That’s how religion came to be and stayed in power. Rapist priests talking about gods plans. Killings in the name of god. There’s nothing new about it

That 65 women letter **** is so silly. Those Catholic priests who spent decades raping children, how many people over the years do you think would have vouched for them unaware of the ******** they had been doing.

House Judiciary chair planning to subpoena Fusion GPS co-founder after scathing letter
The head of the House Judiciary Committee is preparing to subpoena Glenn Simpson, co-founder of the opposition research firm that helped compile the controversial dossier.
House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) is readying the order after Joshua Levy, a lawyer representing the Fusion GPS co-founder, wrote a scathing letter accusing GOP lawmakers of leading an investigation in which they "flout rules of confidentiality in order to manipulate the record and prejudice witnesses."
"The chairman does intend to subpoena him," a Republican House Judiciary Committee aide told The Hill after the letter surfaced on Thursday.
In a letter to Goodlatte and House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Levy not only rejected the House lawmakers request to interview Simpson, he also accused them of trying to silence whistleblowers.
"Part and parcel of this concerted effort by the President’s congressional allies has been a campaign of retaliation against the government’s whistleblowers, including our client Mr. Simpson, for their willingness to cooperate with US law enforcement and for their exercise of their constitutional rights to free speech and political activity as American citizens," Levy wrote.
Levy also said the joint investigation was wasting tax payer money as Republican lawmakers worked to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
"The so-called 'task force,' formed by members of the two committees you chair, has demonstrated a propensity to flout rules of confidentiality in order to manipulate the record and prejudice witnesses," he wrote in part.
"The 'task force' is comprised of some of the President’s staunchest protectors, who have misspent American taxpayers’ dollars to undermine the Special Counsel’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, even after the U.S. Intelligence Community and the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence both confirmed that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election for the purpose of electing Donald J. Trump," he added.
Simpson has faced GOP scrutiny for his involvement in compiling the controversial dossier that makes a series of salacious and unverified allegations about President Trump, and possible ties between his campaign and Russia.
Simpson has already met with the House and Senate intelligence committees.
Republicans have alleged that a contractor working for his firm, Nellie Ohr, could have passed the dossier on to her husband Bruce Ohr, who worked as a top official with the Department of Justice during the election.
A lawyer on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is believed to have retained Fusion GPS during the election to dig up dirt on Trump, then the Republican presidential contender.
Simpson had hired former British spy Christopher Steele to help compile the memos about Trump’s ties to Russia.
Simpson is one of several involved in the dossier that House GOP lawmakers want to speak to.
Congressional investigators are expected to interview Nellie Ohr next month.

I want to see y'all double down on that write in vote.
This ain't it. Just a quick at the comments on this post shows much people aint messing with her. He needs to cancel this asap.
At this point, I think I'm beginning to enjoy watching people shoot themselves in both feet while a bear is chasing them because a magic ball reader told them: "you will run faster. Trust me."

Whether Dems brought their A game or not, the fact is; they are not in the majority and the GOP is beholden to the fat ****head in the Oval. Honorable Judge Kavanaughty was always a desperate and almost certain loosing battle, but... but... but.. today we saw two character witnesses take the stand and they were stark contrasts. It's a great victory for Dr. Ford herself to face her attacker and inspire courage in others. She made a lasting impression and she reminded a lot of victims, that it's never too late, even if it's costly and painful to express the pain, that is dormant deep within, but always ready to awake and control your life through anxiety and insecurity.
Whatever else happened, her testimony brought fourth a stuttering and stammering, angry and petty man, that Republicans will have to bet their reputation on, when they tonight decide, whether to continue with the vote, delay or withdraw the nomination. Today was a disaster for them and some of the smarter ones, not the bugger-eaters like the Zodiac Killer, might have real concerns.

TIL that trying to kiss a chick after a date = groping them and trying to forcibly take off their panties.
What does that mean, to view those accusations as men? What are you even trying to defend here?

I think the minimum that came out of today is that Brett does not have the demeanor or character deserving of being a justice guilty or innocent. Not to mention that we know it’s impossible for someone to be completely unbiased but you have to at least show you can be unbiased and he did the exact opposite of that rambling about a Clinton conspiracy.....he is unfit for the position.
And Lindsay Ghraham made a got damn fool of himself.

"Wow, #ChristineFord looks rode hard and put up wet, as we say in the country. Just peeked into this FARCE," Jackson said in one tweet.
"I disagree. Feminists are their own worst enemies, and enemy of women," Jackson wrote in another. "Also, they want men to NEVER be believed. I'm not succumbing. TO HELL with the notion that women must be believed no matter what. Lying skanks is what these 3 women are, and we ALL know."

But who was the source? Lol ... See, that's the **** I'm talking about ... Even faced with blatant facts, Dems just want to ignore and sensationalize ...
The ONLY facts throughout this whole thing is that Democrats were notified in July, and despite having a vehicle for a confidential investigation, they sat on it to make it politically advantageous, knowing nothing could be proven ...
Then spent all day saying there should be an investigation ... kick rocks ...
