I think DiFi’s original game plan was to win November’s election...settle in til summer of 2019, and retire...letting new Gov (assuming he wins) Gavin Newsom to pick himself to assume the office.
If you check the numbers right now....Newsom is real iffy on the polls, and might actually lose.
Is it really a “disclosure”?
Or is it a wild, unsourced made up allegation?
Is the Times admitting that these “October” suprises are no longer working?
The so called informer needs to be name...and her familiy and friends and their employers...
Perhaps they should consider a rule that once the confirmation hearing is completed no new evidence will be considered.
Maybe “crying wolf” every single time.. isn’t working for the dimwits anymore???
Far from sinking the nomination, this is an opportunity for people to experience how radical and anti-experience the #MeToo “movement” is.
Sex is fraught with ambiguity. This is everyone’s experience, without exception (we all know this).
There is no man alive who, as a teenager, didn’t awkwardly boot a few ground balls and swing and miss at a few pitches before hitting his first home run.
So, in interpreting a story like this one (and I presume something like this actually happened), you have to use probability.
1) Kavanaugh is a sexual predator, a rapist, and he selected a random victim and attacked her (OK, at a “party”), and has never done that again after age 17 (or we would surely know of it). Probability .000001
2) He’s a normal man, who was once a boy, and while trying to decipher the eternal question of “what does this female behavior mean (does she want it?)” made a mess of things and, in the end, nobody was harmed but two kids felt bad. Probability 99.999990.
The thing is, what these leftist dummies do not seem to grasp, is that their preferred narratives, like #1 here, do not correspond with anyone’s lived experience, and the attempt to force people to conform to anti-experience is creating enormous tension which, when it breaks, will bring down their cloud castles, probably violently.
Why is any of this a surprise? This is standard procedure for the RATS to bring up supposed allegations against their political enemies. DiFi, in a sane world, would be investigated for the millions her husband’s businesses have gotten through federal contracts she no doubt had a hand in obtaining. DiFi is a Queen RAT among RATS!
nice to see things working out for the a##es
I can’t help but being struck by the fact that DiFi’s “bombshell” disclosure of a anonymously-writen letter charging an incident that happened in Kavanaugh’s high school days has gotten a lot more press than the fact that DiFi had a Chinese spy working for her for many years.
If we’re going to save our precious American experiment in self-government, we need to stop supporting folks like Kavanaugh. Not because of stuff like this latest claim, but because of what we actually know he’s done. Folks who’ve been here at FreeRepublic since the Clinton administration can surely understand my disgust at Kavanaugh’s role in covering up the apparent murder of Vince Foster.
Yes, I’m glad that Hillary isn’t president. And yes, I’m glad that Republican voters rejected the whole bunch of GOP big names in the 2015-2016 nomination campaign. But Kavanaugh seems like the kind of nominee that a Bush would have chosen.
Sudden new smear attacks by democrats in Supreme Court confirmation fights are not new.
Nobody buys the Democrats’ standard BS anymore. They play that card practically every time a Republican president nominates a Supreme Court justice and have for 30 years now.
“Disclosure???” How about lie?
Kavanaugh should say something like “I also categorically deny that 10 years ago, I stole Sen. Leahy’s sandwich out of the fridge.”
