Pressley to introduce resolution to open impeachment inquiry against Kavanaugh
"We must demand justice for survivors and hold Kavanaugh accountable for his actions."

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) plans to introduce a resolution on Tuesday that would call for an impeachment inquiry to be opened against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh following a newly-reported allegation of sexual misconduct.

"I believe Christine Blasey Ford," she said in a statement. "I believe Deborah Ramirez. It is our responsibility to collectively affirm the dignity and humanity of survivors."

"Sexual predators do not deserve a seat on the nation's highest court and Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation process set a dangerous precedent," she continued. "We must demand justice for survivors and hold Kavanaugh accountable for his actions.

Not one accusation in the "Kavanaugh Trail" was "Proven to be True. Including this latest accusation. NOT ONE FRIGGIN THING !

What is it with this "Taliban Squad" anyway. They haven't been "Correct" on anything they want to accomplish yet ! jrSmiley_88_smiley_image.gif

Yup which leads to "consider the source" and those who support it.

It's not really a surprise that the people of that district are just as coo-coo as she is .....

Yeah we have one of them in Michigan.   Old "happy fingers" John Conyers old district that's basically ALWAYS been Democrat.

As bad as Tlaib is, she could still win that district if another marginally acceptable Dem doesn't run.   Abe Lincoln could run against her in that district and she would still win.

Actually, they aren't stupid at all.  It's just a political tactic that they're employing that they think will work.  Back in the 80's, when the Leftist scum started trying it, it was called "The Politics of Personal Destruction".  They don['t have to be correct, all they are trying to do is de-legitimize all of their opponents in the eyes of the public.  The libel laws currently in place make it almost impossible for a public figure to sue in order to get the accusers into court to make them back up their tripe with actual evidence.  Besides which, the biased media would simply ignore such a trial while heavily publicizing the initial slander.

Old "happy fingers" John Conyers old district that's basically ALWAYS been Democrat.

I believe that district includes Hamtramick, which has the largest percentage of Muslims in its population of any city in the country.  Used to be Polish, now it's Muslim.

If they haven't figured out by now, their tactics are ridicules, and get shutdown by numerous "Important" folks as idiotic (Reference AOC and her stupid complaints about "Illegals", and her FAKE crying), That makes them "STUPID" !

Remember when Mike Tyson got new management, that just kept telling him he was great, with not much training going on like it used to be when he was "Bad Ass" ?

That's the "Taliban 4" in a nutshell. Their self management SUCKS !

The objective is to drive all the competent conservatives out of politics, including the judiciary.  That will just leave the Leftists, who have no moral standards anyway, to assume the offices.

I think you might be missing something. Our education system. Right now, our system isn't teaching kids how to think critically. They are teaching them to think emotionally. As such, their tactics will work, eventually.

Great look on the same day the "reporters" who wrote published the story in the non-news section of the New York Times that is the impetus for this silly motion claim the NYT editors threw out the exculpatory information that they included in their submitted story.  

Now a member of Congress wants to impeach someone based on a story that was dishonestly edited to excite liberals.  This is the progressive movement in a nutshell, untethered to reality and lashing out as manipulated by tabloids.

They DIDN'T!  They purposefully made sure the 'investigation' was short and didn't even interview witnesses.  It was done that way so they could ram a misogynist liar through to 'stick it to the left'.  And now he is getting the scrutiny the gop made sure didn't happen back then.  By the way, did you know how many women have assaults as their first experience?

The first sexual experience for 1 in 16 U.S. women was forced or coerced intercourse in their early teens, encounters that for some may have had lasting health repercussions, a study suggests.

The experiences amount to rape, the authors say, although they relied on a national survey that didn’t use the word in asking women about forced sex.

Doesn't have anything to do with Kavanaugh. It does have everything to do with whiny Democrats not getting their way and trying to disparage someone because he isn't liberal enough for them and they realize that he won't vote in lockstep like the liberal Justices do so often.

I don't think you know what an investigation is.

All of the relevant people testified under oath. That's an investigation.

Two New York Times investigators then spent a year on the story trying to fund anything that was missed. The only thing they found out was that Ford's friends threatened her supposed witness and friend  to lie because Ford' story was not plausible, according to Ford's friend.

Oh dear, I know what a real investigation, why don't you investigate the investigation before you say stupid stuff.  NOT all of the relevant people were even interviewed, let alone testify under oath.  That is the freaking point, Kavanaugh was rammed through without care of the baggage he carried by Moscow Mitch and his misogynist party.  Enjoy it happening backwards, he will carry this scrutiny the rest of his time because the gop didn't care enough to vet him, covering up his drunken college days was more important. 

Ford's story was not only plausible, it was common.  Which is why I posted the stats on women and sexual abuse.  Read the fucker instead of blowing it off, your dismissal of women's experiences is annoying.  Why do you think you know more than the women who experienced this kind of thing?

The yahoos paraded about thus far are sorely lacking in credibility.

Looks like just more Democratic shenanigans to me. Couldn't block his confirmation, despite a STAR witness like Ford, so now let's attack him yet once again on spurious claims.

This is a big NOTHING-BURGER!

But I do love the fact that Democrats are willing and able to make fools of themselves all over again.

Would anyone on the left care to explain why these women didn't out against Kavanaugh sooner?

Following Bush’s inauguration as president, Kavanaugh worked in the White House as associate counsel (2001–03), as senior associate counsel (2003), and finally as assistant to the president and staff secretary (2003–06).

Chance #1 for them to come out against Kavanaugh. Doubtful his career would have gotten off the ground if they had.

Bush twice nominated Kavanaugh to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit—in 2003 and 2005—but the nominations were never voted upon by the Republican-controlled Senate . In January 2006 Bush again nominated Kavanaugh to the D.C. Circuit, and he was finally confirmed in May. Because the D.C. Circuit has jurisdiction over many federal administrative agencies, it plays a larger role than other appellate courts in adjudicating federal regulations.

Multiple chances here. It was in the news, they knew that Bush wanted him on a very prestigious/powerful court; but not a murmur from any of these women.

While serving on the D.C. Circuit, he also taught part-time at Yale Law School, the Georgetown University Law Center, and Harvard Law School, where he was first hired by Elena Kagan , then dean of the school and subsequently an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

Just thought I would throw that little tidbit in there. Seems Kagan must not have done a good background check on Kavanaugh. Where is the leftist lynch mob coming for her?

No, the shit show didn't start until Kavanaugh was nominated for the Supreme Court. Having power within the White House, being a Circuit Court judge, and even teaching aspiring future lawyers just wasn't important for them to come forward.

The women are about as credible as their timing. They lack important information such as where, when, and most importantly witnesses. They all also seem to be staunchly Democrats (What a shock!)  Kavanaugh must have an internal liberal radar.

If I were in the Senate I wouldn't have voted for Kavanaugh to be on the Supreme Court; but it would have been for a valid reason. Kavanaugh was the one that came up for the legal defense of water boarding and enhanced interrogation techniques. That is not someone I want serving on the Supreme Court.  But I would never side with the left shit show, and their smear campaign for impeachment.

Instead of concentrating on impeaching Trump and Kavanaugh; maybe take a hard look at the Democratic candidates riding in the insane exploding clown car running ever further left.

Start with Joe Biden. His "misspeaks" (to put it mildly) rival anything the hated Bush Jr or Trump have uttered. His creepy hands and personal boundary issues would be fresh meat for the left if he had an R behind his name. The media would ride him into the ground; he would never get out of the starting gate.

Next Cory Booker. Has been accused of sexual assault by a liberal gay man. Oh the hypocrisy saying Kavanaugh is unfit to serve only on baseless accusations.

Of course Booker has already admitted to forcefully groping a female high school friend against her will.  Of course he says "he learned from the experience, and it changed him and his views on women"

Follow up with Bernie Sanders. Accused of misusing campaign funds. Of course the entire left is in epileptic shock over Trump. 

Elizabeth Warren (aka the fake native american). If the left had any standards she wouldn't even be in the Senate. Just put an R behind her name and see what would happen.

Needless to say there is a lot of work for the left to do; but they can't seem to get past Trump and Kavanaugh.

The Democrats have already lost my vote. Sorry, whichever candidate comes rolling last out of the insane exploding clown car will have to be the biggest sellout in history to the radical base. McCain lost my vote for selling out to win the nomination from the hard right. I see no reason to change that policy. 

Maybe there are some independents that haven't made up their minds. Of course nothing can be done until the clown car is greatly thinned out; the explosive device removed; and the steering fixed to be it much closer to the center line.
