They're always riled up. The politics of grievance require that one LOSE not win. Victims vote; predators gloat. It's the women who will turn out in droves this fall.

Get out the Vote. That's what's been happening since 2010 when Conservatives....

2010 Took back the House
2012 Took Back the Senate
2016 Took back the Presidency
2018 Took back the SCOTUS

They did this without firing a shot and very little screaming.

Seems to me the people have spoken and voted.

Doubtful ....... BUT, it's both Legal and Effective to use Cold Anger and get thee to the ballot box.

These Leftist Rabid (whatever you choose to call them) have made sure that the FED-UP crowd is aware that there is No Trick that is too dirty for these Leftists.

Only one Remedy ....... Tell they AGAIN in November.
Democrats are Dangerous .... vote them out.

Be accountable, period.
I'm not saying anything like that. I'm saying if a woman is raped or assaulted, do everything you can to gather your courage and go to the police as soon as possible. I'm sure it's the hardest thing anyone could ever contemplate doing besides burying a child, but it is a duty in my opinion. Rapists are repeat offenders. We owe it to other women, men, boys, and girls to make sure that person gets marked for what they did (if they are proved to be guilty of course).

I understand children being manipulated to not tell, and being afraid to tell, but no woman or man should ever be too afraid to go to the police when they have an opportunity. It may not work out for you. They may tell you that there is not enough evidence to prosecute. They may tell you that the person you're going after is too powerful like they did to one victim of Bill Cosby, but there is a now a record of it. That woman had the last laugh because she not only made a report, she filed a civil suit against Cosby and got him to say some very incriminating things in a deposition. It's the thing that finally got him in trouble. So even though it seemed like it was pointless at the time, it really was a great move.

He can thank Lindsey Graham for going full jilted southern belle and firing the investigator that they requested, he was dead meat at that point but it changed the hearing. But here we are appointing a SCJ that claims there will be payback, very distinguished.
He had a justifiable reason for being angry. The left had accused him of a vile crime. His family was receiving threats. The democrat party as a whole were the ones driving it all.
We already have a SCJ who spoke out against the President. She later apologized, but hey she is a hard core leftists so it is acceptable right?

Why do you impose standards for those on the right that you ignore in your own?

Great post. Let them gloat but women were already riled up. Wait a few weeks and see how angry they are on election day.

BTW, this country really needs to discuss the issue more. Women's issues--we fought it out decades ago but obviously we didn't get it completely right. We need to talk about it more. And it's not pleasant but something has to change. Women are still afraid to come forward.

Maybe the FBI already heard enough of her crap via a hearing in front of the world.

Think the bible says something about we don't have to suffer fools.

Senator Kennedy just called Nancy Pelosi a billy-goat brain with a mockingbird mouth.

Congrats to almost confirmed Brett Kavanaugh and President Trump who was able to beat the entire Democratic machine with the help of some very great Republican Senators!

Yay!

Yes, we need to go back to teaching women how to fight back, protect themselves, go to the police. Instead we've taught women they're victims and make all sorts of excuses for them not to come forward.

And that’s the way the process should work. If you don’t like the way things are headed politically, then get out, vote and change it. But this crap of throwing out accusations you can’t prove and trying to ruin someone is disgusting.
