My goodness they never quit. Chrissy was believable? Really? With all her inconsistencies ? Are they nuts? Chrissys own named witnesses didn’t believe her story.

The story does not seem as bad as it could have been coming from reporters who are DNC shills.

I look them up in Wikileaks, too.

Ford is a Fraud. What more can I say. Collins said it better than anyone else could. Took a woman senator to say it. She has guts!

....”the most striking specimen of ‘vocal fry’....to manipulate.”.....

Is exactly right. Ford wasn't very good at it because it was so obvious her intentions were to manipulate. I believe she is accustomed to manipulating every day.

Also the women protesting in Washington were likewise.....in other words they were screaming "since I've been sexually assaulted in my life Kavanaugh is to blame."

This is totally FAKE NEWS - Justice K had already submitted his testimony the day BEFORE.

Really good Fiction writers like Daniel Silva can’t weave a fantastic story with a ounce of truth. The NYTimes use to be careful about stretching facts, not anymore, they’ve became pure tabloid trash. I doubt anyone in the WH ignores the Presidents phone call. I see stacks of The NY Times all over NYC, don’t know why they keep printing the daily rag...

Donald F. McGahn II, his White House counsel, refused to take the call [from his boss, President Trump].

Does anyone think McGahn, has balls this big? Refused to take the call? From the Donald?

Didn't he see himself being dropped from Air Force One at 39,000 feet?

President Trump called Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, and they agreed she was impressive.


Nope.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
I've no idea.

That’s standard practice in journalism. Address the person with their title in the beginning (which they did) and then use Mr. or Mrs. (or whatever) from then on. They did it with Obama too. Saves ink.

>>>they agreed she was impressive<<<

This is not a compliment or confirmation of her message. She was impressive in her ability to fool many, and use a number of speech and presentation tricks to pull off her fraud.

In the same way, if someone makes me some food that’s really awful, but they are seeking a compliment, I’ll tell them that the flavor is “interesting.” Which is a truth, but not the subtext beneath it. Trump is a master at this kind of disguised contempt.

Judge Kavanaugh did not need convincing. He was brimming with rage and resentment, so when he went before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he did not hold back. His fire-and-fury performance — “you have replaced ‘advice and consent’ with search and destroy” — suddenly turned the tables.

So funny! Even in trying to explain why an honest man would want to push back against the smears he was being tarred with, the Times has to use their D-Party donkey-whistle words like "rage," "resentment," and "fire-and-fury" to reassure their readership that the Times still hates Kavanaugh.

Kinda makes you think that McGahn may be one of the leakers in the White House. How else does a story like this get out?

Or they just lied. The WaPo claimed BEFORE Kavanaugh's appearance that Trump called HIM and urged him to "fight back hard"
