EditionChutzpah: 1. Killing your parents and asking for leniency because you are an orphan. 2. Senator Robert Menendez. He is a lifelong crook, who emerged from a particularly corrupt part of NJ, and embraced the expanded opportunities for graft in the United States Senate. In addition, there are credible suggestions that he took part in offshore sexual adventures, possibly with underage people (see? I'm being PC!). For Menendez to do anything but shut his mouth and meekly vote the way he is told by his superiors in the DNC is a travesty, and something that would be trumpeted from the mountaintop by an honest and impartial media. But...he is a Democrat and therefore off limits.
The Left has no shame, no morality, no respect for life. What do they have? A lust for power and domination. Hurricanes, Death Tolls, and Trump It’s Hurricane Katrina all over again. Since the election of climate denier Donald Trump, the politicization of major hurricanes—along with a torrent of hysterical news coverage and blame-laying—is back en vogue. During last year’s unusually active hurricane season, the media, Democratic politicians and scientific activists claimed the devastating storms were Trump’s fault even though he had been president for less than a year; some suggested voters in the red states that helped elect Trump deserved to have their property destroyed or even to be killed. (The Washington Post editorial board already this week has blamed Trump for Hurricane Florence). George W. Bush never politically recovered from the fallout of Katrina in 2005; the Left and NeverTrump are now following that successful playbook against the current Republican president. That’s why the media and political class continue to rehash Hurricane Maria, which ravaged the island of Puerto Rico just over a year ago. They want this to be Trump’s Katrina. Amid the release of a scientifically questionable report last month that significantly raised the number of deaths attributable to Maria, Trump is again on the defensive about his culpability in the tragedy. In two tweets Thursday morning, Trump rejected the study’s estimate that 2,975 people died because of Maria-related causes, and that Democrats were using the dubious report to “in order to make me look as bad as possible.” He’s right. Citing BDS, professor refuses to write reference for student to study in Israel The state of Michigan passed a law last year prohibiting boycotts against individuals or a public entities of a foreign state. Without explicitly mentioning Israel, the measure restricts all state agencies from entering contracts with individuals who engage in a "boycott of a person based in or doing business with a strategic partner." Fire the professor. He broke the law, has no respect for academic Independence and integrity, and dresses like an asshole. My Twitter Feed Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Sen Majority Leader: Ms Ford, Judge Kavanaugh I am sorry but I am going to have to ask for a delay both of your testimonies. Sen Menendez please step to the prepared podium. You will be given 30 minutes to explain what you did or did not do with underage women in the Dominican Republic. I have personally paid for your accusers to present their side, in this session, after you are done. We are then going to vote as to whether you should be expelled from the Senate.

Someone should tell Menendez that if the accusations against Kav were "credible," he would've been charged with attempted rape already. This is further proof, as if we needed any, that Progressive Democrats are trying to destroy the Constitution and our legal system where accusations must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and that the accused is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. And they're in power. Each and every Progressive should be voted out of office ASAP. I'm saddened that those who are supposed to be protecting and defending our God-given rights aren't saying "Prove it" a lot more than they do. The accusation isn't what's important, the truth of the accusation is. If it can't be proven, then it's false. I can't believe there's even a discussion on this point. Prove it or STFD and STFU.

5 Obviously, Menendez has an original definition of 'credible.'
_________________ Yeah, an accusation that is made and the accused identified by name for the first time, 36 years after the alleged event is, by definition, not particularly credible. Add in the fact that the accuser, by her own account, has suffered from PTSD as a result of the alleged event, and that makes the accusation exponentially less credible, since it has been shown in multiple scientific studies (and we know the Left loves science sexually!) that PTSD sufferers frequently experience significant memory distortion around the event that caused the trauma. Add in the additional fact that the third party whom the accuser says was in the room and witnessed the alleged event flatly denies that such an event ever happened. "Credible" it ain't.

I've gone to a few left leaning sites and it is interesting a couple of times some one has asked is there any way Judge Kavanaugh can prove his innocence and the answer is consistently no.
To flesh it out the left's argument goes something like: Proof of innocence is a criminal standard. Appointment to a political office is not a criminal charge. Therefore no one claimed to have done something bad (credibly or not) should be allowed to be appointed to an office - after all there are 320M people who haven't been accused (yet) right? This is ridiculous of course, as by this standard any appointee can get the Roy Moore treatment. When pushed on this though the lefties say something to the effect of, why shucks no one would EVER play games with accusations of abuse! Posted by: 18-1 at September 18, 2018 11:19 AM (eSx+E) 67

Many people have forgotten, or never knew, the reason that Statutes of Limitations exist. It isn't just to de-clutter the court system by ruling out old charges; primarily they have been put into place because after a certain amount of time passes, it becomes virtually impossible for a defendant to provide any evidence in his favor. The filing of old charges was a favorite ploy of Kings who wanted to get rid of bothersome opponents back in the days of Royalty, and Americans remembered how badly that could be abused when the new Government was set up.
Murder is generally exempted from statute of limitations because the prime witness to the crime, the victim, is of course dead and cannot make a complaint. For most other crimes (a few other exceptions), the standard is that if you (or the State) has a criminal complaint to make against someone, that complaint needs to be raised in a timely manner.

Many people have forgotten, or never knew, the reason that Statutes of Limitations exist. It isn't just to de-clutter the court system by ruling out old charges; primarily they have been put into place because after a certain amount of time passes, it becomes virtually impossible for a defendant to provide any evidence in his favor. The filing of old charges was a favorite ploy of Kings who wanted to get rid of bothersome opponents back in the days of Royalty, and Americans remembered how badly that could be abused when the new Government was set up.
Murder is generally exempted from statute of limitations because the prime witness to the crime, the victim, is of course dead and cannot make a complaint. For most other crimes (a few other exceptions), the standard is that if you (or the State) has a criminal complaint to make against someone, that complaint needs to be raised in a timely manner.

Yup. Honestly, I am not buying her shyness now when she contacted the WashPost in July. Even if Feinstein broke a promise to her to keep her anonymous (which is stupid - why trust a politician not to use you?), she got a lawyer and talked to the press. In for a penny, in for a pound.

"Black licorice is a masterwork of the confectioner's trade"
I bought a box of Damascan licorice ramzy at the middle-eastern market last week. It looks like 40-year-old floor sweepings. Dry, no odor, licorice roots powdered. So you steep it in water for an hour or more, filter, and drink. It is surprisingly strong. Licorice taste, with a nasty back-taste like dishwater. I read up on licorice. It's actually unhealthful in large doses. I guess black licorice candy is often flavored with anise etc. This ramzy root is the real deal I think.

So some bitch friend of Ford's has come forward to say that Ford told her last year that she'd been assaulted by a "federal judge" as a teen, but would not say whom.
They've had her in the can for a bit now... I'm sure they constructed the story, had her make some vague assertions to friends and her therapist, etc., and then just plugged in the name when the time was right or necessary. Hence why none of her "memories" include ANY salient details, and no one's recollections or records include Kavanaugh's name... this is a generic catch-all accuser and accusation.

Grassley at least tried to limit farm "subsidy" to the smaller real farmer, not to the "corporate" farm. To me, we need to keep the farmers owning the land, not renting from billionaire oligarchs. And no subsidies for the kids that move to the city and rent their inherited 1000 acres. The subsidy concept is to keep the farmers (that work long, no early retirement on golden union pensions, ongoing repairs, maintenance, etc.). Not to throw more money at the multi-millionaires that will never work, but rent for $300/acre from Chicago. Posted by: illiniwek at September 18, 2018 12:18 PM (Cus5s) 386

In my opinion, and this is not hyperbole, what's going on with Kavanaugh right now is akin to McMartin sex scandal --if not the Salem witch trials.
You have a vague, baseless charge that has suddenly taken on a life of it's own--despite no details or evidence. A charge like this gets thrown out of court--if it ever makes it. This is worse by degrees than Anita Hill, because at least Clarence Thomas and Hill knew each other and worked with each other, so even though she was lying, there was still more "there" there.

Ford may well believe it was Kavanaugh, but it wasn't. Or she may just be lying. But my guess is that she has convinced herself it was him. Posted by: LASue at September 18, 2018 12:34 PM (Z48ZB) 450
I can't tell what link you all are referring to that says Ford has 200 classmates that are supporting here, but she went to Holton-Arms. As of today, 664 students across 10 grades. Let's round up a little and say 85 girls per high school class. No way 200 of them in high school with her remember her and would vouch for her integrity. I just don't see it.

This is the problem with refusing to call BS at the get go. Now one must "fully litigate" an alleged non-felony/subjective party grope charge allegedly committed while Kavanaugh was a minor, to avoid a "he said she said" hearing according to Chucky Shooma.
The appropriate response should have been the "charge" is so remote, concerns alleged acts as a juvenile, and so subjective in nature, and inherently un-provable and un-disprovable, that to entertain any "testimony" on the issue at this point would serve no end, and so no serious body should entertain a "swearing contest" about it. At. All. It should also have been added that even if a person were, in theory, "proven" to have non consensually "groped" a drunk teenager at a party, while themselves a drunk teenager, in a proceeding about their competency to sit on the Suprreme Court some 30+ years later, that this should have absolutely zero to do with their fitness for the position. But no one will say that because it would touch a Third Raid of Politics, i.e. that all things "sexual" are As Serious as Death and if to the alleged detriment of a member of Protected Class would be the Most Heinous Thing Ever.

Another Delay Tactic: Dianne Feinstein is Now Demanding Dozens of Witnesses Testify Against Kavanaugh
https://bit.ly/2xhIxdS Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein is rejecting efforts by Chairman Chuck Grassley to hear from Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct during high school, in an open hearing Monday. "Chairman Grassley said today there would be only two witnesses invited to testify at the Kavanaugh hearing next week on sexual assault allegations. Compare that to the 22 witnesses at the 1991 Anita Hill hearing and it's impossible to take this process seriously," Feinstein released in a statement. "What about other witnesses like Kavanaugh's friend Mark Judge? What about individuals who were previously told about the incident? What about experts who can speak to the effects of this kind of trauma on a victim? This is a another attempt by Republicans to rush this nomination and not fully vet Judge Kavanaugh."

You have a vague, baseless charge that has suddenly taken on a life of it's own--despite no details or evidence. - - - - Completely agree. The #MeToo movement is not about female empowerment, it's about weaponizing female victimization; the so-called campus rape epidemic going to the big leagues.
