It didn't happen because SHE didn't come forward long ago

Women that talk about Kavanaugh...

All those victims of sexual abuse (that has been going on for years) by religious leaders?

People that come out of the woodwork from 30 or 35 years ago?...

Not to be believed?

As TheRUMP questions people's claims.

Do you believe the accusations of two drunken (their own admissions) women who can't remember ANYTHING until they are coached by activists and Dems, including WHO should be accused?

RE: who can't remember ANYTHING
Sep 25, 2018 4:32AM PDT

Don't you mean

who can't remember EVERYTHING

One person can't remember the exact date OR place...They CAN remember the name of the perp....and the name one other person in the room...

K has his yearbook as a contemporaneous record....which happens to contain "evidence" of his enjoyment of the demon drink...

I didn't believe Clinton when HE said...I did not have sex with THAT woman....I also do not believe K

I don't think you believed Clinton either...What makes you so sure K is telling the truth?

PS...SHE/THEY were drunk and didn't know who did what...HE was also drunk and didn't know what HE did? Seem like a logical defense..AND HE is the one with an obvious drinking problem according to HIS yearbook.

While we're busy trying to disqualify the man
Sep 25, 2018 5:55AM PDT

let's take a look at our lawmakers as well. After all...anyone who seeks to become a lawmaker should have spotless record when it comes to obeying law. Most kids in High School are under the age where they can drink. Let's have the FBI investigate all members of our two houses of lawmakers and get rid of everyone who used alcohol (maybe tobacco too) prior to legal age. Of course law enforcement can't be immune either so let's scrutinize all of them as well. I'd wonder just how many would need to exit their positions for alcohol use, sexual offenses, acts of theft or vandalism, etc., etc. After all, these folks who make and enforce laws must be the best examples of obedience to them. We, the general public, deserve this. Of course, we might just end up with no civil government at all.

it could mean to admit to doing things, that your post suggests would be impossible standards, for almost anyone to meet to hold public office...

Sure, i've been drunk a few times and passed out....Smoked a couple joints.....I've manned up....Do I get the job?

K ranted about going to religious college and doing humanitarian work....mr nice guy...clean as the fallen snow, (clean snow?...does that apply now with all the pollution?)

TheRUMP did some housecleaning before he made his run at the POTUS...paid off prostitutes and who knows who else....HE didn't "man up".....HE "covered up".

IF she shows up, the attorney who will be asking questions of her will ask why she felt she absolutely needed to delete every social media account she had immediately after contact with her attorney and Feinstein and taking a polygraph (and where is the list of questions that were actually asked during that polygraph...I don't need the answers to them, just the questions...since that polygraph was taken in her LAWYER's office). Will she take the 5th after she gives her opening statement like Lois Lerner did? In the USA, if you are going to take the 5th, you aren't allowed to give 'testimony' defending yourself ahead of time and THEN take the 5th, but she got away with it because Dems allowed it. Will it happen again?

When have you heard of a person voluntarily airing any dirty laundry during an interview just to be up front? However, if politicians would expect their interviewees to do this, they should "man and woman up" be be an example of what they expect. Good luck finding a politician who'd be willing to do that.

I should have known better than to expect a well reasoned answer.

the stripper who accused the Duke Lacrosse team (who were innocent but had their lives ruined) or the VA Tech accusers who were also lying?

As for "ANYTHING vs "EVERYTHING".....the second woman isn't/wasn't even sure if it WAS K until 6 days AFTER talking with her attorneys, then miraculously 'remembered' in six DAYS what she COULDN'T remember in 35 YEARS. Gimme a break from the bullshift.

The FIRST woman was so 'traumatized' by being 'felt up' THRU her clothing that she can't FLY...yet she has family on the East Coast that she visits regularly AND went to SCHOOL in HAWAII....and even in her psych sessions 30 years later finally told somebody what happened BUT NEVER MENTIONED WHO IT WAS....until 6 years later when K's name was announced in July....then she hired activists for attorneys, took a polygraph in August, AFTER sending a letter to two government reps AND called the NYPost/Times to reveal her 'story' and her name all while saying she wanted to remain anonymous. WHO hires attorneys AND takes a polygraph AND notifies the media IF you don't want to reveal yourself?

And, in case you never got the FIRST part of this STORY.....Guess who foreclosed on her parents' home before ALL of this accusation crap happened? The FIRST judge of the K family....HIS MOTHER. Coincidence that ALL OF A SUDDEN she "remembers"????

Did Ks MOTHER know
Sep 25, 2018 1:07PM PDT

what her son was doing?

ALL that drinking?

I didn't know what I was doing Judge Mom,..I was drunk...

Did her son(K) tell his MOTHER that the girl resisted so he wanted his MOTHER to foreclosure on her parents house?

So many connections to be made....

Coincidence that ALL OF A SUDDEN she "remembers"????

ALL OF A SUDDEN?

NO!!!...she has been laying in wait for this moment....the trap has been sprung.

The JUDGE (and her son K) were unfortunate that the people that held the mortgage appeared before her....otherwise K would be sitting on the SCOTUS right now.....Karma is a ------

But I love it when a plan comes together....just imagine the joy at the dinner table of what's her name, Ford?

Fact-checking False link between foreclosure case, Brett Kavanaugh sexual assault allegations

According to the case information archived online, Brett Kavanaugh’s mother, Martha Kavanaugh, did preside over a foreclosure case in which Ford’s parents were defendants. However, according to the same documents, Martha Kavanaugh dismissed the case at the plaintiff’s request.

The America First Media Group blog post includes screenshots of that same case information, which says the voluntary motion to dismiss the case was "granted with prejudice," meaning the plaintiff cannot sue over the same issue again.

Put simply, Kavanaugh’s mother had no effect on the outcome of the case. A dismissed foreclosure case involving Ford’s parents is an incredibly unlikely basis for a revenge-motivated sexual assault accusation 22 years later.

We rate this claim False
.


WHY hold a grudge against a "judge" when the plaintiff is the one that brings the charge AND then withdraws the charge?"

The Judge(Ks mom) just went where she was required...She wasn't any puppet for anything/anyone.

I'M not the one who brought out the 'let's compare', YOU did by dragging Trump into this mix because you can't defend your case against K adequately....typical liberal move....nice try, though. BTW....Trump never denied it COMPARED to K's ABSOLUTE DENIAL. The real victim here is K in case you haven't noticed. Also, BTW, Ford COULD bring a case against K IF it really happened BY HIS HANDS and not somebody else because the State of Maryland has NO statue of limitations on sexual assault cases, but she hasn't done so and she's already had over 3 months to do it (or even 6 years if you believe she finally knew/remembered who did it while talking with her shrink). The whole point of this garbage charge is to stop K from getting to SCOTUS....AND if he isn't qualified based on this crap to serve there, they can impeach him from his CURRENT judgeship in a very liberal DC appellate court system as well. If you're out to ruin a man's life over politics you are afraid he will vote on why not go all the way and destroy his family, career, and income at the same time? Because with the new me2 crap, ALL women tell the truth and HAVE to be believed, and ALL men are liars and sexual predators and can't be believed at all. Just ask the Duke and VA Tech guys....

Women are vindictive, JP....and when you can't remember correctly and get the guys mixed up, it doesn't matter who you point that finger at...SOMEBODY will have pay for it, so you might as well make it count massively when you finally do.
