Seems like a lot of conservative "justices" need to be investigated and impeached.

My memory was that we knew this at the time?

That poor woman who testified and then had to go into hiding from death threats probably woukd have preferred an actual investigation before he was confirmed

Sexual assaulters stick together.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Great, so can we finish that investigation now? Please?

Of course they did.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

Of course they did.

Slow news day? This was known and reported on at the time, 4 years ago.

Is this a surprise to anyone at this point? Blatantly obvious corruption was basically the MO of the Trump administration

Only thing surprising me is that there was ANY kind of investigation. I thought they just sat on the entire thing.

Rapists of a... Feather grab em by the... I'm gonna workshop this a bit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Rapists remain connected to other rapists so they can protect each other. Simple and to the point.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Not surprising. Trump supports Brett.
