Well, there you go. We haven't removed any president's either. Straw man argument you make.

You said there was no procedure, which is not true - Samuel Chase was removed.

Default For a psychologist, Ford is quite foolish at playing this mind game.

Stunts like Christine Ford's accusation and how the liberal team is playing it to muck up anything with the government are precisely what makes it so much harder for many women to have credibility or respect.

Thanks a lot, Christine Ford, Debra Katz, Lois Lerner, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi. You ought to be ashamed of how your blind ambition for greater political power has warped you. They exist in a state of moral idiocy.

Delaying a hearing simply tells the entire country that Ford and Katz are posturing with nothing but lies and political games.

The FBI requires a request from the WH to investigate, they don't just start an investigation of a justice on their own. There are many of these incidents that don't end up on the police record, that doesn't mean they don't occur.


She felt strongly enough to seek counseling so it appears something did happen.

1. only felony sex crimes have no time limit.
2. tough to file a police report when the location, date, and possibly even the year are all unclear.

Oh my, the real amateur hour of pseudo psychoanalysis. Prudish much?

Psst. Reliable sources tell that a young Brett Kavanuagh messed his diapers in public. Eventually, he got 'control' of himself. But, was the indiscretion an indicator of his lack of control, poor judgement, a deep seated character flaw, that should now disqualify him for the nation's high court.

Punnishly. Such crap the #metoo movement postulates.

But the fact that Kavanaugh went out of his way to bring that to light and BRAG about it proves one of two things maybe...
he still doesn't get why breaking the rules is not something cool for prep school boys to gang up and do and then brag about doing 20+ years later
And he really self-incriminated himself and his friend Mark Judge as friends who took a vow they honored not to reveal acts they committed while in school that were out of bounds...

He said it---Not putting words in his mouth...he is even on video from 2015 maybe
And I think his friend had similar comments in the two books he wrote about his drinking and "debauchery" behavior...

He thought he was a player...an entitled, preppy player...

Maybe he sobered up
Maybe he got religion and didn't harass the women secretaries and clerks he had working for him when he was in WH or as a judge...
But that doesn't mean he didn't do stupid, illegal things when he was a teen...

You are kidding again right?
'There are frigging 911 recordings of Ellison beating his partner and your not calling for his head?!?!?!

Here is a thought: Why not live a decent life and not take advantage of vulnerable people? If you make mistakes, own up to them. Don't just lie and say, "no way, I did anything like that." Just because we made some stupid mistakes in our youth does not mean you have to lie and cheat the rest of your life.

Gee, because a woman is older, she does not deserve to have the chance to be heard? Some women and men carry hurts around their whole lives, because some bully or brute took advantage of them. Sometimes it's their own family.

So here we go again. Women have been taken advantage of it seems like forever, in all races and cultures. It's about time women have a say in our society.

And her own alleged witness debunked her claim.
