Przypomniała mi się historia Bretta Kavanaugh, prawnika, którego nominowano do Sądu Najwyższego USA z ramienia republikanów. Co się wtedy stało? Koleżanka z liceum odezwała się do gazety (zgadnijcie której, hehe) i oskarżyła go o molestowanie, ...
które miało mieć miejsce ponad 30 lat wcześniej. Proces zaprzysiężenia został wstrzymany i wszczęto postępowanie, które miało wyjaśnić sprawę. Życie państwa Kavanaugh stało się koszmarem: groźby, ostracyzm, szkalowanie w mediach, lęk o przyszłość.
Christine Blasey Ford, czyli kobieta, która oskarżyła Kavanaugh i jego kolegę Judge'a o to, że zamknęli się z nią na klucz w pokoju i zmacali, miała za dowód tylko swoje słowa. Jedyny świadek, jej koleżanka, zeznała, że sytuacja nie miała miejsca i że ktoś ją namawiał,

Debunking all the misinformation and bullshit I’ve heard so far, a thread:
1. Ambers photos showed no injuries. She went on and on in her histrionic rant about how brutal the attacks were then proceeded to show pictures that depicted no injuries. No bruising, no swelling, nothing. She had one video of Johnny slamming cabinets, saying he wasnt mad…
…at her, seeing she was recording and leaving. None of that is abusive. Especially considering he had just found out his business manager had been embezzling millions of Johnnys own money. Johnny was the one with audio recordings, not her. In fact, they all proved she was the…

#BelieveAllWomen was exposed as a farce when Tara Reade accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her and every major women's group abandoned her and every major news org sought to discredit her.
Reminder that Reade had MUCH more to back up her story than Blasey Ford did

I thought this preview was bad. Then I listened to the entire interview. This might be the worst single interview from any of the Grievance Hoaxers, and I have put myself through a mortifying amount of content from these people. Let me set out the highlights briefly [1/n]
Here's Peter claiming all teaching programs in the US "participate in some variant of CRT or the Woke ideology..." in ways that lead K-12 teachers not to form beliefs based on evidence, to be unwilling to revise beliefs, to have no semblance of rationality. I have no words. [2/n]
Mask all the way off, he praises the Strongman Fascist Dictator model of addressing the problem of Wokeness, namedropping Viktor Orbán and saying his method is the only way because things like peer review and reason aren't used in Studies departments. (This is just false.) [3/n]

We need to get something out in the open right now.
We need to understand who Bernie Sanders supporters are, and more importantly, who they're not. (thread)
morningconsult.com/2020/04/10/san…
First, let’s understand who they aren’t. They are *NOT* disillusioned former Bernie supporters who’ve “gone rogue.” We know this because real Bernie supporters en masse now support Biden like he does.
morningconsult.com/2020/04/08/as-…
That is, nearly all Bernie’s former supporters are now going to vote for Biden.

These people understand that Joe Biden is the better choice than Donald Trump to move us toward the world that they believe in…the world envisioned by Bernie Sanders. 3/

BREAKING: We got our hands on the leaked questionnaire the Biden Campaign is using to vet women to be his VP.

Some of these questions are tough.
Question 1: Have I smelled your hair?
Question 2: Have I given you or one of your relatives an unsolicited hug, sniff, or kiss?

(This would already disqualify a lot of people.)

I think this piece is accurate in the extremely narrow sense that there wasn’t a widespread hashtag but fails as cultural commentary.

A quick trip down memory lane to remind us what the conversation was related to #Kavanaugh & #MeToo back then.
nytimes.com/2020/05/18/opi…
So, first off, Faludi seems right that there wasn’t a huge #BelieveAllWomen phenomena, although “believe all women” was bantered about by some.

But this ignores the rush to believe women without or before evidence in a way that has clear political goals.
Instead of Ford - whose allegations clearly split the country in terms of their credibility - let’s focus on Julie Swetnick, once represented by Michael Avenatti. Her testimony was what started the “gang rape” narrative.

A lot’s been written about the double standard in how the media/liberals have responded to the Biden/Kavanaugh allegations. But here's a thread laying out just how pervasive that double standard really is.

Here’s a list of the 50 biggest hypocrites:
1/ ELIZABETH WARREN:

“I believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. My heart broke watching her testify. She’s a hero – brave, compelling, credible” facebook.com/ElizabethWarre…

“The vice president’s answers were credible and convincing.” thehill.com/homenews/senat…
2/ CHUCK SCHUMER:

“I believe her. Many, many, many Americans believe her." foxnews.com/opinion/tucker…

“Sen. Schumer believes that Joe Biden’s answer has been sufficient and will work as hard as he can to make sure Joe Biden defeats Donald Trump...” vox.com/2020/5/11/2124…

“I want him to address it, and admit it, and modify his behavior”

So, basically she wants him to...stop...*not* assaulting women? Her claims are not exactly, um, “broadly substantiated” among women who’ve been around him... #IBelieveJoe sanluisobispo.com/news/politics-…

I'm not GOP. I'm someone who can clearly see that when the DNC wanted to weaponize #MeToo and #BelieveAllWomen they did and the minute the allegations are about their guy, suddenly that woman is a liar and we need to respect due process. It's the definition of a double standard.
As someone who's been sexually assaulted, I'm tired of feeling like a pawn in a game. We're victims when it's convenient. We're liars when it doesn't fit the narrative. The same people who will call out their political opponent will defend the exact same behavior in their guy.
Apply the standards consistently. And for fuck's sake, stop gleefully dunking on your political opponents over their hypocrisy around this. You're essentially expressing schadenfreude over sexual assault, and you're gross too because you don't give a shit about us either.

@morningmika @JoeBiden So there’s a lot to unpack here.

Thread.

First of all, if #BelieveWomen isn’t tempered with basic common sense, then it’s simply blind dogma, and thus quite dangerous and subject to horrible abuses, as I’ve said long before I ever heard the name Tara Reade.

Let’s compare the
@morningmika @JoeBiden cases of Biden and Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh: despite being an only marginally well known public figure prior to his nomination, he had not one but multiple accusers. His known, documented behavior, not to mention his judicial actions, all point to a distinct lack of respect for
@morningmika @JoeBiden women in general. Every chance he’s given to rule on women’s rights and their fundamental freedoms and right to bodily autonomy, he’s proven that he believes they deserve none of those.

We must also consider the consistency of the narrative around his behavior. Very different

OK, that’s it. After seeing what Corey “<sad trombone noise>” Lewandowski wrote about the Tara Reade accusation, I’m ready to say that I FULLY BELIEVE JOE BIDEN.
When a remorseless muck leech like Lewandowski tries to claim the moral high ground under #MeToo against our people’s choice to end Donald Trump’s vile subjugation of the very *concept* of human decency, ASK YOURSELF WHY HE’S DOING THAT.
#MeToo means every woman deserves at least a fair chance to have their accusations heard. #BelieveAllWomen ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT mean all men accused *are* guilty.

INVESTIGATING A CREDIBLE ACCUSATION IS BELIEVING THE WOMAN. IT DOES NOT PRESUME ANY PURITY OF MOTIVE.

Just to add to this, yesterday @NPR did cover the Tara Reade allegation against Joe Biden. But check out how they framed it, as compared to those against Justice Kavanaugh

THREAD
Here's the NPR podcast talking about their story: npr.org/2020/04/20/839…
Reminder: In the Dr. Blasey Ford allegations against Judge K, there was:

—No confirmed date
—No confirmed location
—Zero corroboration (in fact, refutation as to specific facts)
—Admitted political motive
—No police report

Didn't matter, "Believe all women", Justice K's guilty!

From a now-updated CNN story that read like literal propaganda, to Bloomberg News China subservience, there are real costs to buying the China line. Why is the media doing this - and what happens next as we learn more about the Wuhan lab?

@FourthWatch:
mailchi.mp/thefirsttv/fou…
@FourthWatch A Washington Post column from @RuthMarcus includes the jaw-dropping lines "#BelieveAllWomen was a dumb hashtag” and “I don’t think what Reade claimed happened."

I’m not sure what the RIGHT way to cover the Biden allegations is. But it can’t be this...

@FourthWatch @RuthMarcus There’s more to the @ChrisCuomo Easter incident story - and there’s definitely more to the “I don’t like what I do” comment - than has previously been reported.

Joe Biden accused of sexual assault by a former Senate staffer who worked for him. This is a huge mess for the Democrats based on the precedent they set in the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. There is far more evidence against Biden here than against Kavanaugh: nytimes.com/2020/04/12/us/…
Biden was also an adult in a supervisory role at the time of this allegation as opposed to Kavanaugh being a high school kid. My position in all these cases has been to look at all the evidence and not believe anyone based on their gender. But Democrats argued #BelieveAllWomen.
The biggest issue here is that Democrats, including Biden, were completely wrong to embrace the idea that you should believe someone based on their gender. Biden’s own words trap him here. Precedents matter and should be applied evenly regardless of race, gender, or party.

Washington Post Displays Glaring Double Standard When Reporting Sexual Assault Claims thefederalist.com/2019/02/04/was…
It is now apparent that The Washington Post’s standard for reporting on cases of sexual assault is dependent upon whether the accused is a political target of their choosing.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax issued a statement Monday morning denying accusations of sexual assault from 2004. Fairfax said the allegations were investigated by The Washington Post last year, who found, “significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegation.”

Leftists/Democrats and their media propagandists have normalized lawlessness, violence, aggression, racism, sexism, and bigotry. They have trained blacks to attack blacks, whites to attack whites, women to attack women who don’t fall in line with what theydeem is acceptable.
Dems organize protests, (mob riots) of outraged, perpetual victims to attack, harass, and threaten, all in the name of restoring “civility,” civil rights, and protecting our “institutions.
The aggressive mobs’ astonishing, outrageous behavior is treated as acceptable and righteous and the master elites herald it as democracy in action. In reality, the zombie mobs are weaponized, oblivious puppets being used by elite corrupt politicians to keep the base in line.

Nobody Believes All Women

Believe all women… unless they accuse the Left.

The willingness of more Democrats to believe Bill Clinton’s accusers isn’t evolution, it’s hypocrisy.

Democrats covered for Bill Clinton as long as the Clintons were a viable political dynasty.
Only when Hillary went down in flames, and Bill Clinton seemed to spend most of his time playing with balloons, was it safe to start believing the same women they had been ridiculing and demeaning all these years.

1/ Reading this piece was a total waste of time, except that it prompted me to try to check out something I've been curious about: are there, in fact, a substantial number of progressives who say that we should believe ALL women?
2/ My normal operating assumption is that there is not view so stupid that you can't find SOMEONE who holds it, so I assume that there are people who believe this one. But *lots* of them?
3/ I checked out the hashtag #BelieveAllWomen . It's almost entirely people on the right, being sarcastic. Random example:

.@DNC, Whose No. 2 Was Accused Of Abuse By 2 Women, Demands Kavanaugh Investigation frontpagemag.com/point/271377/d…
#BelieveAllWomen can be a touchy subject when your organization's no. 2 has been accused of abuse by two women.
There's no police report with Kavanaugh and thus nothing to investigate. However there is a police report involving Ellison.

There's one Kavanaugh accuser from ages ago. But there are two Ellison accusers. And the most recent one is... fairly recent.
