Lol

J U S T I C E !

And the truth shall set you free!
Washington Examiner, Daily Wire, Fox, Federalist, and Natoinal Review, all strong rightwing leaning publications, have this story. None of the major legitimate news organizations do.

It's always amazing how the Trumpenpresse manages to scoop all of the wire services. Truly amazing.
It's almost like they have someone in their press rooms who makes this stuff up on demand for them...

So...under penalty of felony perjury this guy says she is truthful, and then goes on about how she lied to him. Says he has no animus towards her....but then talks about her cheating on him.


Even more telling No one is saying who this guys name is. Why? Why does he get to be anonymous in this?
Duh! When a republican gives an anonymous source, it's "proof". When a lib gives an open testimony, has it corroborated by many, but then has a bitter ex-bf refute her, then it's evidence that she's a liar. It helps them to ignore that Kavenaugh wrote in his OWN CALENDAR that he's lying.

Try to keep up, these people like "plain talk". Truth is not manditory though.

Flake on whether Trump's attacks on Ford affect his thinking on Kavanaugh vote. "You can't blame other people for what the president says." He downplayed concerns Kavanaugh misled Judiciary about his drinking, and said FBI should just look into Ford and Debbie Ramirez allegations pic.twitter.com/YFNrJPkfQT

Questions


1. When you say a lib has given open testimony that has been corroborated by many? Who was that "lib" and who were the many that collaborated the story?


2. What republican gave an anonymous source and what was the story?


3. You do know "redacted" and "anonymous" or two separate things entirely, correct?

Psst....hey company 2 this is company 1.....if this guy shadowne comes for a job interview, someone accused him of being a serial rapist, he never got upset and just walked out...he must have done it....

You have it backwards. I find someone that does not have the intestinal fortitude to stand up for their reputation suspect.

Odds are reasonable that the Leftist Media didn't report that much - President Trump has his own way of circumventing him and getting information out to the public.

The words he spoke were absolutely TRUE and exactly what came out in the Senate JC Hearing.
They didn't like his "tone" (boo-hoo-hoo ) - He did it all in a mocking way, but let's be honest here .... how else can you do it? You almost have to mock what they attempted to do.

It's a sure bet only Democrats & Leftists are allowed to be "angry" .... "mocking" works for me.
Yes. Trump has a way of circumventing most if not all obstacles to what he wants.
Usually by creating alternative facts ,then, in this case, mocking his own alternative facts.

Anyway...
Ford said the attack was upstairs in a bedroom next to the bathroom. Directional left and right respectively.

Ford said it was in a house .. in a particular part of town after a day at the Country Club pool where she was practicing diving because she still had on her one piece bathing suit.

Ford said when it occurred .. and could give the nearly precise date, as it is associated with when Mark Judge was working at a safeway in town that summer ... she could pinpoint if that is what they wanted but of course they would have to question Mark Judge.

Kavenaugh s calendar put him at the scene...
..the calendar that became the focus of the questioning whereby Lindsey Graham began his rehearsed and contingently timed..unhinged fire and fury.

This behavior by Trump and His Republicans was predicted. They would move the goalposts because the other day they said the Democrats would....when?? When would democrats move the goalpost ?
They didn t get a chance because Trump Republicans beat them to it by halving the alloted one week Investigation. Why ? What have they learned that will prevent an up vote for Kav?

"It's not even his drinking and carousing so much as it is the fact that he acted like such a total ass hole to the senatorial body while being interviewed for the highest legal position in the nation."


Actually, that hearing was not a "job interview". The interview portion had already been completed, and the vote was due to be taken when this "witch hunt" hearing was convened. This hearing was supposed to take place Monday, but was delayed due to that woman's supposed fear of flying. This hearing was to look into the 36 year old charges of sexual misconduct by the nominee.
I can not fault him for being angry and emotional. I do most certainly applaud him for not resorting to profanity as many men would have done. In fact, I, myself, have been known to not call a spade a spade, but instead to call it a G** d****d shovel!
Now that all the accusations seem to be disintegrating, IMO it is a shame that he probelby won't be able to file lawsuits for libel, slander, defamation of character, etc. and charges probably won't be filed by any law enforcement agency against those women for making false statements in sworn testimony. I think they all belong in jail!

Emma Green from the Atlantic Magazine tells it like it is. Conservative women are angry and are ready to lash out at Dems in the upcoming elections:

Quote:
Conservative Women Are Angry, Ready to Lash Out at Dems

When many conservative women around the country watched Christine Blasey Ford appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, they didn’t find her testimony compelling or convincing, as many liberals did.

They saw a political farce.

“Honestly, I don’t think I have ever been so angry in all of my adult life,” says Ginger Howard, a Republican national committeewoman from Georgia. “It brings me to the point of tears, it makes me so angry.”

In interviews with roughly a dozen female conservative leaders from as many states, this was the overwhelming sentiment: These women are infuriated with the way the sexual-assault allegations against the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have been handled. They are not convinced by Ford or any other woman who has come forward. They resent the implication that all women should support the accusers. And they believe that this scandal will ultimately hurt the cause of women who have been sexually assaulted.

Above all, these women, and the women they know, are ready to lash out against Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
