    Trump's base is full of people who hold their President to the same standard as an internet troll. Value is derived from the hatred he garners.

    Trump is only saying what we all think. This woman was an idiot to 'come forward' and an even bigger idiot to lie in deposition. Since she likes reading fiction novels, she should specialize in writing one. It's not illegal to do so.

    So far the only one is The Senator from WV

    North Dakota, Indiana, and Missouri have all came out with No.

    Also doesn’t appear that Kavanaugh has that much love with the citizens of either party.

    And I don't condemn Trump, I applaud him. Someone has to speak truth to power. Christine Ford's a liar, a bad one. Pretending otherwise is doing a disservice to the legal system and to real rape/sexual assault victims everywhere.

    They never learn. Bannon gave them a great tip recently when uber-liberal Maher invited him to his show....Something along these lines...He is throwing hand grenades....forget about noise....watch the signal. They simply don't get it.

    You're right, shall we examine the facts?

    1. "Witnesses" she claimed were there, cannot corroborate her story. In FACT, some claim they were never there at that party after further questioning.
    2. She has no idea who drove her home that 20 minutes that night...but she remembers everything else so vividly?
    3. Her boyfriend discredited her account of her tale
    4. There's ZERO physical evidence of her claim

    Do you know why you believe her claim? The answer is easy :)

    Trump was telling his base what they wanted to hear. Please explain why, right after her testimony, he said that he found her to be very credible and a fine woman...

    Nice haul in her gofundme account for lying. Half a mil ain't bad pay for trying to be the liberal heroine to take out a SCOTUS nominee by lying. The things some people will do for recognition.

    Too close to the truth for you? Ask anyone who had a traumatic car accident, they'll be able to tell you every detail. Ford is full of crap and you know it. Please keep up the charade, you'll pay a very heavy price Nov 6th.

    Because everyone went d'aww over that vulnerable voice of hers. Forgetting that the key of testimony is not how emotionally vulnerable or what a wreck she sounds like.(And if we're going to play the Kavanaugh game, her 'emotional wreck' voice is a hint she doesn't have a key handle on facts. See how that works?)

    The key of testimony is the ability(or in her case, lackthereof) to establish the facts of a case. She couldn't establish anything and she couldn't provide anything that *could* help establish something. Except some facts from a fictional book by a character who denied twice under oath now(once to agents, once to the committee) that this grandiose fiction ever happened.

    We must always discern the truth, and for that we cannot replace the word 'credible' with 'sympathy' or to let our sympathies cloud our judgment. I knew she was a liar on the outset, because thankfully her written words were released first, before the hearing and they allowed me to dispassionately review the claims/evidence with no disposition.

    The disposition just confirmed what I already knew. Christine Ford is a good example for everyone on how people deceive by pulling at your strings.

    You are right, and it doesn't really matter what he says anyway; people will always find something to complain about.

    So - getting back to my question...Trump called her credible and a fine woman because everyone sympathized with her? Did he believe the things he said, or was he saying them because he felt it was the right thing to do? Which Trump should we believe?

    The narrative? It’s shifting. The never Kave’rs will remain the same but anyone that moved to a no vote because of ford will likely come back as the lies get exposed.

    Wasn’t the Ford testimony that turned them off. It was his. Even people who supported him.

    Mostly because he felt it was the right thing to do, but also because Trump's impulsive. Note the things I talked about(IE: discernment) take time, and take the ability to cut apart a person's statements to find the truth and deceptions within them. Where in this, is Donald Trump's personality? He'd make a worse detective than POTUS, jumping on every lead without regard for proof or for consistency.

    After all, she is a psychologist and her job is to manipulate people. To manipulate liberals and leftists was a piece of cake. She had a whale of time manipulating them. For some of us, it was easy to see through her lies. I have always said, she's nothing but a fantasist.

    Big hair woman popping up didn't change my vote when Clinton first ran, and boot licking ***** whipped baby kissing politicians whining about someone bullying the bullies (Ford and her ass kissing minions) don't do squat to change my vote on issues. Want me to believe you got butt fracked by Dieann Finesteen with a strap on dildo, get it fracking documented in real time, write it on a fracking calendar and get it notarized if you are afraid to speak about your loss off virgin ass, otherwise forever shut your damn bullying mouth. You understand, bully?

    The P-Grabber is a lowlife, and playing to his goons does nothing to help Brett Kavanaugh (aka "Brent O'Kavanaugh")'s chances.

    Of course.

    But, what would you expect from people who believe that "1+1=3" because Trump tells them to?

    He could burn their houses down and they'd thank him.

    For the sake of the quandary, let's say THEY BOTH LIED, which seems probable. CBF appears to have lied about coaching people on lie detectors. BK appears to have lied about when he was in contact with Ramirez, whether he watched CBF's testimony, the Devil's Triangle, his drinking, his yearbook stuff, etc.,...

    Maybe you need to consider people's motives. Why would BK feel the need to lie about any item on the list above? Enumerate please.

    It seems like there is plenty of anecdotal evidence supporting the notion that BK partied his face off often. I ask you, is it plausible that he might have done horrid things to people and not be able to recall them because he was blackout drunk as a teenager? Be honest.

    Any 100 level social psychology class would tell you otherwise. Any stressful event you've been through would tell you otherwise. That is just not how the brain functions. Every scientific study ever done is going to show that you vividly remember some details, and do not remember others. Sharpening and leveling. Have you ever taken college-level social psychology?


    /////////////////////////////

    Trump ridiculing CBF at a rally was just par for the course stupidity. Playing to the adulation of his most ardent supporters, shredding his stature among any and all who remain centrist. Suuuuuch an example for our children. Did you see the teenage boy over his left shoulder? Watching the president trash a victim of alleged sexual assault?


    So. Much. Winning.
