So did we. The US at least gives lip service that we might, possibly, be kinda ashamed of what we did. The Canadian approach seems to be "They're better for it, if it did in fact happen".

Nooooooo it's extremely not that anymore except for one complete oval office of a senator, it's accepted fact that residential schools were a form of genocide. PM Handsome Socks even apologized for it.

Christine Ford is scheduled to testify before Senate Judiciary Thursday morning.

That's give the GOP three whole days to try to prove the doppelganger theory, along with some good ol fashioned slut shaming and 'she was asking for it' narrative.

Considering the CHUD I work with was loudly saying someone needs to “shut that b*tch up” I think the narrative is in place.

Men who violently choke/strangle their partners are 10x more likely to murder them than men who commit other types of domestic abuse. Strangling/choking is just such a very brutal and personal way of attacking someone that it takes an incredible level of anger and violent potential to do it. This guy is a serial killer waiting to happen.

See now first of all, you can't even BUY Fosters here anymore. I think it's brewed in Mexico, and their target demographic are weird British and American Australiophiles. (I made that word up)

Secondly, everything else about this statement is true. Y'all are rank amateurs where it comes to colonialism. The indigenous population of Australia are the most incarcerated people on Earth, we have federal documents outlining government sponsored genocide, both major political parties have no intention of changing anything and the one in power refused to even say sorry for removing an entire GENERATION of children from their families and placing them with white families, in the hope that they would stop having children with each other and eventually just go away.

They also whitewashed our school curriculum to remove any reference to the wholesale massacre of Aboriginal people during the colonial period. And any traditional stories or history.

You can't get a job unless someone needs to fill a quota. Most enterprises refuse to specify quotas in their staff agreements. You can't go shopping without being followed around by security. Half of the indigenous representatives in the media and government are lackeys and will sell the entire population up the river for no identifiable reason.

Hell, you bring up the plight of Aboriginal people at a bbq, and nine times out of ten people will stop talking to you / change the subject, or actually honestly argue poo poo like "yeah but they don't do themselves any favours by X", regardless of the overwhelming evidence of systemic disadvantage.

We gave the South Africans a run for their money even back in their racism heyday.

I seriousally can't believe that Kavanaugh could think that if he just denied it until he died, the whole thing would go away. That's like waving a burning flag at the Democrats, screaming 'please do everything in your power to stop my nomination'.

quote:

After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.

I hope there is a hell

e;

quote:

Ramirez, who was raised a devout Catholic in Connecticut, said that she was shaken. “I wasn’t going to touch a penis until I was married,” she said. “I was embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated.” She remembers Kavanaugh standing to her right and laughing, pulling up his pants. “Brett was laughing,” she said. “I can still see his face, and his hips coming forward, like when you pull up your pants.” She recalled another male student shouting about the incident. “Somebody yelled down the hall, ‘Brett Kavanaugh just put his penis in Debbie’s face,’ ” she said. “It was his full name. I don’t think it was just ‘Brett.’ And I remember hearing and being mortified that this was out there.”

quote:

Senior Republican staffers also learned of the allegation last week and, in conversations with The New Yorker, expressed concern about its potential impact on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Soon after, Senate Republicans issued renewed calls to accelerate the timing of a committee vote.
