SCOTUS Thread (News and Discussion): Eight Becomes Nine

[Xno Kappa]

The narrative that she didn’t know where the party was is equally appalling from Graham. I had a case where the defense tried to argue this, but the victim was able to identify the room layout right down to the radiator. Yet she had no idea of the house itself or it’s location.

[Tyche]

critical thinking seems beyond most but you my dear Dotsu. but yes, if there was a photo of Kavanaugh groping an unconscious female i assure you he too would be pushed to withdraw.

i will say Republicans are even worse at confronting sexual abuse in their own ranks, the result of being overwhelmingly male and reactionary. but Dems are not good at it.

No one has been good at it. Especially makes over 50, which is still a majority of democratic lawmakers. It was the women that ultimately pushed franken out.

That's the one! She was married to Bob Beckel for what it's worth.

Found the clip

Amusingly enough its exactly what she did.

[TummieGaruda]

I'm actually surprised there isn't more of this. The first thing I thought when I first heard her voice in the opening statement was "oh great this is going to be another nonsense cycle about women's voices and countercycle about how women are unfairly judged for things men aren't" or whatever.

I never really noticed vocal fry until it was brought up in a segment on NPR well over a year ago...I notice it now but don't really care.

Yo man I don't know where half the parties I go to are even to this day, and I'm not always wasted either.

lol @ equating Franken's joke photo with Kavanaugh's sexual assault.

Franken resigning was a tragedy of justice.

i'll just say i've gotten drunk at a lot of house parties and i'd be fucked if i could remember where the house was or how i got there the majority of the time

lol @ equating Franken's joke photo with Kavanaugh's sexual assault.

Franken resigning was a tragedy of justice.

thank you for the demonstration

[Kalmado]

Question still stands.

I had a 40 of Red Dog when I was 16 and I was fucking destroyed.

[Tyrath]

thank you for the demonstration

I mean the pic was terrible but are we saying it was sexual assault?

It's the stuff he did with the other lady which was more questionable to me.

lol I imagine someone is about to lose their job.

Disappeared fast. lol

[Tyrath]

Disappeared fast. lol

What was it?

[Fiye]

What was it?

2 minute video of the person who voices Leia in Star Wars: Resistance making fun of Ms. Ford's voice.

[Mina]

Was one minute. It’s still playing on my phone.

[Xno Kappa]

I’d die laughing if Kavanaugh sticks to his virgin schtick lmao.

I mean. Franken is literally not touching her in the photo. And he (and the rest of us) called for an investigation from day 1. It was fine that he resigned since it was going to just hurt the party, but comparing Franken to Kavanaugh seems odd.

[Eurell]

2 minute video of the person who voices Leia in Star Wars: Resistance making fun of Ms. Ford's voice.

Yeah lol, she sounds like a 15 year old. Like something traumatic happened to her at that age or something.
Ha. Ha.

[Krazy]

I’d die laughing if Kavanaugh sticks to his virgin schtick lmao.

I hope that he claims he's still a virgin.

It's an insane argument because it's almost universally understood that traumatic events stand out in your memory big time. Otherwise PTSD wouldn't be, like, a thing.

[TummieGaruda]

Ha. Ha.

and she posted a tweet apologizing lol

I was by no means mocking a rape victim I am 100% on Christine Blasy Ford's side! I am just a vocal impressionist and decided to imitate her voice but it was a mistake. I apologize a and I believe ALl women.
