President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Waving your junk in front of someone’s face > stealing someone’s building blocks.

 

Lying about waving your junk in front of soneone’s Face when you want to sit in judgment of justice is disqualifying.

 

The reality is most women have a #MeToo experience.

 

HanSense, Melock, just when I want a quiet week to read a book all hell breaks loose.
Avenatti says he has a separate accuser.

 

But ... but ... it's Infrastructure Week!

 

You think a man, without consent, waving his dick in the face of a woman who recoils in disgust is the same as a woman choosing to expose her breasts to a crowd of men encouraging her to do so?

 

CNN has a story today about how there has only been one daily press briefing this month by SHS. I doubt there will be any more now

 

In regards to Kavanaugh, the flat out, emphatic denials are everything. If there's concrete proof that either of these incidents have occurred then he needs to step aside or the nomination withdrawn, because his credibility is destroyed. As always, it's not the act itself but the cover up.
The Ford allegation still seems sketchy and weird. Almost catfishing on some level. They've made serious accusations of horny teenage groping, have largely declined to offer a shred of hard evidence -- even the letter that started it all -- and are trying to rig the hearing that might prove it. All on the idea that the accusation, no matter how questionable or old, is enough. That is frightening on so many levels I can't even list them all.
This new allegation is believable on the surface. Kavanaugh sounds like he was your typical drunken frat boy in his late high school/early college years. I knew guys who would do shit like that in college -- not maliciously, but because they thought it'd be funny. It was obviously stupid and crossed a social boundary, but not a criminal one. It's the kind of story you talk and laugh about at class reunions 35 years later, not one you testify before Congress about.
Again, that that is the sort of thing that can forever follow you and disqualify you for high public office is frightening. Frankly, it pisses me off and really makes me want to dig into the young lives of these people holding themselves up as some paragon of virtue, because I guaran-damn-tee you they did some stupid shit at parties when they were in college. A lot of them (including the last two Democrat presidents) have admitted to drug use in college. So why wasn't that held against them the way this is against Kavanaugh?

Which is what this boils down to. Maybe the first incident did or didn't happen, or was just a case of misunderstanding on how far each side wanted it to go. And the second sounds like drunken college kid antics that any one of us could have done on a lark at one time or another. Both of them seem to be getting blown out of proportion.
However, Kavanaugh's flat denials that they didn't happen at all, that he wasn't even at the parties in question, are now the issue. If it's provable that he was even in the same house when these things happened, then he's a liar and his credibility is shot and he needs to be bounced from this farce.

 

Good point, especially after all of the similar allegations against Kagan, Sotomayor, Gorsuch. Things are getting out of hand.

 

They're both stupid college antics, so yes.
You need a ladder to get down from that high horse you're on, or can you manage on your own?

 

They are fundamentally different in many, many ways. You want them to be the same, but they are not.

 

Now THAT, I actually agree with.
