More great job and income numbers released today, miraculously brought to you by guy who is overcome by dementia.

Get ready for Justice Kavanaugh, courtesy of a president with Alzheimer’s.

Kavanaugh's accuser took a polygraph and easily passed. No deception.

Get ready for something, I guess.

Was the supposed polygraph was administered by Comey, or Mccabe, or Strojk, or Page, or Ohr, or Clapper, or Brennan? They are all stand up guys, brimming with integrity.

Get ready for Kavanaugh to have a long term on SCOTUS, with an even longer memory of this ridiculous hit job on him from the Left. Just like the attempted high tech lynching of Clarence Thomas. They will have the rest of their lives to rule accordingly.

The Right needs to start now auditioning a series of fake accusers for the next Democrat SCOTUS nominees, and come up with a list of wild sexual accusations. "Judge Merrick Garland groped me in grade school!" or "Judge Patricia Millett fondled me in Jr. High School!" or "Judge Gerard Lynch forced his tongue down my throat in Sunday School!" etc etc etc. Such is the Wackadoodle world the Left has created.

Just read the letter Ford sent to Finestein. Here is the supposed assault:

Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school in the early 1980's. He conducted these acts with the assistance of REDACTED.
Both were one to two years older than me and students at a local private school.

Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with REDACTED, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state. With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth I feared he may inadvertently kill me.
From across the room a very drunken REDACTED said mixed words to Kavanaugh ranging from "go for it" to "stop."
At one point when REDACTED jumped onto the bed the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other. After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the bathroom door behind me. Both loudly stumbled down the stair well at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home.

That "REDACTED" has a name:

The Kavanaugh classmate quoted in the New Yorker is Mark Judge, a writer in Washington, D.C. Judge spoke to THE WEEKLY STANDARD Friday afternoon, strongly denying that any such incident ever occurred. "It's just absolutely nuts. I never saw Brett act that way," Judge told TWS.

After Judge categorically denied ever witnessing an attempted assault by Kavanaugh, I asked him if he could recall any sort of rough-housing with a female student back in high school (an incident that might have been interpreted differently by parties involved). "I can't. I can recall a lot of rough-housing with guys. It was an all-boys school, we would rough-house with each other," he said said. "I don't remember any of that stuff going on with girls."

So, when the accuser testifies under oath, the person she identifies as an eyewitness to that event will testify that she and her story are both FOS. Game over. Another lying Leftist hit job epic fail.

This just in, and from the flagrantly pro-Kavanaugh Washington Post:

“She said she told no one of the incident in any detail until 2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband. The therapist’s notes, portions of which were provided by Ford and reviewed by The Washington Post, do not mention Kavanaugh’s name but say she reported that she was attacked by students “from an elitist boys’ school” who went on to become “highly respected and high-ranking members of society in Washington.” The notes say four boys were involved, a discrepancy Ford days is on the way therapist’s part.”

Neil Gorsuch went through his confirmation like crap through a goose. Why was that? Mostly because he answered the committee questions directly, didn't have a history of lying to Congress, and all of his background docs and info were in order and delivered on time. And he wasn't a drunken idiot all through prep school, nor an apparent rape attempter. Straight through; practically no hiccups.


Just sayin'.

[Professor Tiger]

Here's the real reason:
Neil Gorsuch was a conservative replacing a conservative.
Kavanaugh is a conservative replacing a swing vote.

If RBG leaves the Court under a Republican President, and that President nominates a conservative to replace her, it will be like Watts in '65 or Newark in '67.

The fact a man’s career can be derailed by this kind of accusation when he was 17 ought to concern every man...but tick wouldn’t understand that.

[bluetick]

Rest easy, sardis, your job is safe. Should your worries linger...hey man, we're here for you. We can rap about those days if you like...you've got some stories, amirite?

Yeah, I can't believe how many catholic priests' careers have been ruined by these decades old "accusations". And Jerry Sanduski? A great career ruined by this kind of "accusation." Shameful...

Ex-GOP donor urges support for Dems in midterms: 'Democracy is at stake'

The hedge funder said he feels “betrayed” by “spineless” Republicans who he says have been “profiles in cowardice.” Now, Klarman says the only option is to “act as a check and balance.”

“If one looks at my past giving, one might think that several million, 5 or 6 million, might be a lot in a cycle,” Klarman said. But he added that he is “stretching far beyond what I usually do” in the current cycle.

“By the election I think I’ll have spent between $18 and $20 million,” he continued, which would make him one of the top donors for the Democratic Party this year.

“Think of it this way,” Brendan Quinn of the Center for Responsive Politics told the Times. “As of August, George Soros has given $12 million. I have no way of knowing how much more he’ll contribute this cycle, but it’s entirely possible that Klarman could end up giving more than him.”

The wealthiest supporter of the GOP in Ohio said Thursday that he is no longer a member of the Republican Party.

“I just decided I’m no longer a Republican,” L Brands CEO Leslie Wexner said during a panel discussion at a leadership summit, according to The Columbus Dispatch.

Fucking A! Now we just need to get people to also stop being Democrats.

Apples and oranges and you know it.

But I'm sure you were respectful of the ladies in your high school years.

[hedge]

Never had to force myself on anyone, and wouldn't want to have sex with anyone who wasn't a willing participant. Also, how is it apples and oranges? I'm not saying Kavanaugh did it (unlike you, I don't claim to know the truth of what happened based on what has been reported, but I'm not surprised that a good christian such as yourself is already sure that this woman is nothing more than a "lying liberal" hit jobber), but if he did, how is that different from any catholic priest who abused kids or different from Sandusky? B/c they were both in high school?

[sardis]

That, and there is no other accusation in his life of assault or harassment since then. Rapists like Sandusky and Prof's beloved papists have a track record of assault.

I think they are both lying. He was probably there at the party and made moves on her, probably touched her inappropriately, most likely she resisted and left. Bad enough for him to deny even being there. Not bad enough, necessarily to stop the nomination so she had to make it more salacious.

[bluetick]

She: Described the incident to a therapist back in 2012 and that has been confirmed. Passed a polygraph regarding ALL the incident details that she gave to Feinstein and the WaPo. Named a third party witness who is a FRIEND of the accused. Desires a FBI investigation ahead of her testimony to Congress.

He: Won't take a polygraph, and his good pal refuses to testify. Mum on any further investigation, FBI or otherwise.

Ford's attorney is making noises that she is willing to testify in a closed session Monday- to the people that are making the decision. Some republicans are saying that's not good enough, that she has to testify openly - in the interests of "transparency". Apparently said with a straight face.

[Professor Tiger]

Hedge touched me inappropriately at a Boy Scout camp in the 1970’s. I don’t know exactly when. I never reported the incident to anybody. I never told anybody about it until 2 years ago. I was so traumatized that I had to get therapy. The therapist’s notes say I said I was touched at a Boy Scout camp by 4 boys in the 70’s, but the notes don’t mention hedge by name. I wrote my congressman about it (since this is what all victims of inappropriate touching do) and said Sardis was there when it happened. But Sardis says it never happened.

So finally I walked into the local FBI field office and demanded that they launch a full investigation into hedge for touching me 40 years ago, with the only witness to the event who “rebukes the charges,” no reporting the event to anybody for all this time, and no other reports on hedge doing something like this to anybody else, and no other corroborating evidence to support my accusation. After the FBI agent regained his composure from a fit of uncontrollable laughter, he told me with a grin that he’d “get right on that.”

I am shocked - SHOCKED! I AM A VICTIM! MY ACCUSATION MUST AUTOMATICALLY BE ACCEPTED! HEDGE, AN EVIL WHITE MALE, MUST NOW PROVE HE DIDN’T DO IT! OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN DANGER!

[hedge]

But I did do it...
