"I was promised that my statement, on the record, would corroborate the other accusations and make a difference in key votes. But in the end, it did not. [This vote] will make women who have experienced abuse and mistreatment even less forthcoming…"

1. And that's their point. nt

[Irish_Dem]

2. Who lied to her and why?

Set her up to make a public statement on record and then threw her under the bus?

[Hugin]

5. I keep looking for the names of those who lack immunity doing the bidding.

None forthcoming from the liberal M$M.

[magicarpet]

3. Thomas and Kavanaugh redux.

Misogyny and toxic masculinity on full parade - totally absent any embarrassment, shame, or regret.

[Botany]

14. Don't forget Trump's Child Rape* via Jeffery Epstein too. And Gaetz's underage sex that he paid for too.

* minors can’t give permission

Or South Dakota Governor Noem’s fling with Lewandosky as both were married to other
people or Rush Limbaugh going to the Dominican Republic to screw little boys in the butt
or Jerry Falwell Jr’s playing with himself as he watched his wife get f****d by a twenty something
year old life guard or Ollie North and …..

And they all claim to be Christians too.

[BoRaGard]

4. G.O.P. is completely untrustworthy

[Irish_Dem]

6. GOP loves people who kill, rape, murder, assault women.

They install them into high office.

[LakeVermilion]

9. Of course they did...

Wait till we get the nasty messages that elected representatives sent to Cassidy Hutchinson.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Gang bang threats to control and silence good women.

Threats by GOP leaders on the taxpayer dole, salary, benefits, perks.

[HereForTheParty]

7. God damn it name who it was that promised you!

You obviously have the fortitude to stand up to Hegseth. But you're too afraid of somebody who opposed him?

[rubbersole]

13. Help me understand what that would accomplish...

[HereForTheParty]

16. It would hold the person who made the promise accountable

No one should be making unkept promises to women who come forward. Let them be aware of whoever this was.

[rubbersole]

18. OK, thanks.

[MerrilyMerrily]

8. I think she is referring to the vote

Her statement DID corroborate other accusations. It did NOT make a difference. That is on the Republican senators, not the Dem senator(s) who asked her to release the statement the FBI omitted from their report.

[HereForTheParty]

17. Clearly to both

"I was promised that my statement, on the record, would corroborate the other accusations and make a difference in key votes. But in the end, it did not." (emphasis mine)

[TheRickles]

11. Not sure how she could believe a "promise" that her statement would shift some votes.

It certainly provided important corroboration for what Hegseth has done in the past, but it was wishful thinking that her comment would be the straw that broke the camel's back. I wonder who made that "promise" to her.

[Figarosmom]

12. Thats a plus

To the currant admin. That's an accomplishment to them.

[Comfortably_Numb]

15. Great. The secretary of defense should have to blow into an interlock device before he can issue an order.

I hope to Odin that Hegseth isn’t a mean drunk.

[rubbersole]

19. No telling what that psycho will do without a drink.

It won't be good.

[Comfortably_Numb]

20. And we all pay the price. I hate the tragedy that the US has become.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. We'll never know. I think he will always have a bottle handy.

or two.

Cheers

[Comfortably_Numb]

25. No it won't. And I've known some mean drunks, and he sounds like an abusive Neanderthal when he's loaded.

[OldBaldy1701E]

21. Seeing the type of person he is, I would say he is, most certainly. (n/t)

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. An alcoholic with Nazi/white supremacist tattoos? Odds are, yes he's a mean drunk.

and mean while sober, if ever that is.

[OldBaldy1701E]

24. I have said this many times in my life.

Whenever I hear someone go on about "Well, they change so much when they get drunk. Normally, they are not like this."

YES, THEY ARE! When you see this phenomenon, what you are seeing is not that the person 'changed'. They are now just unable to maintain the facade they created to make sure those parts of them are not readily visible. Alcohol removes inhibitions and it also removes any 'firewall' on the bad parts of a person's personality. They did not change at all. They just stopped worrying about how they look.

That guy has enough of a history when he is drunk, so that tells me that he is a first rate asshole who has managed to keep some cover over the worst parts of his mentality. But, once he gets into office, he will see no need to keep that facade going any more.

Just watch. I spent 40-some years as an entertainer, and I have been around FAR too many people who 'change' when they get drunk. No, they did not change. You are just finally seeing the real person.
