It is easy to see when pictures are taken out of character. Unfortunately these pictures are very much in character for these characters. I think that's what tends to make the difference in the court of opinion...

Bill Clinton was obviously a sexual predator. But Democrats never cared about that. He was their alpha male.

At least Bill Clinton turned out to be a good President for the U.S. economy. Have to give him credit for that.

Her couple's counseling was related to her sex life with her husband. I've wondered if she was molested by a relative or family friend when she was young but it was too traumatic to consciously acknowledge. So she created this incident in her head. After all, her own 'witnesses' basically called her a liar. So it makes sense if she was molested as a child she would avoid sex as much as possible

There is also information out there that she had a troubled school life so her parents either shipped her to California or they all moved. What happened? Was she binge drinking as her yearbook seemed to indicate? Hanging out with the wrong crowd? Going to parties with older boys?
.
After Kavanaugh is confirmed I bet more info will come out because people will feel safe to speak. Would anyone be shocked if she announced she was a lesbian? Stranger things have happened.
I wondered exactly the same thing: CBF is a woman who has clearly been emotionally damaged - particularly given her Valley Girl speech, medicated demeanor, Munchkin expressions, and her ability to turn her emotions on/off like a light switch. This type of emotional damage to women usually are the result of a traumatic event/events experienced in their youth as a girl.

But no one questioned her about other traumatic events that may have contributed to her mental state, especially regarding her relationships with men (principally her father, husband, father figures, other boyfriends, etc).

And no one questioned her history of mental health (psychological trauma, therapies, medications, etc.).

My take is that she truly believes her allegations. However, this may have been a series of fantasies created during her therapy sessions, and now she firmly believes them to the extent that she could pass a lie detector. But so have people with tales of alien abduction.

I get that a victim fears humiliation or that they will be deemed a liar if they come forward. Another to consider is this: the longer the victim waits to come forward to law enforcement, the longer the perp can continue their attacks. So, not reporting ASAP almost seems selfish to me because that victim might not be thinking about the other victims or potential victims.

do you hate women that much???
Can you please provide a source? I never heard of over half of them and have no idea who they are. Thanks.

I believe some of the stories of some of them. The rest I've never heard of.

Never believed Broadderick due to her ever-changing story and affidavit. Paula Jones is a skanky liar, who was backed by a rightwing group.

I do believe:

Jessica Leeds|Kristin Anderson|Jill Harth|Kathy Heller|Temple McDowell|Karena Virginia|Bridget Sullivan|Tasha Dixon|Mindy McGillivray|Rachel Crooks|Natasha Stoynoff|Jennifer Murphy|Jessica Drake|Ninni Laaksonen|Summer Zervos|Cassandra Serles|Stormy Daniels|Karen McDaniels

Do you? Or do you hate women?

Libs on here can’t defend this obvious double standard and shows their fake outrage for what it is.

If you think women aren't paying attention to this, you are out of touch. Millions of women let their voices be heard after the ***** grabber was put in the White House. Those women haven't just gone away in the last two years.

I'm fine with the GOP moving forward on this. They are hastening their own demise.

I'm starting to look forward to your posts as much as I_Love_Autumn's... equally as entertaining !

1 the Rethugs are openly trying to place a hyper partisan judge to the SCOTUS

2 Republicans STOLE Obama's pick for the SCOTUS

3 Mitch declared he would block Hillary (if elected) from ever filling a seat on the SCOTUS (even if it took 4 years)


Those 3 things right there mean all bets are off and the Democratic party is free to do all those things and more.
The Republicans have shown they no longer care about the US as a nation, instead allthey care about their individual and collective power and egregious sectarianism. As such liberals are free to completely change the face and structure of the SCOTUS in order to balance the SCOTUS as it is intended to be.
