Here's the thing that really throws me.

The Judiciary committee asked the President to reopen the FBI's background check process to investigate the creditable accusations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh.

Credable.

Basically, the GOP already believe Ford, already believe that Kavanaugh has attempted rape, know he's lied about it under oath, and still don't see that as a reason to stop him being a Supreme Court judge.

Otherwise, why ask the FBI to investigate credable accusations, specifically mentioning Ford?

Credible in this instance means that the accusations doesn't seem to be invented and has to be investigated to determine if they are true or not. As it should be.

On another note which is related, no woman in their right mind would want to go through the whole circus of accusing someone of rape because in today's society their word is worth less than a mans.

The most common answer women give when asked what they would do if men had a 9 PM curfew was that they would go for an evening stroll. That's quite telling.

If you are so concerned about your women getting raped, may be Sweden should stop importing rapists?

Incredibly stupid statement from you, it's seems to be true that US citizens are on average dumber compared to the rest of the world.

Firstly, the questionnaire the women answered was done in the USA.
Secondly, is the definition of rape the same in every country?

"Sweden is the rape capital of the world", like "climate change doesn't exist" and "Hillary Clinton is a criminal" is a modern conservative/nationalist talking point.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Sweden
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/crime ... al-europe/
Have some necessary reading.

Bottom line: the increase in rape in Sweden over the past few years has more to do with legislative changes (offences that were previously classified as sexual abuse are now classified as rape) and a change in the willingness of women to report crimes against them. To claim that it is all due to immigration is misleading and a misreading of the statistics and their context (a TFLY specialty!)

Definitions DO vary by country. US murder statistics include Manslaughter which is "unintentional death resulting from injury intentionally inflicted by another person". Definitions of rape or attempted rape vary and are evolving. The Kavenaugh hearsings certainly do illustrate that point.

Thank you for demonstrating the arrogance, bigotry and prejudice that confirms my opinion that the US should withdraw from NATO because Russians are no more America's enemy then Europeans are America's friends. Any war that might erupt between Russia snd Europe would be a foreign event that the US should remain uninvolved with, especially if it goes nuclear.

Someone called you on saying something particularly stupid and your response is "this is why America should break it's longstanding global military alliances because the country literally committing acts of cyber warfare against the US as I am typing this isn't the enemy"

You're just super special. Prime specimen of a Trump supporter.

Actually, I acknowledged possible bias in the data that I cited.
The fact remains that sex assault is a huge problem in Sweden, it is getting worse, and the African and Arab immigrants are the cause.
This makes the outrage over Kavenaugh's alleged clumsy attempt at seduction extremely hypothetical.
Inserting your craniums deep into your rectums and citing Wikipedia as an authorative reference does not make the rape problem in Sweden go away. It just reveals your evil complicity. Reminds me of East German politicians who denied the reality of Soviet troops systematically gang raping German women so brutally that many died, committed suicide or were left sterile.

There's also a snopes article you should read on the topic.

Hey, I have a suggestion for you: Read that article, then debunk it.

You know, just like you did with the climate change thing.
