My younger cousin was in the same situation 15 years ago in college: attempted RAPE and she only got away after she kicked him in the balls, AND she had witnesses. I still remember my uncle going out with a machete and my aunt stopped him at the garage, begging/crying him to let the lawyers and cops handle it. (He really was gonna kill the bastard, being a 20-year vet)

That is why I NEVER believed this women like 10, 15 20 years later ALL OF A SUDDEN REMEMBERING they were “molested”. Just like Scott Baio said to his accuser “show me the police report”.

I'm so sick of the "gotcha" moments that have become an every day event in our government and journalism. And what really pisses me off about them is that they hide behind anonymity. Provide names and proof or the storylines should NEVER be told.

None of them should have any respect and ought to be laughed at and fired

[Jane Long]

Exactly!!

That’s why they’re fighting Trump so hard...they know he has the goods on these crooks.

Is Flake now a definite Yes vote? There was a story today that he is demanding a hearing for the little lady.

[andmy_]

Haaaaa.

Like never. LOL

[morphing libertarian]

I think it’s not always best for republican’s to try to out-democrat democrats. I take Grassley’s and my judgement over yours Sorry.

[fatima]

They usually have another just like the other.

They can have their call in private if they are serious BEFORE THURSDAY. No more opportunities to grandstand for TV cameras for Fartacus and the Ugandan Giant.

“I wonder if she had any comments on her twitter feed back in 2012 regarding Romney and Kavanaugh.

Too bad it can’t be checked since she scrubbed all her social media in the past weeks in preparation for her bombshell.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It would be so peachy if someone were to ‘leak’ her former comments - like maybe NSA or somethin..just sayin’

You want a good reason to show up and vote in November? This. This right here.

[backwoods-engineer]

If the Republicans fall for this abject stupidity, it really is time for a new party.

Oh, they will, and it is past time. They should not be rewarded for this in November.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

This alleged accuser has said she doesn’t want to be identified. At least according to Feinstein.So...non-story.

[backwoods-engineer]

It worked to get the evil Dems a senator in AL, so of course, they would set up another Fake Sexual Assault case to accuse the President’s Supreme Court nominee. Yep. And half of FR AGREED with the Demonrats about Moore. Probably 1/3 of FR wants to see Kavanaugh get knocked out, too. Place is eat up with infiltrators and Demonrats. Didn't used to be this way.

[backwoods-engineer]

If the new standard is conduct during adolescence, then the libs better be ready to die on that hill. Their body count will be huge.

No, you see, that standard is ONLY FOR REPUBLICANS. Demonrats get to diddle young interns in the White House, or make "waitress sandwiches" between Senate votes. Demonrats are NEVER held accountable. The Deep State ensures it. There is no justice left at the Federal level in this country.

[Aliska]

These incidents have happened all along I suppose but there's been a huge uptick of women coming out and men getting fired or resign. Or vehemently denying and prevailing.

I remembered the San Diego mayor who resigned under pressure a few years ago.

Flake is a Closet Democrat.

This is common knowledge. It doesn’t matter what he wants. He is quitting the Senate BECAUSE he is a closet Democrat posting as a Republican. And his Republican constituents were done with is fake act of being a Republican . So one cares what FAKE/Flake has to say about this topic, as he is a liar and refused to acknowledge that he was a closest Democrat. Arizona is done with him.

[Sam_Damon]

While we're at it -- let's ask about that DEM candidate for Attorney General who has domestic abuse allegations that resulted in 9-1-1 call records -- and, shucks, nothing was done about them!

Little press coverage! No caterwauling about how this looks when the number 2 man in the DEM party allegedly abused his girlfriend -- and she's traumatized by it! Oh, the humanity!

But this guy gets a pass because he's the *right* minority du jour -- and must continue in his job.

As long as good people fail to call out this hypocrisy, it will continue, only worse next time. And worse than that the time after. This sort of double-standard nonsense needs snuffed out NOW.

[BatGuano]

What is the difference between “Quite” and Quiet?

[backwoods-engineer]

Don’t think so. He’s done. The Demonrats have all the power. I wish it were not so, but we must admit it, so that this war can escalate to the next level. The Deep State/Media/Demonrat Axis must be destroyed, or all is lost.
