Brett Kavanaugh - Interest & Discussion - Page 112 - Politics and Economics

Cue the GOP talking point machine: the 80s were a different time, Quaaludes were in vogue, what boy didn't drug and rape his high school classmates, have you ever seen Revenge of the Nerds

Simmer down. PGUK's post reads like not wanting to believe the world is as terrible as it is rather than rape apologetics.

Aventti did a good job with the affidavit, as she has the ability to provide additional details without contradicting her own words. It does not say she was unconscious, she claims to have been incapacitated and unable to fight off the attackers. She does not specifically claim Kav raped her. She did not specifically name her attackers, her witnesses or the other victims or boys she saw the same thing happen to. There is still plenty of canvas to paint in oral testimony.

i'm only going to chill out once this dumb mother****er stops throwing shade for absolutely no reason on every single accusation against kavanaugh, including the latest sworn deposition from a govt employee with numerous security clearances

like for real ive about had enough

you got a specific concern about her integrity or her claims? then present it, or shut the **** up because twisting yourself up to furrow an eyebrow at every accuser is decidedly not a good ****ing look

Avenatti proved the doubters (including myself) wrong. This woman seems 100% legit and she is very brave for coming forward given all the wackos out there.

Kavanaugh being basically an all-around terrible person, at least in his younger days, is not really up for dispute at this point.

Her statement directly states she saw Judge and Kavanaugh lining up to participate in gang rapes.

we need a second Mount Rushmore (think Mount Rushmore 2.0) with the following people etched in stone: Heyer, Avenatti, John Lewis, and Jackie Robinson.

Yeah that's the way I read it too, just giving her ****.

Meanwhile, yeah, "WTF were you doing going to rape parties, girl?!?" is gonna come up. But OTOH, Kavs cast himself as a complete choir boy in that Fox interview, it's pretty clear that even if he wasn't doing the raping he mysteriously and repeatedly found himself in close proximity to rape which is the opposite of the picture of himself he and his handlers have painted.

I still can't fist pump yet, this still sucks. Having a 5-4 majority on the scotus for decades to come is worth blowing everything up (losing both houses) for the right. They can just win back a chamber in the future. And the unfortuntate thing is that this might torpedo this asshat of a nomination, but even if dems take back the senate, they'll just confirm someone else during lame duck. That someone will most likely be MORE conservative.

Regardless of the hearing or what Rs do on Kavanaugh's nomination, Swetnick's charges seem like something that have to be investigated by local law enforcement. It came up earlier that there is no statute of limitation on rape in Maryland.

I assume all the PGUK defenders haven't been reading his work itt. Otherwise, you should be ashamed of yourselves. +rep is 100% right.

Yep. Not sure why Avenatti gets credit for this woman being willing to come forward. She is the story, not him.

And FWIW, I'm not loving the way the affidavit was written quite as much as some people are.

Fine, you're right, there's nobody that's going to vote any different.

Unfortunately, we end up in the same place that we're still going to lose scotus and have a 5-4 court for decades to come unless Dems nut up and do something outside of the normal playbook, which they've shown no desire to ever entertain. They're going to win both houses back and then say it's time to return to "normal order".

You're correct that whomever they run out there after Kavanaugh will rule similarly on similar cases, though, so I'd prefer a non-rapist.
