just given an interview to 60 Minutes about Clinton making an unwanted sexual advance.
Clinton, Willey claimed, kissed her on the mouth during a private meeting to discuss job opportunities. She pushed back away from him, she claimed, and he touched her breasts and placed her hand on his erect penis.
The gravest allegation came one year later, when former campaign volunteer Juanita Broaddrick accused Clinton of rape. Clinton has always denied non-consensual sexual contact.
Steinem’s op-ed has been held up as a prime example of how Democrats and their allies reflexively rallied to Clinton’s defense, an argument made most forcefully by the writer Caitlin Flanagan in the Atlantic.
“It slut-shamed, victim-blamed and age-shamed; it urged compassion for and gratitude to the man the women accused,” Flanagan . “The notorious 1998 New York Times op-ed by Gloria Steinem must surely stand as one of the most regretted public actions of her life....”
...Jones claimed Clinton in his role as Arkansas’s governor summoned her to his hotel room, where he touched her, tried to kiss her, dropped his pants and asked for oral sex.
A judge later dismissed Jones’s case, saying Clinton’s alleged behavior, while “boorish and offensive”, did not meet the legal definition of sexual harassment...
...it was a near sighted basset hound that smelt fish...
I seriously doubt Weinberg wouldn’t have mentioned this at some point before. She is a rabid anti gun politician and probably has nightmares about another pro 2nd Amendment justice getting in the court. This is her way of saying “hey believe Ford cause I kept that secret too”
My wife was as well.
This stuff literally happens all the time.
BUT, this is not what allegedly happened to Ford. They were both minors, and it sounded more like drunken fumbling than an assault.
Older family friends (and family) accost kids all the time. They should be flogged. My wife told her mother and her mother said she would take care of it. She did. But they never told her Dad, who would have beaten the guy to death with a bat.
I know I would have put a beating onto any adult friend or relative who touched my girls.
Ford doesn’t remember many details of this “horrific” event.
Well, I’m not even personally connected to the Kennedys, but - like millions of others - I remember exactly where I was, and who I was with, the day he got killed.
Same with 9/11.
If my kid went to the school where Ford teaches, I’d request that s/he drop out of that class.
