Politics Thread

Between this below, published today in The Hill, and this disgraceful exhibition of Tomfoolery & HiJinks in the failing effort to destroy Brett Kavanaugh, the Democrats are burying themselves in a Mud Pit that they may never escape from.
I've been around for a very long time and seen all kinds of Dirty Politics, but these instances take the cake.
Confirm Kavanaugh and Prosecute the DNC for Collusion. How the worm has turned, but you'll never see that reported in the CNN/WaPo/MSNBC/NBC/ABC sphere. They just want to burn the world down.

God forbid that any of us get accused in a high profile case where A) The Accuser can't give any details as to where, when, how and who, other than you. B) There are no confirming witnesses that back up the accusation. C) When called upon to provide the documents that allegedly support the accusers account, the accusers lawyers refuse to provide them- even under court order. D) Some activist press entity decides that despite over 30 years of distinguished service plus the written support, sometimes under penalty of felony, of hundreds of people who know and have known you, they will seek to destroy you, your family and your life. E) When the first case is falling apart, they try to nail you on stuff you did when a college student. This Kavanagh debacle is a country rending travesty.

God help us all.

Facebook is holding a reflection session tomorrow because one of their executives is a personal friend of Kavanaugh and went to last Thursday's hearing in support of his friend.

I find this quite funny. We know for certain that Kavanaugh at the minimum deliberately slanted his testimony and misrepresented others testimony to his favor. At worst, he lied. We know he lied regarding his behavior in both High School and College. We also saw him completely melt down last Thursday even noting a Clinton conspiracy. All this marginalia is enough to show he isn't Supreme Court justice material or any judge material for that matter. Why back him so hard? Are there no other conservative justices out there beyond reproach?

As if "Doctor" Ford didn't out and out lie about this whole affair since there is no confirmation from anyone, including her alleged best friend at the time Keyser, that there was any contact at all with Kavanaugh anywhere.

And when RBG finally leaves/croaks, or whatever, get ready for Judge, and Catholic Mom of 7, Amy Coney Barrett. Can't wait to see what garbage the unseemly Dems try to pile on her.

No. It’s about a potential shift in the ideological makeup of the SCOTUS. Gorsuch’s confirmation did not alter that. This one does, and the Left can’t handle it. They will do whatever it takes to not allow Trump to fill this seat. If they can somehow delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation until after the mid-term election, and get control of the Senate, Trump will have no chance of getting anyone confirmed the rest of his term.

Good question, is it possible a naive 15 year old girl who was just assaulted might keep quiet because she knew or heard the assaulter's mother was a DA? I have seen children stay quiet about things because of less, it is not a stretch to think this a possibility.

Again, Maddow runs a nightly show. She is going to make a few mistakes. She is actually one of if not the best of the nightly shows. You are going to find instances she made mistakes, she is human. But on the aggregate, she is right most of the time. You might not agree with her narrative, but her facts are nonetheless correct. Using liar liar pants on fire, doesn't cut it.

I just have one last question for you. Why hasn't Ford's own Mother and Father come out in support of her?
That seems extremely telling to me.

Oh, and Maddow is a partisan, shrill, hack. Period.

My memory may be foggy, but many of my classmates at X were a lot like Brett Kavanaugh, as students. Most however went on to be distinguished doctors , lawyers, business men, soldiers and clergy. It was college for Christ sake. I'm guessing Dr Ford is confused.

Ha! That is an exceptionally good question.

Now that you brought it up, which one of her front doors do you think they use when they visit her (assuming they do)?

NOBODY with a brain is guessing about her personal estate being imbued by George Soros.

What am I missing here? He was accused of something. It was investigated and he's going to end up on the court. What's the grave injustice here?

Honestly, he probably wouldn't have been the nominee if Feinstein didn't sit on the information like she did. If this came out when Ford brought it to her (when he was on the short list) he would have probably just been dropped from contention.
