Ok, CG, you can interpret it whatever way suits your needs, however, you should consider that there has been an intensive effor to push us into a more interdependent worldwide ecionomy, and call it globalism. It is not an economic trade deal, but an interdependent relationship that allows other countries to make rules YOU have to follow. That was also a move towards a world wide government, aka "The New World Order". Where did we hear that? Did you hear Trump today refute "Globalism"?

" When did the President become dictator,"
Yes. I completely agree the Executive Branch and the president have way too much power, esp the de facto power to declare war.

"why do you think Trump is rolling back so many EOs?"
[Sarcasm]Maybe he shares my views on executive power. He's doing his utmost to role back the precedents set after WWII. The trouble is dark forces are trying to maintain the office's power because they hope to get someone who owes them personal favors. So President Trump acts like an attention-seeking clown whose authoritarian impulses are checked by his ineptitude. It's like Seldon putting into motion a plan to achieve the opposite of everything he says. We just have to keep telling ourselves that: the opposite of everything he says and does is the end goal. And if there's some tax and regulatory reform, we can take that. We're cherry picking. We're looking for evidence that confirms our desires. We surely can find it and keep telling ourselves everything else is a complex plan. [/sarcasm]
Sorry, the real answer is it's all attention seeking from someone with a background in the publicity business.

Well, you should, because it is not just games, these clowns will seek complete control, why do you think Trump is rolling back so many EOs? They have become the substitute for congress, which may have been intentionally sabotaged to push us this way, now that I look at it. Consider that the use of EO's date back to the 50's or earlier (I have not looked into it, but will), and they have the force of law? When did the President become dictator, and no one noticed? These are not games, they are a war for the soul of the country, that was what Ayn Rand was warning us of, what happens when you lose, and what you have to do to regain your freedom.

I think you're completely missing my point. I'm saying if it is politically motivated, I do not believe the confirmation is the primary target.

I resist the urge to give much thought to political games.

UnConstitutional is the deep state policy platform that is the thickest part. They don't want ANYTHING Constitutional, because it implies free will, free thought and they want you to OBEY.

Dershowitz speaks out against the ongoing charade regarding the Kavanaugh hearing.

Un American? Yes. Does the left care? No.

They are doing pretty good with this one, Grassley says he has granted an extension for the crone to "decide" if she wants to testify. Republicans are so stupid.....

Any odds that they "find" another accuser over the weekend?

Thanks "Excellar" for this news. I wonder why Fox News hasn't uncovered this info. this would blow a really big hole in the Leftist agenda. Do mind if I email this info to the worst Senator in Az. Jeff Flakey?

Really, not political?

Any excuse will work, when rabid crazy behavior, breaking Senate rules and paid protestors failed....now the allegations with no merit or facts, what next?

"to delay past the midterm"
I don't think that's the political ploy, if there is one. They would be thrilled, but I don't think that's the primary plan. I think the plan, assuming it's a ploy, is to goad people who want the confirmation to go forward into slandering the alleged victim. That would motivate people who don't like crassness or meanspirtedness to vote in the midterms against Republicans. That could be why I hear some critics of Kavanaugh saying we have to decide whom to believe. They want someone to say she's a lying piece of crap, and then Democrats can wrongly say that's the Republican line.

I hate this stuff. I read about it out of morbid fascination like watching a car wreck.

Probably that she was going to come testify, that certainly seems fake now...

Now there's the tought, no one has ever wanted to mention the rape claims against Clinton, and how the same people championing this incident seem to have totally ignored every "victim" then. It makes them appear that much more low, unsavory, and evil. The whole thing is just really, really bad theater. as Q says "They are STUPID".

Exactly, you cannot investigate a 35 year old allegation of "something happened one night at a house". No dates, names or facts EXCEPT "it was him". Now, we haven't even gotten to why didin't you come forward when he was a sitting federal judge, does it matter, if we are talking about right/wrong, what position he is in? This is why this is all being said to be a political ploy, to delay past the midterms when they think they will control the house and senate again and be able to derail any nominee, but the ONE they want. If they all gave up on their "stack the court" game, and went for "constitutional ruler" instead, none of this is needed. All this does is discredit the SCOTUS into a political arena, which we do not need at all.

I don't know, the real problem is go looking for real data, facts, truth and you are met with a boatload of made up stories, usually using the "don't shame the victim (unless they are conservative)" and : we need to investigate till after the elections (oops, I mean they complete it)". The other side is pretty blunt, and getting blunter. But I take blunt over touchy feely made up nonsense:

The first report I saw that gave all three names said she is a professor at Palo Alto University. This triggered my BS detector. I used to live in Palo Alto, CA, and there is no "Palo Alto University" in the area -- the only University in town is Stanford. Does it exist somewhere else?

Agreed.

This Ford thing is too vague to get a decent handle on. She can't seem to remember exactly where or when the "incident" occurred so I figure, if anything happened at all, she must have been drinking and possibly drugging at that party and got all paranoid and frightened over nothing and ran out and remembers it all as something terrible. That scenario could have been she went alone to a room in a stupor to chill out and then Brett and one of his buddies came stumbling in drunk and scared the crap out of her. Thinking "OMG I'm going to get raped and killed" she ran out and that's what she remembers. Meanwhile Brett, along with his buddy, at the time hasn't a clue what this girl is screaming about and doesn't bother remembering any of it because it only took a few seconds and he was under age drinking, too. Then again... maybe the "incident" actually happened with someone else and Ford put Kavanaugh's face on it to get even for his mom's ruling against her parents, her support for the failed Evil Hag, and Trump Derangement Syndrome taking effect.

Maybe Kavanaugh should temporarily change his name to Bill Clinton and then the left would just shove Ford under the bus.

Some commentators and people to weigh in whether they believe the allegations. I find this absurd. As a scientific person, I resist even guessing before having evidence. We have no way of knowing. I would never dismiss such claims, but I don't think they should have any bearing on the confirmation. It really looks like a political ploy. It may not be. But regardless I see no reason it should affect the confirmation.

I have put up with those who supposedly represent me act like little children trying to influence adults. If they grow a spine, Ala Trump there might still be a chance that we can carry on.
Prof. Ford doesn't care about an incident that happened 35 years ago, but, urged on by Feinstein and the like, all she cares about is Delay. And if they get away with it, look for it to continue into the foreseeable future.

"...I'm through and the country can go to hell. It's not worth saving." I get the same melancholy thoughts, Herb7734. Never had such thoughts up until recently. Defend and respect the nation and its symbols? If a chance of maintaining a free America? YES! If somehow America morphs into a socialist/communist sh-t hole? NO! Let it die.

That I don't know. Rush just said that it turned out to be fake news.

I can believe the CIA thing as, if she made such an accusation against Gorsuch, she should be arrested and tried for false report etc... They could then dig into her background.

The whole story, her story, or what part...?

She also will not testify...so thats settled, another Dumbocrap make up story falls apart....I am sure we are in 6 digits by now on number of lies that have collapsed...

Lots of new rumors about this accuser have popped up on Gab just this (Tuesday) afternoon; if you really want to see the show in real time you should go there. Here's the list I found today.

(1) DiFi doubts the accusation is "completely truthful" -- because (2) the same accuser sent her a similar letter of accusation against Neil Gorsuch when he was nominated.
(3) Ford (the accuser) is angry at DiFi for making her identity public. (4) She has gone into hiding, and (5) does not intend to appear at the Senate hearing. In which case, (6) Sen. Chuck Grassley says the hearing will be cancelled and a vote taken.
(7) Ford is a CIA agent.

For now I think I believe the first six of these.
