Open thread for Kavanaugh vote
The proceedings are supposed to begin at around 3:30 PM.
I’m in the middle of a big family event, so talk amongst yourselves for a while. I’ll try to check in later.

Even if Judge K makes it, PTSD will prevent him from voting in favor of any future challenge to the Roe v Wade decision.
I got a text that Flake is a yes.
Murkowski to vote ‘present’ on Kavanaugh so Daines can attend daughter’s wedding
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/murkowski-to-vote-present-on-kavanaugh-so-daines-can-attend-daughters-wedding
That’s a nice touch.
Texas just beat Okahoma…and Judge K. is gonna get confirmed….it don’t git no better than this!
After seeing what happened in Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins, there have been some good things to come out of this mess.
I like winning.
Woohoo! He’s confirmed! So glad!
Looking back the injustice with Moore was a blessing in disguise. Them getting lucky defeating Moore with using false sexual allegations encouraged them to reach and try the same feat on boy scout Kavanaugh, who happens to have a habit of keeping a journal of calendar with his everyday activities documented, effectively serves as his alibis.
Woo! Great! So very relieved he’s confirmed!
“Murkowski to vote ‘present’ on Kavanaugh so Daines can attend daughter’s wedding”
Wouldn’t a nicer touch have been to vote to confirm him? If I’m not missing something, this just seems gutless, an attempt to appease everyone. I hope Palin does run against her.
(if people haven’t see it, Palin tweeted – @LisaMurkowski – I can see 2022 from my house)
It’s done. I await the riots
Yup. “Present” equals gutless. After all, look at President Obama’s record.
I’m relieved…but man…I’ll say it again, Security needs to be seriously beefed up around office-holding Rs & Supreme Court Justices…especially the newest two.
And I don’t feel one bit greedy hoping President Trump gets to appoint a trifecta of conservative jurists.
I hope that every parent get their children in to journaling and keep them – hard copies not anything digital which can be modified.
And, I hope that whoever is in charge of that list of potential SC nominees start now to collect all the papers, email, etc so they can be handed over in a hour or so. And, they need to be working on very deep background checks on their lives.
When Judge Willet was proposed for the 5th District, I saw comments about some of his tweets. People just didn’t have any sense of humor.
If there is a third vacancy (most likely due to RBG’s passing), I would endorse Joan Larsen. It’ll almost certainly have to go to a woman and Larsen is less controversial than Amy Coney Barrett, but every bit as conservative.
Wouldn’t a nicer touch have been to vote to confirm him? If I’m not missing something, this just seems gutless, an attempt to appease everyone.
Patrick: I think it’s a good day to be generous.
Murkowski could have stuck to her “No” vote and forced Daines to cut short his daughter’s wedding or forced McConnell to do something inconvenient.
I’m hoping tomorrow’s another day for his family. Ditto Mark Judge, who’s been roadkill in all of this. I have a suspicion that the U.S. Marshal Service will have a line item in its budget for a good while for officers standing between the Kavanaugh family and the James T. Hodgkinson wing of the Democratic Party.
Now that the confirmation is over, I’d like to remind people that this was largely Dianne Feinstein’s circus. But, don’t get mad; get even. If you live in California, and assuming that you are not here doing oppo-research, please consider voting for Kevin de Leon for the U.S. Senate next month.
ChuckU Schumer is despicable. Loathsome and 100% without honor.
Dear Kharma: I have a list of people you forgot…
1.) ChuckU Schumer
2.) Dianne Feinstein
3.) Richard Honesty Blumenthal
3.) Corey Spartacus
4.) Queen ‘C’ Hawaii
Please pay special attention to those. Then, I’ll have more….
P.S.) November midterms will be a WONDERFUL time to do a Whole Sh**Load of CatchUp Kharma!!!
Ackler:
I expect that the Republicans will gain at least 4 seats in the Senate in the Mid-terms. With a 55 to 45 Republican majority, and the Democrats still burdened by their disgusting battle against Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Bafrett will coast to confirmation, and will be a solid Conservative.
It is impossible to predict the house races in the midst of all this chaos and anger. The msm/dnc has created a hurrance of hate but they didn’t think very far ahead. Plenty of people have fathers, husband, and sons that can be harassed and damaged in this nonsense that they used to attack BK. These people now have an incentive to vote against the blue wave. It would be sweet if the gop widened their majority in the house. I think that is a possibility.
In other news:
With one vote today, the Senate confirmed one Supreme Court Justice, 74 other federal judges, and 172 Trump Executive branch hires.
Mitch wouldn’t let them go into recess to go campaign unless this was voted on. PDJT taught him how to win.
https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/executive_calendar/xcalv.pdf
It’ll almost certainly have to go to a woman and Larsen is less controversial than Amy Coney Barrett, but every bit as conservative.</i.
It all depends on the election. If, as I assume, the GOP picks up Senate seats, Barrett, if she is willing, would be a nice finger in the eye, She may be concerned about her children after this spectacle.
If any of youse guys is partying, please hoist one or 25 for me!
NeoConScum, your list suffers by omission of at least two of the All-Time Greats:
Kamela Harris, who really should not be allowed to move unless sourrounded by six Delta Force guys, each holding her by a choke chain;
Mazie UnHonorolulu, who I guess is protected by the guy with the forked tail; else she’d’ve been drowned at birth. (If indeed she was born. Perhaps she is the actual Spirit of Evil, wearing a costume to disguise her true nature….)
Also, I’d put that foul Blumenthal character in with the two of them to head up the list.
But never mind all that. I am happy for myself, and for the Kavanaughs, and for the country in general even if half of them are too silly to feel that way.
By the way, to us anybody to the right of Bernie and various Communist monsters looks “conservative.” But I have the impression that Kavanaugh is not as conservative as Gorsuch; and so Richard (Epstein) ranks them, IIRC. And remember, he clerked for Kennedy (who after all got some things right, I gather). I wonder if he might turn out to be a swing vote.
But never mind all that. This is definitely a win for Our Side, the right-thinking, anti-Left-thinking folks everywhere who are happy to see the worst bullies on the block take it in the chops. Let’s enjoy it to the full!
UPDATE. Sorry, NCS–you do have our pal Mazie in there. Good!
Liz — wet ink journaling, too.
I had a friend in college who refused to be around anything that might be a problem should he ever get nominated to the Supreme Court.
I too see this as great news.
Kai Akker,
As others have suggested, the dems may now have created a lifelong enemy.
Dave,
This demonstrated that sexual allegations must have some supportive hard evidence to sway Republican Senators.
John Guilfoyle,
Good point on security, real violence is certain.
Ackler,
As a replacement for Ginsburg, a conservative woman justice would be a delicious irony.
TommyJay,
K. de Leon is reportedly, much more openly radical than D. Feinstein.
CapnRusty,
From your keyboard to God’s eyes. And, McConnell is known for his ‘craftiness’ in Senate maneuvering.
I hope the un-RINOing of McConnell and Collins is a sign of things to come. They have done themselves proud. And Lindsey Graham has found a backbone. Things could be looking up! It’s about time. . .
Rusty,
Believe me, I hope you’re right. I have always been fairly confident they would maintain control of the Senate, maybe even gain a seat or two. But I agree, after this…netting four seats is a definite possibility.
Parker,
Actually gaining House seats is highly, highly unlikely. But…there’s a small chance. I think the Kavanaugh imbroglio followed by confirmation is the “October Surprise”. How this will play out electorally remains to be seen. But it’s far more likely to help the GOP than the Democrats.
That said, even a net loss of up to ten House seats would be a pretty great victory.
Oh Happy Day !
Kavanaugh is sworn in and the earth is still round and Trump is still the President. I scrolled through the general news headlines on my phone a few minutes ago and the lefties are stomping sour grapes all over the place. I am sure before the Sunday Morning talk shows are over we will find out that the Russians are responsible for the votes Kavanaugh received today. Don’t know how that happened but you can almost count on it.
I was talking to my son, in his mid 40’s who lives in Colorado and his delight in todays outcome was having one more judge who cares about the 2nd amendment, he watched Colorado get turned upside down on the gun issues so that was a more sensitive issue for him than for me here in Texas. We all tend to personalize the issues, 40 year old daughter in Georgia is anti-abortion and she is pleased to have someone who might make things just a bit better, perhaps re-visit late term abortions and stuff like that.
As for me, I received my reward for giving Trump my vote when we got the first appointee on the Supreme Court and now we have hit a double. God willing we might even see a triple before all of this is over. Who knew that Trump’s time in his first two years of office would see unemployment fall to a 50 year low, stock market all time high and two new members of the Supreme Court?
As for the mid-terms, Trump is turning them out in the swing states and perhaps some of the people who have new jobs might think the election is about the economy. I am also of the opinion that various minority groups are not as unhappy with the Republicans and the Democrats would like for them to be. About one more month and we shall see &
Oh Happy Day !
Great week for America, after a terrible circus.
Theory of democracy:
I sincerely hope lots of the worst of the Dem lies get put into Rep ads against them — and that it works to have more Dems lose more elections.
Dem lies won’t stop until the Dems “lose enough” elections.
It hasn’t stopped yet?
They haven’t lost enough yet.
[Reps in 2015: will keep being “good losers” until they “lose enough” elections to elect a fighter.
2016 – looks like the Reps have lost enough.]
Geoffrey,
Clearly there is a real risk to voting for de Leon. I consider the “openly” part of his radicalism a plus. Maybe we can get rid of him after removing ChiFi Feinstein.
OldTexan,
I don’t expect much change on abortion, though just following Roe v. Wade exactly would be a significant scaling back. But I think Kavanaugh has been clear that he thinks Scalia’s Heller decision is “settled law.” Hooray!
I’ve been watching too much FoxNews, but there has been an interesting theme, which is that we’ve been underestimating Trump. I don’t have conviction one way or the other, here is my and their thoughts:
Day one of Christine Ford’s testimony, Neo & others feel that Mitchell was too soft.
Later Neo thinks the soft touch on Ford was just right. All the Fox talking heads use kid gloves on Ford.
Then Trump ridicules Ford’s very limited and highly selective memory on the stump. Horrors, cries nearly everyone (including Susan Collins)!
Now Fox is singing Trump’s praise and suggests that the previously horrible stump speech is suddenly perfect.
Here’s an interesting twist. All of us know that G.W. Bush made a number of phone calls to senators, and none of us know what the impact was. Kavanaugh was a close and valued member of the Bush team. Who is one of the bigger groups of right-of-center Trump haters? A large subset of Bush people, of course.
Trump could have abandoned Kavanaugh when the going got tough, but didn’t.
Fox now proclaims that the Republican party has never been more unified (in recent years). Well yes, if Bush people are pulling for Kavanaugh and Trump, then …
What if Trump really is playing 3D chess? I’m not inclined to go this route, but seemingly, the evidence mounts.
TommyJay: I underestimated Trump. However, I’m not of the 3D chess school.
Trump has shrewd instincts and his combative style honed in a tough business/media world has thrown his opponents off-balance and thus served him well. Trump is the man of this time, much as Obama was in 2008.
Nonetheless, I think what’s really changed is the American people. Trump would would have been massacred by Obama in 2008 or 2012. I doubt Trump could have even won the Rep primaries then.
But the heavy-handed arrogance of Obama and the Dems to force their socialism and SJW concerns top-down alarmed enough Americans they pushed back hard with the Tea Party. When that was ignored and reviled, they pushed back harder.
By 2016 they were ready for someone like Trump. And even then it was a very close-run thing. Trump could easily have lost and I believe would have against even a slightly more savvy version of Hillary.
Pro-Choice delayed, but not forgotten. A baby…. I mean, warlock, escapes selection.
To drive home the last point in the above: What if Trump picked Kavanaugh for a reason that is even more important that placing a textualist and originalist on the SCOTUS; namely unifying the Republican party?
Isn’t it bit extraordinary that after 9 years of near silence, Bush picks up a phone repeatedly.
I’ll shut up now.
Barrett, if she is willing, would be a nice finger in the eye, She may be concerned about her children after this spectacle.
The People standing with her may be sufficient incentive to rule for a conservation of Constitution and principles.
One of Trump’s most valuable personality traits is that he doesn’t hold grudges. No matter what differences he had with you or how many times you have wronged him it will be water under the bridge after the fight is over and when you are on his team he will have your back and not abandon you when things get tough. He might get rid of you afterward if your performance doesn’t meet his standards but he is not going to throw you under the bus or get revenge on those who had crossed him.
Never Trumpers should be ashamed of their small-minedness, especially Bushes and Mccains, they are the ones who just won’t let go of the few bad jokes Trump made on them during the primary election and kept stabbing him in the back whenever Trump isn’t looking. They keep saying Trump is thin skinned but the fact is Trump is a bigger person than all of them combined.
Democrats are not your friends, Trump is.
Democrats never keep their promises, Trump does.
Democrats will stab you in the back, Trump won’t
huxley,
I agree completely with your multi-year picture. But I’m talking about the last 2 months or whenever Trump nominated Kavanaugh. My lefty friend said last week, “If only they had nominated John Kerry instead of Hillary!” Oh cruel world!
@TommyJay Andrew Klavan said he thought Trump attacking Ford was a strategic mistake. A couple of days later he interviewed Gorka who disagreed with him and said that Trump had to attack her for his base. Same pattern I think as you observed at Fox. I am still surprised that the Dems desperation apparently led them to think they could get away with the lack of evidence for Ford’s claims and try to back it up with those two increasingly incredible charges. I think the way Collins handled the third charge – gang rape – showed that the Democrats had overplayed a weak hand. Perception is everything, until it isn’t. I would cite the old precept: If you strike at the king you must kill the king. As to the midterms I think Scott Adams was spot on when he asked how Black and Hispanic men would be reacting to this incident.
I am pleased that my concerns were unjustified. This was an epic battle and a great victory with many authors- in no particular order:
Donald Trump for not pulling the nomination when it looked dire;
Charles Grassley for patiently undermining every Democratic tactic;
Lindsey Graham for boldly calling out the Democrats at the exact right moment;
Collins for not bowing to the threats and pleadings of the Left;
McConnell for orchestrating the endgame with great precision;
and Kavanaugh for having the courage to fight it out directly against the most withering of libels and slander- without his willingness to fight, none of others above would have acted.
Even I was played by ford, i thought she truly passed a sophisticated polygraph, then i just find out today that all she did was answering two very vague questions.
“Is any part of your statement false?”
“Did you make up any part of your statement?”
OMG, geesh, why didn’t they just flat out ask her “did Kavanaugh try to rape you?”
One must be grateful that the Democratic Party’s “politics of personal destruction” has been defeated.
At least in this case. At least for now.
However, they and their media and academic cohorts will continue relentlessly to threaten and intimidate, to lie and to coerce.
One may count on it.
Lest one forget….:

Don’t get too carried away with this small victory though.
It is now October, evil democrats never rest, have a feeling a October surprise against Trump is on its way.
republicans being warned to be careful when knocking on voters doors as incidences have occurred this evening. a young l.d.s. republican had to jump out of the way of car while putting up g.o.p. campaign sign.
Dave
My thoughts, exactly. Just as sure as the sun rises in the morning on or about October 25th the left will spring some ‘new’ reveal about the Mueller probe, or the President has a couple of love children stashed away somewhere, or Melania has a meth lab in the basement of the Whitehouse, etc. It will be splashed all over the msm for the next two weeks and by the time it is sorted out and shown to be pure fabrication, the midterms will be a thing of the past. Would anyone else like to venture a guess as to what the Democrats October surprise might be?
To me, the most important result of this horrible process is the “awakening” of Sens. Collins and Graham. I think their views were always of the “glass half full” variety, and that they always assumed that people ultimately are good. This has always guided their interactions with their Democratic colleagues. I think they both have now seen the unmasking of the Democrats. Graham’s anger as he lashes out on those he had considered his friends….no more. And Collins very well reasoned and evidence based conclusions fueled her revulsion at the opposition’s behavior.
I suspect they are far from the only ones who finally see what most of us have seen for awhile….the pure evil that now infects the Democratic party.
As the famous quote from the best episode ever of Star Trek Next Generation says: “Sokath, his eyes open!”
Cappy here, enjoying a little television schadenfreude.
Laughed along with SNL as they made the expected feeble attempt at juvenile satire. Laughed at them, not with them.
Noticed that CBS Sunday Morning is hosted by goofy, fun loving Mo Rocca, as Jane Pauley veers off her meds.
Does this make me a bad person?
Among all the deplorable Democratic ploys in all of this I think it is important not to lose sight of one very early one. That is Sen. Kamala Harris’ “Think carefully before you answer…” sham. That was a carnival barker act. A complete deception backed by nothing. Unworthy of a United Statest Senator. Actually, unworthy of a carnival barker.
Many more despicable things followed, obviously. But that vile act of attempted entrapment via falsehood speaks volumes about Sen. Harris’ ethics.
Would anyone else like to venture a guess as to what the Democrats October surprise might be? –Skilly
Still think it will be Mueller, who is tough and motivated. Maybe reach through the Russia story to something involving past Trump corporate finance. It will sound BAD.
If not Mueller, there is less to fear as scandal fatigue is far advanced.
I would not mind if it were Trump and Sessions who sprang the October surprise!
it will be Mueller
Remember when the “investigation” began, there was a lot of informed discussion about when he would have to wrap it up? The consensus among knowledgeable types was before Labor Day, or he would appear to be trying to influence the elections unduly.
Not only before Labor Day, but many said it would be by the end of July. Because of straightforward Mueller’s lofty ethics.
Various lawyers were recently reported leaving his staff and returning to former positions, so he is wrapping it up. Ethical Mueller has waited until well into October to dish it up. Why even pretend not to be influencing the election; everyone knows what this is about. Make or break.
This was not so much a confirmation process as it was a confirmation bias process.
Judge Kavanaugh knows so much case history that he can paint masterfully with all the greys in a big box of Crayolas. Others just have the small box of 8 crayons, and they live in a black and white world. All they knew was to oppose Judge Fill-in-the-Blank, the nominee formerly known as “X.” I even heard one SJW say when asked about the tawdriness of the orchestrated bullying effort: “The end justifies the means.”
Wow. They missed the Philosophy class which (would have) explained to them that the end does not justify the means. Rather, just means (method) bring about the proper end.
Tommy Jay, yes, DeLeon is definitely an open leftist. I won’t vote for him. I prefer he lose, as he is termed out in the California legislature and I hope that he loses and just slinks off into obscurity. Not that I want DiFi to win, either. Thing is, once these creatures make it to the House or the Senate, they are there for life.
DeLeon will be at the bottom of the seniority list for some time. DiFi needs a lesson (I doubt DeLeon will be a speed bump, but I’m voting for him anyway).
Treacherous Murkowski needs to be purged from Judiciary ASAP.
I have the impression that Kavanaugh is not as conservative as Gorsuch; and so Richard (Epstein) ranks them, IIRC. And remember, he clerked for Kennedy (who after all got some things right, I gather). I wonder if he might turn out to be a swing vote.
I had the same thought until the Democrats taught him he has no friends on the left.
why didn’t they just flat out ask her “did Kavanaugh try to rape you?”
Because her blood pressure would have maxed out LIE LIE LIE. They needed a dead-certain positive result. Look at what she crossed out in her handwritten note; she was working hard to make that vaguer and vaguer so she could answer “yes” to his question. One of the first words crossed out was “early” in the first line, as in, “early Eighties.” Another revealing tell on this sickening gambit.

Thanks, I had missed that one somehow.
“If I had been rehired, it would have helped to clear my name; but one of the purposes of left-wing mobbing is to utterly destroy a person so she cannot function as a professional in this country ever again. It’s one of the Left’s “teachable moments,” meant to discourage anyone who isn’t one of them from entering public service. As Gingrich’s communications director said to me, “You know, you can never eat lunch in this town again.” That is still very nearly the case today.
I have lived the consequences of “they do it, because they can.” And I can tell you, I am no snowflake. Still, if not for a very supportive husband and many dear friends, I might never have recovered from that ordeal.
My friends and I have been praying Psalm 40 almost nonstop for the Kavanaugh family. Fortunately, there’s a new sheriff in town, and he and fair-minded Americans want Kavanaugh confirmed. Like me, Kavanaugh’s a good person and eminently qualified, but that is not enough to survive the wrath of Democrats inflamed about President Trump’s election and their loss of power. Kavanaugh’s excellent record and once spotless reputation can never be recovered. The effect on his wife and children will be immeasurably negative and unjust; the only way to mitigate this undeserved damage is by giving him the seat he deserves on the Supreme Court. Due to the corrosive effects of New York Times v. Sullivan, nothing else can be done to help him. Once the stain of Google shame is bequeathed, the truth must be searched diligently.
To their credit, perhaps led by the unflinching example of President Trump, this time around most of the Senate Republicans have rallied behind Judge Kavanaugh. They seem to have begun to learn that they must oppose these undemocratic tactics of personal destruction, not merely to save our own freedoms and our children’s, but also those of these twisted Democrats such as Schumer and Waters. They may not realize it, but they can’t take away the rights of some of us without taking away their own.”
A good companion piece to the other AG article.
https://amgreatness.com/2018/10/07/kavanaugh-and-the-crux-of-a-cold-civil-war/
By Thaddeus G. McCotter| October 7th, 2018
“The Kavanaugh confirmation evinces the political abyss between us; and the bathetic depths to which this divide drives the Left to “win.”
Employing the subjective term “credible” for an accusation that has no basis in objective reality, the Left has rationalized its inevitable rejection of the Supreme Court’s “credibility” and “legitimacy.” It will refuse to obey any rulings involving Justice Brett Kavanagh or Justice Clarence Thomas. It threatens to conduct a future Democratic Party-led investigation of one and possibly two sitting justices, and a possible impeachment trial. In so doing, the Left perpetuates the political intimidation of Kavanaugh and Thomas in the separate and equal branch of government that is supposed to reject political considerations and administer impartial justice.
No, it won’t work. But because they feel entitled to announce this; and, excused, emboldened, and empowered by their fellow leftists in the media, they will sadly continue to attempt to erode our constitutional safeguards of equal justice under law.
…
Why does the fascist Left feel entitled to engage in sedition, slander, stalking, and violence to pursue it ends? Conflating politics with life and thinking America is beyond redemption absent a fundamental (and impossible) transformation to socialist Eden where everyone must think the same upon pain of ostracism and worse, the Left cannot believe that anyone who disagrees has good intentions.
…
Yet the pressing question for those citizens of sound mind and stout hearts is not what will be the next manifestation of the Left’s vicious political paroxysm. To be forewarned and forearmed is, truthfully, all one can do. No, the question at hand is how, for the future good of our free republic, the Left can be constructively engaged and political civility, if not yet comity, restored.
In the wake of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, this increasingly is a question only the Left can answer, for it is their calumnies and lawlessness exacerbating the political divide and deepening the America’s cold civil war. Best the Left ponder and devise an answer soon.
If they do not, one day, historians will record that the violent Left had turned Steve Scalise into our Charles Sumner.”
The symbolic impeachment of Thomas is already beginning.
I note here the irony of demanding the removal of the name of a building by students who… never realized it had a name… but gee whiz they were totally threatened by… that name they never heard referred to.

Students demand Clarence Thomas’ name be stripped from building where he was altar boy
BY SCOTT BERSON

” “I don’t want any other female who has hopes and dreams to have to walk through the doors of that building. They shouldn’t have to be subjugated to that toxic feeling,” said recent graduate Sage Lucero, who started the petition, according to WJCL.
…
“In the four years I attended Savannah College of Art and Design, I wasn’t aware there was in fact a building named after Clarence Thomas until it was brought to my attention due to the recent occurrences in the Supreme Court involving Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh,” Lucero wrote in the petition.
…
Lucero wants the school to rename the building after Anita Hill.
“It’s utterly disgraceful to me that I attended a school where a building was named after a sexual predator. And not just any sexual predator, one who wrongfully won against a woman’s word,” she wrote.
When asked their opinion, many students said they didn’t even know the building had been named for Clarence Thomas, WJCL reported.”
* * *
Watch the news to see how long until this one, sane student is expelled or driven out by harassment (thanks for printing his full name, oh brave reporter).
“One student, senior Andrew Paynter, said he didn’t have an opinion about renaming the building, but he took issue with the language on the petition, according to WJCL.
“The claims were of sexual harassment in the workplace. Being a sexual predator means you violently sexually assault people,” the student said, according to the station. “Their bold claims seem to be too harmful. In our society, you just can’t accuse people of things.” ”
Sorry, Andrew: yes, you can.
You just can’t always convince everyone you are correct.

“Anyone who says we must believe her because she’s a woman needs to have a talk with any family law judge in America.
But before I get hate mail calling me a misogynist, or stoke the flames of rage burning in the dark corners of the incel havens of the Internet, let me note that everything said above about women lying can be said with as much force about men. Men lie for the same reasons women lie. To gain a strategic advantage, to save face, to exact revenge, to secure an economic advantage. Men and women lie for the myriad of reasons that people have lied since the dawn of time. (For those of you who remember the 10 Commandments, it’s in there, so God must have known that people are prone to lying.)”
Linked below is a video of anti-feminist woman professor view on Dr. Ford’s credentials and motives; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFL6k5yOAFM
It fills in a lot of blank spaces concerning Ford’s performance and what must be at least a near psychosis. Oddly I have yet to see any denunciations of Ford as nuts although her lies, the bankruptcy court involving her parents and Judge Kavanaugh’s mother and her nutty political activism all indicates some sort of severe psychological problem.
Watch for Netflix and HBO as well as some of the major studios produce encomia-movies honoring her. Julianne Moore will probably play her in one of these, maybe all of them.
Does anyone remember an episode of Bonanza in which Little Joe is falsely accused of trying to rape a girl until it finally becomes apparent that she is insane?
