So...I’d advise those not afraid of verbal swearing to go to YouTube and search “pulp fiction Kavanaugh”. You’re welcome

Some damn quick witted people out there to come up with this so quickly.
 
This whole this epic and funny!

this will escelate wether kav gets to the surpeme court or not. cant wait for the next justice to be nominated. this is far better then tv shows. tv that got infected with sjw politics.

people think why ford does not seem credibkle.

basiclaly the way democrats have said they will stop kav by any means neccesary. if kav gets bit by an alligator, mauled by a polar bear. or hell even struck by liighting. i would skeptically look at the democrats.


this whole process was ridiculous, i have seen kindergartners act more mature and civil!

Are you even paying attention to what you are responding to? The joke that started this was that Abe Lincoln was under investigation for sexual misconduct toward Ruth Bader Ginsberg? That could be that he made a suggestive comment. It doesn't have to be rape. The Obama joke was that his wife didn't go all the way down (sexual double entendre) on Ellen Degeneres. If you were Ellen would you appreciate the implication that because you are a lesbian, and even though you are in a committed relationship, it is okay for people to randomly go down on you? If you were Michelle Obama would you appreciate him suggesting that you were going down on someone outside of your marriage? Comments like that are called sexual harassment. They are the sorts of things that people get investigated and fired for when offense is taken. In this case, as far as I know, offense was not taken, but it certainly could have been. So in other words, I compared a joke about sexual harassment with a joke about sexual harassment, but there were obviously differences in the two jokes. My bad.

What allegations are deemed current and credible?
Just the Ford thing?
Who will be questioned?
Etc

The devil is in the details

Even if it is just the "Ford thing," there is a lot that can be investigated. It will be interesting to see how much they limit the investigation. It is still a small victory for women.
 
An interesting article about rape culture of the 1980s encapsulated by the movie "Sixteen Candles." (Side note: I hadn't ever seen this movie until a couple of years ago, and I found the whole thing disturbing and couldn't figure out why it was so beloved. This is why.)

https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/9/27/17906644/sixteen-candles-rape-culture-1980s-brett-kavanaugh

In a sworn declaration delivered through her lawyer Michael Avenatti, Julie Swetnick avowed that she witnessed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh drug girls at high school house parties where the girls were later “gang raped.” Swetnick further says that Kavanaugh was present at a party where she herself was drugged and raped, although she does not directly say that he participated in her rape.

In a statement released by the White House, Kavanaugh (who has denied all three allegations against him) called Swetnick’s statement “ridiculous” and “from the Twilight Zone.” His denial was widely echoed by supporters to whom the idea that such terrible things could happen on a routine basis, and that no one would do anything to stop them or even avoid the parties, seems absurd.

If a crime happened, this argument presumes, surely everyone involved would have recognized that it was terribly wrong and someone would have spoken up at the time.

But if there’s one thing we can take away from the popular culture of the 1980s, when the alleged events took place, it’s that a sexual assault at that time might not have been immediately clear as what it was, for participants and observers alike. Some of the most popular comedies of the ’80s are filled with supposedly hilarious sequences that portray what in 2018 would be unambiguously considered date rape.

As long as everybody involved is acquainted with each other, these movies tend to treat those rapes as harmless hijinks. They don’t really count. They’re funny — even in movies as sweet and romantic as Sixteen Candles.

"I've ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh's file," Trump said in a statement. "As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week."

Surprised Trump has ordered the investigation.. I guess he can be reasonable sometimes. Like that time he got one of the Ball brothers out of China.

If by reasonable you mean trying to mitigate the number of women voting against the Rs in November then sure.

Indeed. Reasonable would have been ordering one a week ago when these allegations first surfaced and an investigation was requested by Dr Ford. The only reason the investigation is happening now is because Kavanaugh doesn't have the votes without one, thanks to Flake and Murkowski.

This
 
So the FBI will investigate, the witnesses will say the same thing they did before because they wrote a sworn testimony in their letter to the Senate, and it will satisfy Flake (maybe) and Alaskan lady. It won’t change anything from the Democrats.

Woohoo!

Imagine how much time we could have saved had this gotten out right away. And save me the Feinstein was trying to keep it confidential. The lady, or her staff, leaked it...and then tried to blame it on Ford or her friends. Feinstein is without doubt an awful woman.

Do you speak for all women? Just curious.

I’ll be honest, all of the women in my life (mother, wife, grandmother, sister, mother-in-law, etc etc) think this whole thing is a farce. And at least one (that I know of) was sexually assaulted. I can assure you that they don’t find this a victory.
