    He does indeed. And he went to Yale. And he grew up in affluent Maryland among rich white people. String him up!

    There is no reason to use the g..... name for Asians. As far as what you said I have not been able to translate that yet.

    Her testimony deserves mockery, once again, It is inconsistent and totally lacking in facts or corroboration from others.

    But she does paint a very emotional picture as a rape victim (even as a victim who cannot possibly verify her own victimhood).

    Save the tissues for your other soap operas.

    All joking aside he does have this attitude of entitlement.it does not make him guilty but it seems to permitted his attitude that he is somehow entitled to the seat on the court.

    “I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me.”

    Trump is gaslighting the abusive relationships of this country and you echoing him promotes the reasons why women do not report.

    I am deliberately saying bad words, so someone else will be blamed for them. That is the logic behind this whole topic.

    Someone said you are a carrier of airborne Zombie virus. Should I believe you are a carrier of airborne Zombie virus, with no proof whatsoever? I think the logical thing is, you are innocent until there is some proof you are a carrier; I have seen no proof whatsoever that Ford is telling the truth. I do NOT need proof he is innocent or that you are not a carrier of airborne Zombie virus. I have no reasonable suspicion the Judge is guilty of anything.

    "Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported." (Hillary Clinton) In context she is a blithering idiot:

    You of all people should be especially sensitive to unsubstantiated accusations. The 3 people Ford said were there said that it didn't while they were there.

    What a cheap trap door you have. Anything said that casts legitimate doubt on a specious unsubstantiated thirty-five year old tale becomes fodder for you and your pathetic appeals to emotion. Your so called argument is really quite sad.

    Sen Flake a Conservative wants us to return to politics of priciples and rejection of destructive politics. If that a Democrat or a Republican?

    Principles and politics of destruction:

    "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of [those that believe women have no right to say no to sexual favors]." (Hillary Clinton)

    "We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of [those that believe women should be sex slaves]." (Obama)

    well then kavanaugh is just as guilty. again no one has submittable evidence, it is all testimony, so no one can concretely say who is lying.

    I wonder if those people would like to hear from the person who was supposedly couched by Ford?

    "I have never had anyone assist me with the preparation of any polygraph. Ever. Not my entry polygraph, not my 5-year reinvestigation polygraphs. Never. I am extremely angry he would make this up," said McLean.

    Do you honestly think that Trump was merely repeating testimony when he said, "she only remembered one thing?"

    "Her boyfriend?" You mean his allegation about her helping a friend with a polygraph? Want to know what the friend just said?

    "I have never had anyone assist me with the preparation of any polygraph. Ever. Not my entry polygraph, not my 5-year reinvestigation polygraphs. Never. I am extremely angry he would make this up," said McLean.

    You have not cast any legitimate doubt. You merely said that her testimony is full of inconsistencies (which is objectively, not true) and that her statements are not corroborated by anyone (which is objectively, not true).

    But you want to mock her testimony? Here you go:

    “I called my congressional representative and let her receptionist know that someone on the President’s shortlist had attacked me. I also sent a message to The Washington Post‘s confidential tip line…I stated that Mr. Kavanaugh had assaulted me in the 1980s in Maryland. This was an extremely hard thing for me to do, but I felt I couldn’t NOT do it.”

    “100 percent.” (Said After Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) asked Dr. Ford, “With what degree of certainty do you believe Brett Kavanaugh assaulted you?”)

    It is. And it is.

    Again you state Ford's certainty that she was raped by Kavanaugh, if we assume she indeed is certain, is an objective truth. And it is not!
    Kavanaugh is just as certain he raped no one, ever! Why don't you stop to consider that?

    The friend is just, denying it?

    Of course...why would she admit it....

    lol

    Light was shed on her.

    Also, we have yet to see one single piece of evidence that links the Judge to the allegations.

    As you quoted me saying, members of her witness list admitted to not even being there...

    This is shameful and I am VERY excited for the FBI findings.

    There is a significant amount of evidence that Brett Kavanaugh (aka "Bart O'Kavanaugh") lied and/or avoided truthfully responding to a number of questions, although it is entirely possible that he does not recall his drunken sexual attack upon Chrisitien Blasey Ford. There is corroborating testimony to his having been a frequent and aggressive drunk, drinking to the point of passing out according to friend and classmate, Mark Judge.

    A lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court is ample motivation to attempt to deceive the Judiciary Committee.

    If anything, while Dr Ford has no doubt that Brett Kavanaugh (aka "Bart O'Kavanagh") sexually attacked her while he was extremely drunk, her inability to recall some details surrounding the event is entirely consistent with traumatized victims of such attacks.

    Unless she craved being subjected to mocking derision by a lowlife performing before a goon rally, she has no comparable motivation. (Although, right wing ideological entertainers tried to contrive a fake motive concerning her parents losing their home as a consequence of a ruling by the mother of Brett Kavanaugh (aka "Bart O'Kabanaugh".)

    Americans are getting it:
    Would Dr Ford, hardly a political activist and clearly reluctant to be in the public spotlight, be eager to make up a story when the realistic result of being believed would be just some other conservative judge being appointed?

    We can use deductive reasoning...correct?

    Do we need to lay out the facts of Ford's case again? How none of it adds up?

    Here's a hot take: They might both be telling the truth. If he does not believe what he did was wrong or sexual assault or was black out drunk when it happened, then he could honestly say that he did not commit sexual assault.

    My goodness.

    So, now you're judging my thoughts? It was never my intent to get so deeply into your psyche.

    Given Flake's history of screwing his constituents, which has led to his Senatorial demise, and his back room deal with his friends in the New Democratic Party, it would be relevant to point out he was making his comments while standing next to one of the co-conspirators in the Judge Kavanaugh circus the NDP put on last week.

    As to McCain, he's dead, so who cares?

    Flake should never have campaigned on issues important to Arizona voters, and then once elected, screwed them. Perhaps he could have had a longer career in the Senate. As it is, the voters of Arizona let him know what they thought of him. And my comments reflect what my good friends in Arizona think.
