Christine Blasey Ford was a political hack after all

Oh boy, Ronan Farrow tweeting out a story this time of a public event without a victim but an eye witness, instead of a story with a victim of a public event without any eye witnesses. I’m sure an 18 year old Kavanaugh being forced by his friends in the fraternity totally fits the narrative of an evil drunk molester, and not the shy virginal nerd he purported himself to be.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

I mean, he probably wasn't a rapist, but do you really think he didn't lie at all in that hearing? Not even about what all of those 80s slang terms meant? C'mon. 

 

And do you really think that utilizing right-wing rhetoric about leftist conspiracies is befitting of a Supreme Court judge? Seriously.

I own a vehicle likely worth more than everything you own combined and just flew first class (including a ticket for a 2 1/2 year old), round trip to Las Vegas and I'm not 35 yet. When you accomplish something outside of finishing a book, let me know. When's the last time you saw a 2 year old fly first class in their own seat? Don't tell me about elite.

He’s a SCOTUS justice despite the obvious shenanigans pulled by the left.  It’s not changing.  Time for you and the left to get over it.  There’s no need to keep pounding this drum.

So just a quick review on Ford:

*To this day there is zero evidence of her alleged sexual assault from Kavanaugh which she kept quiet about for decades until conveniently the left needed to block a conservative Supreme Court Nominee.

*She had zero proof that her and Kavanagh had ever met

*She couldn't recall when it happened, where it happened, how she arrived at the party, who she was with at the party, and how/when she left the party. 

*Out of the 4 witnesses she named, including her best friend---ZERO corroborated with her story. 

*Despite the claim she had nothing to gain from the accusations, she's received over $1million in GoFundMe donations and has a book deal in the works. 

*Katz, her lawyer recently admitted her accusations were motivated by the possibility that Kavanaugh wouldn't support unregulated abortion. 

It's honesty shameless that anyone still supports this fraud. and why? Because Kavanaugh was a little unhinged during his testimony? Who wouldn't be? They tried to ruin his life. I'd like to see how some of you would react if someone made a baseless accusation against you that was causing your entire world to topple around you--your wife is broken,it's dangerous for you to go out in public, your kids can't go to school, and your name is being smeared by the media. 

Just imagine if the Republicans had pulled a stunt like this.  The media would have demanded that every Republican in office, that has held office, and that ever hoped to hold office repudiate, condemn, and disavow the whole thing.  There would have been endless comparisons to McCarthy and probably Hitler (just to be safe...you can't pass up any opportunity to compare a Republican to Hitler).  Democrats get a pass from a media that had no curiosity whatsoever regarding the questionable circumstances and timing of this whole stinking thing.

The slang terms? No not at all. He was certainly evasive as to how much he drank. But I don’t hold it against him because the point of the questioning was to imply maybe he got drunk and forgot he tried to rape a girl...and the never did it again for the rest of his life. It was a complicated song and dance with dishonest partners that were trying to pin any dishonest move on him as disqualifying for the position. Because it would have cast doubt he was a rapist.

And conspiracy? Did you not pay any attention to what happened? Did you not see a concerted effort mobilized through social media and pushed through by organizations that received funding and are run by political operatives that gained their station by working for and cozying up to the exact people he called out? Did you not see a compliant media, desperate for any story no matter how flimsy, reporting things that were not only not corroborated but were flat out ridiculous as if they were credible? Did you not see the despicable act the Judiciary Democrats tried to put on as if it wasn’t their job to seek the truth as statesmen, because they wanted to hold the seat? Did you not see that Feinstein herself directed Ford to get Katz to represent her, and all the underhanded things that representation did, even to the extent that Ford testified her lawyers withheld from her that the committee would fly out to meet her because they didn’t want to cause undue stress to her?

You are smarter than that. You are far too educated in people of positions of power and the networks that support them to be parroting some conspiracy talk, as if there wasn’t a concerted effort towards a hit job that went up and down through the left. It was a strategy, not a conspiracy. And even if you don’t like Kavanaugh or McConnell or the GOP as they are or were, honest people that know the facts can’t deny it.  Or at least they shouldn’t.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

And for the record, I find this latest account of a teenaged Kavanaugh being pressured into a sexually embarrassing situation more plausible than any of the others. I hate fraternities for this dumb initiation shit. Peer pressure can be evil, and I feel for anyone that had to endure embarrassment to fit in during that hectic time in a person’s life. It has no bearing on whether or not Kavanaugh is an attempted rapist, or whether he is fit and suitable to sit on the Supreme Court.

Sadly, several on this board didn’t/don’t  see it.  But teams and shit...

Severino is correct about how much the Dems botched that hearing. Shockingly so considering how many of them were once practicing attorneys.

They almost defeated him. I don’t think it was a botch from a political perspective, there just was no there there. All it would have took was one shred of corroborating evidence to sink him. Unfortunately for them the plan backfired as the shamelessness of their actions became too apparent, because even if you want the smoke to kill your enemies, you can’t control a firestorm once you set it.

They blew it by failing to bring to the witness stand even one other person who was at the small party about which Blasey Ford testified. Maybe nobody else was available to testify that Kavanaugh forced himself on her but it's inconceivable that if he drank as much as she said he did and was as intoxicated as she said he was that there wasn't even one person who would have seen Kavanaugh struggle to get up the stairs to the bedroom. If the Dems couldn't find anyone to so corroborate, they never should have caved to the political pressure brought by the anti-abortionists like the attorney provided to Blasey Ford. If they did have such a witness or witnesses, they needed to have them appear and if they didn't do so voluntarily, those people should have subpoenaed and compelled to come and if they complied with the subpoena but wouldn't testify consistent with what they told investigators, the Dems should have charged them with perjury.

The Dems are simply incompetent and that continues with their failure to impeach Mr. Grumpy.

Boom goes the dynamite.

You are hilarious.  There is zero evidence he lied.

There is massive evidence Ford lied.

Just for once in your life try to look at the evidence and don't fall for the emotionally crippled thinking of your bias.

Finally a lefty who can actually think.

Democrats should be embarressed for even bringing Ford to a hearing.   Using uncooroberated evidence to destroy someone on a national political stage should cause democrats to think twice about the morals of those in their party.

Not that republicans especially Trump are much better.

There is a front page article in today's L.A. Times that suggests no corroborative witnesses were called because (1) Christopher Wray, who it should be noted began his DOJ career in the Dubya administration, didn't even order anyone to interview a dozen or so that Dems on the judicial committee wanted to hear from, (2) the White House did everything under its power to push Wray in that direction, and (3) the Dems felt pressured themselves not to look like they were holding up Kavanaugh's confirmation.

If no further congressional investigation of Kav is done as is likely it won't be, someone is bound to put together a documentary of the whole sorted tale and I highly doubt that Kav is going to come out smelling like a rose. Of course, that hasn't stopped Clarence Thomas from having one of the most lengthy SCOTUS terms ever.

Her best friend whom she claimed was there, did not back her up.

They had no corroborative witnesses.

Ford has made millions and will continue to make big money on the speaking circuit.    This was all about money and politics.

 

Anyone can put together a hit piece and call it a documentary.

1. There were no corroborative witnesses. Not one.

2. The Dems didn’t call for any witnesses because it was their strategy to hold up the confirmation from the outset. Everyone could see it because almost to a person they all literally said so from the outset.

3. The entire charade rested on the call for the FBI, and not the Judiciary Dems whose job it was, to perform the investigation. That same FBI led by Christopher Wray.

How you have followed this as closely as you have, are familiar with the facts, and are still maintaining like there is any there there is truly mystifying.
