West Virginia went like +42 for Trump in the election. It is now a solidly red state. The truth is much of the Rust Belt, with declining union influence is trending that way. Dems want to act like 2016 was an aberration; truth is the Blue Wall is crumbling.
Oh boy. You have no idea about the rage spreading across this nation, by women and their allies, do you?
Yeah, the GOP killed the unions. Result: dying middle class and rising poverty. Gotta hand it to the GOP: they sure know how to convince/romance people with nothing to lie down just a bit deeper in the dirt.
Of course they’re not credible, any more than Swetnick is credible. They’ve latched onto a news story. This is exactly why I think it’s incredible to claim women or survivors must be believed. People lie. They lie about stupid things. The police have to leave important details out of reports of murders so they can tell if someone claims they murdered people when they didn’t. Jackie at the University of Virginia lied. The woman who accused the Duke LaCrosse players lied. We’ve had so many false reports of hate crimes they have a website for it.
To say that someone should automatically be believed when the very cornerstone of our justice system is that the accuser has to prove their case, not the other way around, is a farce. I fear for these people to regain power. They should not be rewarded for this con job.
Great post. It amazes me, how many people presume guilt just because. No evidence, no facts, just political loyalty.
Women lie and men lie. People lie all the time. Politicians more than anyone. All those Democrats in office wringing their hands in despair over Ford were the same ones vilifying Bill Clinton's accusers. They are the same ones who supported Hillary who was perhaps the worst enabler ever. Now suddenly the victim should be believed? Now suddenly those democrats should be believed? Trusted?
If they can present real evidence and not just hear say from women with sketchy memories and no witnesses, I will be screaming jail that SOB.
There is no supporting evidence to prove or disprove her claims. There is no corroborating evidence, no physical evidence, and there are no witnesses. If we judge this on the evidence, the burden of proof is on her and the Democrats to prove something.
There's evidence and witnesses but the 'pubs won't allow them or allow an investigation - so THAT's why. How dumb do they think people are?
Kavanaugh totally lost it - several times. Such righteous indignation that he can't even talk about his drinking! He's clearly a problem drinker - why is he so flushed all the time? Oh - that's the righteous indignation.
He doesn't have the temperament required of ANY judge much less a Supreme Court Justice. There has to be dozens of better candidates out there for the court...the problem is that they wouldn't be as nice to Trump when his isht hits the fan! Talk about the Boy's Club!
Justices aren't supposed to be political - how much did Kavanaugh talk about the Clintons and the left wing conspiracy?...totally improper.

Such a rage that Trump defeated Hillary? I think you're the one who has no clue.

Stop acting like you are speaking for all women because you sure don't speak for this one.
Has anyone noticed this? He's born again politically. It's like he was under McCain's shadow. Today's speech at the Kavanaugh hearing was historic. Powerful and raw. I was never a fan before but am now
There's no mystery here.
He has been promised the Attorney General job, if he gives a pledge of loyalty to Trump, which he apparently has.
After the mid-terms (if the Dems don't take both houses): Sessions & Rosenstein are fired, Graham is AG (loyal to Trump, not the law). Rosenstein's replacement & Graham will cut off the Mueller investigation, or if completed, do what they can to prevent the public from knowing the results. If necessary, Trump will take the issues he's found guilty of to the Supreme Court, where there are two people who have pledged loyalty to Trump (not to the law).
That's the plan. Keep up! Things are moving fast, albeit under the table.
Graham's performance was despicable today. It was unprofessional, fake, unconscionable, disrespectful of the process. Everything in the country is devolving into ape-like behavior, because of the ape-like, vitriolic tone of the President. The President has historically been a role model, showing calmness in times of stress, a capable captain leading a steady ship. But not now.
Graham's performance (and that's what it was, a performance) will be shown in the future as an example of how the Republicans devolved into out of control hysteria for the perp instead of for the victim. He had the nerve to claim that Kavanaugh's life has been ruined? Poor thing...he is either going to the S.Ct. or to a Circuit Court as judge, and continu to live his elite, wealthy life, surrounded by his good ol' boy friends, and going to the country club every weekend.

He lost it? That isn't what I saw. Perhaps you have lost it?
Oh for crying out loud. Roe v. Wade is NOT going anywhere. Even if Kavanaugh is confirmed, he's one of nine justices, first of all. Second, he has stated that he has no intention of trying to get it overturned. Third, SCOTUS doesn't like to reverse itself. Not. Going. To. Happen.
$50 that the first. Supreme Court case having to do with abortion access or rights/women's reproductive health that Kavanaugh hears as a justice he votes to crimp Roe V Wade protection
I don't know how the case might be set up but I bet Kavanaugh votes to restrict/cutback/reduce the Roe v Wade umbrella
The conservative legislatures have been doing it for more than a decade
Cases like the Hobby Lobby one that got to the Supremes reduced a woman's right to access contraception and the morning after pill...
That restricted Roe v Wade protection just through a different access point...
Kavanaugh will vote for decisions that cut back on women's rights--
Because he is a staunch Catholic as much as being a strict constructionist...
