“This is a very important time in our country. Due Process, Fairness and Common Sense are now on trial!”

– President Donald J Trump

In contrary to the opinions of Neo and many others respectfully, I believe Trump has been on fire.

Anything short of flat out calling her a lying *Beep”-ing Piece of *Beep* sociopath is unacceptable and inappropriate.

This is not right, making up false rape accusations with the intention to destroy an man’s life and career is inconceivably evil.

As always, he is fighting back. The main target is, and should be, the Democrats and their media fellow travelers. But Trump is giving voice to the overall frustration of the base: that frustration includes disbelief and annoyance with Ford.

Ultimately, Democrats will shriek and preen, GOPe will scold and “distance” and that’s that. Wash, rinse, repeat.

As to the gutless wonders, Flake (and to a much lesser extent, Collins and Murkowski), we have seen what appeasing them brings about. Whether Trump should have attacked Ford is certainly debatable, but I don’t think those three Quisling-lites should be factored in at all. Better to rally the base to keep pressure on Heitkamp, Manchin and Donnelly.

Now then, Professor Moore. Is the email available in its entirety? This would be helpful for an informed opinion. He absolutely has the right to free speech. And, I have no doubt the response is an all to predictable red-faced SJW snowflake/”survivor” stunt with the predictable appeasement from the useful idiots in university administration. Nonetheless, I would like to read the full email.

Question: What are primary motivations for false accusation of rape, in order of prevalence?

Wikipedia sometimes surprises with honesty even in a political realm. Here is their page on false accusation of rape.

Check out the summary chart, Kanin (1994), and the Finland police.

Kanin looked only at one city, but used the acid test of an accuser fully recanting their accusation. They even analyzed the possibility that the recanting was false. Result: 41% false accusation rate. (OTOH, one FBI number is 8%. I think there might be other FBI numbers on this.)

The Finnish police provide one added motive, being black-out drunk.

In the short run, maybe not. In the long run, maybe his tweets give folks like Kavanaugh and Graham cover to push back harder than they would have otherwise.

As well as encourage the rest of us on the right that our indignation isn’t crazy, even if we might word our concerns more judiciously.

However, the new letter from Blasey Ford’s old boy friend has really punched holes in her testimony. Afraid of flying? Nope. Knows little to nothing about polygraphs? Nope. Claustrophobic about small, enclosed spaces? Nope. Enough dishonesty in her soul to use a credit card illegally? Yep.
Read about it here: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2018/10/02/breaking-fords-ex-boyfriend-pens-damning-letter-detailing-her-helping-a-friend-n2524939

The persona she projected during her testimony – fragile, childlike, fearful, lacking in confidence – seems to have been a con. And President Trump now knows it, as does anyone else willing to follow the twists and turns of this ignominious case.

Will not comment further.
