I turned on the computer about 80 minutes ago. On the front page of DU, there is story about an earthquake in Indonesia. This happened yesterday. At this point about 380 people have been identified as being killed. Communications from the area of the quake have been cut off. There are links to more information on that story on the front page of DU...links with pictures..
I came to find out about this Kavanaugh story, not this horrific event. But now, I am thinking about this event No such event in the U.S.A. today, but it could happen at any time, tomorrow, next week or next month. Any time... Hundreds of lives destroyed, families broken, buildings in shambles due to some outside event, beyond anyone's control. All in the space of a few moments in time.
As people talk about Ford and Kavanaugh most people pass on what is simple and clear.
Dr. Ford was simple, clear, precise, honest, and totally believable. Yes, she was afraid, but her true self became clear. She was the victim of sexual assault. Most people believe her. Not just what she said, but the way that she said it.
Mr. Kavanaugh was loud, off the wall, emotional, rambling, interrupting, acting and saying that he and his family were the "victims." " I am innocent, I did nothing." Many have said that he acted just like a liar would act.
Many independent observers say that Dr. Ford was clearly telling the truth, and Mr Kavanaugh was lying. ________________________________________________________________________________________
All over the country, that is what the conclusion is. A disaster for the Republicans. Why? "Because the so called judge was lying, and the lady was telling the truth.
...Oh, and that judge (who many think was lying) wants to be appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States, the most important court in the U.S.A. ... It is that simple, .. and mighty Casy has struck out.
Anything Can Happen.
They said that no Afro-American could become President of the U.S.A.
In 2008 Barack Obama became President of the U.S.A.
Anything can happen.
They said that man would walk on the moon. I thought that was impossible
Not only did a man walk on the moon, we could watch the entire show live on TV. And I did.
Anything can happen
They said a total idiot could not be elected President. I thought that was impossible. A total idiot was
elected President of the U.S.A in 2016. There was outside interference, and a woman really won, but
that really did happen
Anything can happen.
I attended a class in the late 70s, the professor said that someday computer chips would be so cheap
that one day people would carry around computers in their pockets. And everyone could afford one..Then, computer chips were extremely expensive, and that idea in my opinion, was totally ridiculous.
Anything can happen
They said that the Chicago Cubs would never win the World Series...
The Chicago Cubs did indeed win the World Series..11/2/16
Anything can happen
They said that a plane could not land on the Hudson River in New York and everyone could get out alive 1/15/09
Anything can happen
They said that 2 Republican senators would not vote against Kavanaugh as Supreme Court
Justice. They vote in lockstep to the wishes of the party and their leader. That's impossible
Anything can happen, Anything can happen, Anything can happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. A con artist uses all techniques available...emotional outbursts, crying, disrespect..
sarcasm,yelling, lying, and more. Anything and everything to con you.. Whatever works.
Attack, Attack and Attack, "I did nothing"...attack the process, What Trump would do.
Attack the Clintons. Remember the hearings on Benghazi? Same thing..Clintons, distract, it was their fault, never answer the basic questions..Over and over again..and some more..over again. Benghazi times two
The detail that Ford remembers the most was the two men laughing at her, while
one of them was on top of her.That says a whole lot about her and them in one sentence.
And it is something that I will also remember.
Ford says she is 100 percent sure it was Kavanaugh..
She is totally believable. Perhaps it is all over. Kavanaugh will have to totally deny this. Then what?
There is a Happy Story now in the lounge..in a way it is Good News. Yes..
it is recommending a post, (not mine) but it made me smile..And let's give credit where credit is due..

This is what he know for sure about Mr. Kavanaugh..
What we know for sure...
..He drank booze at parties, many say he was drunk, and when drunk. he was mean.(others have said)
..He was a member of a fraternity that had a "reputation."
..He worked for Kenneth Star to get Bill Clinton, and he came up with a whole lot of sh*t...(therefore, he knows what to look for when discussing crude sh*t
..He waked away and looked mean at a father who lost his daughter. (Refused to shake his hand)also, .(sorry for mistake..it was a daughter, not a son)
..There are contradictions in what he has said, and what others have said about him.
..He has said he was a "virgin" many years past this event. (Yes, he said this, but he did not say that he did not masturbait on women..yes, in court there would be a difference) Yes, this is crude, all of this is crude. Masturbation is different than intercourse..
..Trump is strongly supporting him. (Kavanaugh wrote that no sitting president can be indicted)
..Graham is also supporting him.
..McConnell would like a vote as soon as possible.
..There have been 3 women accusing him of lying about his sexual experiences and his drinking.
Now this is ugly..we know the above for sure. There is a good chance, that there is more. Yes, this is ugly. And it is also true that Trump is one ugly person.
This is all about lying in front of Congress, and standing up for the truth.
...Yes, there are republican senators who think Kavanaugh is lying. (an opinion only) It stands to reason given the evidence. But are they willing to stand up for that truth. No matter what McConnell and Trump say, Kavanaugh's lies seems obvious. If those senators question weather he is telling the truth given the evidence presented, are they willing to say NO based on that? Lying to Congress is against the law. Isn't it? I suspect that if Kavanaugh were a Democratic appointee by a democratic president, those same people would have no trouble with accusing Kavanaugh of lying and voting against him.
