I'm guessing that is why Dino said "The FBI wouldn't look into it unless the GOP led committee or the WH said to."

How many you want? 10-12? I'm sure if we dug deep enough far back enough we could find that day that Kavanaugh bit his mothers nipple while breast feeding in public. Or maybe how he tore up his moms VJ during birth?? Then we would run with headlines like "Incestuous Kavanaugh rips up his mothers p." Yeah yeah. What ever.

Again, this might have been done to her by Kavanaugh, but she's had more than ample time to come forward and ruin his career before now, not only that, but the timing of her alleged accusations ruins all of the credibility she might have had if she had come out a year ago. It's just like a SNL Skit is how I view it. I am not the only one either. Many see it the same way, except for many of those on the Left that cry she was raped by him, which again is false to what she actually said.

Again this has already been addressed. 

1.  If the FBI was not looking for sexual assault, they are not likely to find it if there is no arrest or police report. Now that people have come forward, it makes sense to check out claims of sexual assault.  We are talking about confirming a JUDGE for the HIGHEST COURT in the U.S., some one who could be presiding over cases involving women's issues, including sexual assault.

2. Many women struggle to report sexual assault. Many do not come forward at all, for fear they will not be believed or be mocked, making it one of the most under-reported crimes in the U.S. In this case, the trigger is that the alleged assaulter would be a JUDGE sitting on the HIGHEST COURT in the U.S.  Were he not nominated, Ford would have suffered in silence.  So much for "timing."

Obama mocked the Special Olympics didn't he??
Didn't Obama mock Fox News as well? So why can't Trump mock CNN and other known leftist sites??
Obama mocked political figures, so does Trump.

So I don't want to hear your shit about mocking other people, we are all guilty of it, and when it's funny, it's funny. Take it with a grain of salt and move on.

You guys just don't get it about how Trump works. The guy is smart, I mean seriously, how many people get as much Free Press as he does? Good or bad it doesn't matter, his name is first all the time. Even during the campaigning it was Trump this Trump that. *Side Note Hillary speaks at Ivy School

No, it is not ok if a president "mocks back"--most especially when he is mocking private citizens who have not mocked him.

 Jeezus.  And if Trump thinks he gets to mock back, then his ethical sense is no better than that of kindergartners elbowing one another in the recess line. And no, Obama didn't "mock the special Olympics."  He made an insensitive comment offhand and apologized for it. That is a far cry from, for example, imitating a disabled man's speech and body movements purposely to elicit laughter from thousands of supporters.  And REFUSING to apologize.

That mocking of a disabled journalist was NOT funny, not the same as criticizing or even mocking politicians. Just as calling Senator Warren "Pocahantas" is not funny and not the sort of thing "we are all guilty of."

If truth, common decency and civility are still expected from national leaders, then it should matter if all Trump's free press is "good or bad."   Republicans and conservatives once claimed to defend these standards--whether "everyone" was guilty of violating them or not.

And that Trump's name is "first all the time" in reports of porn star payoffs, of tax fraud, of WH chaos, of pandering to U.S. adversaries while undermining our intelligence institutions, of insults to POWs and Gold Star families, and of alleged sexual assault does not make him "smart" to people who still care about the above-mentioned standards. 

Everyone "gets" how Trump works. Some of us just choose not to celebrate bad behavior.
