What does it mean, "I believe she believes she was assaulted"??

That was what Senator Collins said on CNN this morning.

What does it mean?

It means that Senator Collins did not believe Professor Ford but she believed Brett Kavanaugh.

That is the only way that can be interpreted, in my opinion.

I don't believe Senator Collins is stupid but a lot of people believe she is stupid...

Is the media letting her get away with that obvious lie?

How about this was a Soros led conspiracy? Why is the American media so fucking milqtoasty?

She believes Ford but the Power of the Supreme court to change all the rules is in hand.

She could go down as a martyr for the right. Or she could lose her office and be ushered out in disgrace.

Women have the momentum but for how long. Will their Patriarchs reign them in to a different way of thinking or else?

The GOP fought (although taking a gutter) for what they wanted and the power they wanted. They WON. PLain and simple.

We can all be pissed off how it happened. We can be angry. But the bottom line is they WON.

How will our DEM leaders react? Will they bring a box of plastic butter knifes? or do they have a longer term plan than to protest.

Women really need to learn how to be more assertive with men. If she can't do that, she shouldn't be alone with male senators, they might get ideas.

Senator Collins believes she can lie by pretending great empathy for the poor disturbed and confused Dr. Ford, who happens to be a Psychology professor at Palo Alto University. That means she knows what she’s talking about which is more than Collins does.

Collins is a female enabler of men’s behavior against her sex. That makes her worse than the men she’s enabled throughout her life and a traitor.
