Well said! I think there are low-info people who read headlines caught up in these accusations but it's past time for any reasonable person to think the Democrat party is anything but "Party over all." There are people who think blocking Kavanaugh (views on abortion, constructionism) is worth any price.Quote:

To elaborate on potential violence...

They are mapping out terrorism and clearly planning to project violence into Conservative areas of the country. It doesn't take much imagination to see how this could all come together during an uncertain time.Quote:
“Hey quick little question for military minded lefties: should leftists train/organize in a “insurgent” focus where they blend into a civilian population for potential attacks or a more “militia” structure focused on holding/maintaining turf?”

At one point he asked if “ambushes” and “assassinations” would be more effective in southern states. He also suggest using “easily concealable [weapons] platforms” so as not to “tip anyone off”.
And working to create confusion on legitimacy...
Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley seeks injunction to delay Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court vote
https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/..._injuncti.html
How many Leftists think hamstringing the Legislative using judicial activists ("judge in Hawaii") is appropriate? And on the very issue of judicial confirmations! To even ask this, risking a Constitutional crisis, tells us all we need to know about Dims.
Good info. Excellent posts Skip!
The Senate can ignore any injunction. What is that judge going to do?
I listened to a bit on the way in. This is a fucking witch trial. Dems are making her a couragous hero, trauma survivor, etc. Reps are being extra gingerly, and she has trouble keeping her story straight. Uses a bunch of scientific terms to bolster all her claims and keeps correcting things.
This is like a one sided canguroo court, it's like she and all the stupid senators are testifying.
If they get away with this rule of law is dead. Anyone can and will be tried for anything at anytime. There is a reason court proceedings have a certain structure, and these hearings just threw out all legal precedence and history
Fuck I'm mad. Mad enough to vote straight R no questions asked. Mad enough to voulenteer for a local campaign.
If the judge (in Hawaii) is stupid enough to go for it, create a massive Constitutional crisis.Quote:

We learned that accuser #4 was anonymous letter sent to Cory Gardner from Denver on Sept 24th (after the circus began). The media didn't really correct the record, they just dropped the story. We are back down to 3 accusers who are all named.
Twitchy (of all places) broke a story that Swetnick (accuser #3) was previously represented by Katz who is currently representing Ford. This is a coincidence and has nothing to do a Rolodex of willing participants...

Swetnick was paid a settlement. This, along with "racial discrimination" settlements, is a known racket.
Swetnick was also the subject of a restraining order from some drama with an exboyfriend in which she allegedly threatened him and his family well after their breakup.
Seems mental.

Testimony is a circus as we expect. We're learning more about the timelines. IMHO Ford seemed well prepped, unable to deviate from script, and very fragile. Social reaction is very divided.
Ford went to media before Feinstein...

Feinstein hasn't participated in the investigation...

Ford says she doesn't know who paid for polygraph. Ford's team has refused to release any of the poly details beyond what was released yesterday. There is video! The poly was administered on the same day as her grandmother's funeral so she says she was rushed.
All of this involved air travel which has come up multiple times. She claims she is claustrophobic.
Ford's team will not release the medical record/therapist notes citing privacy but Ford continues to refer that session as proof she discussed the assault prior to the nomination.

Some portion of those notes were provided to WashPoo but she can't recall doing it.

She was asked about the inconsistencies in the number of witnesses she initially claim and dismissed it due to bad memory. She still can't say where it happened or when. She doesn't remember how she got to the house or home. She thinks she was driven. She offered to draw a floorplan of the house in which it happened.
In spite of "bad memory" she remains consistent that it was Brett Kavanaugh.
Senate seems to be entrenched in camps but all eyes are on Collins and Murkowsk. They are likely debating the factual inconsistencies with the optics of "war of women."
I'm sure there will be clips, recaps, and more solid links coming all day.
Thanks for the update. I'm feeling like Erni and I can't bear to read the hyperventilating WaPoo or other clearly liberal media to see what is going on. Even Fox News had some liberal on there spouting off about how this is the end of the republican party.
What struck me as odd about Ford's testimony is she never said that she told the person who assaulted her to stop nor did she say "no", etc. If she did I missed it. Now that doesn't give the person permission by any means...but it strikes me as odd. Every sex assault I ever investigated the victim said they told the suspect to stop...unless they were incapacitated.
She also speaks like a 16 year old valley girl and comes across to me as very naive and fragile and not very intelligent for someone who's a doctor.
The Democrat senators are predictably pathetic and dishonest.
I also noticed she emphasized a few points that people were questioning before. She's been well prepared, no doubt.
She claims Kavanaugh covered her mouth to muffle her screams and that there was music playing in the room. She says Kavanaugh held her down with the weight of his body on a bed while he tried to remove her clothes.Quote:

I think you are right about the preparation and I think the fill in of these critical details was well rehearsed. The testimony was very detailed about the emotional aspects of the alleged assault but not the details that would substantiate Ford's claim.

Sheila Jackson Lee is caught on camera handing a note to Bromwich (second Ford counsel)... Speculation that it was questioning info.
