that the real political "rapists" are actually the republican senate and Don McGahn.

Why?

1) They withheld documents;
2) Not only did they limit questions and answers to protect Kavanaugh but they "assigned" a non-senator female republican
to question Ford and hide the bias of the republicans;
3) They need "photographic evidence" or "eyewitnesses" to, maybe, deny Kavanaugh;
4) They but their concern probably lay in the possible exposure of their "youthful indiscretions;
5) They, from the start, championed Kavanaugh and degraded Mrs. Ford at every opportunity and
6) The Republican ruse of "respect" or "comportment" failed when McConnell pronounced Kavanaugh's nomination a done
deal.

Of course there are many examples by the republicans ignoring serious "misstatements" (lies to rest of us) such as;

1) What is Devils Triangle? Kavanaugh, "A drinking game." (in the 80's at Georgetown Prep and elsewhere), a Devils Triangle
was a three-way;
2) Kavanaugh was in possession of having stolen confidential Democratic documents which he denied in 2004, 2006 and 2018
even when provided documented proof;
3) The lies of Kavanaugh are only surpassed by the partisanship (see no evil, hear no evil, or speak no evil) to nominate a
potential candidate who unabashedly shatter the primary duties of ANY potential jurist.

To go on, might expose my position on Kavanaugh, the Republicans and all the other "rapists" trying to provide Kavanaugh
the robe those men can all hide behind.

K is a political hack with penchant for dominance and vengeance. Doesn't come close to reaching the bar.

but those type of principles matter no more with the right-wing dynasty that is ascending before our eyes. They will subvert their so called Christian values, their love of the constitution, their belief in free markets, the idea of the judiciary for the sake of power and domination. I thought things were bad under Bush, but this takes the cake although a lot of the players are actually the same though enough moderates existed to keep a drive toward fascism at bay. However, they now have their best chance to succeed. November looms large.
