One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
I was going to say WTF! They didn't do anything that justify charges.
Id accept that bet too
Now you want to mince words with me lol
ALL FALSE RAPE CLAIMS ARE WEAPONIZED RAPE ACCUSATIONS
Your hypothesis was weaponizing false rape accusations doesnt work. But the long list of convictions say otherwise.
No it wasn't.
It would be retarded to say that false rape accusations don't work at all, maybe you misread or can only think of things in black/white.
What I said was "False rape accusations cannot be easily weaponized successfully."
They might work here and there, but overall they do not (http://webarchive.nationalarchives..../www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs05/hors293.pdf pg 47). Most false accusations don't get far because the accuser isn't credible.
I was responding to someone who we should rally behind Kavanaugh because it sets a bad precedent that will affect other men in the future as rape claims will be weaponized. This is consistent with other arguments I've heard and seems to be based on this fear that we're going towards a society where a woman can just scream rape and it's over for the man. That if you're a successful man all someone has to do is accuse you of rape and your success will be taken away. Bullshyt. This is irrational and not based on facts. It's an argument that people who hate women make, so it's no surprise Trump was also saying it.
If someone falsely accuses you of rape it's far more likely that their claim will be thrown out than you ever seeing punishment. A lot of actual rape victims can't get justice but I'm supposed to be afraid of someone making up complete lies about me?

A reality is a LOT of men have done something like this....I surely haven't. But, I have witnessed or been present to similar things, or known about them later, esp. in high school. These are just realities for the world we inhabit. It is something I am ashamed of. It makes me look at friends different, and I have severed and dulled ties, in part, due to these things. I really thought about writing an op ed about it all. I knew it was wrong, I just didn't know what to do, or why it was wrong. I thought that was how things were, and I wasn't really wrong in that sense.
So many men, are terrified, if they condemn another, for something they have done, it is like accepting their own guilt. And for women, I think one factor, is MANY women have had something like that happen, or again, been around it, it makes them a victim, which they refuse to be, and it makes them culpable for what they didn't do, or didn't protect, even if only in they're own mind.

donnelly is voting no
i think heitkamp will vote no too
manchin i think will vote like collins, murkowski, flake
In regards to where I encountered these folks? Nah. Prospect Heights. Regular older Hispanic folks who live all over the city. Mainly dudes but also 2 women.
I hope Flake is not getting the hero treatment in this thread.
Him calling for a one week investigation is nothing.
If he truly wanted to stop this, he could have simply voted no in the committee and kept this judge from having any type of a chance.
This sounds like a republican chess move of voting him out of committee, calling for a quick investigation, having the results of the investigation already pre-written, and then voting him in as the next Supreme Court Justice.

Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
At this point Collins might as well vote no given she's more than likely going to lose in 2020, whether it's in the primary to someone more conservative or in the general when Trump is up for reelection.

RIP Champ
Yup

They are playing the hand they have not the one so many here want them to have.
They have to be smart with all they do or don't do. If Avanetti is wilding out he's in a position to do so.
Some of you approach politics the way a child would. A spoiled child. The Dems are the minority on the hill. But they'll show you all in the coming months.
The dap fishing in hl related to dissing the Dems no matter what they do is disgusting. And the one I quoted stayyyys on that crap.
