The Christine Ford/Kavanaugh hearing. Hmm:
- The right-wingers said they believe Dr. Ford, but why not believe her when she says 100% sure that it was Kavanaugh who assaulted here.
- Why didn't Kavanaugh ask for a FBI inquiry (like what happened with Clarence Thomas) to get to the bottom if this, could help clear his name? He refused to answer that question multiple times so the answer was basically no, he doesn't want that.
- Instead, he came out accusing the Democrats of a giant conspiracy, payback for the Clinton impeachment (he was on the Ken Star inquiry) and Trump elections. But how is Dr. Ford telling her therapist about this in 2012 and a few friends a few years later part of a giant left-wing conspiracy?
- What giant conspiracy? It's the women who accuse Kavanaugh, not the Democrats. They didn't accuse Gorsuch, who was Trump's first nominee and the Democrats were every bit against him as they are against Kavanaugh.
- What's the conspiracy anyway that doesn't involve Christine Ford? Either Christine Ford is lying, in which case she could be part of some conspiracy, but if she isn't lying, how is this is conspiracy???
- Why wasn't Mark Judge called in to testify? The letter from his lawyer which is just a few sentences isn't cutting it. Why is he in hiding?
- The right-wingers attacked the Democrats in general and Feinstein in particular but she simply kept her promise to Dr. Ford and there were other sources (like some of her friends) that could have ultimately leaked it to the press which forced her to come out.
- Republicans can go ahead and confirm Kavanaugh, but they have two choices to do that. Either they don't believe Christine Ford, or they do believe her but it doesn't matter anyway.
- Christine Ford has no reason whatsoever to lie. Kavanaugh has every reason to lie.
- And Kavanaugh did lie, about little things, his drinking behavior for instance.
- And he lied about the meaning of devils triangle and boof, terms he used in his yearbook
- Given his hard drinking behavior it's much more likely that he doesn't remember (also because the event wasn't nearly as traumatic for him as it was for her, obviously) than that Ford doesn't remember.
- Kavanaugh seems to have lied about him not watching Ford's testimony. According to the WSJ he did.
- We get a Fox News host on the Supreme Court, the same anger, lashing out..
- Republicans reject effort to subpoena Mark Judge
- All the times that Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh dogged a question in their testimonies (Ford zero, Kavanaugh, look for yourself)..
