Sen. Lindsey Graham stole the show Thursday with a scathing indictment of his Democrat colleagues that clearly framed the issue that will determine the outcome of November’s Congressional elections. “I hope the American people can see through this sham!” an impassioned Graham declared to a vast TV audience. Many if not most Americans will have little trouble agreeing with him, but it remains to be seen how many of them will be sufficiently aroused to go to the polls, and how many left-tilting votes Thursday’s hearing will change. Kavanaugh himself brought his own righteous indignation to the proceedings, calling them ‘a disgrace’. His statement to the panel was highly emotional, and he fought back tears in recalling details of an exemplary and deeply virtuous life that diverged in the extreme from the boozing, serial-rapist picture of him painted by his accusers.
So what comes next? Perhaps unfortunately for Kavanaugh and his backers, his fate is to be decided at a moment in history when #MeToo’s reign of terror has laid waste to more than a dozen powerful men. This will have put fear in the hearts and minds of nearly anyone who would even admit to believing Kavanaugh’s denials, let alone publicly stand behind him. The climate of fear will have staunch support in the Senate from Hawaiian Sen. Mazie Hirono, for one, since she has already made it explicitly clear that she regards all men as guilty no matter what crime they’ve been charged with. If Hirono and her ilk held sway in the courts — which fortunately is not the case, at least not yet — Kavanaugh and millions of other decent men would be pilloried in the public square.
Farting, Puking Were on His Mind
The low point of the day was a clumsy attempt to embarrass and discredit Kavanaugh by Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a horse’s ass kinda guy whose sleazy game and apparent lack of good character were belied by the tailored cut of his suit, his expensive haircut and his articulate, polished demeanor. Whitehouse trotted out a reminiscence Kavanaugh wrote in his high school yearbook that contained sophomoric code words for farting, fucking and drinking until one puked. It showed real class, all of it low, for Whitehouse to bring it up. Kavanaugh rebuffed his questions before the Senator could further damage his own reputation.
Near the end of the hearing, Sen. Jeff Flake expressed the hope that Americans understand that the confirmation process will have to be concluded on the basis of imperfect knowledge. “We’ll never move beyond doubt,” he said. True enough. It’s time to put the confirmation to a vote. This is notwithstanding the Democrats’ foot-stomping clamor for the FBI to join them in their never-ending witch-hunt. Their point is moot, since Kavanaugh could be impeached at any time if it is proven that he lied — about anything.
To add to the Side Show atmosphere, infowars.com reports the Ford person is not licensed as a Psychologist in the State of California. Lying under oath? Perjury?
If she is indeed discredited they will go to their bullpen and put in another loon, and flush Ford down the Memory Hole.
This entire farce is simply the Dims postponing seating a Conservative until the November elections. If they come out on top, they Lame Duck Trump and plan to get the White House back in 2020. If they lose in November, they will double down on their 2020 election efforts and Impeach any Conservative SCOTUS appointments to finish us off if they win then.
I think it is nice if there is anyone so simple to believe that the Dims, or the RINOs for that matter are motivated by, or even capable of any human feelings of pity, or love of America!
LOL!
