Newton’s Third Law of Politics is about to strike at democrats

Newton's Third Law stipulates that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In physics, this happens at the same time. Politically, it may not occur at the same time.

Call it Newton's Third Law of Politics.

I once wrote that while the left wing media was playing checkers, Trump was playing chess. That just happened in these hearings. I knew immediately by the confidence with which Trump ordered the FBI investigation.

He knew everything. He was setting democrats up.

The FBI investigation is said to be finished perhaps by today and a vote on Kavanaugh is planned for Friday. Feinstein made a feeble effort to once again delay everything.

Now for the bad news for democrats.

Ford is a liar.

Prior to her committee appearance, Ford scrubbed her social media, her high school yearbooks were taken off line and her criminal record was scrubbed.

She told the committee a number of lies. Margot Cleveland:

But the problem for Ford is not that she doesn’t remember everything: It is that everything she remembers changes at her convenience.

First, Ford’s testimony that the assault occurred in the summer of 1982, when just 15, conflicted with both her therapist’s notes and the text message Ford sent to the Washington Post. According to reporter Emma Brown, Ford claimed she had been assaulted in the mid-1980s; and the therapist’s notes stated Ford had been the victim of an attempted rape in her late teens. But by that time, Kavanaugh was attending Yale, so Ford’s recasting of the attack to the summer of 1982 is suspect.

Ford’s retelling of the alleged sexual assault also included several conflicting accounts of the number of individuals at the gathering. The therapist’s notes stated that four boys had attempted to rape Ford. (Ford claims her therapist confused the total number of boys at the party with the number of boys who had attacked her.)

Later, in her July letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Ford again placed the number of individuals at the party at five, stating the gathering included her and four other individuals. But Ford then identified the four by name, and that group included three boys and one girl. And finally, during her Senate testimony, Ford unequivocally stated that “there were four boys I remember specifically being there,” in addition to her friend Leland Keyser.

Another significant change in the scenario came when Ford testified about the location of the party. She had originally told the Washington Post that the attack took place at a house not far from the country club. Yet, when Mitchell revealed a map of the relevant locations and reminded Ford that she had described the attack as having occurred near the country club, Ford backtracked: “I would describe [the house] as it's somewhere between my house and the country club in that vicinity that’s shown in your picture.”  Ford added that the country club was a 20-minute drive from her home. Finally, Ford altered her description of the interior layout of the home and the details of the party and her escape.  A “short” stairwell turned into a “narrow” one. The gathering moved from a small family room where the kids drank beer (and which Ford distinguished from the living room through which she fled the house) when she spoke to the Washington Post, to a home described in her actual testimony as having a "small living room/family room-type area.” And in an obvious tell to the change, Ford suggested that she could draw a floor plan of the house.

And then there's this letter

I’m surprised they didn’t roll out a Yoga Mat and light some scented Candles for that Nutcase when she walked into the Meeting Room.

Newton’s Third Law of Politics is about to strike at democrats.

Fourth Law: If you throw a lot of shit up in the air, some of it we’ll fall back down on you.

But democrats just can't pass up a goid $hit flinging? Everyone recognizes it for what it is. Everyone knows the damage to the people and our institutions. The media enjoys the low thinking demands on sure high ratings.

They are like Wiley Coyote with fresh new plans on catching the Road Runner.

I learned that phrase from the point man in a $100 million federal contracting scam.

26 U.S. Code § 7213 - Unauthorized disclosure of information

(1) Federal employees and other persons

It shall be unlawful for any officer or employee of the United States or any person described in section 6103(n) (or an officer or employee of any such person), or any former officer or employee, willfully to disclose to any person, except as authorized in this title, any return or return information (as defined in section 6103(b)). Any violation of this paragraph shall be a felony punishable upon conviction by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution, and if such offense is committed by any officer or employee of the United States, he shall, in addition to any other punishment, be dismissed from office or discharged from employment upon conviction for such offense.

Hahaha. Winning! I’m not yet tired of “Winning!”. The DIMs?LIBs must be crushed to dust if the Republic and Free America are to survive intact.

The above post relates to the NY Times getting Trump’s tax records.

But democrats just can't pass up a goid $hit flinging? Everyone recognizes it for what it is. Everyone knows the damage to the people and our institutions. The media enjoys the low thinking demands on sure high ratings.

Remember, the Media has protected the Democrats from this stuff for decades.

Only Democrats who fell out of favor with the Media get attacked.

They may not have followed the Media's directions fully enough or been far enough to the left, as with LBJ at the end.

They may have been part of an internal fight among Democrats.

But, by and large, when a Republican jay-walks, it has been a national scandal, but major crimes by Democrats (such as Hillary) are downplayed and ignored.

The Media cannot get away with that any longer. There is too much alternate media.

[Political Junkie Too]

Don't forget about the irresistible force of politics paradox: What happens when Democrat overreach meets Republican stupidity?

There are two absolutes in American politics:

1. Republicans will do something absolutely stupid to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

2. Democrats will so overreach to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
