Ford's (Progressive) D.C. lawyer (the one who arranged the polygraph test) said a couple of days ago that her client would testify in public. Of course she didn't say where or when in public. Will she testify in public before the Senate Judiciary Committee next Monday? That's the only public venue that "makes sense", since they are the ones deciding the issue and the ones (Feinstein/Dems) who initiated the whole claim as to sexual impropriety and other crimes ("I thought he might inadvertently kill me."). I haven't looked at a news site for over 30 minutes, so it could all be settled by now.

When I was a kid I did stupid stuff. I'll bet you all did too. It's the job of kids (and young adults) to do stupid stuff.
It's called life lessons. Obviously the "assault" was not a big deal or it would have been exposed decades ago.

Me? Do something stupid? No way! I am triggered by your assertion! I demand you lose your 1A rights and that the mods delete your racist statement since it was made towards a haole.  :P :P :P

I am triggered by your accusation that I deliberately tried to trigger you.
BTW, how can an Asian-polynesian guy qualify to be a racist? :rofl:

Latest news I heard said Kavanaugh is having a 1-hour phone call with staff-level members of the Senate judiciary Committee to answer any questions they have on these allegations.

All the Democrats said their staff members will not participate.

So much for Democrats in the Senate rallying around the accuser.

If she felt raped in 1982-ish, she's in for a repeat at the hands of the Democrats who are using her.

I don't come across their articles that much, but I've found them to be closer to "just the facts" than others. 

Just the whole things seems super fishy.  Had the information for months and sat on it.  Maybe didn't intend to be a wild card, but when it's all you've got.  I still think they are banking on the appearance of impropriety these days being enough, especially with the #MeToo and that stuff.  I did think about that this was just enough of a bomb into the Republican party that it would at minimum cause chaos, but I hadn't thought about ramifications for the mid-terms if the nomination should falter. 

I just want folks to see the hypocrisy here, on so many levels and starting with Feinstein and the trail of smear that should be on Democrats.  I do believe folks are seeing it, but I also see stuff like this further energizing the Democrat voter base.  I hope it energizes the Republican voter base as well.  So much BS and infighting.  Never recalled a time when things where like this, but then again, maybe just a symptom of the shakeup that was needed in this country.

Yeah, I have never seen so much polarization in our country BT (Before Trump, LOL). I Believe Trump was needed as well. He was the only one who was going to shake things up like he has. I like this aspect of his presidency so far. I just wish there was not so much of the circus atmosphere and that neither side felt like they have to play dirty politics in order to get their way. I prefer that one party does not have the majority in all 3 branches and that they work together to get things each side wants. I honestly think that if the Dems played up to the Republicans and maybe did a little ass kissing that things would go more their way than it has for them. But that is JMHO.

I have been polarized since LBJ was elected.
I was in 4th grade then, I remember the Daisy commercials.
I recognized how Democrats lie, at age 8,
and how the MSM enables Democrats.
I prefer moral and  ethical people, unfortunately
they are totally absent in the Democrat party, and rare
in the Republican party.

Both parties are infested with active sexual predators. It's great to see them drag up this stuff from decades ago, because it means they are looking at each other nervously wondering who will be the next to fall. Like how far do they really want to push these childhood rape accusations before it comes back to bite them?

I'm still looking forward to the day one or more of Hillary's contract killers finally speak out. There's so much we are completely clueless about that will be revealed as the empire unravels and old power alliances turn on each other.

So Blasey Ford has “effectively gone into hiding” and requested security for her and her teenage children. Expected to some extent, but one of the main reasons is she reportedly stated she has been inundated with requests for her to share more of her story. Of course she mentioned threats and harassment, but she seemed more afraid of the nutjobs coming by her house trying to get her to “join the cause” and go after Kavanaugh. She been sold out and hung out to dry.

That would be a point for Kavanaugh's defense to bring up but the inability to remember these details 40 years later doesn't mean it never happened.

40 years later  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Can you remember things that happened underneath / over your bridge 40 years later?

Mazie Hirono dragged me into her house when I was young and going door to door selling Zippy's Chili tickets.

I cant remember when. It might have been around the time when Henry Kapono started his first of many many many many many many "retirement" concerts.

I cant remember why I was at her house.

I cant remember how I got there.

But there was Brian Schatz in the room and he was laughing the whole time while smoking batu.

I don't have to prove anything. Hirono and Schatz need to prove their innocence cause they're guilty until proven otherwise.

The guy she claims who was in the room doesn't remember the story and will not testify.  But her story did change from 4 guys in the room, to 2-3, to none and 1 guy walked in on them. He doesn't remember her, but did state that Kav has always had good morals.

The one 800 pound gorilla in the room is that the accuser has the obligation to prove it happened. Until she can provide proof that it did occur, no one should believe what she says. And all of this is because we have this little requirement that Kavaugh is innocent until proven guilty. Not sure how she is going to prove that it did occur? Especially since she has not been forthcoming in a timely manner, never reported it to police, and she still has not responded (as I write this) and agreed to testify next Monday. The truth and facts matter. Feelings do not.
