Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is testifying today before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her sexual assault by supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Why were no charges ever made. There is no statute of limitations in Maryland. There were 6 full investigations done by the FBI on Kavanaugh and nothing found. Why was nothing ever brought up then?

Thank you Kzoopair. Since Black Flirting will not allow the r word I bet many women would have liked to share their stories on blogs. I know a few brave women have written their stories of harsh realities. I was made aware of my own story that I had tucked away. God damn the victim shaming. I have had a man ask the questions about the time issue. He is perhaps being a devil's advocate. REMEMBER how long it took to get justice for the victims of Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Jerry Sandusky, the Catholic Church, the Olympic Gymnasts' doctor, Dr. Nadler. They are getting it wrong. This is a confirmation hearing for a lifetime appointment to the SCOTUS. It is about character. They guy in his yearbook is a scumbag. We as a nation should do better in assessing character. LOL Case in point, our joke in chief of a President. Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

I wholeheartedly agree. Dr. Ford has nothing to gain and a great deal to lose. In fact she's already been tormented by death threats and has had to go into hiding in safe houses. She did it to save other women from harsh treatment by a man who is clearly a misogynist. The decisions he would make on the highest court would endanger all women.

LOL Case in point, our joke in chief of a President. It makes me sick to think of it. It makes me sick- and furious- to think of what my wife endured. We aren't raising boys and young men properly. This has to stop! Women have more power in this country than ever before and they aren't willingly going back to times of being chattel and cumrags again. The social contract is being renegotiated today and women are making demands. Chief among those demands? STOP R**ING US! Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I think you are right! I don't know what else to say really. He really didn't come off looking very good or very believable. I really hope he doesn't get confirmed, just his demeanor alone should be enough to disqualify him. He wasn't responding off the cuff, he planned that show and that makes it even worse! I've been told I'm very good... but when I'm bad I'm better.

Thanks! I already doubted his credibility before Dr. Ford spoke out.He was evasive and flat refused to answer direct questions. Almost all his records were sequestered so that Democrats couldn't examine them. It was clear a whitewash was going on. As this has unfolded Kavanaugh has demonstrated exactly the kind of behavior you'd expect from a rich, privileged white male. He acts as if he's owed that seat on the high court, and he was willing to violate the rights of a seventeen year old girl to impress Republicans to give it to him. His behavior is absolutely a red flag and and being so evasive about wanting to clear his name with an FBI investigation... what man with nothing to hide would refuse a thorough investigation? Then staring down Dick Durbin instead of simply answering his question... Then questioning Senator Klobuchar if she drinks too much and has ever blacked out, his behavior was beyond belief. I was able to watch most of it and tried to rewind or record what I missed when I had to go out or when I went to work. When Trump was elected I didn't think things could get a whole lot worse, yet every single day there is something that happens that just beggars belief! I think I may just have to tune in to Saturday Night Live tonight and their treatment of this whole episode! I've been told I'm very good... but when I'm bad I'm better.

Someone asked about the 6 prior investigations and why they didn't bring up any of this sexual misconduct (in the situation where he pulled his pants down and practically put his penis in a woman's face) or why no one ever investigated this particular sexual assault. While your reply went to why the woman didn't report, I'm responding to the FBI investigations part of it. Believe it or not, people, past FBI investigations don't pursue anything that isn't a problem. For instance, if your father gave you a bunch of money but through a company, instead of the proper way and paying taxes on that money, the FBI might not see that as a problem. The IRS would, but not the FBI. If the FBI doesn't hear anyone talking about your alleged sexual assaults, they aren't going to be able to dig them up for you. What they should do, in the event that an allegation of sexual assault comes out into the public, is investigate all witnesses, including the two people that it allegedly occurred between and any other witnesses that might have been in the room, or the house. If allegations of alcohol abuse comes up into the public eye, then that should be investigated, also. In the days before #MeToo, sexual allegations that were not also backed up by a police report of "something that happened" were not freely looked at. Hopefully, we all learned a few lessons from this incident- 1. If you are a survivor, there are alternatives to filing a police report that can leave a paper trail for the future should the survivor get brave enough to come forward publicly. 2. If you are the parent of boys, raise them to understand that there are ways of getting consent, clearly, and a woman who has been drinking isn't one to be able to give clear consent. We are not animals. We can wait until we have clear consent. 3. If you are the parent of girls, raise them to know how to give clear consent, how to look out for your other friends in drinking situations, how to extricate a girl or a boy from a sexual situation if the person has had too much to drink. One may call that being cock-blocked, but better that than to not understand that one is sexually assaulting someone unable to give consent. 4. If you are a man and under any doubt that the person you want to have sex with could be having trouble giving consent, just remove yourself from the situation.

Late I know but I knew what you meant and I agree with you!! We have two lives, and the second begins when we realise we have only one - Confucious

Thanks, friend! It's all been said before- we line up with our cultural tribe when events like tis happen. Republicans are the party of winning, and they'll agree to anything they think will appeal to the basest of their base. They don't really need wide popular support because that isn't how they win. And Democrats, for better or worse, are the party of empathy for others, in spite of all their past mistakes. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
