I pray Kav goes down in flames and then I hope his wife divorces him. I do find it very very strange that she is getting death threats and is in hiding. Don't believe it for a second. I think she walked away from him, because she knows it is true. Just my thoughts.

After boasting about holding a SCOTUS seat open for the duration of Obama’s final year in office, Mitch McConnell is now whining about the delay happening with Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Sorry, Mitch. You have no honor. You have no decency. And you sure as hell have no credibility.

Dean Baquet is a hero of mine and I also respect you immensely, Erik—but it is not accurate to say the Times “declined” to publish Ramirez’s story. Their reporter pursued Ramirez aggressively. She declined to participate because she was talking exclusively to the New Yorker.

They are far outnumbered by women, sane and proper men, social media and throw in a little Avenatti...go ahead and cuss and discuss. This is a cultural sea change...and the waves are coming in to get them. Tell me again what Congress' approval rating is?

From the guy who blatantly stole a seat from Obama and let it be known that had Hillary won they would have stonewalled her on appointing a Supreme all four years if they still had the House.

So go to Hell Mitch you freaking super hypocrite.

I expressed my OUTRAGE as a victim of sexual abuse and demanded an FBI investigation.

I HATE these Republicans. They are enabling ALL sexual predators by refusing to do a full FBI investigation and then smearing VICTIMS.

The vast majority of cases of rape and sexual assault cannot be corroborated as there are rarely witnesses and women are afraid to tell anyone for fear of being disbelieved or blamed. God forbid your attacker is someone famous or nominated to the Supreme Court, then you can expect to have your life and the lives of your entire family threatened.

It took me more than FIFTY years to tell anyone about my experience. I was a CHILD and these events have caused me to relive the shame, the helplessness, the fear that I felt at that time.


They can go straight to hell.

The Senate is a strange place where politicians go to get free airtime to speak to their base on TV. McConnell was trying to inflame the passions of Republican voters and keep them motivated to support Kavanaugh. If they lose interest, or begin to have suspicions that he, like Trump and Clarence Thomas, is just another sex pervert, it might by the straw that breaks the back of evangelical voters.
