Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

This senators office is full of ****.

I just called her office. about her comments and as a father of someone that was falsely accused of sexual assault they refused to comment on that accusations without evidence
should not be allowed or tolerated.

in fact they wouldn't even answer and dismissed it outright.

Senator your office should be ashamed of itself and so should you.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

I made a number of accurate assertions you cannot refute.

Btw, take a class in logic.

yes you should, accusations without proof are nothing.
so let me know when you get proof.

i don't have to refute accusations you have to prove them.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

Situation 1. Ford is right and Kavanaugh assaulted her at a teenager drinking party. What should happen to Kavanaugh?

Situation 2. Kavanaugh is correct that no assault took place. What should happen to Ford since the claim tainted his reputation.

Sit 1: He should be denied a seat on SCOTUS. That is about all that can be done. He won’t be legally held accountable now for something he did decades ago regardless of no statute of limitations since he was a minor. He can’t be sued for it either for the same reason. So denying his appointment is the most that can happen.

Sit 2: Kavanaugh could sue her in civil court. I think criminal charges could only be brought against her if she filed a false police report or lied about the incident under oath.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

The woman has no dates, no locations, no witnesses, nothing which can in any way be investigated. Therefore, nothing will come of the accusation. Kavanaugh has a presumption of innocence just like everyone else. The left seems to think that the accused has to clear himself rather than the accuser having the onus of proof. That may be how totalitarian societies work but it is not supposed to be how we operate.

65 women who have worked with Kavanaugh have signed a letter attesting to his integrity and ethics. Their word should certainly count for more than the foggy recollections from someone claiming something happened in 1982. That's assuming she even knows the year it supposedly happened.

You are acting as is if judgement wasn't involved, and it was possible to have perfect information. It is, and it is not..

I pointed out a number of naughty things the criminals were doing. You keep ignoring that because they are true.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

Sure it is "Republocrats"

Yup, Republocrats is a term that refers to both sides of the OneParty.

again you should be able to provide some evidence to support the accusations. so far you are just throwing stuff at a wall.
He went through the hearings the cleared them with no issues at all.

This is like tennis, I hit the ball, you hit it back. You haven't hit it back.

The reason you haven't is simple, you already know what I said was accurate.

She also gave orders to the press demanding that they run stories on how unfairly Ford is being treated.

This lady is scary. Straight up, demanding we toss aside such things as:
Presumption of Innocence
Due Process
Freedom of Speech

This is not a good look for the Democrat's, and they should distance themselves from her.

The Stalinist tactics of today's democrats aren't even surprising anymore.


We've grown to accept it as "normal" which is also VERY SCARY....
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

I don't think she should be victimized or smeared, which the alt-right is certainly engaged in a smear campaign against her.

Believed? That would take evidence. We should take the accusations seriously and look into them, investigate as well as we can at this point. But evidence is required.

No, it is Brett Kavanaugh who is being VICTIMZED and SMEARED....

no it wasn't accurate. there is no evidence in 6 FBI background checks or anything else that he has done anything wrong.

so lets walk through your muck since you won't do it yourself.
lying about committee confidential status: he didn't lie.

that was it.

so there you have it.

so here is a group of guys just like you trying the same thing.

sorry you are wrong amazing how that was the case.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

Freedom of speech...to bully people and smear them? Legal, maybe if not libel/slander, but you want to champion that?! Or attack someone for saying it's not OK?

Presumption of innocence - he was presumed innocent, until someone came forward with a serious allegation
All they are asking for is for it be investigated by credible investigators, instead of a partisan attack squad (see Anita Hill, or hell, Benghazi)

due process - he's not on trial, he's being interviewed for a job.

I can see why she frightens you...

But...

Ford, and the Dems, want the FBI to investigate this. The Republicans would love to ignore it. The Dems want to follow the usual process, which is to investigate the character of the nominee.

Due Process would be to investigate an allegation like this...

Trump is the one that doesn't like free speech. She wants Republicans to do their job. Which is something most of the country would like to see, not that there is any chance whatsoever they'll do that.

Yup, this needs to be investigated, so lets sit on this accusation for months till the 11th hour.

Yup, these dems are so concerned about due process and getting at the trurh.

I laughed.

What's amazing is how you keep avoiding most of what I said.

Kavanaugh had nothing to do with committee confidential status. That was an impressive way to tell us don't know what you're talking about.

Republicans dumped thousands of documents on Democrats less than 24 hours before the hearing. They also claimed that they were confidential. When Booker called their bluff by releasing some, after throwing some threats at him, they admitted they were never confidential.

Kavanaugh is not on the judiciary committee, he had nothing to do with that.

Btw, I never said perjury. I said he lied, which is true. Get Trump to release his paperwork and I can prove a number of things you won't enjoy seeing.

Which is, after all, why they have kept them hidden.

This is not the way it's supposed to be. At all.

Ford and her attorney calling for an investigation makes sense. However, the Democrats calling for an investigation is an obvious delaying tactic, just like sitting on the letter was. The Dems didn’t do any favors for Ford and I wonder if she regrets trusting them.

i posted the links have a nice day that say you are wrong. even vox says you are wrong and well you know how liberal they are.
congrats. i knew you wouldn't own up to it though. looks like you keep swinging and missing like i knew you would.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

I'd be willing to believe her if she had any evidence at all. If this was as psychologically devastating as she claims, surely she'd have something substantive to offer. As it is, she doesn't. Therefore I won't be shutting up, Senator. You may, if you wish.

Ms. Ford hired a lawyer in August and took a polygraph test in August and no call for an FBI investigation till the 11th hour.

Nope, the call for an investigation is still a stall tactic.

Actually, I didn't say perjury. I've said that before, in this thread.

But is he a prevaricating piece of crap? Oh my yes.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

Democrats are showing all their dirty cards and underwear in this approval process. They are fighting tooth and nail to keep a good guy from sitting on the SCOTUS.

I'd prefer the Democrats keep their dirty underwear to themselves. Seeing their faces on TV is disturbing enough.

My guess is the "I won't testify until FBI investigates" thing came from her hack lawyer, who is no doubt colluding with the Senate Dumbs to delay or outright squash Kavanaugh.

Either testify on Monday or retract your claim. Those are your only 2 choices, lady!

Situation 2. Kavanaugh is correct that no assault took place. What should happen to Ford since the claim tainted his reputation.

1. Kavanaugh should be removed as a nominee and possibly punished (how that is done is all up to the rule of law)
2. Kavanaugh takes Ford to court and sues her into bankruptcy.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

I have seen nothing from Republicans in these threads except the conclusion that she's a liar out to get their precious Kavanaugh. They've already made up their minds on the matter and are absolutely dead set against any further investigation.

Considering her story has changed many times, it's getting harder and harder to believe her.
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

And hopelessly so. That's why it's reasonable to let a professional law enforcement agency address this.

WTF is there to investigate?

How do you investigate an attempted rape accusation from nearly 40 years ago with zero physical evidence and no witnesses from the accuser's side except for a therapist's notes, which the accuser has contradicted in publicized statements?
 
Re: Sen. Hirono: Men Need To "Shut Up," Kavanaugh Accuser Needs To Be Believed And I Believe Her

yep the MD police but the issue there is. also she would have to go and file a formal charge.
she doesn't know the date, the house, the time, or anything else.

And no physical evidence.
