It was when Ford was being asked about her fear of flying and she acknowledged it, blaming it on "claustrophobia" as a result of her experience 36 years ago.* She then went on to acknowledge however that she has regularly flown often in spite of this. But that's not the odd part. She was asked why she didn't accept Grassley's offer to conduct the testimony in California.* He said the committee would fly to her instead of her having to fly to WashDC. The offer was made in consideration of her claimed fear of flying and the delay it imposed on the whole process. In her testimony Ford expressed surprise that Grassley had made that offer. She said she was "unaware" of it and thanked Sen. Grassley. That's strange. A lawyer I heard last night addressed this.* He said that Grassley had sent three letters to Ford's attorneys regarding the offer to have the committee come to her rather than she come to WashDC.** He said that if her attorneys had withheld those letters from Ford* they were in violation of some codes of conduct governing their responsibilities. As her attorneys they could be subject to being disbarred for unethical behavior. Interestingly, at least one of the attorneys ... the woman ... is a known political activist and participates in the Trump "resist" movement. According to the lawyer, she was recommended to Ford by Dianne Feinstein after Ford sent Feinstein the "confidential" letter regarding her claimed sexual abuse by Kavanaugh. I am telling ya.* You just can't make this stuff up. Whatever. Hopefully, Dr. Ford's public testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee works out for the best. It didn't occur to me until after Kavanaugh's testimony, but the political screed he offered during it should be something that completely disqualifies him from the federal bench...in any judgeship. He blamed his delay in confirmation on the Democrats, on women, on the Clintons, on politics. He sounded like Trump. A federal judge isn't supposed to be political and isn't supposed to behave that way. He's really Trump's boy. He should be subjected to a writ of scire facias or impeached for expressing those partisan thoughts. As a wise man said "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you". (alternatively credited to Joseph Heller and Henry Kissinger) I saw a man who was surprised and frustrated by a partisan attack on him that seems to have no provable basis in fact. If this nomination does go down, I would not mind seeing him drag Ford and Feinstein into civil court and let them prove this was not just a politically motivated assault on his character. You might not mind it, but absent malice, Kavanaugh, a public figure, would get nowhere with a civil suit alleging libel or slander. It would be close to impossible for Kavanaugh to prove malice. Kavanaugh's tempermental outburst should be enough to do him in...hell, he doesn't have the temperment to serve as a judge in any court. I doubt he would do it but you can sue anyone for anything even if the objective is nothing but to get them under oath answering questions and proving their allegations. You may not have "malice" in the case of Ford, assuming she can demonstrate this was not just a political move but Feinstein was certainly malicious in the way she handled this. I also understand congress people are expected to be malicious political hacks so she has the perfect defense. I really think the democrats may be shooting themselves in the foot here tho. Kananaugh may be the least objectionable of the 3 on your core issues. You will have a hard time "Borking" 2 candidates in a row. That's not the objective.* They've got the delaying process down pat. They want to block Kavanaugh and then delay any replacement long enough for the mid terms plus 2 months.* Technically there may be time to rush another nominee through the process but unlikely because all the jerks in WashDC want to get home and get into heavy campaign mode. There's no doubt there are strong efforts to block Kavanaugh, and for good reason. I suppose if Kavanaugh is withdrawn, the Repubs could try to fast-track a replacement before the election and if not, certainly after the election. I have no problem with the Dems trying to block Kavanaugh ... for the right reasons like simple political differences ... but not for the ridiculous and disgusting reasons they have demonstrated over the past week. It is interesting that nobody has admitted that this is really just about Roe to them, at least not since they had the Ford thing to wave around. I do think this is the first time ever that I have seen a politician or a potential justice being crucified for what they might have done as a teenager. We were not even allowed to criticize what democrat sitting senators and governors did while they were in office. It really is bizarre.* And I also don't think this is as much about Roe vs. Wade as some Dems would like you to think.** The chances of a 40 something year old decision being overturned even with some strong conservatives on the bench are slim. It probably wouldn't even be accepted to be considered if a challenge ever made it up through the lower courts.** Those Dems talking about it are just trying to scare their pro-choice base to turn out the vote in November. I don't know what to think regarding Ford's allegations.* If the "meetoo" crowd wasn't as vocal and stories of Crosby and others weren't in the news everyday I wonder if her story would be more reflective of a goofy, HS party with some drinking going on and teenagers acting like teenagers. There was no rape. She claims "attempted rape".* I find it hard to believe (as does my wife) that a normal, well adjusted and mentally stable person would remain "traumatized" over this, 36 years later.* But that's just an opinion. Plus, the more one thinks about it, the more her whole story doesn't make sense, not from a standpoint of what she believes happened and who was involved but more related to how it has affected her. Lots of holes in it.* She claims she doesn't like to fly due to claustrophobia caused by the "attack".* Yet she flies regularly all over the place both for business and for pleasure. She says her academic studies suffered due to it. The "assult" occurred in 1982 (she thinks) when she was a HS sophomore. Yet, in 1988, four years after HS she earned an undergraduate degree in experimental psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.* Then a Master's degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University in 1991, followed by a PhD in educational psychology from the University of Southern California.* She also earned another Master's in epidemiology from Stanford University School of Medicine in 2009. Hard to imagine what she would have accomplished had her academic studies not "suffered" due to this on going trauma.* Heck, her multiple degrees makes Harry look like a dunce. I saw a time line the other day and she seemed to have totally forgotten it until there was a hazy reference in 2012. I would ask, what else happened in 2012? I do agree the story is shaky at best. She got a ride to the party but we never heard what happened to the driver. Did someone really just turn her loose at a drinking party and drive away? Maybe I missed it but how did she get home? If it was a "20 minute drive" it had to be hours walking and there were no cell phones so she didn't call a cab. My bet is this whole thing blows over and we never hear from her again. I believe her testimony was that she can't remember how she got to the party nor how she got home.** She can't even remember where the party was or when. Just heard a non-political prosecutor say that if she had filed a criminal complaint with the sketchy information she provided at the hearing it would never be considered for prosecution.* According to the prosecutor the law requires far more specificity as to what, where and when in order to charge anyone with anything. I don't remember the details of a lot of parties I attended when I was a teen and of course I didn't have the trauma of being attacked at one of those gatherings. See if you can figure out what that means, eh? I've also often tried to recall the details of events that happened early in my life and when discussing them with others who would be familiar with them I have sometimes been corrected my recollection, especially of the details.* It's normal* to not recall all the *exact* details of events from years ago. I seriously question the extent of* long term "trauma" in a otherwise well-adjusted, mentally healthy 50 something year old woman with a good job, 2 kids and advanced degrees.* It just doesn't add up and some of her testimony seems to have some holes in it. Obviously, I am not qualified to judge but in recent conversations with a few women all over the age of 50 about this, I am not alone in my questioning. Here's what I speculate may have happened: Ford is an accomplished member of academia living in California. It's reasonable to assume her political leanings are of the progressive-liberal persuasion, very common in her area and in her profession. It is very possible that when Kavanaugh's name came up as a potential nominee she recalled having known him or "of" him back in high school. She may have commented to friends and/or associates of her remembrance of him and of a high school party that she "thinks" he was in attendance.* She may have also have mentioned an encounter with someone at that party of the nature she described in her testimony. Those friends/associates, likely to also be of the progressive- liberal mindset and perhaps more political in their anti-Trump activism encouraged her to speak up, resulting in the letter sent to Dianne Feinstein* but imploring Feinstein to keep her identity confidential. Here's where the true nature of your party becomes exposed. Fienstein was more interested in using this letter as a means of promoting her anti-Trump politics than protecting the identity of Ford.* So, at the right time and place, when it looked like Kavanaugh's nomination was on a course for confirmation, she dropped the bomb.* Somehow, mysteriously, the letter was leaked to the press.* The chain of custody of that letter and it's contents consisted of two people.* Ford and Fienstein. Some have reported that it was Fienstein who recommended the left wing activist attorney to Ford. The Dems also didn't want Ford to provide testimony privately as Grassley offered.* They *wanted* a public display, particularly because of the current "meetoo" movement.* Ford testified that she either didn't understand Grassley's offer or was unaware of it. So, Ford became a sacrifice for political purposes by your party, much like what they are doing to Kavanaugh.* People don't matter. Political power and leverage is all that matters. If the "meetoo" movement was not so prevalent in the media, I suspect the public spectacle, arranged and orchestrated by the Dems on national TV and cable would never have happened. I'll certainly bow to your expertise in electrical-optical plating or whatever it was that built your business and made your fortune. That sort of applied science is way over my knowledge base and pay grade. But from your posts here over the years, I don't think you know much about what may plague the human mind or psyche, other than from a couple of samples. I don't believe Dr. Ford's coming forward had anything to do with her politics, nor do I question Senator Feinstein's motivation. The senator said she was asked to keep the letter confidential. Did you think an anti-woman right-wing lawyer would be recommended... Kavanaugh is a bozo. I can form some conclusions (as can anyone) simply based on life experiences. I remind you that my comments were speculative on my part. I fully admit that I don't know much about what may plague the human mind or psyche. Unfortunately nor do psychiatrist and others in the treatment of mental health issues or even in the analysis of what causes us to think and act as we do. A few years ago I decided to take some courses on the subject because it was of interest and because I was dealing with someone with some mental health issues. I wanted to understand how this person dealt with challenges. I lost interest when I realized that I was chasing knowledge on a subject that my first professor admitted that even going back to Sigmund Freud the proven knowledge in this field is limited, much being purely theoretical and prone to debate. This short experience in education on the subject is certainly extremely limited and doesn't come remotely close to that of those holding degrees in the area of mental health but it was enough for me to decide I didn't want to spend more money or time learning about such an undefined, immature science. I am not much of a "la-la land" type. Sorry if that offends. Look at it this way: Harry thinks he's perfectly normal and rational. QED! === I think 'Airree is a perfectly normal narcisssist. Rational? Not so much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism |

It was when Ford was being asked about her fear of flying and she acknowledged it, blaming it on "claustrophobia" as a result of her experience 36 years ago.* She then went on to acknowledge however that she has regularly flown often in spite of this. But that's not the odd part. She was asked why she didn't accept Grassley's offer to conduct the testimony in California.* He said the committee would fly to her instead of her having to fly to WashDC. The offer was made in consideration of her claimed fear of flying and the delay it imposed on the whole process. In her testimony Ford expressed surprise that Grassley had made that offer. She said she was "unaware" of it and thanked Sen. Grassley. That's strange. A lawyer I heard last night addressed this.* He said that Grassley had sent three letters to Ford's attorneys regarding the offer to have the committee come to her rather than she come to WashDC.** He said that if her attorneys had withheld those letters from Ford* they were in violation of some codes of conduct governing their responsibilities. As her attorneys they could be subject to being disbarred for unethical behavior. Interestingly, at least one of the attorneys ... the woman ... is a known political activist and participates in the Trump "resist" movement. According to the lawyer, she was recommended to Ford by Dianne Feinstein after Ford sent Feinstein the "confidential" letter regarding her claimed sexual abuse by Kavanaugh. I am telling ya.* You just can't make this stuff up. Whatever. Hopefully, Dr. Ford's public testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee works out for the best. It didn't occur to me until after Kavanaugh's testimony, but the political screed he offered during it should be something that completely disqualifies him from the federal bench...in any judgeship. He blamed his delay in confirmation on the Democrats, on women, on the Clintons, on politics. He sounded like Trump. A federal judge isn't supposed to be political and isn't supposed to behave that way. He's really Trump's boy. He should be subjected to a writ of scire facias or impeached for expressing those partisan thoughts. As a wise man said "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you". (alternatively credited to Joseph Heller and Henry Kissinger) I saw a man who was surprised and frustrated by a partisan attack on him that seems to have no provable basis in fact. If this nomination does go down, I would not mind seeing him drag Ford and Feinstein into civil court and let them prove this was not just a politically motivated assault on his character. You might not mind it, but absent malice, Kavanaugh, a public figure, would get nowhere with a civil suit alleging libel or slander. It would be close to impossible for Kavanaugh to prove malice. Kavanaugh's tempermental outburst should be enough to do him in...hell, he doesn't have the temperment to serve as a judge in any court. I doubt he would do it but you can sue anyone for anything even if the objective is nothing but to get them under oath answering questions and proving their allegations. You may not have "malice" in the case of Ford, assuming she can demonstrate this was not just a political move but Feinstein was certainly malicious in the way she handled this. I also understand congress people are expected to be malicious political hacks so she has the perfect defense. I really think the democrats may be shooting themselves in the foot here tho. Kananaugh may be the least objectionable of the 3 on your core issues. You will have a hard time "Borking" 2 candidates in a row. That's not the objective.* They've got the delaying process down pat. They want to block Kavanaugh and then delay any replacement long enough for the mid terms plus 2 months.* Technically there may be time to rush another nominee through the process but unlikely because all the jerks in WashDC want to get home and get into heavy campaign mode. There's no doubt there are strong efforts to block Kavanaugh, and for good reason. I suppose if Kavanaugh is withdrawn, the Repubs could try to fast-track a replacement before the election and if not, certainly after the election. I have no problem with the Dems trying to block Kavanaugh ... for the right reasons like simple political differences ... but not for the ridiculous and disgusting reasons they have demonstrated over the past week. It is interesting that nobody has admitted that this is really just about Roe to them, at least not since they had the Ford thing to wave around. I do think this is the first time ever that I have seen a politician or a potential justice being crucified for what they might have done as a teenager. We were not even allowed to criticize what democrat sitting senators and governors did while they were in office. It really is bizarre.* And I also don't think this is as much about Roe vs. Wade as some Dems would like you to think.** The chances of a 40 something year old decision being overturned even with some strong conservatives on the bench are slim. It probably wouldn't even be accepted to be considered if a challenge ever made it up through the lower courts.** Those Dems talking about it are just trying to scare their pro-choice base to turn out the vote in November. I don't know what to think regarding Ford's allegations.* If the "meetoo" crowd wasn't as vocal and stories of Crosby and others weren't in the news everyday I wonder if her story would be more reflective of a goofy, HS party with some drinking going on and teenagers acting like teenagers. There was no rape. She claims "attempted rape".* I find it hard to believe (as does my wife) that a normal, well adjusted and mentally stable person would remain "traumatized" over this, 36 years later.* But that's just an opinion. Plus, the more one thinks about it, the more her whole story doesn't make sense, not from a standpoint of what she believes happened and who was involved but more related to how it has affected her. Lots of holes in it.* She claims she doesn't like to fly due to claustrophobia caused by the "attack".* Yet she flies regularly all over the place both for business and for pleasure. She says her academic studies suffered due to it. The "assult" occurred in 1982 (she thinks) when she was a HS sophomore. Yet, in 1988, four years after HS she earned an undergraduate degree in experimental psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.* Then a Master's degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University in 1991, followed by a PhD in educational psychology from the University of Southern California.* She also earned another Master's in epidemiology from Stanford University School of Medicine in 2009. Hard to imagine what she would have accomplished had her academic studies not "suffered" due to this on going trauma.* Heck, her multiple degrees makes Harry look like a dunce. I saw a time line the other day and she seemed to have totally forgotten it until there was a hazy reference in 2012. I would ask, what else happened in 2012? I do agree the story is shaky at best. She got a ride to the party but we never heard what happened to the driver. Did someone really just turn her loose at a drinking party and drive away? Maybe I missed it but how did she get home? If it was a "20 minute drive" it had to be hours walking and there were no cell phones so she didn't call a cab. My bet is this whole thing blows over and we never hear from her again. I believe her testimony was that she can't remember how she got to the party nor how she got home.** She can't even remember where the party was or when. Just heard a non-political prosecutor say that if she had filed a criminal complaint with the sketchy information she provided at the hearing it would never be considered for prosecution.* According to the prosecutor the law requires far more specificity as to what, where and when in order to charge anyone with anything. I don't remember the details of a lot of parties I attended when I was a teen and of course I didn't have the trauma of being attacked at one of those gatherings. See if you can figure out what that means, eh? I've also often tried to recall the details of events that happened early in my life and when discussing them with others who would be familiar with them I have sometimes been corrected my recollection, especially of the details.* It's normal* to not recall all the *exact* details of events from years ago. I seriously question the extent of* long term "trauma" in a otherwise well-adjusted, mentally healthy 50 something year old woman with a good job, 2 kids and advanced degrees.* It just doesn't add up and some of her testimony seems to have some holes in it. Obviously, I am not qualified to judge but in recent conversations with a few women all over the age of 50 about this, I am not alone in my questioning. Here's what I speculate may have happened: Ford is an accomplished member of academia living in California. It's reasonable to assume her political leanings are of the progressive-liberal persuasion, very common in her area and in her profession. It is very possible that when Kavanaugh's name came up as a potential nominee she recalled having known him or "of" him back in high school. She may have commented to friends and/or associates of her remembrance of him and of a high school party that she "thinks" he was in attendance.* She may have also have mentioned an encounter with someone at that party of the nature she described in her testimony. Those friends/associates, likely to also be of the progressive- liberal mindset and perhaps more political in their anti-Trump activism encouraged her to speak up, resulting in the letter sent to Dianne Feinstein* but imploring Feinstein to keep her identity confidential. Here's where the true nature of your party becomes exposed. Fienstein was more interested in using this letter as a means of promoting her anti-Trump politics than protecting the identity of Ford.* So, at the right time and place, when it looked like Kavanaugh's nomination was on a course for confirmation, she dropped the bomb.* Somehow, mysteriously, the letter was leaked to the press.* The chain of custody of that letter and it's contents consisted of two people.* Ford and Fienstein. Some have reported that it was Fienstein who recommended the left wing activist attorney to Ford. The Dems also didn't want Ford to provide testimony privately as Grassley offered.* They *wanted* a public display, particularly because of the current "meetoo" movement.* Ford testified that she either didn't understand Grassley's offer or was unaware of it. So, Ford became a sacrifice for political purposes by your party, much like what they are doing to Kavanaugh.* People don't matter. Political power and leverage is all that matters. If the "meetoo" movement was not so prevalent in the media, I suspect the public spectacle, arranged and orchestrated by the Dems on national TV and cable would never have happened. I'll certainly bow to your expertise in electrical-optical plating or whatever it was that built your business and made your fortune. That sort of applied science is way over my knowledge base and pay grade. But from your posts here over the years, I don't think you know much about what may plague the human mind or psyche, other than from a couple of samples. I don't believe Dr. Ford's coming forward had anything to do with her politics, nor do I question Senator Feinstein's motivation. The senator said she was asked to keep the letter confidential. Did you think an anti-woman right-wing lawyer would be recommended... Kavanaugh is a bozo. I can form some conclusions (as can anyone) simply based on life experiences. I remind you that my comments were speculative on my part. I fully admit that I don't know much about what may plague the human mind or psyche. Unfortunately nor do psychiatrist and others in the treatment of mental health issues or even in the analysis of what causes us to think and act as we do. A few years ago I decided to take some courses on the subject because it was of interest and because I was dealing with someone with some mental health issues. I wanted to understand how this person dealt with challenges. I lost interest when I realized that I was chasing knowledge on a subject that my first professor admitted that even going back to Sigmund Freud the proven knowledge in this field is limited, much being purely theoretical and prone to debate. This short experience in education on the subject is certainly extremely limited and doesn't come remotely close to that of those holding degrees in the area of mental health but it was enough for me to decide I didn't want to spend more money or time learning about such an undefined, immature science. I am not much of a "la-la land" type. Sorry if that offends. Look at it this way: Harry thinks he's perfectly normal and rational. QED! === I think 'Airree is a perfectly normal narcisssist. Rational? Not so much. Rational? You are a Republican, a party of a festering ****tangle of racists, Nazis, child molesters, and drunk, gang-raping preppie judges who want a promotion. === I have no political party that I identify with. |
