(10,952 posts)Her statement is very detailed about what happened and laying our her own credentials at the beginning. If the Rethugs push through Kavanaugh's nomination they will forever own that GOP stand for Guarding of Perverts. November might not be just a blood bath, it might become a slaughter at the polls.

(16,130 posts)the depth of depravity of Republicans in the Senate.
They have been emboldened by their Dear Orange Leader to be the very worst versions of themselves.
They have no ethics, no morals, no ability to discern what is right and what is wrong. All they know is that rich white (and orange) men must get what they want and their job is to deliver that.

(19,140 posts)This is a woman has been granted security clearance several times in her work for the government. She's worked for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, and the Department of Justice. Swetnick has degrees from Montgomery College and the University of Maryland in astrophysics and computer science. She's quite credible and has given a sworn statement under risk of being charged if she's perjured herself.

(10,952 posts)is that she talks about being really careful around them about what she drank because she knew that they tried to drug girls. Rethugs can't claim that she was a drunk.
