I’m interested to see exactly what GOP hardball looks like. This is pretty close to a new concept. My expectations are appropriately low. They’ve had all weekend to either plan or cower.
I feel better now! /s
Barring very few states, sexual assault has a statute of limitations, and this woman has far exceeded most of them, even California.
To a majority of Americans, this is very obviously political theater. I pray that the politicians who are truly leading for the interests of our republic see right through this charade and march forward.
This is a tactically-timed event executed by some of the worst politicians in DC to not only attempt a Bork- or Thomas-style attack on a potential SCOTUS pick but to maintain relevance in a time when most Americans are hyper-connected and tuned into the shenanigans of an increasingly irrelevant governing style.
OK, has anyone in the GOP told the two retiring has-beens, Corker and Flake?
Because they don’t even have any balls to play with, hard or otherwise.
Christine Blasey Ford, the Democrat, the one whose life goal was to drump Trump really needs to call Anita Hill and see if she really wants to go through with this.
“Christine Blasey Ford, who went on the record with The Washington Post’s Emma Brown to testify publicly this week, ahead ^^of Thursday’s scheduled Judiciary Committee vote^^”
Sometime around 1438 EDT, I presume.
To me hardball means no testimony. This could have been brought up in anytime in the last two months, but it was saved as a last minute smear.
Testimony will mean just an accusation her made up, just remembered word against his. There will round-the-clock fake news commentary about how she is ‘credible’ and the accusations were ‘serious’.
They have forfeited their right to have this considered, and it should be treated as the vile smear tactic that it is.
Those GOPers wanting to play hard ball better be careful of the stones they throw. John Q public knows how to surf the internet, and they’d better have had no life before public service. Just sayin....
“GOP Plans To Play Hardball On Kavanaugh”
Don’t hold your breath on that....too many pubbie pussies!
I can see Trump doing this, the prospect of which will scare the living excrement out of linguini-spined Pubbie pols.
IOW, get me my guy or else...
Bwah hah hah hah hah....
Go get 'em GOP!
The dems are clutching at straws anything, anything at all - to stop Kavanaugh.
This bimbo, meanwhile, is a useless and destructive clown looking for her fifteen minutes at the Big Table.
They have to at some point, or they can just shut down the party and let some other party take over. From Thomas to Romney, Herman Cain, Trump and now Kavenough and other less prominent conservatives, they have been honing the technique. Liberals release the stories to the media and at least one even filed a court case against Trump (but didn’t show up). With 150+ million liberals, they will always be able to find someone with a “memory” about any conservative.
If there are no consequences and conservatives don’t fight back, liberals will do it more and more. At some point conservatives need to convince the public that serious accusations late in the process (election or confirmation) need extraordinary proof or they will be ignored.
The women ‘felt’ Kavanaugh wanted to take off her clothing.
KAVANAUGH DID NOT TAKE OFF HER CLOTHING.
The woman ‘felt’ Kavanaugh wanted to rape her.
KAVANAUGH DID NOT RAPE HER.
The woman ‘felt’ Kavanaugh wanted to hurt her.
KAVANAUGH DID NOT HURT HER.
What if men who raped women used this defense?
A rapists says he ‘felt’ the woman was coming on to him because of the way she smiled.
The rapist ‘felt’ she ‘wanted it’ because she didn’t push him away fast enough.
The rapists ‘felt’ it was OK because all women say ‘no’.
NO ONE WOULD BUY THE RAPISTS BS... AND IT SHOULD BE THE SAME WITH THE WOMAN ACCUSING KAVANAUGH. What matters is ‘what happened’ not what she was ‘feeling’...
ACTIONS MATTER... INTERNAL ‘FEELINGS’ might or might not have anything to do with the reality of what happened.

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. Fords 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.

Yeah hardball. BS. They are already planning to lose.
Pubic hair and Coke cans part Deux ...
