Of course we don’t know if the allegations are true. What we can surmise is that the repubs are running scared about the midterm elections and they want to push this lying creep through.
Lester, would your guy Kavanaugh be willing to take a lie detector test with regards to the rape allegations ? We KNOW that he lies under oath, so this may be the only way to ascertain the truth. We do want to know the truth, don’t we ?
Hey, Mike. Did you take the time to talk about this strip with Bill Watterson before you did it? You know, as a courtesy? Folks using his intellectual property without permission really bugs him, you may have heard of that.
Remember, Scalia said that Torture is not prohibited by the constitution not because it is cruel or unusual, but because it isn’t punishment. Punishment is what you do to people after they have been convicted. Torture is what you do to people BEFORE they are convicted. In short it is not against the constitution to torture innocent people
It is now Sunday at 2pm and the news is stating that the woman who accused Kavanaugh has come forward, identified herself and has more information. Wonder where we’ll go from here.
Sure, you can come up with 60 women who say Kavanaugh didn’t bug them. That’s like saying Charles Manson and his “family” were not murderers because you can come up with 60 people whom they didn’t kill.
ONE last comment today. If you clowns are so unhappy, I suggest you get your arses out and vote. Instead of gnashing your teeth and wailing like you’ve been doing since November 2016. Who knows you might be right about how the election will go, but you need to vote.
Something that allegedly happened when they were both in high school? Really? Claims of sexual misdeeds need to be taken very seriously, but — yes indeed, people make false claims. The MeToo phenomenon has opened awareness and reset our norms of appropriate sexual behavior, but now it has become cancerous, with uncontrolled and unhealthy explosive growth of spurious accusations.

I’m not a Kavanaugh fan but this story seems like somebody is reaching.

I love Calvin and Hobbes cameos and all, but here? Are things that bad that they have to show up here?

Allegations of attempted rape are hardly laughing matters Lester. Just how much do the Repugs pay you anyway?
Stephen Runnels Premium Member over 5 years ago
True or not, the most appalling part of this is Republicans like Lester actually minimizing assault and rape.

Mike is hard-wired to the attributes that are currently acceptable to the GOP, it seems.

Dems need to get Begala back in the act. Between Harris, Spartacus and Feinstein, this has turned into amateur hour.
Now Begala. There’s an operative who can engineer a smear job. I miss the Clinton years.

It is about time the Democrats read the Republican play book. Sorry Mike turn about is fair play in love and politics.

What Kavanaugh is accused of is a lot more serious than throwing a water ballon, Mikey.
At least, it is to those of us who don’t excuse or normalize sexual assault.

When someone shows you they really don’t think there’s a problem:

1) Sadly, Lester treats a serious allegation as a very trivial matter. 2) Then he “borrows” from Bill Watterson.
