Ja, let's reign it in.

Personally I believe her, but I think that the revelation of her letter was heavily politicized and a dirty move. I doubt that he furthered that behaviour but it no less remains a part of his past.

[MERIT] 09-23-2018 03:11 PM

Okay. You all think I'm horrible. You haven't lived my life. If you want to make a show of it, then by all means, be my guest.

Yeah, I completely agree except with believing her because I don't really know much about it nor have I looked into it. It's unimportant to me because I know that whether or not it happened it's just going to be another tool used by the dems to try and gain power back rather than turn into a discussion of sexual assault.

And that should be the true focus of this. I remember there was a time when every other girl I talked to had a story about sexual assault and I thought it was just a Magna thing. Nope. Happens all too often.

Doesn't matter. Youre just a piece of **** and I hope people that listen to you realize that and punch you in the face.

"After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away."

Quote:

Ramirez, who was raised a devout Catholic, in Connecticut, said that she was shaken. “I wasn’t going to touch a penis until I was married"
"The New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party."

Avenatti Implicates Kavanaugh in Pattern of Sexual Assault

Quote:

Avenatti writes that Kavanaugh, his childhood friend Mark Judge, and others “would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs in order to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.”

Michael Avenatti grandstanding without any proof? He's definitely never done anything like that before.

I found myself liking and agreeing with Carlson with each successive year. This is coming from someone raised in a super-left household.

Yes. Political affiliation is mental illness in itself.

Compared to his peers Carlson is stellar, but that bar's so low that it's subterranean. As a journalist, philosopher, or logical human being, he's total garbage.

And centrism often comes with a side of USI. Everybody loses.

Personally I think that Carlson's pinning of problems on simply "the left" as opposed to specific groups is kind of counter-intuitive, but he still highlights problems his contemporaries don't, and does it in a more measured fashion at that.

University of Southern Indiana?

Not choosing corny conventional political ideologies =/= centrism

If anything, I'm an unchartedist.

windsock 09-25-2018 03:59 PM

I don't know if I want to go down this rabbit hole. I know MB is a bit of a breeding ground for argumentation but I'd rather not join in quite yet. I haven't even been here for a month, man.

Also, USI = unwarranted self importance

When it comes to drama, I prefer to let others throw the first Oliver Stone.

Kind of sounds like a symptom of any firm political identity.

I get what you mean. In my mind, I'm the king of England. 19th century, that is.

Same prospect goes for for apoliticality. Though I'll admit I misspoke.

Weren't they still using slaves at that time? Sickening!

The Batlord 09-25-2018 04:11 PM

Didn't they outlaw it before us at least? That's gotta count for something.
