Can someone please explain why some women take offense when men are over-protective, yet have no problem claiming that a woman will be intimidated at a hearing?   Wouldn't Kavanaugh also be intimidated at the same hearing?

This is what I mean when I talk about the left galvanizing the different factions of the right.

 

To a leftist, this dialogue makes perfect sense:

 

Left: "We can't have this rape victim questioned by old white men! It's disrespectful and they will grandstand!"

Right: "Okay, we'll bring in women to question her so she'll be more comfortable and we can avoid the grandstanding."

Left: "We can't have this rape victim questioned by someone who's not a senator!"

 

Trumpers and Never Trumpers alike can hear this and agree, the left has completely lost its freaking mind.

 

They know the left has nothing remaining but whining, and nobody whines like Kamala Harris.

I have to give the left some credit here.  They've got the Republicans on their heels.  They're a step or two ahead of Grassley and McConnell's every statement and move.  They're daring the Republicans to confirm judge K and when they do they'll be off and running politically along with their friends in the media.  They will force Republicans to pay a political price as most of the public isn't paying close enough attention to see this as a well orchestrated smear.  They'll be fed 6 weeks of hysteria and once again the left doesn't need a decent policy position on anything.  It's the best 2 minute drill dems can execute.

As it becomes clear that it is possible the Kavanagh is the most prolific serial killer in world history the democrats should be given credit for saving us from having him in that position.  He might order the water supply poisoned and we'd all be dead.  They may also benefit politically but that isn't the point.

I agree with this, but there are three things working for the right:

 

First, Kavanaugh is highly qualified and should make a solid vote for the right from a constitutional standpoint. They need to..and can...get him seated no matter what;

 

Second, I become increasingly convinced the left's temper tantrum is precisely how you get Trump 2020. "Dregs of society," etc. Rape this. Victim that. People are tired of it, and the left has proven it's too stupid to stop what they've started...which is to say, I don't know that RBG can make it to 2024. She can barely lift her head up to speak. She's abandoned words with more than three syllables. Trump 2020 could easily lead to a conservative replacement for RBG;

 

Third, and most obvious...the right has nothing to lose because no matter what they do, the left and the media are going to give you weeks upon weeks of hysteria and smear. It's all they have because they have no message beyond "Rape" and Victim" and dressing up like giant vaginas and condoms. They will not stop whining no matter what, and unlike sacrificing yourself for Obamacare, which destroyed the left when they were forced to throw themselves on that grenade, putting Kavanaugh on SCOTUS is not something that will kill the right, no matter what the smear is.

 

It's long-term win-win-win for the right.

With respect, I believe it's important to acknowledge the ever-increasing violent activism of the modern left, and the increasing incidents of assault and destruction they perpetrate. The number of such thugs has so far been a small percentage of the left, but by all accounts they appear to be growing in number. Real liberals can be reasoned with, and are largely able to respect differences they don't necessarily agree with, at least to the point of being able to maintain a civil dialogue. 

 

We as a society can tolerate with a bunch of whiny little pussies. The violent "resisters" present a real danger if their ranks ever grow to significant numbers.

It ruins the narrative. They have it written as "Ford was intimidated by the men. She didn't have a chance." That narrative goes away with a woman asking the questions. The narrative must remain intact.

It was referred to the FBI, who told the referrer "this is a matter for local law enforcement".

 

It's a 35 year old allegation, presented in a very unusual manner, solely for political impact, and is outside of the FBI's jurisdiction.

 

Further, the FBI has already conducted numerous comprehensive background checks of Kavanaugh in which none of this surfaced.

 

The purpose of this is to have a SCOTUS confirmation hearing treated like a university Title IX investigation post "dear colleague letter", only without even having to rise to the standard "preponderance of evidence", but rather, in the words of Senator Schumer:  "Kavanaugh must prove he is not guilty."

And with the increase in the numbers of violent progressives out there, we continue a decent into mob rule... Isn't it ironic how they call Republicans "NAZI", but it is actually them who define fascism?

But the more violent they become, the more it humors me that in fact they support gun control...

I’ll try. 

First, the FBI doesn’t have jurisdiction. Local authorities should be contacted to investigate. But there is not enough information from the complaint to establish the time, place, persons involved in the alleged incident. The statute of limitations passed about 20 years ago. 

 

Senator DiFi sat on the allegation until after the hearings were concluded. So, being unable to find anything on Kavanaugh that would derail his confirmation, they pull the pin on this sleaze grenade. 

 

Dems hope to run out the clock on his confirmation to push it past the midterms when they hope to retake control of Congress and the Senate. If that happens, they will stall all of his appointments and we’ll have an 8 person bench of Supremes.

 

In part this is their payback for the Republican’s treatment of Garland a “moderate” whom B. O. Nominated to replace the staunch conservative Anton Scalia. In other words it’s a high stakes pissing contest. 

 

Finally, if an FBI investigation were completed, Uncle Joe gives the answer key to that final exam in the throwback video below. Please watch it to the end.

Quote

The attack-ads against this Republican write themselves. “Rep. Kevin Cramer, the Republican nominee for Senate in North Dakota, questioned whether the allegation of sexual assault against Judge Brett Kavanaugh would be disqualifying for his Supreme Court nomination even if it were true. . . . ‘Even if it’s all true, does it disqualify him? It certainly means that he did something really bad 36 years ago, but does it disqualify him from the Supreme Court?’ Cramer asked.” I’d like to think North Dakota voters think sexual assault and lying about it are disqualifying.

That's it, no other reason.  You look at every tenet of modern feminism, and it's predicted on anti-feminist beliefs that women are helpless and dependent.  It's such a pervasive belief thay meeting an actual feminist, who believes that women do have agency, is both rare and eye-opening.

But speaking generally, she said that the “largest misconception is that ‘stranger danger’ is the rule rather than the fairly rare exception.”

About 90 to 95 percent of victims, she said, “know the person who is offending against them.”

She also listed a second misconception: “People think that children would tell right away and that they would tell everything that happened to them. In reality children often keep this secret for years, sometimes into their adulthood, sometimes forever.”

True. I think their deeply held belief is that females are the "weaker sex" and they fight and rail at every opportunity to express their indignation, frustration, and outrage at any perceived "wrong" or "unfair" treatment - no matter how ridiculous it seems to the great "unwoke" masses. "Women were put on earth to be victims of men," appears to be a basic tenet that the Left is trying to make canon.

Further to this point above, @Buddy Hix, you will also hear the argument that the GOP held up moving forward with the Garland nomination because it was an election year, and since the Kavanaugh appointment is happening in an election year, then the GOP must hold up until after the election.

 

It's a common head fake by the left, who all-too-easily forget that the Garland nomination was coming on the heals of a 'presidential' election, while the Kavanaugh is not. There is precedent the way the Garland nom was handled, but the left is not interested in anything other than throwing a massive fit because Hillary Maopants lost what was her rightful place on the throne.

Plus...they're not asking the FBI to do a further background check.  They say that's what it is, but they're asking for a criminal investigation in to charges of rape and sexual assault.  

 

Having been through a few, on both sides of the table, and having had to answer for a criminal accusation in some of them, I know that you do not investigate criminal complaints in a background investigation.  The investigators do an NCIC check, look for police reports and charges, compile them into an overall data package, and send them on for adjudication.  They do NOT INVESTIGATE CHARGES THEY FIND, NOR DO THEY INITIATE NEW ONES, NOR DO THEY GO INTERVIEW WITNESSES AND VICTIMS TO ESTABLISH THE VERACITY OF THE CHARGES.  That is NOT how things work.

 

These accusations would actually be more effective if they were filed with the proper authorities, so they'd be properly investigated by the proper authorities AND properly recorded by the FBI for his background check.  That they aren't doing so is very telling: they don't want the criminal justice system involved, because they know they can't come close to meeting a burden of proof, so they're trying the accusations - successfully - in the court of public opinion.  Very Athenian...the boule leading the eccleasia in an ostracism.  They should write their votes on pottery shards.

 

 

[Tiberius]

Trump blathering out insults against an alleged  sexual assault victim is good. His argument that she was drunk is just terribly good. He's basically telling men that is a women is drunk, have at it.
