        One of the hardest things to swallow about this Kavanaugh debacle- and thats saying a hell of a lot- is that the allegations, timing, and whole ordeal are apparently a COINCIDENCE! Yeah, It all magically came together this way. Just in time. Only morons believe this.

        Yeah it’s absolutely a “coincidence” that the woman Kavanagh tried to rape, who hid her pain for decades, finally revealed the truth when her would-be rapist was nominated for a life-long position that gives him the final say on every rape case in the United States 🙄

        the GOP has already set its verdict, and showed that hearing is irrelevant to its decision…they have scheduled the vote for tomorrow to push the «  accused sex predator » to the supreme court!…It’s a matter of balancing the « multiple accused sex offender » posing as POTUS...

        By only 1/3 of his accusers for one round, with only five minutes per senator to question.

        Hopefully this is Trump's Hurricane Katrina, his Gettysburg, or whatever. Time for the Rape-ublicans to be sent spinning down the toilet bowl of history.

        I mean let’s be real here. Trump’s Katrina wasn’t even Trump’s Katrina. He left 3,000 Puerto Ricans to die on their hurricane ravaged island so he could pour FEMA cash into his kiddie concentration camps, which of course ends up going back to him.

        True enough. But it's also true that the straw that breaks a camel's back is still just a straw. Gotta keep my fingers crossed.

        This is part of the Dems strategy developed 4 months ago to prevent Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The Dems are sick and disgusting.

        They planned it pretty well considering the detailed account she gave to her therapist decades ago.

        One of the records is from 2012, another is from 20 years ago. Same story. Ford mentions four at the party, two of whom attacked her. Gosh, wonder why the two in the room with her who tried to rape her have a different story?

        Anyway, seems an easy way to settle this. Have the FBI investigate the claims.

        Uh... yeah it is 😂 They do these sort of security and background checks all the time. And having a rapist on the Supreme Court is a security issue of national importance.
