I do meet many women who kinda shrug and say, "Boys will be boys." Most of the triggered people seem to be in more trendy cosmopolitan urban areas and college age.

Are you seriously legitimizing sexual assault as acceptable societal behavior?

Since when did rape become "Boys will by boys"?

Can someone give me a TL;DW on what he said?

“Trump is awesome, Trump is smart, I’m good at deals, XYZ is horrible, nobody has seen anything like it before, but we’ll see what happens.”

Wow, that’s spot on.

It was in live in the office so I had exposure to the whole thing

Would that be when he was on Ken Starr's team investigating Bill Clinton?

Trump is trying as hard as he can to make sure Republicans get as close to 0% of the vote from college-educated voters as he possibly can.

It's anonymous, though, so won't get any traction.

Starr Report was released that September.

So it either was, or right afterwards, which isn't a great look obviously.

I don't see how Republicans could ask for a vote Friday and a full vote before October 1st with all this swirling around.

Kavanaugh's written statement to say he did things in high school he deeply regrets and cringes when thinking about it,

Yup.

It is hilarious how everyone involved with the Clinton impeachment is a massive hypocrite.

Why is this pseudoscience being treated as an important piece of evidence?

An unmonitored polygraph should never be used in court, but as a practical matter they are rather accurate when properly applied. I guarantee you the individuals doing this at the FBI, as much as people like to poop on them from both sides of the political Spectrum, are very very good.

But why does this even matter? As I previously pointed out it is nearly incomprehensible that Ford is lying about having been sexually assaulted as described. The only potential issue, theoretically, even if I don't buy it, is whether or not she may have missed identified her assailant as Kavanagh

[Badger]

I listened to Trump's press conference on the radio driving home. I started laughing so hard I had to pull over to the side of the road and gather myself. Oh my God, what a complete chump. Beyond deranged.

You've never read naso's posts?

It's been a while since I wish I never had, but he just keeps hitting new lows.

Rep. Walter Jones becomes the first Republican legislator to call for the FBI to investigate.

[libertpaulian]

If Kavanaugh somehow gets confirmed, I don't see Kagan, Sotomayor, and Ginsburg interacting with him much, even on a professional/collegial level.

Of course not, if it's real assault.

For example, "cat calling" is not "sexual assault". Repeatedly asking on dates is not "sexual assault". If some married dude lies to a girl and says he is single to get in another girls pants, then confesses he just used her for sex, that's not "sexual assault" if the sex was consensual.

Remember, the vast majority of men agree with me:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/10/26/survey-shows-how-uninformed-men-are-about-sexual-harassment/?utm_term=.05d2b78c3c4c

Per Oct 2017 Washington Post poll:
1 in 3 respondents don’t think catcalling is sexual harassment.
2 in 3 don’t think repeated unwanted invitations to drinks, dinner or dates is sexual harassment.
Nearly 1 in 5 don’t think sexual harassment is a fireable offense.

That's alot of head winds from men. To millions of men, rape is the stranger criminal in a ski-mask in a dark alley with a knife. Maybe the Cosby date rape drug stuff. In the absence of that, sexual assault isn't always what you lefties call sexual assault.

Good God, man. What happened to you as a child?
