Republicans learn nothing. Ever. They make the same mistakes over and over and over and over… without end.
One of the mistakes they forever make is that they cede the language to the Left. Once you do that, you are already halfway toward losing the argument. In the case of Christine Blasey Ford and her bullshit allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, that is exactly what they are doing.
Even before her Senate testimony was complete, conservative pundits and Republican strategists (exaggerated eye roll) were on TV telling us that Ford’s testimony was “credible.” They have not stopped since. Almost every time I hear someone on the right discussing this shameful circus of a confirmation process, they begin their comments by telling us how “credible” or “believable” or “sincere” or “heartfelt” or “genuine” this woman appears to be. I would like to ask a question as seriously as I can… Are you F#CKING KIDDING ME?? Were we watching the same hearing?
I was a prosecutor. I was a defense attorney. I have been through many trials and have examined many witnesses. I did not find her to be credible in the least. From her obviously fake almost-crying to her 12-year-old intentionally-raspy valley girl voice, I found her entire performance to be nothing but cringe-inducing bad acting. Perhaps Alyssa Milano, the washed-up child actress who was present for the hearing, was her coach. That would certainly explain why Ford’s acting was so abysmal. For all her emotion, not one tear. Not even one marginally-watery eye. Did you see any redness in her face indicative of a person on the verge of tears? Me neither. How about a runny nose? Did you see any sniffling from the good Dr. who is so well-educated that she doesn’t even know the meaning of the word “exculpatory.” Seems to me, all this woman learned in all her years of schooling was how to pronounce the word “hippocampus.” And let us not forget her complete lack of EVIDENCE. But I digress. Back to the genius Republicans who keep referring to her as “credible.”
Let me be clear. I do not believe that I am alone in my thinking that Chistine Blasey Ford is an obvious liar. I don’t believe that most of the people describing her as “credible” actually believe it. Not for a second. I think they have bought into the idiotic belief that we must not be seen as questioning this woman’s sincerity or honesty. They think that the politically-wise course of action is to say that she is telling the truth that something happened to her, but that it was not Brett Kavanaugh who did it. This is so stupid that it infuriates me that I have to point it out!
If we are going to say that she is “credible” and “believable” then how the hell, in the next breath, are we seriously going to claim that we don’t believe her insistence that Kavanaugh did it? Yes, I know, there are cases of mistaken identity. But come on, is that really a strong argument? No. Not only No, but Hell No! Think about the person who is only paying partial attention to all this. They turn on the TV and hear some conservative politician or Republican “strategist” telling them how “credible” and “believable” her story was. What is that person to think? Do you really think they will then be persuaded to believe that Brett Kavanuah is innocent even though you just told them how credible his accuser is?
Let me tell you exactly what I think, since I am one of the few on our side who actually appears to be doing so. I think Christine Blasey Ford is a liar. I think she knowingly and intentionally made false allegations of attempted rape against an innocent man. I believe this 100%. And because I do, I think that she is a despicable human being. What are her motivations? I am not certain. Why? Because we don’t know a damn thing about this woman. Nothing. Think about that for a moment. We know virtually everything about Brett Kavanaugh and NOTHING about his accuser. And to this day we still know nothing about Christine Blasey Ford despite the fact that we had an experienced sex crimes prosecutor asking her questions under oath on national television. Perhaps if she treated her like the middle-aged adult woman that Blasey Ford is, and not a terrified second-grader, then she might actually have asked some tough questions!
I have had enough of this circus. I am convinced than an innocent man is being smeared by false accusations of attempted rape. I believe almost everyone on our side thinks the same. So please, for the love of God and justice, have the courage to say so!
Incredible, not credible
“credible” or “believable” or “sincere” or “heartfelt” or “genuine”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Her testimony could be sincere and heartfelt without being credible, believable or genuine.
PC run amok. I’m sick and tired of it. Time for men to stand up for being men.
“credible” = “afraid to p*ss off #metoo into shrieks of hysterics and/or blm into burning all my sh*t down”.
Truth does not have a gender
"She was as Credible as any other Perjurer."
People are afraid of being portrayed as heartless or insensitive, by the liberals and media. So we have to play these games so as not to be negatively portrayed.
I know how crazy that sounds, but that’s part of what is going on here. The liberals have set this up as symbolic of how we treat sexual assault charges.
the first 20 seconds when I first heard her 10 year-old, wounded-child voice which always ended with an upward inflection I thought: WTF is going on here?
It was downright creepy
It was either very poor acting - or if not an act, its a sign of a truly deranged mind.
Geez, even Trump keeps saying she’s credible. Just moments ago at the presser he said she spoke well. No, Trump, Ford did not speak well. Ok, her pretty posing 3 year old girl personality did but the 51 year old grown up educated adult Dr. Ford personality didn’t even bother showing up.
I seriously suspect she has multiple personalities. A third personality showed up for the polygraph. A boy with bad handwriting who didn’t sign the statement with her correct first name and misspelled the last name. I’d bet the polygraph guy saw this mental problem and it is why he asked on 2 bland questions.
agree, she was not credible. She was however “demented”.
If Trump has taught us anything the past two years, its that these MSM sponsored narratives all rest on quiet acceptance of clearly fraudulent arguments. Calling "bullshit" will elicit squeals of protest at first, but it also immediately reveals the truth, gives courage to many people to disagree, and re-sets the rules of the game.
Bingo!
“Republicans learn nothing. Ever. They make the same mistakes over and over and over and over… without end.”.........This statement is only partially true. It seems to apply mostly to ELECTED Republicans;not the average republican voter. Maybe there’s a good reason for this. The elected official is supposed to be the public servant,so that means the elector is the boss & should be the most knowledgeable. This seems to be the case,except for where the elected official feels his loyalties lie.
[[So we have to play these games so as not to be negatively portrayed.]]
Exactly- even when we know damn well someone is lying- we have to walk on eggshells- and the liberals know this and exploit it to the max- daring anyone to call them out for her lies- it’s a game of chicken, or blink- and the left almost always win because the right are too afraid of appearing bad whereas the left relish making outrageous statements and getting caught and ignoring the fact that they got caught-
Many on The left have absolutely zero sense of shame- They don’t care one iota how many times they get caught in lies, how many people’s lives they destroy- how many careers they ruin over false accusations- They truly are despicable and evil
No sale. Anyone capable of critical thought was able to see Ford was a flat out lying bad actress.
Stock in politically correct bull s**t is nose diving.
[[So we have to play these games so as not to be negatively portrayed. I thought: WTF is going on here?]]
Precisely- a lot of folks had that same gut feeling- and a body language expert explaiend that it was an act- where she woudkl tuck her chin against her neck in order to get that whimpy, flemmy, gravely “I’m so traumatized’ sound. It was pure manipulation, as as soon as she was doen with her “”I’m so scared’ act, she perked right up- and stuck her chin in the air as if to show how confident she was, and how playful she was being by going into her ‘”I’m so cute” routine-
It was all purely manipulative- and people in general, have a pretty good sense of being manipulated, even if we don’t understand how someone is doing it
[[these MSM sponsored narratives all rest on quiet acceptance of clearly fraudulent arguments.]]
Bingo!
That woman doesn’t have a smidgen of credibility about her or her whole story. But hey, we’re only cattle down here in the real world to be used and lied to by these evil corrupt beings. So don’t anybody that watched this woman’s act believe your lying eyes and ears.
