womp womp

And this **** show keeps getting better. Another unmentioned fact is that the second-hand accuser here, Max Stier, was Clinton's lawyer for for the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit.

 

[Silly Green Monkey]

People in college who are part of the rich and famous set aren't allowed to grow up and continue mixing with the rich and famous set, that's not allowed in Ziggurat's world.

If Kavanaugh is guilty, then so is OJ!

Twitter is an authoritative source now, is it?

do try and stay on topic......it isn't Zig

Twitter isn't the source, Mollie Hemingway is. And I've since seen screenshots of the page from the book in question, a book by the same authors as the NYT piece. So really, they're the actual source. Feel free to dismiss them, though. They have given us every reason to.

Turns out even a cursory investigation by journalists turns up more evidence than the one done by the FBI:

Because they actually investigate, the FBI knew better than to investigate.

Let's all not forget his misleading (even lying) testimony under oath in 2004-2006.

BUt that is basic conservative behavior now, what else should one expect from a future Supreme court judge? They wanted a conservative judge and so you have to expect lying under oath and sexual harassment/assault.

The candidates who leaped to impeachment based on this news story look like knee jerk idiots right now.

This is as rediculous as beleiving there was a difference between Bush II and Kerry, they were both scull and bones mates in college so of course they are the same. Bush was clearly never a credible conservative because of this.

And what does that have to do with anything?

It's an indicator of possible motive. And it's the sort of thing that should have been reported, but wasn't. Not nearly as bad an omission as forgetting that the alleged victim apparently doesn't remember any such incident, but still, it's bad journalism.

Then provide those. Some random third-hand yahoo on twitter is not a source.

Twitter isn't the source,

How dare you insult the president like that!

 

[Upchurch]

In that case, twitter is a somewhat reasonable first hand source for what President Bozo is actually writing. (Give or take the times when other people are clearly posting on his behalf.)

Would you describe the authors of the NYT story as "some random third-hand yahoos"? Because Mollie Hemingway is no more of a random third-hand yahoo than they are. Yet you find them worth paying attention to, and want to ignore her. And I didn't provide the screen cap because I didn't have it when I first posted, nor was I in a position to include it when I wrote my previous reply. But here it is:

And BTW, even the NYT knows they were wrong to omit that rather crucial fact, and have now issued a correction. But this is the sort of "mistake" that you cannot credibly claim was made in good faith. If the NYT was interested in their credibility, they need to sanction the authors (and possibly their editor) for what's really misconduct.

- Impeaching a SCOTUS Judge is even more new territory then Impeaching a President, having only happened on (1804, Samuel Chase, charges of allowing partisanship to influence decisions, acquitted by the Senate and remain in office).

- I'm not sure if another impeachment is the best image for the Dems right now, but whatever.

And @whitegenocideTM is of course a reputable source for information, so says the president. Also various other white supremacist groups he knows are valid sources for information.

The Dems need a solid, cohesive majority in both the House and Senate in order for an impeachment of either the President or a sitting Supreme Court Justice to have a chance of succeeding in removal. They may or may not get that majority in 2020; but I'm not putting money on it.
