The koo-koo bird Ms Ford didn't tell her story to anyone for 30 years. Not her parents, not her friends. Don't you think if a woman was sexually assaulted that she would at least have told a friend about it?You didn't report it, which means you put others in danger by failing get a rapist off the streets. Good job.
On the other hand, it probably didn't even happen. I have trouble believing it was attempted rape. You are just flattering yourself.
And you'll keep believing that until you hear the exact same story from someone you care about...a sister, a mother, a daughter. The #metoo movement didn't come from no where...
I don't believe we know if she told anyone else at the time of the incident. Maybe that's why the nomination should be delayed while an investigation takes place.
That should have started in July, don't you think?
Yeah, it should have but Republicans want to rush his appointment. Republicans have obviously known about this allegation a while or they wouldn't have had a binder full of women at the ready. Remember that Mitch McChinless warned the Oompa Loompa Oligarch not to nominate Bart O'Kavanagh to the SCOTUS because of his extensive paper trail. They thought they could hold back documents and rush his appointment and maybe get away with not properly vetting him.
Well, maybe it's time to slow down and properly vet him or pick a different candidate that doesn't believe a sitting president should be investigated for crimes they commit.
The opposition had this allegation in their back pocket since July. They said absolutely nothing during the hearings, which is when you're supposed to dig into these things. Only NOW are they complaining and wanting to postpone the vote (obviously hoping to prevent it altogether). Their timing stinks to high heaven. Why not bring it out in the hearings?
I believe they wanted to maximize damage and prevent actual investigation since the story is very well (very few details that can be objectively verified), which makes the whole thing a political ploy.
