| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | My x, in order I suppose to rub something else in my face, bought the booze for my youngest [then 15] to have a large party at the house I surrendered but hadn't totally transferred on paper. Estimates are around 100 kids attended, and all drove home afterwards. A friend that picked up some of the mess that was tossed onto his land, cleaned up trash, empty containers and condoms for days. I was nearly in shock that someone would put themselves [and me] at that much legal and financial risk, just to "get even" with someone [me]. I'm glad no one was injured, and also no lawsuit afterwards. I didn't mind if my kids had a drink at home prior to their coming of age, but no one that wasn't blood related, or no one drove or left home afterwards. Same way my father approached alcohol. He didn't want us getting our first experience with alcohol to be in public with strangers. Something I still find wise. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

But Trump also wants us to believe Juanita Broaddrick, who says Clinton raped her in 1978, but never filed a police report and didn't say anything about it until 1999.  |

And after this kookoobirds press conference, his approval rating among registered Republicans will probably go up 2 points.  |

Why wouldn't it? We do not want a return to the embarrassment we had previous, apologizing for everything. The President is a fink. |

| reno Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 58 Posts: 1384 | There's a scene in the movie Sixteen Candles where Caroline is so drunk she's passed out. Caroline's boyfriend is Jake. You'd think he'd be protective of his drunk girlfriend, but you'd be wrong.
And then Jake gives Ted permission to take Caroline's drunk body home and rape her. Here's the kicker: the filmmakers don't portray Jake as a villain. On the contrary, Jake is the good guy in this movie, he's Molly Ringwald's love interest, and the movie has a happy ending solely because Ringwald finally gets her Prince Charming (even if Jake is an accomplice to rape.) The film was released in 1984. It doesn't even have an R rating, this is a PG film. Those were the norms of the era. Perhaps in 2018, we're outraged by a man who would do such a thing, but in the culture of the early '80s having your way with a drunk girl wasn't nearly as taboo as it is now.   |

The GOP Senators won't subpoena Mark Judge to testify, but that's totally a mistake. He's the lifeline for the GOP! Consider the possibilities: A) Mark Judge vouches for Kavanaugh ("The man is a saint!") B) Mark Judge betrays Kavanaugh, throws him under the bus ("The man is a rapist!") C) Mark Judge pleads the 5th Amendment If the A scenario occurs, Kavanaugh gets confirmed. The libs will be pissed, but half the fun of this is owning the libs, so too bad get over it, snowflakes. If the B or C scenario occurs, this gives the GOP Senators a justification for rejecting Kavanaugh that the GOP voters back home will understand. Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, she sails through, Trump wins, game over. |
