As John Belushi might say....
This is fucking unbelievable. They nominated a rapist to the Supreme Court so he could vote in one case.
Thats all the Orange-u-tang wants or needs, besides hair spray

(4,515 posts)In other words, he would have if he could have.
john657
(1,058 posts)all it is, at this point" is an allegation.
JenniferJuniper
(4,515 posts)It's a job interview. For a really, really big job. The background check needs to be completed.
Do agree with this? If not, can you explain why?
john657
(1,058 posts)FBI can't investigate this allegation, it isn't a federal crime, it's a state crime, the state of Maryland would have to initiate the investigation, and the FBI cannot re-open the BGC without the WH directing them to do so.
Just about every active and former FBI agents have validated this.
JenniferJuniper
(4,515 posts)duly noted.
Not sure why you are so worried about the piece of shit, but it is noted nevertheless.
john657
(1,058 posts)I have said numerous times that he isn't qualified to be confirmed due to numerous reasons, like lying to congress under oath, that's a pretty big one.
So because you can't refute what I posted, you attack me?
JenniferJuniper
(4,515 posts)militantly defending Kavanaugh.
Care to share why?
john657
(1,058 posts)otherwise stop with the untrue attacks.
JenniferJuniper
(4,515 posts)You've been defending Kavanaugh out here for days and this is very easily verifiable.
Maybe you'd feel more at home over with the Freep peeps?
john657
(1,058 posts)attack.
So predictable.
Can't cite any posts where I defend Kavanaugh so you pull out the old and tired meme.
Pathetic.
Le Gaucher
(1,547 posts)Seriously?
He attempted to rape her and scarred her for life.
john657
(1,058 posts)I'm stating facts, not even Dr. Ford is claiming he raped her.
Le Gaucher
(1,547 posts)And whats is wrong with that.
We are all well aware that what he did..doesnt meet the technical definition of Rape.
We get it.
john657
(1,058 posts)that he's guilty or innocent of what is alleged.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I still believe in the concept of the presumption of innocence.
Apparently many, if not most don't believe in this American value.
Soo sad.
Note: There is a HUGE difference between sexual assault and rape and if you're aware of the difference, then why call him a rapist?

Solly Mack
(90,790 posts)Sexual Assault is the umbrella term of which rape falls under.
No huge difference at all, since rape is sexual assault.
john657
(1,058 posts)but my point is that Kavanaugh is not a rapist, not even Dr. Ford is saying that he raped her.
Solly Mack
(90,790 posts)Only rapists attempt to rape. The attempt alone makes a person a rapist.
john657
(1,058 posts)this is only an allegation.

(1,058 posts)OliverQ
(3,363 posts)Holding her down, covering her mouth, and playing loud music so no one can hear her scream is attempted rape. If he used a weapon or trying to strangle/suffocate her, or if he had help (his friend supposedly in the room), it's First degree attempted rape which carries a possible life sentence.
Otherwise it's 2nd degree attempted rape which is up to 20 years.
john657
(1,058 posts)I wonder why she hasn't filed a complaint yet?
torius
(1,652 posts)But if they see their attacker is gaining Hi social position they understandably get very angry. She wants to stop her attacker from gaining the power to control the bodies of women all over the country. She is answering the call, doing her patriotic duty for all Americans at great expense to herself. She has nothing to gain from this. For him, at worst, he will end up in the same job he started in. If not appointed to the SC, now hes a celebrity/martyr of the Deplorables and can get some plum Fox News sinecure.
JenniferJuniper
(4,515 posts).....or is it?
john657
(1,058 posts)Just where do you come up with this nonsense?
What? You can't refute my facts so you attack me?
That sounds more like what a juvenile would do.
PCIntern
(25,601 posts)It has not been proven either way so Im keeping my mind open. Some people think you are some dont.
Jury is out
john657
(1,058 posts)that Kavanaugh is not qualified to confirmed to the SC because of several issues, lying under oath to congress, his stance on women's rights, his stand on Roe v Wade, etc.
I have no idea why some think I'm an alleged troll, I guess it's because of my low post count.
At first, the only reason I originally joined up was to let DU know that one of their members, my Army comrade, GGJohn, had passed away after a year long fight with cancer, I stayed silent for about 9 months afterwards, only recently have I become more active on DU, but if this is how those of us with low post counts are treated, then maybe I should just leave and let y'all keep on keeping on.
You have a great night and a great coming weekend.
