There is this thing called due process, where someone accused of something has a right to defend himself, except liberals don’t like it very much. They sometimes play lip service to it, but only when it has to do with covering for the criminals they consider victims of society. You Normals are “society,” by the way. But regardless, when it is politically useful to let super-convenient accusers trash people from a distance by feeding talking points to eager media allies, forget due process. Allowing someone to effectively challenge fake charges gets in the way of the liberal elite’s ability to slander good people for cheap political gain with fake charges. We can’t have that.
The sliming of Brett Kavanaugh by a Bernie donor is disgusting and disgraceful, and if Democrats had any shred of decency they would hang their heads in shame and spend the next two months ahead of the midterms doing penance to atone for their scummy act of cheap political theater. But they don’t, so they won't.
That’s why I hope that after he is confirmed, Justice Kavanaugh remembers and spends the next 35 years making the liberals sorry they ever pulled these skeevy shenanigans.
Let's review. As I write this, a liberal who doesn't have the moral courage to subject herself to cross-examination is presuming to besmirch the integrity of someone who has never had his integrity questioned in any serious way. Well, it has been besmirched in an unserious way, by T-Bone’s buddy Spartacus as well as by that idiot Kamala Harris, but they didn't lay a finger on him because the dumbnamic duo’s allegations were such transparent baloney.
But now we need to pause the confirmation so we can further investigate her inconsistent claim (Was it four dudes? Two?) that an ancient relic/senator sat on for three months? Or something. Sounds legit. Whatev.
Victim status, whether based upon truth or lies – because people do lie, and all the time – does not give you any special privileges or special rights. Instead, it gives you duties and obligations, whether that is cosmically fair or not. See, if you propose to inflict damage upon someone, even if justifiable, you bear the burden of proof. You have to prove it; the accused doesn’t have to disprove your amorphous innuendos. You have the duty to back up your claims, in public, and subject yourself to the greatest engine for the ascertainment of truth humanity has yet invented, cross-examination by a zealous advocate for the accused who is doing his best to show that you can’t be trusted.
Take the stand and the heat, or shut up.
Is it hard? Yeah? Is it tough on real victims? It sure is. Is it unfair? Maybe, but the only people who think life can ever be fair are little kids and socialists, and only fools design their society around the insights of either bunch.
Maybe some tough cross-examination of Asia Argento back when she was a #MeToo heroine might have prevented the activists from going all in on someone who now seems to belong squarely in the abuser column. People who tell you that “You have to believe the victim!” are afraid you’ll spoil their lynching if you discover the alleged victim is lying. When people refuse to allow the one thing that centuries of experience has shown to be the best way to discover the truth, due process including the cross-examination of the accuser, then it’s reasonable to assume that they are not interested in the truth.
Is she hiding from examination because she’s afraid that people will challenge her claims and maybe find exculpatory evidence? This mystery woman appears to admit to mental health issues, which allegedly stem from this ambiguous, third of a century-old alleged encounter, but who knows? We don’t know, but if you really wanted to know the truth, wouldn’t you want to?
Her claims must be challenged if we intend to keep pretending we are seeking justice. Let's be clear. It is a good thing, a necessary thing, a critical thing, to allow a tough advocate for the accused to forcefully challenge anyone making a devastating accusation against someone else by forcing them to prove their claim. No one has the right to expect people to go easy on them when they are saying something that can have such a dramatic effect on another person’s reputation and life. It's not pleasant, but it is absolutely necessary if we are going to figure out the truth.
I know. I do it for a living as a trial lawyer. I intentionally, and on purpose, ask hard questions of people claiming to be victims of various wrongs that are designed to elicit a response that demonstrates to my juries that the person on the stand is not telling the truth. And the other side gets to do the same of the people I represent. That’s a good thing.
It all seems so convenient that California’s doddering, crusty senator (remarkably, DiFi is the least stupid of California's two senators, and she's astonishingly stupid) decided to announce this claim in such a manner that Kavanaugh has no way to defend himself. Maybe the red Chinese spy Feinstein had on staff for 20 years gave her some pointers.
This kind of garbage is galling because it's indecent and scummy, but it's much worse than that because of the effect it has on our society. It destroys respect for what should be our shared norms and values. It's become very clear that if you get crosswise with the liberal elite – even if you are demonstrably part of the elite’s conservative faction – the elite is going to do everything it can, without regard to trifles like morals or scruples, to destroy you
As my upcoming book Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracyexplains, we are in a conflict between an elite that is threatened by the outraged mass of normal Americans who elected Donald Trump in response to the elite’s long track record failure. The elite’s push-back demonstrates that Normals have accurately assessed that the rules the elite points to are only meant to apply to the Normals. The elite may talk a good game about the rules and norms and stuff, but it does not consider itself bound by them. So, this kind of accusation is fine. Innuendo is fine. Slander is fine.
They have to preserve their power and position, you know. And that imperative transcends your bourgeoise morality.
Keith Ellison, Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy were all unavailable for comment.
But do you think Normals are just going to stand there and accept that the rules are applied only to them, while the very people charged with preserving and enforcing those rules blithely ignore them? Do they really think that a double standard society is possible and stable over the long term? It’s not – check out my novels about what happens to America at the bottom of that slippery slope.
Luckily, the Republicans are getting woke to the okey-done, and recognize this as a Hail Satan play by Democrats who realize that the Brett Kavanaugh Express is rolling toward the confirmation station. Heck, even some of the Fredocon sissies are upset by their liberal elite pals and are taking the side of Normals for once, so you know it’s undeniably outrageous.
Brett Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed. And when he is a justice on the Supreme Court, I hope he remembers what these people did to him. I hope he gives them the same kind of lesson in the power of payback that Clarence Thomas has delivered for nearly three decades. As Militant Normals observes, pain is a great teacher, and the elite needs to learn.
This disgraceful, disgusting, underhanded “Kavanaugh Sex Allegation” caper being put forward by the Democrat Party, spearheaded By Democrat Senator, Dianne Weinstein of California, will be the cause of a healthy political destruction of the entire Democrat Party in the upcoming Mid-Term election, if it is proven which I believe it will be, to be the meanest & hurtful attack of “Fake News” against an honest, innocent man.
We shall all witness all of the low life antics put forth by Democrats and their “Media” goons in their attempt to take down and disgrace Judge, Brett Kavanaugh enroute to him becoming an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA.
I shall leave the details of the week unmentioned other then to say that the first glance review of the accuser reveals that she ia a long time Democrat Party, Socialist, Communist, Progressive, Radical Left Wing, Trump hater, etc. We shall see how she purports herself under inquiry in front of the Senate judicial committee, this week.
I have long proclaimed on this site and many others, that the now leaderless, Democrat Party, since the election of POTUS, Donald J. Trump has been self-destructing itself, internally at a rapid pace.
I do not believe one word about some fairy tale Democrat Party, “Blue Wave” coming...but, I do not ignore the blue wave theory, nor take it lightly, either. “All” Trump supporters and voters need to vote in this most important election cycle...now, more then ever to insure that the Democrat Party never gains majorities in both the House & Senate.
I sincerely believe that the Democrat Party has made a fatal, political, mistake pursuing this Kavanaugh fantasy, and that this mistake will cost the Democrats severely negative in the upcoming Mid-Term elections. Someone inside the Democrat Party let their hate and envy of POTUS, Trump cloud their good judgement in allowing this game ender against Judge, Kavanaugh go forward at this time.
IMHO....the Democrats will easily lose six to twelve Senate seats and will either hold the House or gain 12-20 seats in the House. The ten (10) Democrat Senators running for re-election in states that Trump won are now in a “damned if you vote yes and damned if you vote no...a truly, no-win posture for all of them.
This Democrat Party, Internal, Self-destruction, “Kavanaugh Ploy” will destroy the Democrat Party for many years to come as a meaningful, active, functional political organization...IMHO.
Support, Trump, Support, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Vote for all Republican candidates in the upcoming Mid-Term Elections, Support the GOP...GOTV...Get Out the Vote and Support...MAGA!
I think that Feinstein needs to be grilled, in public, as to why she sat on this accusation for 2 months. If it is something that somehow disqualifies Kavanaugh now, then it would have done so two months ago, she wasted the time of both the Senate and the public by withholding this accusation. It is nakedly political for her to have done so, and is clearly something that she held in reserve for the sole purpose of giving Democratic senators in tough races the cover necessary to sink Kavanaugh’s nomination.
If anyone should be given the third degree over this matter, it is her. Even if he is somehow guilty of what he was accused of doing (which is highly unlikely), the one who deserves to be raked over the coals is this senile old crone.
we’ll see but i see posts even on FR with church ladies already clutching their pearls “What if this is true, or what if it happened after all teen boys...”
DiFi needs to be investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee, with a full blown colonoscopy, as to why her net worth is over $77M, why she had a Chinese spy as a chauffeur for 20 years, and why she sat on Ms. Ford’s letter since June or July, passing up the trifecta of opportunities to ask about it in her office during a one on one interview, in closed hearing session, and in an open hearing session.
Folks, are any of you feeling that this is just the last straw? Something has to happen in response to this kind of abuse and brutality against a man who, for many years has proven himself to be among the best of the best. The political world, when it stoops to this kind of underhandedness against an innocent person, with a guarantee that it will not have to pay a real price for such a wrong, is worse than organized crime. I have seen and experienced a lot in my lifetime and this is among the worst I have seen from the coalition of the government left, academic left and media left in the US. Right now, I also have a sick family member who has just had surgery and is great pain. So, real suffering comes without help from the evil schemes being played out among us. If you are distressed as I am today, take a listen to this beautiful anthem, written by Eddie James and arranged by Cliff Duren. If you are so inclined, look up the lyrics. They will bring the spirit of God directly into your soul. May you listen and let the joy of peace that passes understanding give you hope through this inspired music. I believe that God will protect Judge Kavanaugh and his sweet family and regardless of what happens now will use him for good in this very fallen world of ours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i60rIMmPrq0
Nonsense. Judge Kavanaugh has denied it because it’s not true.
I know damn well if I did something like push someone on a bed and prevent them from screaming etc.
It’s no use listing the left pols who rape and assault. it’s utterly useless.
The left does not care and it only serves to drive you mad.
Do you really expect ‘due process’ from a bunch of sick, perverted, demented jerks that have fully embraced Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Ones that lie about anything to get their way.
Ones who pay off protestors to disrupt hearings to get their way.
Ones who disrupt and disrespect the candidate for SCOTUS and his family.
This proves beyond any doubt, not only about how low these DemocRATS will go to stop things. But also how power hungry and despicable they are about our President, due process and especially the American People. These are true sick idiots!!!!!
You’re more optimistic than I.
I thought that the good old Alabama voters would be pissed at the likes of Allred and her fake yearbook signature trying to interject in their election would have brought out a lot of pissed conservative voters, but nope.
They stayed home and shrugged and allowed a lefty to take over their senate seat.
I ponder this question often. The only answer that I can come up with is that they're out and out psychopaths; they're just wired in this ruthless, evil way.
I’m pissed, that’s all I know.
And they better not treat this lying bitch with some reverence as if she’s a victim if they question her.
“Christine Ford’s Parents Paula K Blasey and Ralph G Blasey were the Defendants in a foreclosure case in Maryland in 1996. Guess who the Judge was America? None other than Brett Kavanaugh’s mother, Martha G Kavanaugh. You literally cannot make this up.
The list of coincidences continues, we’re sure this is just another one of those instances. We’ll let you decide as we keep bringing you the truth America!...”
I hate to say this because I gave my support to Judge, Roy Moore...but, I found out Judge, Moore was quite a flawed candidate across the board. Riding and prancing around on his horse in the critical closing days of the Campaign did not aid or help him one bit. He was in the political fight of his life and he came up short because of his own lack of effort. Sad!!!
Won’t get that far. Flake will vote no in committee as a final eff you to Trump.
She already passed one
"I will repay..."
It’s easy to understand the left once you realize the following: Leftists will say or do anything they think will advance their agenda TODAY, even if it is the opposite of what they said or did yesterday.
I hope the Rats live to regret this vile character assassination of a decent man.
Feinstein should be hanged, dran and quartered.
A thoroughly evil bitch, but we knew that already.
