Donald Trump has been clearly identified as a chauvinistic pig on many occasions. The most lurid was caught on camera and audio - remember that ? explaining to another male that when he meets other women as part of his duties he often 'grabs them by the crutch - and they are so surprised he gets away with it ' or words to that effect.
He is still being investigated for various fraud charges as are the rest of his family baring his young son??
There are those in govt who are still investigating impeachment options.
That the republican party can continue to back such a person and wish him to be their leader clearly demonstrates their stupidity and general lack of direction.
I finish with a paraphrase from the Australian parliamentary system:
" God save the statue of liberty - because nothing will save the republicans or the supreme court of the USA!.........."
Agree. Agree. Agree.
Personally I have not the slightest doubt Kavanagh got legless at the party and attacked Ford - it's exactly how those rich students behaved in those days and as I understand it, still do today.
So now the US has a conservative (probably biased) Judge with a life-time seat on the Supreme Court AND added to that, he's in Trump's pocket.
There is nothing, but nothing, unbiased or unpartisan about the situation, most right thinking Americans are horrified.
But having said that I don't deny K has had a glittering career and it's just possible that the episode has taught him something?
Not sure what!
Threads like this tend to go downhill fast and end up going round in circles once the moment has passed, I've said all I want so I'm bowing out now.
It's been an interesting discussion, and apart from one notable personal barb, lacking the usual insults.
Thank you.
