[A reader alerted me to another gem of the FUE's logic.  He takes to task those who criticize the People's Republic of Kalifornia, and still (gasp!) take their leisure at the state's awesomely scenic locales.  The man's brain cannot separate terribly gone wrong social policies from the state's natural beauty, as if eschewing one requires rejecting everything that is still good about the state, and that mainly because the progressives have yet to eliminate the last vestiges of such enjoyments (e.g. denying/limiting public access to TBD 'wildlands').  This thinking by local lefties is replicated in Sacramento, because those are the idiots that the gimmes all over the state have now voted into power.  And that California now has achieved the nation's highest poverty rate gives additional depth to the ignorance of these leftwing loonies.  gjr]

    A glance at headlines…..
    ROFLMAO.
    “We were promised proof that Brett Kavanaugh, along with his friend Mark Judge, had been running a “gang rape” ring. Instead, we got an unsubstantiated statement from a single accuser, the only details of which (the names and a convenient reference to “Beach Week”) were based on information that was already publicly available. In a statement posted on Twitter, Julie Swetnick alleged that Judge Kavanaugh was present when friends of his engaged in serious criminal misconduct. Per Swetnick, who claimed to have been to at least ten parties with the pair, Kavanaugh often got “excessively” drunk and tried “fondling and grabbing” girls without their consent. The women were “disoriented” with drugs and alcohol and then “gang raped.”
    As evidence for this, Swetnick provided . . . nothing. She named neither witnesses nor victims, could identify none of the perpetrators except for Kavanaugh and Judge, failed notably to decide on the year in which these alleged crimes took place, and hedged in her language such that the only concrete accusation of Brett Kavanaugh’s involvement with “gang rape” was that she saw him drunk once near a door.”
    https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/09/kavanaugh-nomination-michael-avenatti/
    —-Judiciary Committee Staff Have Asked Avenatti for Evidence Six Times
    —A Rhode Island man who accused Brett Kavanaugh of raping a “close associate of his” on a boat in 1985 recanted just hours after the claims were made public Wednesday.
    An individual who accused Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of rape also appeared to accuse President Donald Trump of manslaughter and called for a military coup on Twitter.
    A Twitter account belonging to an individual who accused Brett Kavanaugh of rape also accused President Donald Trump of “manslaughter” and repeatedly called for military officials to overthrow the president in a coup, Senate records and a review of tweets show.
    —-The ridiculous secondary and tertiary accusations mean that Christine Blasey Ford’s stance was more believable when she stood alone.

    Jen Rubin Falsely Claims Prosecutor Hired to Question Ford Is Linked to Arpaio
    Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin falsely claimed in a Wednesday morning tweet that Rachel Mitchell, the Arizona prosecutor tapped to question Kavanaugh and his accuser Thursday, is affiliated with controversial former sheriff Joe Arpaio.

    The proceedings threatened to be upended by late-breaking developments: Wednesday evening, Judiciary Committee Republicans revealed that on Monday, they conducted their “first interview with a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of his complaint.” They conducted a second interview the next day.
    On Wednesday, Republicans said, they received a “more in-depth written statement from the man interviewed twice previously who believes he, not Judge Kavanuagh, had the encounter in question with Dr. Ford.”

    DonB, thanks for the fox article. It’s too funny.
    “The person making the accusation on Twitter had also advocated removing President Trump from the White House by means of military coup. ”

    “Ramirez has acknowledged not being sure whether Kavanaugh had assaulted her until last week, after she spent days consulting with her attorney.”

    “For example, Julie Swetnick, who emerged Wednesday to accuse Kavanaugh of participating in “gang rapes” and rape “trains” in the 1980s, had a restraining order filed against her by an ex-boyfriend, Politico reported.
    “Right after I broke up with her, she was threatening my family, threatening my wife and threatening to do harm to my baby at that time,” Richard Vinneccy told Politico. “I know a lot about her. … She’s not credible at all. Not at all.””

    “Ford will also describe one girl, “my friend Leland Ingham,” as also in attendance. Ingham, in a previously released statement, has also denied knowing Kavanaugh or having information about the alleged assault.”

    lol. What a load of bollocks this all is.

    Grassley drops the sworn statements from Ford’s three witnesses she identified as having been there all have all sworn under oath that the event and party was news to them. Immediately after that, Ford left and is done testifying.
    Found it curious that Dr. Ford was unaware that the Senate Chairman had reached out and offered for folks fly to California and have her interviewed in privacy. No flying. She said she would have gone for that. Wonder what else her lawyers and handlers and backers withheld from her.
    Next up, Kavanaugh. It was ironic that the homely senator told Dr. Ford this is not a criminal trial, yet if you name is Brett, it’s going to feel like a Soviet style criminal trial, lol. Rules of a court are out the window.

    On top of her witnesses contradicting her you have this –
    Yet under questioning by Mitchell, Ford admitted that she had, in fact, flown across the country to make the hearing. She had also flown to the east coast for a vacation with family in August. She also admitted flying frequently for her work and for her hobbies, including surfing vacations in Hawaii, Costa Rica, and French Polynesia. Ford, laughing nervously, said that it was easier to fly for vacations.
    Critics had speculated that the sole reason Democrats, and Ford, were refusing a Monday hearing — or even a compromise Wednesday hearing — was because a Thursday hearing would make it almost impossible for the Senate to hold a confirmation vote on Judge Kavanaugh before the Supreme Court begins its new session on October 1.

    The only one in that room today who molested a woman is Spartacluz Corey Baker according to his confession in an article he wrote.
    The prosecutor from Arizona played it right, despite the flack she is getting. She exposed 7-8 gaps in Dr. Ford and the Democrat’s story and the slime ball smear campaign. The prosecutor showed everybody the difference between the Right and the Unhinged Left in how we conduct ourselves and treat witnesses and opposed for vile and vicious the Dems are to the marrow in their bones. The Great Divide in behavior and conduct was on display. She was great in targeting the 3-4 senators on the fence.
    The Dems showed they do not believe in the presumption of innocence, no way, no how. With them, it’s always guilty no matter what.
    The talking heads say both persons before the Committe today were credible. Bull shit. Dr. Ford’s own handpicked best collaborating witness said she has never meet Brett Kavanaugh, not to mention being at the party. That is credible? Can’t remember how she got to the party (before the incident in question), how much the lie detector cost her, what happened two months ago, and, by golly, she likes to fly. That’s credible????? In fact, all 3-4 witnesses Dr. Ford named to collaborate her story all say they don’t, can’t, or won’t recall any of it. That is credible?…
    Nay, one person today was credible. Bet they did not know Kavanaugh had a calendar and diary back in 1982. The Left has done much harm to our country and our institutions that will take decades to repair, if ever. They tried to turn the US Senate into the Jerry Springer show.
    I grieve for what the Democrats, media, and destroyers have done to our nation. Innocence was lost today. What do we tell our children? This happened on our watch. Alas. Lo am I. The sun is setting on the rule of law, civility, and goodness. A sad day, a very black day for our nation, institutions, and our values. Tear it down!
