A third woman, Julie Swetnick, has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, in a document she has sent to the Senate - pretty convincing as she could face jail time if her document contains lies.

At this point, it looks like Brett "Bad Boy" Kavanaugh has more accusations against him every day. I would imagine that for their own political survival, his supporters will start to peel away as of now. I wonder who will be the last person to insist on defending Kavanaugh's nomination: Trump, Grassley or Anteater?

All I can say is I hope she enjoys jail after the high of being coached by Avenatti wears off. :rofl:

Apparently even The New York Times can't verify the latest accuser's story. That's actually fairly interesting to me (coming from a journalistic background). You'd think they could just make up a source if they wanted to. :thumb:

You're under 30, are a successful businessman, and make the kind of armchair political suppositions usually reserved for Rush Limbaugh while having "a journalistic background"? I'm gonna have to start being dubious about your life story.

I spent two years writing stuff for sites like PopMatters during college then spent some time with the Dallas Morning News for a year after college before going full-time into business development through some connections I made during that time. I've worn a lot of hats since my teens with different jobs. My degree was in Mass Communications with a minor in Digital Media. :)

^ Thank you, Anteater and than you Joe Biden. I think most observers are aware by now that an FBI report doesn't reach a conclusion or verdict, but nevertheless it does, afaik, assemble information from which a conclusion can be drawn. For JB to call a report "useless" because of those limitations is misleading. I don't suppose an FBI report has any jokes in it either, but that doesn't make it useless.

Sure, why not? They're taking responsibility for something that could get them thrown in jail for the rest of their lives. Lot more at stake for them than someone who has an unreliable memory and can just say later "well I THOUGHT it was Kavanaugh but maybe I was wrong. Oopsie11".

both ends of your argument are grossly exaggerated

Keith Ellison is a hardline Democrat and I'm not sure I believe the accuser in his case either.

You believe in a Democrat conspiracy to smear Kavanaugh but not one to smear the accuser? I mean if you just want to start making up **** in your own head you could say that Republicans found two ****ing crazy people and are holding them up, or maybe the Republicans are paying them off along with assurances that their names will remain confidential. If you want to get the right-wing conspiracy nerds rumbling all you have to do is introduce the idea and then never talk about it again as if the men's claims have been dismissed for whatever reason.

You're willing to do that for the other side at the drop of a hat. Why not here? I mean it took me all of thirty seconds to come up with that drivel. Imagine what drivel you could come up with in a full five minutes.

Oriphiel 09-27-2018 10:51 AM

Yeah, I find these "nah, I'm the rapist" counter claims to be suspicious as ****. The only time politicians ever confess to naughty **** like that is when someone with even worse dirt on them tells them to take the fall.

Lol what are you talking about. I'm not a conspiracy theorist: Neither side can corroborate anything in this particular case. You don't think the women are suspicious but two guys who will literally go to prison for the rest of their lives are moreso. Unlike those two bozos who claim to have been the gropers, rapists, whatever, these women who testify will walk out of this with zero consequences regardless of whether or not Kavanaugh wins out because memory is malleable and they can claim as much later on. They'll go back to their ordinary lives unless a future investigation somehow uncovers more substantial evidence that implicates them later on.

My theory holds more water than the other side: Kavanaugh was questioned for 32+ hours in multiple Senate hearings and asked thousands of questions by senators on both sides of the aisle, including Feinstein. And during this period, Feinstein KNEW Ford's identity and had the letter. That's why I take the position that some part of this was orchestrated whereas under normal circumstances the Democrats might have gone months and months more without saying a single word.

WWWP 09-27-2018 11:32 AM

Zero consequences lol

The "other" dudes story has already been blown up. Nice try GOP.

The Batlord 09-27-2018 11:45 AM

Yes, women are completely unaware that if they make accusations of sexual assault against a public figure that the immediate reaction will be to ensure that they are the Virgin Mary and woe be to any woman who ever wore a v-neck.

And it's called the statute of limitations, you dunce. Those guys ain't gettin' put nowhere.

Maryland doesn't have one I believe. But still, the story has already fallen apart. One of the dudes already denied the allegation and is even a friend of Fords and the guy who introduced her to Kavanaugh.

1. Not a bad career move long-term. Worked for some of Clinton's accusers. I smell some New York Times bestsellers in 2019. :clap:

2. Bill Cosby is crying puddin' pop tears right about now.

But what if the left hand sees how much fun the right hand is having? Does that fall within the statute of limitations?

It must be easy to be so frivolous about sexual assault and victims of trauma when you have (presumably) no personal experience with it.

Stepping away from this thread at least until after this hearing concludes. It's triggering af to be honest.
