True Crime for Survivors

New Documentary Looks at Brett Kavanaugh's Sexual Misconduct Complaints

1/23/2023

Well, it had to happen.  A documentary called Justice by Doug Liman opened at Sundance, looking at even more complaints against Brett Kavanaugh that never got investigated.  They had to announce it at the very last minute, and show it under tight security for obvious reasons.  This entire country is armed and dangerous, especially the right side.

Because the one thing you're not supposed to do in America, you're most especially not allowed to say that Kevin (or "male Karen" as he's known in the common parlance) did anything uncool with his junk.  Everything Kevin does with his wiener is fine, on both sides of the aisle.

Business Insider:

"Asked what he originally hoped would result from the film — further investigations or other impacts — Liman said what happens after the film is "so beyond my control," adding, "We live in a climate where, no matter what we put in this movie, it is likely that the people that support the status quo are going to keep supporting it, and I sort of came to the answer for myself: Maybe the truth matters. It matters now, it'll matter in the future, and maybe that's it."

Hey, if it's that hard for a filmmaker to even talk about it after the political firestorm has ended, if Doug Liman is freaked out about his lack of agency, just imagine being the one who got assaulted and trying to come forward because you got harmed.

Nobody in American politics seems capable of conceptualizing rape as an actual crime, like an assault that needs to be dealt with on an interpersonal level.  For them it's all some theoretical bullshit, just an improvised political explosive device that they can manipulate and toss.

This is why Biden-Harris, and all of their supporters, will never be anything but scumbag rape-troll bullies to me.  I voted for him because first Anita Hill, then Angela Davis said it was imperative no matter how we feel.  The Democrats twisted my voting arm until it snapped.  I voted for the blue rapist over the red rapist.  I will never vote again.

Biden got less investigation than Kavanaugh.  He then went on to say "I have nothing to apologize for," and made consent jokes all down the campaign trail.

His campaign and its followers -- The Krassenstein brothers, Joan Walsh, Amanda Marcotte, and Michelle Goldberg (who now apparently lives in Ari Melber's green room) -- trashed Tara Reade rather than looking at the very obvious problematic behavior of the senator from my credit card.  The amount of rape trolling I personally took from the K-Hive based strictly on my race and gender was inexcusable.  With friends like them, I don't need Republicans.

NOTE TO THE DEMOCRATS:
Rape culture is not like being chased by a bear.  You don't need to be just slightly better than the other team.  One day somebody's going to make a documentary about Joe, brace yourselves.

Hell hath no fury something something.
