    Schtuff happens....

    https://www.realclearinvestigations...n_kavanaugh_accusers_coffers_are_growing.html


    ....Christine Blasey Ford stands to gain some $1 million and counting from national crowdfunding campaigns launched by friends and other supporters, while she is said to be fielding book offers.

    The potential seven-figure windfall, which she says she intends to cash in on – while still asking donors for more money – has some questioning her motivation for accusing the conservative judge after 35 years of silence, and whether it goes beyond personal or even political justice. Others worry the largesse sets a dangerous precedent: Crowdfunding, which unlike political donations is unregulated, could be routinely used in the future as a bounty for providing political dirt on opponents.....

    As I said about Reade....any book deals over these issues should make the proceeds go to sexual abuse counseling or organizations helping these victims....this should not turn into a cash cow

    Rumor has it, yank59 will be writing a tell-all book surrounding all his many various escapades here on S2. Oh, and Sly is said to be willing to give him a sizable advance. Go figure.

    ...there is no book deal. Ford has nothing to do with Reade. Regardless, Ford had/has credibility, Reade does not.

    ...rumor has it that petard boy will one day write a tell all about his countless s2 embarrassments.

    I find it amazing how a guy living in Tennessee can have a guy from Oregon and a guy from Georgia living in his head rent free. :biglaugh:

    ...yeah, but he's got a nice rack.

    ...wonder how long before he once again spouts something inane about "the 59/cup show"?

    Not to step on yank, but i think it has to do with Blasey-Ford at least being consistent with her story and Reade has been inconsistent.

    ...there have been many convos/links/etc., here recently outlining why her story is so edgy... the forum search tool should give all you need..

    Yeah, if someone tries hard enough they can find a way to justify, or explain just about anything...well, sometimes.

    You have a fun little trick on not hitting reply.

    Your narrative is sliver thin, though.

    So can opinions. You do know why Blazey-Ford was called to testify don't you? Did you think the senate handled it appropriately and did a proper vetting by doing an investigation they said they would do and then severely restrict the time and info they could seek and no witnesses were allowed. There's your investigation that you keep crying for in a nutshell.

    I don't always use the reply button because I've found that some people are not worth responding to directly...feeding trolls is fruitless.
