    If Brown appointed her because she was dating him, that is on him, not her. There is nothing to indicate she was sleeping her way to the top or that she was unqualified for the position she received. Reading up on him, it seems he frequently dated women outside of his marriage and that his wife was aware. Really comes off as a form of slut-shaming.

    Are we so sure that the thread title is incorrect?

    Were the baseless smears against Kavanagh sexist?

    Calling the hush money a campaign fund is arguably a stretch (maybe a real big stretch); and more likely reveals the bias of those who describe in such a way.

    The way I've heard it described, Trump paid off Stormy way before he decided or made any announcement about running for the WH.

    Kamala didn't seem to need proof against Kavanagh.

    The thread title doesn't ask a question.

    Yep, sexual assault with an accuser and consensual sex between two individuals are totally comparable.

    To a fewer sad posters in this thread, it seems that is true. Obviously, none of those posters are women. Go figure.

    Would only suggest to those of y'all not having absurdist fun or telling jokes in this pathetic troll thread: if you're still injured over poor, poor Kav-bro, he of the lifetime appointment and silver spoon upbringing, there are threads for that topic where you can cry some extra tears of rage or poor out a BEER! (if natty lite counts) on his behalf. LOL. {Insert Jeffersons' theme song} Bump 'em on up!

    Ahem.....was there *any* evidence of the sexual assault? No? Ok then. It's comparable.

    Does it have to? Many other threads have titles like "Trump is causing climate change that will end the world" etc.

    Yeah, even if it is a totally made up accusation one is a criminal offense and the other is s pleasant Saturday evening.

    They as comparable as apples and non-baryonic matter.

    While I guess you could try to argue that it was not a campaign expense, the evidence supports it was.

    And your timeline is way off... trump had cohen pay Stormy Daniels days before the election. And trump had a meeting to discuss the hush money In August 2015. He publicly announced his candidacy in June 2015.

    Trump was at August 2015 meeting about hush money payments, source says

    Uh no. The charges against Kavanagh were so weak that they would not have made it into court; indeed, into any arena except the circus that the Senate judiciary committee has become.

    And you're also dismissing the possibility of quid-pro-quo with Harris and Brown.

    There was much evidence. Including a victim's accusation. Actually, multiple victims accusations. For various reasons, the investigation didn't consider all the evidence when the Senate subcommittee made their ruling.

    Now... what proof do you have that Senator Harris slept with former California Speaker of the House Willie Brown as a way to advance her career?

    Ultimately the testimony of the alleged victim and statements from 2 other women. Did those claims deserve investigation? Yes. Was anything actually going to come of it? Not unless Kavanaugh's buddy flipped on him while also implicating himself, which isn't likely if the accusation was true, and definitely not going to happen if was untrue.

    This isn't even really an accusation against Harris, but of Willie Brown playing favorites.

    Yes, victim testimony is evidence. The other victims' testimony was evidence. Perhaps you are confusing evidence and "physical evidence"? Many rape cases don't have physical evidence. And this case involved a crime that happened many years ago. The accused's calendar was physical evidence.

    Not really a stretch, as you heard it described falsely.

    Essential Consultants LLC was set up on October 17th 2016 and funds were moved beginning October 26th, just two weeks before Election Day

    Eh, maybe you're right. It's still lame. It's still an example of Trump opponents looking for any little thing.

    Trump paying Stormy to keep quiet is not like Nixon paying off the Watergate burglars, IMO. Those guys were actually going into the opponent's office.
