Can't I just wake up next to Suzanne Pleshette and this will be over?

Easy IQ test:
C claims “B tried to rape me and I want the FBI to investigate my story.” B replies “I never tried to rape C but I don’t want the FBI to investigate.”

Who’s more likely to be telling the truth?
1. B?
2. C?
3. I don’t know; it’s just a case of “C said, B said.”

I never tried to rape C but I don’t want the FBI to investigate.”

Killing Free Speech

This OIC media strategy claims as one of its goals:


"To increase the interaction with media outlets and professionals, while encouraging accurate and factual/portrayal of Islam. Emphasis should be directed at avoidance of any link or association of Islam with terrorism or the use of Islamophobic rhetoric in the war on terror, such as labeling criminal terrorists as 'Islamic' fascists, 'Islamic' extremists."[10]

The OICs highly ambitious plans to do away with freedom of speech go severely underreported in the West. Mainstream Western journalists do not appear to find it dangerous that their freedom of speech should be supervised by the OIC, while Western governments, far from offering any resistance, appear, perhaps for votes, to be cozily going along with everything.

“What we accomplish is letting the American people know that I framed this as part of a concerted effort on the part of the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation to pack our courts. And they’ve been doing this for decades now, preparing the way, and they now have a willing president who is going to pick names off their list,” Hirono said. “So the American public needs to know that court-packing is going on. … And I hope to enable everybody to connect the dots. That they better be voting at the state legislative level and the governorships for people who are going to provide the kind of protections that maybe they will no longer be able to expect from the Supreme Court.”

So the American public needs to know that court-packing is going on.

@ehBeth, Quote: So the American public needs to know that court-packing is going on.

They do know. That is one of the reasons Trump was elected. It is the way it has always worked and if situations were reversed we would hear the same from Republicans. The piece of **** Obama said it himself, "elections have consequences".

Trudeau cost Canada its economic advantage

Canada used to attract investment with its low corporate tax rates and robust commodity sector, but Trudeau's carbon taxes and Trump's tax cuts are making Canada a less attractive place to business.

Trump was NOT elected.

The allegations against justice Kavanaugh concern a matter that is not even remotely considered a federal matter.

Islamophobic trash

The ordeal thus far reflects the strained logic of defending a man accused of sexual assault in the #MeToo era. Now the approach is gentler and more self-aware, less vilifying and more patronizing. But, by suggesting that Ford must be mistaken about who assaulted her, Republican lawmakers are making the same claim against her that they made against Hill, altered in style but not in substance: that they know more about a woman’s experience than she does.

We don’t know yet what will happen to Christine Blasey Ford—whether, if she does decide to testify, she will be afforded more respect by Republicans during a hearing than Hill was, or whether she will be talked down to with the same contempt. And we do not know how Republicans will reconcile the fact that Kavanaugh faces these allegations in a charged political climate where many of them would like to appoint him to the Supreme Court regardless, where his decisions will have profound reverberations in the lives of women and all Americans. For her part, Ford seems to have made her own calculations with weariness, resignation, and limited hope. In her interview with the Washington Post, she explained why she had initially declined to come forward: “Why suffer through the annihilation if it’s not going to matter?”
