Absolutely not, as that literally never happened.

Amazing how quickly history gets rewritten.
Don’t want to turn this into another Kavanaugh thread, but the Ronan Farrow story and Avenatti shenanigans absolutely distracted from legitimate allegations against Kavanaugh.

It's not a question of virality, it's a question of passing the most basic of sniff tests. Someone anonymously posting a claim, with a highly partisan bent, as a Google Drive doc? Yeah, even habitual lie peddlers like Breitbart and Daily Caller might pass on that... and DC just tried to smear Booker in September. They'd need at least a name to hang their hat on, especially when it's written like a closeted Republican's fanfic.
The Avenatti client did not pass any sniff tests. The Ronan Farrow story quickly fell apart as well.

Those could absolutely have been legitimate accusations as well but we'll never know as they were never properly investigated. Regardless, they were not taken to be facially true.

UG, I don't know if you have a college or university degree, but if you do, I don't know how you earned it.

One of the first things they teach you about writing a paper is to verify the credibility of the sources. And whether it's both CitizenTruth or the Twitter account, they have zero. Even "theedeepthroat" is very clearly trying to spin this as a partisan ploy. An anonymous Google Drive document can easily be faked; a person willing to identify themselves and testify has much more credibility. And while anonymous sources can work in certain contexts, you don't make direct accusations with a vivid, novel-like recounting of events and then refuse to identify yourself.
It's UC, are you serious?

Since Cory Booker hasn't resigned, Dems must support sexual assault.
Once this guy takes a lie detector test and gets the FBI involved and they fully investigate. If it comes back credible and Booker lies under questioning, we'll all call for his resignation.

Until then, time for you to go back inside, the sun is coming up.

EVERYONE. We need to stop asking for so-called "lie detector" tests and we need to stop giving them any credence at all. Any mention of such a thing should be universally met with groans, derision, and exagerrated eye-rolling.
Supreme Court Justice seems to think they're ok...well, he used to.

and the supreme court has proven itself incapable of correctly interpreting anything resembling scientific data, if the recent gerrymandering case is any indication.

It's a farce really. Or a tragedy.

The SC's job is to interpret the constitutionality of laws, not interpret scientific data.

This is easy. If the accusation is true, he should be thrown the fuck out of the Senate, and any/all criminal charges should be brought against him.

Since I’m not a fucking piece of shit pretending to be a human being, I sure as fuck don’t want Booker to continue his career and be promoted to a lifetime position, if this accusation is even somewhat credible.

Because I’m not a piece of garbage pretending to be a human.

There. We good, OP/garbage bag?

That's all we asked when Kavanaugh was accused.

Odd that Republicans worked so hard to block investigations into whether the accusations were true then.

Also odd that you apparently didn’t think him repeatedly lying under oath gave any indication as to the credibility of the accusations against him.

Interesting. ....that's not going to work out for you as you pray that they make abortion illegal based on what you seem to think science and medicine defines as "life."

After all, they aren't responsible for interpreting scientific data....
