You may have heard by now that Donald Trump‘s pick for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, has been accused of sexual assault.
Last weekend, just days after Kavanaugh had finished giving his testimony before the Senate, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford of California came forward to accuse the judge of sexually assaulting her at a house party back in high school.
“Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school in the early 1980s,” Ford states in a letter sent to Sen. Diane Feinstein and later published by CNN. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”
Ford detailed the attack in graphic detail and said she was only able to escape after Kavanaugh’s classmate from Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, jumped on top of them, allowing her to lock herself in a bathroom and eventually escape the house.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The assault occurred in a suburban Maryland area home at a gathering that included me and four others. Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stair well from the living room. They locked the door and played loud music precluding any successful attempt to yell for help.
In response to the accusations, 53-year-old Kavanaugh quickly issued a statement denying everything: “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.”
His Republican sympathizers followed that up by releasing a letter signed by 65 women who claim they knew Kavanaugh very well in high school and not once did he ever try to rape them.
Maybe your pick for SCOTUS isn't so ideal when you knew you had to get statements of 65 women who *weren't* raped by Brett Kavanaugh before anyone even mentioned that he might be a sexual predator . . . https://t.co/xsApOILGw5

Republicans had hoped to hold a full vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation by September 20. Yesterday, they announced the vote will be delayed until both Ford and Kavanaugh can testify in an open forum.
And now, the memes…

It’s amazing how the mere mention of rape, everyone believes it. Whatever happened to due process? Innocent until proven guilty?

Professor Ford agrees with you and she has asked for an investigation before she testifies to the Senate.

She’s hoping the investigation will give her something to retcon her vague non-accusation onto so she can stop contradicting herself so much. She might even decide what YEAR this occurred in. THRILLING!
The left has taken us back to the day-care sex-abuse hysteria hoax from the 80’s.
Not sure what anyone can investigate since her details are worthless and have already been contradicted by her own supporters. I guess they could knock on doors around the northeast USA and ask if anything suspicious happened about 30-40 years ago. Should take about 40,000 years to finish wasting everyone’s time.

Process? correct. this is the US Senate NOT a civil or criminal court proceeding. advise and consent. does the senate consent to his appointment? “what is the standard” to consent is the question. that standard comes from society by way of the elected representatives.

What is it with some of you gay men and your inability to accept the fact that people do get raped. You insist on remaining ignorant, mostly likely because you’re a predator. Educate yourselves on the facts of rape victims, male and female. The problem is not about due process but, about zero process for rape victims. You don’t actually hear most rape victims speaking out because they don’t!! Are you aware that there’re approximately 22,000 military members raped every single year, and mostly men. Your lack of empathy disgust me.

An investigation prior to Dr. Ford’s testimony is unwarranted in that it will not have any impact on what it is she has to say. Her testimony will be just that…her testimony. An investigation outside of her testimony does not seem to bode well for her given the length of time since the alleged event and that two of the people she stated were at the party, besides Kavanaugh, claim that have no recollection of the events she is describing. Ultimately, unless compelling evidence is provided, Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed. Just pray that the election in 20′ is favorable and RBG can hang in there a little longer.

PanzerRider–Utterly impotent trolling. Polonium PUTA doesn’t pay you for this drivelling tripe, particularly when every RAPEublican word you write is proven to be a lie. Koathanger Kochsucker K didn’t even have to have an FBI investigation (STANDARD FOR HIGH FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS, YOU EFFING IMBECILE!) to do his pathetic meltdown today. Creepy McRapeface is toast. Just pray that Vlad the Impaler doesn’t ship your worthless ass back to IRKUTSK. 🙂

Are the memers holding back on Keith Ellison abusing Karen Monahan? Dem’s trying to Anita Hill her into another dimension.
