There was a way to find out who was telling the truth, a comprehensive FBI investigation. Clearly the Republicans did not care. They just wanted to ram their candidate through along with something like 50 other conservative appointments to the courts at all levels. Their goal is to eliminate the last obstacle to controlling our government. This is how dictatorships come about most of the time. Then they can cram whatever they want down the throats of the people.
Only 1/3 of assaults are ever reported. There are a VERY small number of false accusations, yet there are several comments here willing to dismiss any accusation based on the minimal false charges. As far as L’IL comment about men wrongfully convicted is concerned, look at the record of police getting false convictions rather than blaming the accusers.
There are many other accusations against Kavanaugh, and many people tried to get the FBI to listen to the truth about his drinking and temperament. But that was blocked by Trump who now lies and says Kavanaugh is “proven innocent”.
chev using Emmett Till as an example to defend Kavanugh is beyond belief.
This one is not as astute as most of your works, Mr. Lester, as the young man(?) could be taken as mocking sexual assault, but the “I believe Tawana Brawley” sign is incisively spot-on AND funny. Congratulations!
Ah, yes; Tawana Brawley. So it’s not important that thousands of women are sexually harassed, abused, and raped every day. We have one woman who lied about it 30 years ago so that pretty much evens things out.
Because speaking loudly should be illegal? Speaking loudly with your voice is harassment but screaming loudly with your corporate checkbook is Free Speech.
I see. Concern about sexual assault is nothing to do with concern sexual assault, just publicity and sex. What pathetic excuses you make for yourself, Mike.
Well, I knew that the right doesn’t believe that the left actually exists and believes what we say, like treating people equally and cooperating for the common good. No, to them we are a twisted, evil, lying conspiracy to destroy all that is good and true, as Kavanaugh ranted in his confirmation hearing.
I certainly believe the right when it says that it believes in fear, hatred, and oppression, and sets out its plans to destroy all that is good and true.

The caricature of Laura Loomer is spot on, but you have her politics backwards, Mr Lester

The premise seems to be that if one woman lies, then they all do.

J, the fact Kavanaugh lied to congress, and was a terrible choice did not matter to GOP and americans.

Next, Mr Lester will claim that Kavanaugh’s “life has been ruined!”
[ Perhaps he should have “stayed at Georgetown Prep!” ]
