Christine Blasey Ford

Friday 26th of April 2024

Republicans say I'll listen to the lady,  but we're going to bring this to a close. Here's what I want to tell you: in the very near future, Judge Kavanaugh will be on the United States Supreme Court.

Selfie Once he was selected and it seemed like he was popular and a sure vote, I was calculating daily the risk/benefit for me of coming forward, and wondering whether I would just be jumping in front of a train that was headed where it was headed anyway and that I would just be personally annihilated.  Christine Blasey Ford to the Senate Judiciary Committee, September 27, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
The Senate Had [Christine Blasey] Ford not been white – and from the professional class – you have to wonder whether the Republican men on the [Judiciary] committee would have completely dropped their patently phony concern for her welfare and stabbed her in the front instead of the back.

It is absolutely incredible the lengths to which some people will go for a free polygraph test. Christine Blasey Ford portrayed by John Oliver, September 30, 2018  © 2018 Kwiple.com
Snapshot When this week began, the biggest fear for many was that the [Senate Judiciary] Committee would not believe Christine Blasey Ford. But, by the time the week ended, it seemed that something darker might have happened because it seems their response was, “Oh, we believe you. We just don't care.” Christine Blasey Ford portrayed by John Oliver, September 30, 2018  © 2018 Kwiple.com

Supreme Court The FBI sacrificed her [Christine Blasey Ford] to the gale force political pressure applied by the [dark money] scheme [to capture the court] to get this well-auditioned nomineee [Brett Kavanaugh] into place. And let's get real. You don't apply gale force political pressure for judges who are just going to call balls and strikes. $400 million, $400 million has been spent in dark money on this court capture scheme. For $400 million, you don't want balls and strikes; you want judges who will throw the game for you. You want what you paid for: a captured Court, and if you look at its track record, that's this Court. It's the Court that dark money built, and it's delivering.

Trumpists say  You know what women are thinking? ‘This could be my son. This could be my husband.’ If it were me – I'm Sicilian – I would have been hitting people. What they did to him was criminal.
