I think we have done and seen it but how many people in jobs across the country will have accusations made simply because someone might not like you. "He didn't give me that promotion. I'll go to HR and he will destroy him!"
It was a little surprising to me that she said earlier in the hearing that she didn't know what "exculpatory" meant, as in exculpatory evidence.Every time she talks she acts as if she has no clue what is going on or doesn't understand the question. Then her lawyer interjects and explains what is meant. This is comical.
That possibility always existed.I think we have done and seen it but how many people in jobs across the country will have accusations made simply because someone might not like you. "He didn't give me that promotion. I'll go to HR and he will destroy him!"
If the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings occurred today and not in 1991, he would have been finished too. Different climate. Just the accusation of doing this, even if it isn't or can't be corroborated, is much more likely to do you in today than it was even a few years ago. Much less 30 years ago.This is about the point in the hearing when everyone thought Clarence Thomas was finished.
I've been at the Federal level for over 10 and see some bad things but also see the total opposite of the stereotypeYes we always said offsite brainstorming. I did 3 years at the state level. Lost all faith in the system and the national media. I'm very anti now and not afraid to speak my mind about the BS.
Let me key you in on things. We have two parties that care more about politics that right/wrong. One of those parties have made bullying an art form, the other party has made fear, trepidation and submission an art form.I hear everyone saying that she was compelling. Do we destroy someone because somebody's testimony was compelling? Or do we base it on facts?
If the vote gets canned over this, an extremely dangerous precedent will be established. We could see the collapse of American society as we know it.
Wait till the next accuser comes before the committee or they vote on K tomorrow. I think they will vote on K tomorrow. What do you think and why? Should there not be an investigation into the claims or ram it through?She has basically offered nothing new, nothing that can be really collaborated in any way. The one thing that she could have gotten collaboration on i.e. party, there really doesn't seem to be any collaboration.
