Just heard this on the news:

"There is absolutely no way the republicans can move forward with the vote on Thursday without allowing Catherine Ford to testify publicly and for Judge Brett Kavanaugh to defend himself."

I'd say that's about as fair and unbiased as you can get. Let both sides testify under oath. Let us (America) watch it.

Yep, agree.

Unfortunately, at this point, we will never know with 100% certainty what happened in that room 36 years ago. It is Ford's word versus Kavanaugh's.

It's been 36 years and I would never want to downplay somebody's trauma, I'm just saying that I want her story to be judged fairly and on facts....not emotions.

Would Republican politicians and City-Data Trump supporters be making a very big deal about this?

Yes, absolutely they would. Just want to make sure everyone is being fair and reasonable here LOL.

While your being fair, what do you think liberals would be saying about it? Would they be calling for the nominee to be thrown out?

So just to clarify -- you're "LMAO" about the possibility of Ford getting emotional when testifying about being sexually assaulted 30 years ago?

I'm hoping Ford can testify without being too upset because it may hurt her own credibility as republican talking heads may try to accuse her of theatrics. But I want her truth to be heard, regardless.

Also, how funny is it that Kellyanne Conway said this morning that the accuser (Ford) should be heard....


Yet Trump's own sexual assault accusers (all 16 of them) and Roy Moore's accusers were downplayed by the White House....

There are currently no facts though. Just a lone claim from decades past that was withheld until the end of the confirmation process.

Default Witness to so-called "assault" agrees that it never happened. Now it's She-said, THEY-said

Since this "news" of an "assault" was carefully arranged to be released far too late to arrange inclusion of the woman's testimony (if any) before the Senate hearings committee, it clearly belongs in its own thread.

Now the high school classmate of Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh, whom she said was in the room when Kavanaugh "assaulted" her back in their high-school days, has stated that the act never happened.

Kavanaugh himself has also stated unequivocally that he had never done any such thing to anyone, in high school or any other time.

She says yes he did, every other witness in the room say no, he didn't.

BTW, Christine Blasey Ford is a known Social Justice Warrior, teaching "Social Justice" at Palo Alto College where her students give her scary poor ratings and warn other students not to "get on her bad side". She was photographed wearing a vagina hat during an anti-Trump "women's march".

Liberal Hack Lied: Kavanaugh Witness Speaks Out, Says Alleged Attack Is “Absolutely Nuts”
by Jim Hoft September 17, 2018

The man who was allegedly in the room with Kavanaugh during the attack now says it never happened.

Via The Daily Caller:

A former classmate of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s is vehemently denying allegations that the Supreme Court nominee attempted to force himself onto a young woman during a party in high school.

Mark Judge, who attended Maryland’s Georgetown Preparatory School with Kavanaugh in the 1980s, told The Weekly Standard on Friday that the assault allegations were “just absolutely nuts.”

“I never saw Brett act that way,” Judge said.

Details of the alleged assault were first reported Friday morning by the New Yorker, which published the account of an unnamed woman who said Kavanaugh and a male classmate accosted her at a party.

The New Yorker story did not identify the classmate by name, but Judge confirmed to The Weekly Standard that he was the Kavanaugh associate the accuser named. Judge said he had no idea he was named in the allegation until the New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow interviewed him about it.

“[Ronan Farrow] said: As you know, you’re named in the letter. And I did not know,” he told the Weekly Standard.

Judge went on to say the New Yorker refused to tell him the name of the woman who had made the allegation or any details about where and when the assault may have occurred.

The Dems are so dirty they had to go back over three decades to Kavanaugh’s high school days to dig up ‘dirt’ using a left-wing activist.
