That's like me deciding to find a cure for cancer starting today, then years, decades, down the road after I've succeed and when that news goes viral I explain, 'I never thought it would lead to this. The media and everyone wanting to know about something that could do a lot of good for many people. Who would have thought?' Either that or I keep quiet and just keep the cure to myself, because what was no doubt a part of the process once a cure was found? Using it for the greater good. Otherwise you would see me and Kap as the hugest scumbags ever because who does something like that simply for themselves? Nike deal?

I don't disagree the GOP ain't changing their minds unless she has some great evidence that has yet to be seen. Based on what evidence is available, there is no reason to believe Kavanaugh himself is the culprit. That doesn't mean she wasn't assaulted, but if you look at the scenario overall, at this point in time it looks like delay tactics from the DNC. Whether or not there is a little payback in there too who knows. Both sides have a little dirt on their hands at the moment, but we'll see who ends up covered in mud.

Obviously protesting is going to cause a stir. That's part of why it's protesting. There is no perfect way to start a protest, but what I'm saying is when you start a protest and continue with the same game plan after getting nowhere for quite some time, while you can keep at it, the odds of you accomplishing your goal becomes more and more unlikely, or at best, just drags it out unnecessarily into the future. The people who your protesting, are against your protest, so the best idea is to try and fit their 'mold' as much as possible, to try and get them on your side, without weakening what your fighting for. It's not that simple as if it only should take weeks, but how long has this been going on for now and yet some players are still kneeling? Then there's Kap and his Nike deal, which they no doubt knew would be adding sneakers as fuel to the fire. It seems like they are more so just trying to piss off the right as if they think their cause is completely lost and so why not go out with a bang. I do not see the brilliance in this other than Nike and Kap making some quick dough off Kaps supporters.

Sitting during the national anthem is as newsworthy as the cure for cancer. You heard it here first folks.

You want to play the hyperbolic analogy game? Fine. Two can play. Not believing Kavanaugh's accuser, the person who actually survived the rape, is like not believing a murdered person if she told you who the murderer is. Imagine the murder victim came back from the dead in a murder case and pointed out the murderer, whom she personally knew because they went to the same school, and people just tell her she was confused and say that there's no evidence that the suspect committed the murder. Also, the accused murderer is about to be appointed to a powerful position, and people say the murder victim came back from the dead just to be political. Then the murder victim asks for an FBI investigation, but people tell her to shut up and testify so they can force through the murderer's nomination, and the murder never gets solved or even investigated because it's inconvenient for the party in power.

A murder leaves behind a dead body. A rape does not.
