I’m glad Susan Collins believes so strongly in the principle of innocent until proven guilty. I’m guessing she stood by Al Franken when allegations were levelled at him then.
- cuz that photo wasn't damning or disgusting for that matter... but damn those stupid 'allegations'!!PonyBoy
- you mean the photo where he was pretending to grab someone's tits?BusterBoy
- Collins gave a weird speech implying that Kavanaugh is not actually conservative on many issues. Either she is full of shit or what was point of nominating him?yuekit
- Also the line that "I believe Ford but I don't believe Kavanaugh assaulted her" makes zero sense at all.yuekit
- @yuekit she believes Ford was assauted but not by Kavanaugh. Simple. Makes 100% sense.chukkaphob
- Ford named multiple people who Kavanaugh actually was drinking buddies with, who are not famous. She mentioned seeing one of his friends at a grocery storeyuekit
- after the assault, that he actually did work at. Where did she get all those details from, if she is simply misremembering everything?yuekit
- The irony of essentially saying "I believe and support this woman, who by the way is completely delusional", is a bit much.yuekit
- Phil Collins and Al Franken Stein Live at Montreaux Jazz Festival 1978oey
- @yuekit her naming people who know him means NOTHING. C'mon now. LOL!chukkaphob
- Details? Either made up (just like her making up hear fear of flying) or recalled from another event where Kavanaugh and the 4 "witnesses" were NOT present.chukkaphob
- Not a single of the 4 "witnesses" corraborated her story. Plus, she couldn't tell how she got there or how she left or where it happened or in what year! C'monchukkaphob
- @chukkaphob Why are you so convinced it's impossible that it happened? Just because douchebag fratboy Kavanaugh and his friend who was involved denied it? lolyuekit
- If it did happen, they would every incentive to deny it. So that's not particularly convincing to me.yuekit
- Of course, it's possible she made the whole thing up and is lying. But the idea that she actually was assaulted, but misremembered who assaulted her and namedyuekit
- a completely different person, seems ridiculous. It's politicians trying to have it both ways.yuekit
- Ford was assaulted by someone. She then attached that experience onto Kavanaugh. Because she wanted to block his nomination. Simple.chukkaphob
- I do believe her that she was assaulted (and I feel for her for that!) But I do not believe her that she was assaulted by Kavanaugh.chukkaphob
- Why do you believe she was assaulted if you also think she is making it up? Makes no sense at all.yuekit
- It's a bullshit politician answer. "I believe the women" but I also need to vote for the guy my party nominated. You can't really be that naive chukka.yuekit
- Notice that Trump just came out and said the whole thing was a hoax (not mistaken identity). So your side doesn't even try to be consistent with their BS.yuekit
- OK, this is becoming exhausting. I don't think you're even reading what I write. LOL. I never said she's making up the part about being assaulted. I'm done herechukkaphob
- I was asking what convinced you she was assaulted at all if you don't believe the rest of her story. Pretty simple question :)yuekit
- 1. In 2012 she talked to her psychiatrist about *A* sexual assault
2. Passed a lie detector test about *A* sexual assaultchukkaphob - 3. Her body language during her testimony reveals sincere recount of *A* sexual assault
4. Upfront, I believe people until I have a reason not to :)chukkaphob - She also told people back then that it was Kavanaugh. Multiple people have confirmed this.yuekit
- Of course we'll never know 100% the truth, but the fact that Trump's people didn't allow the FBI to question Kavanaugh himself speaks volumes.yuekit
- And according to them, the reason for this is that it wouldn't be helpful to his nomination. LOL!yuekit
- "She also told people back then that it was Kavanaugh. Multiple people have confirmed this." NOPE.chukkaphob
- The FBI didn't need to question Kavanaugh; he already testified to the senate. Under penalty of felony. Kavanaugh told the senate what he would tell the FBIchukkaphob
- Her husband and friends signed sworn statements saying that she told them she was assaulted by Kavanaugh and "a federal judge" years ago.yuekit
- https://www.thedaily…yuekit
- On the FBI inquiry... "McGahn told the President a wide-ranging inquiry would be potentially disastrous for for Judge Kavanaugh’s chances of confirmation"yuekit
- https://www.nytimes.…yuekit
- I won't even click on the "https://www.thedail... link! LMAO!chukkaphob
- Disastrous because of the timing. A lenghthy investigation would have put the nomination past the midterms . And that was exactly the dems' agenda here...chukkaphob
- ...who sat on leaking this until the 11th hour , instead of calling for an FBI investigation in July when they first heard of this.chukkaphob
- You're grasping at straws.chukkaphob
- What's wrong with the Daily Beast link? You don't want to read a story that proves you wrong? haha cmonyuekit
- An FBI interview of Kavanaugh would have taken maybe 2 hours. The midterms are still a month away.yuekit
- Let's be real, he didn't want an interview because he couldn't bullshit and evade his way through an FBI interrogation the way he did at the hearings.yuekit
- LOL! *yawn*chukkaphob
- FBI will ask the questions until they actually get answers. You can't just repeat "I LIKE BEER, DO U LIKE BEER" to an FBI agent :)yuekit
