Kavanaugh redux: Grassley wants DOJ to investigate Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick

If Breitbart reported it…it must be troll-food.

Stranger

Why do you think his political affiliation is relevant information?

And really: slut shaming? :rolleyes:

Ah Breitbart. Now THERE’S a reliable source!

I’m sure you would feel the exact same way if a democrat were accused of a sex crime. Were anthony weiner’s accusers all just trying to gain attention?

Also why did this only happen with Kavanaugh? There are lots and lots of celebrities. How come nobody accused mitt Romney of rape? Why wasn’t Neil Gorsuch accused of rape?

Please answer all these questions.

Does that mean she’s fair game for nonconsensual sexual assault?

Because the goal of this is to intimidate women into silence so they can be raped with impunity. Just as part of the point of putting Kavanaugh on the court was to rub it in the collective faces of American women that the nation is run by rapists.

The Republican party is the pro-rape party, their supporters rapists and rape supporters.

Absolutely not.

However, some sexual behavior is indicative of mental illness. Group sex and rape fantasies are likely manifestations of an unhealthy mind. Swetnick has a restraining order against her for stalking a former boyfriend and has been engaged in other sexual misconduct.

“Allegations laid out against her in the lawsuit include engaging in unwelcome sexually offensive conduct and making false and retaliatory allegations that other co-workers had engaged in inappropriate conduct toward her.” My bold.

Do you feel that having an attitude of “Just grab 'em by their pussy”, and most likely doing such physically indicates a mental illness? How about insisting on viewing underage girls and youngish beauty pageant contestants in a state of undress? And if so, how much would that cloud a person’s judgment and ability to recall past actions? :smiley:

From what I can tell, you’re 100% in support of investigating if Swetnick made false claims, but 0% in support of investigating if Kavanaugh made false claims. Why the difference? Why do you 100% believe Kavanaugh and 0% believe Swetnick? Many other people said Kavanaugh drank heavily when he was younger, which can impair his ability to form memories of events at that time.

Cite? :dubious:

There’s been a supplemental referral, because now one of Avenatti’s own witnesses is accusing him of defrauding Congress. NBC interviewed one of the women who executed one of the sworn declarations submitted to the Judiciary Committee by Avenatti in support of Swetnick’s account, and she disavowed the statement. Contradicting what was in the declaration, she told NBC that she never saw Kavanagh spike punch or behave abusively toward girls. Confronted by NBC with her disavowal, NBC recounts that Avenatti blustered and then arguably faked a text from the witness.

Interestingly, NBC did these interviews between Sep. 30 and Oct. 3, well before the confirmation vote, but it didn’t report on them until this week. In other words, it looks like they were willing to withhold this information as long as stopping Kavanagh remained a possibility, but now that that’s over, they’re cutting Avenstti loose and giving Grassley another sick to hit him with.

“Such indiscriminating or sometimes even random sexual behaviors can be commonly seen in various mental disorders such as psychosis, manic episodes, substance abuse and dependence, dissociative identity disorder, as well as borderline, narcissistic and antisocial personalities, and can, in fact, often be partially diagnostic of such pathological conditions.”

Because a lot of liberals refuse to look at evidence, I thought I should quote from your cite.

"Referring to Kavanaugh spiking the punch, “I didn’t ever think it was Brett,” the woman said to reporters in a phone interview arranged by Avenatti on Sept. 30 after repeated requests to speak with other witnesses who might corroborate Swetnick’s claims. As soon as the call began, the woman said she never met Swetnick in high school and never saw her at parties and had only become friends with her when they were both in their 30s.

When asked in the phone interview if she ever witnessed Kavanaugh act inappropriately towards girls, the woman replied, “no.” She did describe a culture of heavy drinking in high school that she took part in, and said Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were part of that group." My bold.

So you’re saying that her words conflict with Kavanaugh’s about drinking, and Kavanaugh should be investigated for potentially lying under oath? Good for you! Way to hold your own side responsible. That’s the way to make a better country!

Yes exactly. The goal is to terrorize anyone who would speak out against right wingers, that includes people who are victims of crimes they commit.

There is no moral middle ground anymore. There is no ‘both sides are equally bad’ bullshit either.

Sorry, one opinion piece that offers up a “guess” at other’s motivations without ever knowing or speaking to them, without any cites of studies or research, isn’t enough for me and so I proclaim your assertion “full of shit” and utterly without merit.

I mean, would you accept one un-cited op/ed piece from me that shows you’re wrong? If so, I’m sure I can find one.

Someone should start a gofundme for Judy Munro-Leighton. Ha! Ha! Another leftist loon who should go to jail.

‘I was angry and I sent it’: Another Kavanaugh accuser referred to FBI after recanting"

"Grassley, in a letter to the Department of Justice and FBI, said a woman by the name of Judy Munro-Leighton took responsibility for authoring an anonymous letter that made allegations that Kavanaugh and a friend raped her. After she was tracked down and interviewed by Senate investigators, the woman recanted and said she was not, in fact. the author and had never met Kavanaugh. "

Blinks and then blinks again.

I’m going to have to tell the pulp romance novel community (dating back to at least 1970) that they all have unhealthy minds. Harlequin and Silhouette will be quite upset by this.

This story doesn’t even make sense, does it?

Also, he conflates fantasy in his actual comment and behavior, which is what the article is about. Please look at his original comment. The cite does NOT back it up and Psychology Today? Really?
