I've noticed that she's used the phrase "Where I could be more helpful..." at least 4 or 5 times so far today when being questioned.

Anyone else find that strange?

Which is why you don't try to address it. Acknowledge it politely - and very briefly - then slide on into the facts, or at least the inconsistencies that the staff attorney has been quietly eliciting.

No, I really want someone to ask how a PhD has survived this long not remembering anything? Also, what medication is she on? She seems to have the same bewildered look as Hillary during the primary.
She comes across as an infant.

Rachel Mitchel is doing a fantastic job.

I'm watching on a live stream in Thailand, and the comment section is also hilarious. Just like the time leading up to Trump's election and glorious victory that turned out, I have no doubt that this will be all winning.

The dems are going to lose here and again in the midterms.

Interesting - Right before the hearing starts, Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) shakes the hand of Ford's lawyer, then slips him a white envelope and quickly leaves.

Probably a dinner invite. Wink

"Where I could be more helpful..."

The only specific thing that she kept repeating was that she saw Mark Judge working in the Safeway a few weeks after the alleged attack. If she knew when he worked there, she could better pin point the date.

The fact that she says it happened "one evening in the summer" of 1982 seems very suspicious. She doesn't even identify the month.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ford also said the poly was very difficult and there so many questions.

The poly report that was provided had only 2 questions that asked if her statement was false. She answered No.

Not sure why the discrepancy

The attempted character assassination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh has brought out the worst in Democrats, every Democrat, everywhere. They’ve convicted a good and decent man of things he wasn’t even falsely accused of, so desperate are progressives to stop someone who believes the Constitution means what it says from sitting on the Supreme Court. From elected officials to unelected Democrats with media credentials, the last two weeks have exposed the Democratic Party as a gaggle of guttersnipes willing to destroy a man for the “crime” of disagreeing with them politically. After watching this unfold, you really have to wonder one thing: Is there a single decent, honest Democrat left in the United States?

The circus Democratic Senators created surrounding the Kavanaugh nomination should serve as a scarlet letter on every single one of them for the rest of their lives and should stain the buildings they’ll fund in their states with our tax dollars with will bare their names. It’s a disgrace.

Accusations that would get laughed out of any court in the land before they got in the door are treated as if they were carved into stone tablets by a burning bush by these charlatans. And now the entrance of Creepy Porn Lawyer with bogus allegations of serial gang rape at parties in the early 80s where no one ever said a word, yet people still voluntarily attended. It’s so stupid it’s funny.

The worst of the worst, at least among those not employed by major newspapers or CNN and MSNBC, are Senators Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Kirsten Gillibrand from New York. Each, on several occasions, have said things about Judge Kananaugh that would get them sued for their net worth and more if they’d said it about anyone not a public figure.

They’ve weaponized the #MeToo movement for political purposes, which is ironic considering Gillibrand’s years-long relationship with major Democratic Party pervert Harvey Weinstein. She made a fortune working for the law firm that helped keep his history secret and was close with him up to the point it became politically advantageous to throw him under the bus. People around Weinstein had all heard the stories, saw the signs, yet this self-appointed champion of women’s rights somehow missed it all…but managed to keep hammering those checks.

Hirono just wants men “to shut up” and make sure we “do the right thing, for a change.” I’m pretty sure that were it not for men doing the right thing, we’d be speaking either German or Japanese or even Russian, but Mazie doesn’t care. You never want to be caught between a progressive and their agenda – they’ll do anything from smash your store windows to accuse you of attempted rape.


The 100 million dead human beings murdered in the name of their political objectives in the last century are a testament to the left’s willingness to do anything to win.

Hirono, Gillibrand, the rest of the Democratic Party establishment, to varying degrees, have pronounced Kavanaugh guilty of everything he’s been accused of, even before hearing the accusers in their own words. These actions are not only un-American, they’re irredeemably anti-American.

Yet these people enjoy safe harbor in the media, facing no challenge to their declarations, no follow-up questions to their absurd assertions. Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, who so destroyed the state’s economy she had to flee 3000 miles to California to find work at the end of her term (in the state’s university system, naturally), said the complete lack of evidence, witnesses denying her allegations, and even not having details like what year it allegedly happened, made Christine Blasey Ford’s story “actually corroborates Ford's story.”

The statements from these Democrats make the ghost of Goebbels blush from Hell.

As Chuck Schumer and his army of elected flying monkeys attack Kavanaugh and Republicans with absurd and obvious lies, not one Democrat has stepped up to say enough. No one has come forward to say the presumption of innocence is fundamentally American, and Judge Kavanaugh deserves it, politics be damned.

None.

Last weekend Michael Moore released a new movie (his movies aren’t documentaries, they’re scripted propaganda films that only use the parts of the story that fit his desired narrative, something I detail in my book, “Outrage, INC” – he’s Leni Riefenstahl with a thyroid condition) and it bombed. The Harvey Weinstein-produced (they cut some kind of deal to get his name out of the credits) Fahrenheit 11/9 took in a pathetic $3.1 million, finishing 8th for the weekend.

Why would a movie from Moore attacking Donald Trump bomb so badly in this political atmosphere, especially when he’s promoted it everywhere, even with the help of a town hall on MSNBC? Because he’s now common among liberals, he’s just one in a crowd.

When Moore first hit the scene he was a fringe guy, an extreme leftist peddling propaganda to an underserved slice of the political left. In the years since, the Democratic Party has moved so far left they’re caught in his gravitational pull. Why pay $15 to watch a 90-minute version of what you can get for free, 24 hours a day, on MSNBC and CNN? You could just turn on CSPAN and watch Democrats give floor speeches in Congress or hold a press conference and save yourself the cost of popcorn. In other words, the Democratic Party has become Michael Moore, there’s no afghan, it’s all fringe now.

There used to be Democratic Members of Congress who called themselves “Blue Dogs,” moderate Democrats who were concerned about our border and national security and were concerned with out of control spending and government growth. They’re gone now, extinct. Replaced by people embracing socialism and demanding a man’s life be destroyed because he thinks wrong. They’re chasing public officials out of restaurants and threatening their children. They’re demanding people be fired for tweeting something they deem offensive or donated to a cause they oppose.

They are, universally, awful. And they’re only getting worse.

Will anyone with a (D) after their name stand up to this insanity, will any of them put the good of the country above that of the progressive agenda? Or even suggest pumping the brakes a little and telling their fellow party members the presumption of innocence should be afforded to Judge Kavanaugh? So far, none have.

Are there any decent Democrats left in politics? The answer is no, there are not.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

This hearing has been a clusterfuck so far. 5 minutes is not enough time for Mitchell to have a meaningful exchange when every segment is countered by 5 minutes of some Democrat deifying Ford for 5 minutes and going on and on about how brave she is and how they believe her. The news media will piece together the soundbites to back up their narrative and it will be very easy for the RINOs to justify not voting to confirm. Unless something dramatic happens with the remaining portion of Ford's so-called testimony, it's going to take an amazing performance by Kavanaugh to get the ship righted. I hope he can do it.

Either way, I think this lady is a fruitcake and it's an absolute abomination that this has been allowed to happen. Shame on the lot of them.

You all need to examine that video closely.

She has more than 1 envelope in her hand. She pulls 1 envelope and hands it to him with her right hand. She doesn't hand the rest of the items to him with her left hand.

When his hands appear to put the envelope in his jacket pocket, he has multiple items including the envelope SJ passes him.

Looks like a slight of hand almost.

ETA: slowing it down it looks like she is handing more than 1 item but man it looks slight-of-handi-ish.

Hirono is such a hack. Now she's lecturing Rachael Mitchell about sexual assault victims as if she's an amateur on the matter.

Sit down a shut up, you imbecile.

By my calculations Ford is 53 years old. During some close up shots she appears to be much older, like in her 60s. Just an observation.

This woman, Jesus...she doesn't seem to comprehend simple questions. The question about whether someone else on her behalf spoke to any democrat politician or staff members seemed like it was an advanced differential equation question or something to her.

I noticed that too, it's common it seems for a lot of Aussie women to look much older than they actually are due to all that sun on the beaches.

She spent lots of time (hated it!)flying to Hawaii to surf, right?
