| The 45 Tough, Forbidden Questions A Normal Person Would Ask Christine Blasey Ford |
| 2018-09-27 |
| In the off-chance Christine Blasey Ford actually shows up and testifies ‐ I give it under 50% ‐ the wussy GOP senators on the Judiciary Committee are going to treat her with kid gloves, which is awful. No one making an accusation with such potentially catastrophic consequences for the accused (here, the accused may properly be called "the victim") should escape harsh, penetrating cross-examination. This is particularly true when the Jenga tower that is her lunchmeat story is teetering on the edge of collapse. ...Our GOP senators are more concerned with their reputations in the Beltway Bubble, while Normal people just want to get at the truth. And to get at it, their questioning would be very different than the kind of "We want to nurture and support you in this difficult time" garbage we’re likely to hear from people who should be shredding her flimsy fabric of lies. Here are questions I’d ask if I were a senator doing the questioning, along with some anticipated colloquy with my distinguished colleagues. |

| #35 "Imagine you wanted to hire a babysitter and several women told you - without evidence - that he's molested children." A better way to put it, imagine you wanted to hire a babysitter and one woman claimed without evidence that he molested children but couldn't provide any details at all and nobody backed her claim, not even her own family, and everyone that had anything to do with the incident in question said the the claim was false. Would you hire them or believe the one person was mistaken. |

| #30 On a cold rainy day, behind my little red wagon, we met pure evil (crying). Both Diane Feinstein and Christine Blasey Ford molested My Little Pony. The pony later hung itself outside a vegan sex toy shop. |

| #28 Besoeker, re. #5, it means her lawyer is paid by Soros. |

| #26 Would you ignore this and hire this person anyway? That's the horrible beauty of the Big Lie. |

| #24 Spend time with your son, my dear. You must enjoy the time while you can, for soon he will be a man. |

| #23 TW, the next two day is my weekend with my son (I'm divorced). I'll try, but I can't promise. |

| #22 g(r)omgoru, Mr. Wife and I will be away for a few days. Would you be so kind as to cover the Israel beat tomorrow through Monday? |

| #21 Its the precedent it sets. Liars lie, and they lie greatest when they know they can get away with it. Whatever mind Ford may have had, it is so smoked on adderall she can't remember whether she hates flying or not. And to answer your babysitting question - it depends on the credibility of the women making the accusation. The gaggle of meth whores were going around time claiming I snuck out to the park at night and was having an affair. Everyone who heard this, including my wife, laughed in their faces. Joys of a small town, where people will just make stuff up for the sake of making stuff up. |

| #20 but I don't see that she made all this up to prevent the confirmation of Kavanaugh. Maybe you should see a specialist |

| #19 ^And I'm sure they'll eager to have the same thing done to them. |

| #18 It isn't about the depth of the bench. The demoncrats now will know they can sink any nominee with accusations and feelings. Trump won't get anyone right of Stalin on the court. There is also a real risk of rage from the red state voters and them staying home this election cycle. The house will definitely be lost and most likely the senate as well. The left will be rewarded for its bad behavior and will continue to harass, bully and be even more violent to those that oppose them. It is truly win or go home time and the Republicans, like usual, will pick defeat. |

| #17 Why is this such a problem? There should be enough other conservative judges. |

| #16 It is over for this nominee. Posted by DarthVader I fear you are correct. |

| #15 I only get CNN here, sorry. But one member of the panel made a point I can't ignore: Imagine you wanted to hire a babysitter and several women told you - without evidence - that he's molested children. Would you ignore this and hire this person anyway? |

| #14 Here's my problem. Yes Ford's testimony has glaring gaps, but I don't see that she made all this up to prevent the confirmation of Kavanaugh. But without any details about time and place the accused has no means to defend himself. And this is just a terrible situation. |

| #13 I don't think she remembers correctly what she had for breakfast. Who refers to an airport's IATA in a manner as casually as picking out a soda for lunch? People who fly a lot and enjoy it, that's who. And she farking lied about the who paid questions; anyone who has played bullshit (card game) against a first time player could see that. This farce, this sham. I'm not sure what is worse: that this is the best the anti-justice league could come up with (even after the flying ploy to stall for coaching) or that people are believing it, or playing along. |

| #12 Because this is Kabuki theater EC. The demoncrats are giving campaign speeches before each question and this is giving the eGOP cover to vote against him. It is over for this nominee. |

| #11 What genius did decide on that kind of questioning format? |
| Posted by: European Conservative 2018-09-27 14:40 |
| #10 Her lawyers say they're working pro bono. Who does that and why ? |
| Posted by: Besoeker 2018-09-27 14:09 |
| #9 Doesn't matter. She's just an excuse for Dems & RINOs to vote against Trump's appointee. |

| #8 Ford’s Testimony Is Full Of Discrepancies [VIDEO] Here’s a short list of what we’ve seen thus far: Ford is still unclear about where the house was and exactly what date the alleged assault happened. She claims that after the alleged attack she ran to a first-floor bathroom and shut the door. After that she says that Kavanaugh and Mark Judge came banging down the stairs laughing at her and talking about her. When pressed about what they said, she admitted she couldn’t hear them and IN HER WORDS she “assumed they were.” Well, which is it, Dr. Ford? They were talking about you or you heard people from behind a closed door that you couldn’t possibly identify just talking and laughing at the party? There were other people there because it was a “party.” That requires more people than the good doctor and two boys. She has no way of knowing who she heard on the stairs from behind the closed door (assuming this alleged event even happened). She’s not clear how she got home but didn’t have her license yet so who drove her home? She can’t recall What she DOES want is for someone to go access Mark Judge’s employment records from that time to verify when he worked at Safeway so that she could then inform the world of the exact date she was attacked. She claims Mark Judge was one of her attackers, but then went out of her way to try and talk to him at his job several weeks later? She admits in her testimony that the WaPo ignored her first tip. She admits in her testimony that she texted the tip line again but still wanted things kept confidential. She admits in response to questions that the quibbling over the second door in the home remodel ended up being more about curb appeal rather than about memories of a long buried sexual assault. She admits in response to questions that she isn’t sure exactly how or where or with whom she viewed her therapy records and isn’t clear as to whether she could recall exactly how the WaPo reporter got hold of those records for the article. She has claimed that she only told her husband and her therapist about the attack. But NOW during testimony she states several times that she talked to people on the beach? |

| #6 Doesn't know who paid for the polygraph. Bullshi*. |
| Posted by: Besoeker 2018-09-27 13:02 |
| #5 She is a mess. What the hell word is illusivate senator? 'The polygraph was stressful.....I enjoyed it, it was fun.' I think her lawyer just rolled his eyes. This is a cat shitting out hot pepper diarrhea bad. She needs a couple downers and some bedrest. |

| #4 She is looking pathetic on TV and I am sad that she is actually a professor teaching students. |
