We  don’t know, yet, if Judge Kavanaugh is guilty of the crime for which he has been accused by Ford or the other two women. But I do know a kangaroo court when I see one. The accused has the right to face his accuser. And no one has the right to be treated differently in a court case because all are equal before the law. That the Democrats suggest that the accuser has the right to demand who and where and when and by whom she will be questioned is beyond the pale. That four witnesses suggested by Blasey-Ford say they know nothing about this accusation  speaks volumes about the intentions of the Democrats.

And then there is Debbie Ramirez, who in a New Yorker article alleged Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a Yale University party. Another, oh dear, I can’t remember much of it because I was in a drinking game. The witnesses she named have no idea what she is talking about. No one contacted by the press knows what she is talking about but that didn’t stop the media from sharing uncorroborated accusations. #FakeNews anyone?

The feelings of women I guess are more delicate than those of a man. We certainly do not want to hurt their feelings! But the feelings of a man? Who cares? Kid gloves for women. If women want to be treated like men then it must be in sickness and in heath and if you are going to play with the big boys you better put on your big boy pants. You don’t get a mulligan for being a woman when you play in the same sand box.

Female Democrats, Senator Feinstein, Kamal Harris,  Kirsten Gillibrand, Anna Eschoo, and Mazie Hirono in Congress say they believe the accusations made by Christine Blasey Ford. After all, women don’t lie.

Really?

What is that story about the first woman? Eve? What happened there? Oh right. By gosh by golly she lied and got Adam in trouble. The archetypal woman, Eve, lied. But women never lie about assault. And these democratic women believe her with all their power and might. Sadly, they have no similar compunction regarding, or compassion for the ex-girlfriend  of Keith Ellison, Karen Monahan.

“I’ve been smeared, threatened, isolated from my own party. I provided medical records from 2017, stating on two different Dr. Visits, I told them about the abuse and who did it. My therapist released records stating I have been dealing and healing from the abuse,” she wrote on social media. “Four people, including my supervisor at the time, stated that I came to them after and shared the exact story I shared publicly, I shared multiple text between me and Keith, where I discuss the abuse with him and much more. As I said before, I knew I wouldn’t be believed.”

The virtuous, self righteous Democrats will not help a woman who at the time she was assaulted did all the right things to make a case and has everything that Blasey-Ford does not have and yet not a Democratic peep.Nothing. Nada. Real time attack and no sympathy for her. They are too busy promoting a story that is more than 30 years old that happened to a teenager when she was DRUNK  and whose memories were “recovered”  in 2012 in therapy.

Let’s talk about recovered memories shall we. It was believed that repressed or dissociated memories had to be recovered in order for the person to ‘heal.’ Seems, though,

“that what appear to be newly remembered (i.e. recovered) memories of past trauma are sometimes accurate, sometimes inaccurate, and sometimes a mixture of accuracy and inaccuracy;  that much of what is recalled cannot be confirmed or disconfirmed; and that, because of these two beliefs, reports of past trauma based on such recovered memories are not reliable enough to be the sole basis for legal decisions.”

Blasey-Ford has said she does not recall who owned the house where the alleged attack occurred, nor why there was a gathering there or exactly when the incident occurred.

Could it be that her memory has been damaged because she was drinking at the time of the event? Was this a one-off drunken experience or had she gone to many house parties where she drank?

This is important because studies show

“while there are several parts of the brain affected by alcohol during the teenage years there are two areas of the brain that are particularly sensitive to alcohol during this period including the hippocampus which is responsible for memory and learning. Studies of adolescents show that heavy and extended alcohol use is associated with a 10% reduction in the size of the hippocampus. It also shows that the function of the hippocampus is uniquely sensitive to alcohol at this time and that alcohol may be poisonous to the nerve cells of the hippocampus causing them to be damaged or destroyed.”

For adolescents, it takes less alcohol to constitute a binge. Downing just three drinks in a row is binging for boys 9 to 13 or for any girl under 17. Among boys 14 to 15, it’s four drinks.

People forget what happens when they are drunk because alcohol makes it harder for the brain to turn short-term memories into long-term ones.

The women standing with Ford and who may be standing with new  accusers are arrogant, entitled, smug, privileged women in Congress. Should not all of us be concerned that these women so quickly believe stories that have no corroboration? Do they make other political decisions based on the same criteria of “I believe”? Yet, when this is over they will suffer no consequences if they believed the wrong party.

But the women they are bringing forward,what will happen to them when the truth comes out? They have been aided by women in power in dropping bombs on this proceedings in order to blow them up.  These women are being treated as disposable human beings. They are women sacrificed for the greater good by the women in charge. The ends justify the means.Collateral damage be damned.

The Democrats will do anything, as they have shown in the past, to prevent a Republican President from appointing a judge because what do Republicans know-those Deplorables!  You know the ones who according to Peter Strzock smell. “Just went to a Southern Virginia Walmart. I could smell the Trump support.” When running for President, Obama referred to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” But I bet they can put their hand on the bible and swear to tell the truth the whole truth so help them God!

These are the people,  according to Democrats, who cannot be trusted with choosing a judge for the Supreme Court. They just aren’t capable.

The day will come when the sons of these women and their cohorts will be accused of some kind of sexual assault. Then we will learn if these self-proclaimed pious women really do believe that women, survivors, never lie, and turn on their sons.

I leave you with this conversation on The View in 2016. Sums up the gross hypocrisy of the Democrats; particularly the women.

“People have to understand, it’s policy. Teddy Kennedy. Remember Chappaquiddick? Am I the oldest person in the room? Chappaquiddick. I mean, a girl drowns and he abandons her and she drowned and women still voted for Teddy Kennedy. Why? Because he voted for women’s rights. That’s why. That’s the bottom line of it in my opinion. I mean, I don’t like either one of them, to tell you the truth, Teddy or Bill. They’re both dogs as far as I’m concerned. But I still will vote for Bill Clinton because he votes in my favor.”

I have run out of words to describe these Progressive women.
