Interestingly, though Kavanaugh's team scrambled to find someone who would call Ramirez a liar, no one did. I interviewed the Yale friend they produced, and when pressed, she declined to say Ramirez was lying, or was politically motivated.

I haven't had time to get to this yet but it is certainly gaining a lot of attention.

@mysteryman841,
OMG....looks like there is at least one gofundme for Kavanaugh's security costs too (although I'd be surprised if the government wasn't funding all of his costs on this front).

Feminism is a grotesque fraud perpetrated on society by its governing elite. It is designed to weaken the American social and cultural fabric in order to introduce a friendly fascist New World Order. Its advocates are sanctimonious charlatans who have grown rich and powerful from it. They include a whole class of liars and moral cripples who work for the elite in various capacities: government, education and the media. These imposters ought to be exposed and ridiculed.

Women´s oppression is a lie. Sex roles were never as rigid as feminists would have us believe. My mother had a successful business in the 1950´s importing watch straps from Switzerland. When my father´s income increased, she was content to quit and concentrate on the children. Women were free to pursue careers if they wanted to. The difference was that their role as wife and mother was understood, and socially validated, as it should be.

Call it anything you wish, there is an agenda to tear us apart and Trump has 0 to do with it.

So Judge put these up on YouTube to share with other people??? And he's the witness who's going to vouch for Kavanaugh?

@Blickers,
In 25 countries pollsters have asked about the competence of heads of government. Presidents Putin and Trump are not doing very well.

Trump’s International Ratings Remain Low, Especially Among Key Allies

In Britain, only 28 percent said they had confidence in Trump, while in France and Germany the numbers were below 10 percent. Throughout his eight years in office, Barack Obama enjoyed a confidence rating topping 60 percent in these countries.

In Japan, while 78 percent of respondents expressed confidence in Obama by the time he left office, only 30 percent expressed confidence in Trump this year. That number, however, is better than Trump's performance last year: 24 percent.

The pollsters highlight Israel as an exception. In 2016, 49 percent of Israelis said they had confidence in Obama, compared with Trump's 69-percent performance today.
But Obama’s high mark during his presidency among Israelis, in 2014, was higher than Trump’s today.

Funny they do not like America
That poll actually wasn't about America (or the USA) but about Trump's international ratings.

Children's character Matilda has been portrayed as a statue standing up to US president Donald Trump to celebrate the book's 30th anniversary.

The figures at the Roald Dahl Museum in Buckinghamshire were created as part of a "reimagining" of the schoolgirl, three decades on.

Trump was the public's top choice for the heroine's modern-day nemesis, the Roald Dahl Story Company said.

Matilda stood up to headmistress Miss Trunchbull in the 1988 book.

The temporary statues at Great Missenden, where Dahl lived for 36 years, are positioned in fields opposite the town's library.

The building was the inspiration for Mrs Phelps' library, where Matilda devours classic literature by the age of four and three months.

Bernie Hall, from The Roald Dahl Story Company, said: "Matilda demonstrates that it's possible for anyone, no matter how small and powerless they feel, to defeat the Trunchbulls in their own lives - a message that feels even more relevant today than it did 30 years ago."

As part of the celebrations, Sir Quentin Blake has drawn eight images of Matilda Wormwood aged in her 30s.

Roald Dahl, who also wrote The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach, died in 1990, aged 74.

Mr Trump topped a public poll about what Matilda's life would be like now, including who she would be standing up to, with Prime Minister Theresa May coming second and TV presenter Piers Morgan third.

More than half of those who voted said that she would also remain best friends with fellow student Lavender, while fans thought Bruce Bogtrotter - who devoured a whole cake in the book - would now be a Great British Bake Off contestant.

@Builder,
I didn't know you had been raped by Kavanaugh. Did it hurt, or did you enjoy it?

The Reason For The Public Torture Of Brett Kavanaugh


Overthink much?

So how does this "ritual defamation" differ from other cases where prominent people's misdeeds are exposed, where powerful people's lies are questioned, where the corruption of the old-boy network is revealed for all to see?

Exactly how are we supposed to handle these high-visibility celebrity cases? "Oh, don't raise any questions about possible dishonesty, wouldn't want to embarrass the poor judge." And, of course, this phenomenon only happens when "radical leftists" victimize Republicans. Thirty years of innuendo against the Clintons — hey, that's the pursuit of justice.

How's that Dr. Ford-CIA story going?

Xo th e pompous liar in chief, with over 5000 falsehoods to his discredit since he has been in office, is complaining about someone else lying? Look to your own mouth, Donnie, you're still the worst.

@coldjoint,
It's not 1950's anymore, joint. It'll never be again. Get over it.
