I hope with every fiber in my being that the blowback suffered by the republican party does them in once and for all.
They do not see sexual assault as a crime. That is what must change and the only way that will happen is if every single one of them up for election is voted out of office.

(4,787 posts)Hatch was completely dismissive of them. Then one of the women released a photo of her bruised/swollen face, and he quickly back-tracked.
Disgusting.

(82,849 posts)I realize how tough the wealthy and the privileged have it when anyone, anywhere, that survives an encounter with them can then accuse them of the wrongdoing they perpetrated, Sen. Hatch. Tell you what: When you get your own planet for being a good Mormon,* you can institute any unaccountable patriarchy you want there.
Until then, on Earth, every now and then well-connected white guys occasionally have to answer for their crimes.
*Yes, Mormons believe that.

(10,154 posts)All females. The girls who visited with that boys prep school weren't poor or even middle class. Yet they are treated like replaceable receptacles, abused and humiliated. Just like the uber rich treat all women.
Trump treats his own daughters like sex objects and you got to wonder how Kavanaugh treats his girls.
The more I learn about the American uber rich, the more I'm glad I'm just plain old middle class and that my daughters had very little to do with them.

(15,035 posts)Time to stop while you still have a remnant of dignity.
Time to go home and reminisce over your past "victories."
Time to quit flinging shit in the face of the American people.
Orrin, I know you're retiring, but in the meantime, stop making a fool of yourself.

(1,660 posts)I'll never forget he was interviewed on CNN the day the video where Bill Clinton admitted to an "inappropriate relationship" with Monica Lewinsky was released. Before it was played Hatch was all "it'll be okay if the President just admitted what he's done." AFTER the video, Hatch was all red in the face talking about how outraged he was and that Clinton had to go.
Whatever, Orrin. Clearly you were lying through your ass before you saw the video. Two-faced bastard...

(33,310 posts)He'll die comfortable and rich in his bed, and be lauded by blood red Utah for his decades of service. He'll never suffer a moment of doubt or regret. He has Upstate Jesus and the Angel Moroni on his side.
When he's gone, Utah will send another sanctimonious Mormon asshole to do the exact same thing he did.
Such is our division, and such is the nature of Conservatism.
