The Senate hearings to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will continue Thursday morning, but with a headline-grabbing twist: the woman who first accused the jurist of sexual misconduct will publicly testify.
Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychologist from California, accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault at a house party three decades ago, when he was a student at Georgetown Prep.
Days later, a second accuser, Deborah Ramirez, accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a party. And on Wednesday, another accuser, Julie Swetnick submitted a sworn statement accusing Kavanaugh of having been present during her “gang rape” at a party in 1982.
Kavanaugh has denied all of the claims, calling the latest one “from The Twilight Zone.” Both he and Ford will testify on the matter Thursday.
The session will begin at 10 a.m. ET.

If a Black man falsely accused of a crime acted like #BrettKavanaugh, people like @LindseyGraham & @senatemajldr would have NEVER defended his anger. It would have enraged them even more. The racists would have called him a brute savage. But Black ppl have to hide their emotions.

Analysis finds 290 hours of ‘private’ meetings on Chao’s calendar
BY EMILY BIRNBAUM – 10/01/18 09:35 AM EDT
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has spent more than 290 hours in meetings labeled “private” during her first 14 months in the position, according to a new Politico analysis of her calendars.
Documents obtained by Politico through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) indicate Chao has spent a large amount of time in “private” meetings, which have usually taken place on Fridays after lunchtime.
One Department of Transportation (DOT) spokesperson told Politico some of the “private” time was spent traveling, while other blocks involved appointments ranging “from doctor’s appointments to meeting with personal friends to tending to personal needs or regularly sharing meals with her husband.”
Chao is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

On Mark Judge’s 1983 yearbook page Mark asks, “Bart, have you boofed yet?”
https://www.alternet.org/sites/default/files/story_images/screen_shot_2018-09-18_at_1.46.21_pm.png
On Brett Kavanaugh’s 1983 yearbook page, Brett asks, “Judge–Have You Boofed Yet?”
https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/7wqedDgCrie–4qEogKyUxOA7dM=/0x0:1800×1013/1200×800/filters:focal(756×363:1044×651)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/61553865/lead_art_yearbook.0.jpg
This shows that Mark was already referring to Brett as “Bart” in 1983, way before Mark’s book was published.
I looked up the “Maverick” TV show as I had remembered there was a “Brett” Maverick and a “Bart” Maverick. It was then that I discovered that NBC tried to revive the series by creating a show called “Brett Maverick.” It only lasted its first season from 1981 to the spring of 1982 with the final episode introducing “Bart” Maverick.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Maverick
Is it possible that both Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh watched this program and that is where Mark Judge came up with the “Bart” substitute name for Brett?

Ugh…
The usual suspects in the media are already rallying for Kavanaugh …casting him as somehow also ‘sympathetic’, and giving permission to and emboldening the Repugs and the treasonous buffoon who owns them all, to go on and ‘plow him through’, offering no push-back, and guaranteeing him and them that there won’t be consequences, and that they’ll provide them cover…
When push comes to shove, the likes of David Gergen, George Will, Dana Bash, Kate Boulduan, Jonathan Lemire, are all about buoying the Alt-Right/republican agenda…

JUDGE BRETT KAVANAUGH DOES NOT WANT AN FBI INVESTIGATION!
And whatever happened to prosecutor Mitchell.. she’s disappeared, and suddenly the Repugs are willy-nilly usurping and without any regard, exceeding time limits…
Noticed that too. She wasn’t ugly, vicious, and WHITE MAN enough.
The GOP can’t help themselves.
Why does Kavanaugh have so many eerily similar traits like treasonous buffoon jr..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng1OADoCWxg
SHORT: Brett ain’t no NIGGA!
Graham has been invoking and dissing Cosby for 2 days.. while he shamelessly sucks up to the ultimate sex perv treasonous buffoon who promised him an illegitimate cabinet position..
Typical jerk..
Never engaged with his wife during his original 2 hearings… but now that he’s in trouble, he’s suddenly lavishing her with attention..
And can the freaking media stop legitimizing a treasonous buffoon with all this endless use of ‘the president’.. WTF??!!
OH OH! Senator Durbin just asked Breet K. to turn to Don McGin and ask for a suspension of the vote to nomination
Answer the question, Brett. Should Judge testify?
He’s a WHINEY, LYING, TITTY-BABY
If he had nothing to hide, he would be open to an FBI investigation.. Something’s up..
Some day we will find out what they have on Ms. Lindsey.. something is seriously up… It can’t just be auditioning for Beauregard’s job.. or Mattis’…
Brett won’t answer the questions. His DEFAULT is what he did in high school, like sports, and soup kitchens.
WTF does this have to do with sexual assault. Fillarbustering motherphucka!

It REEKS from him.
Clearly needs a drink, ya think?
Peep Dr Ford’s bearded pro bono attorney in the back of the room… peeping his head out every so often and clearly stunned at this JV performance by this fool everyone touted as SC material.. Even Ms Mitchell is clearly disgusted and disappointed in his performance…you can hear it in her voice..
ALL.OF.THIS
We called it fam..
Immature, entitled, arrested development on steroids..
YEP, and blaming Democrats for smearing his reputation.
Takes no responsibility for his own transgressions.
Here, something for you Mrs Kavanagh
What say you Susan Collins & Lisa M., hmm?
He’s only angry that the assured and his ultimate dream of sitting on the highest court of the land is unraveling..
He even invokes his minor daughters to serve and advance his selfish ambitions..
And his arrogance and heightened sense of entitlement… his rambling boast and uncontrollable lashing out is something to behold…
He’s still dangling his faux-future SC clerkship as carrots to female clerks who he’s hoping will keep covering for him…
Narcissist …
A man of honor…a good family man, would have withdrawn since to protect his wife and kids..
But not this selfish, entitled arrogant jerk..
WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!
He’s only angry that the assured and his ultimate dream of sitting on the highest court of the land is unraveling.
OOP! THERE IT IS
Christine Blasey Ford Is a Class Traitor
By Irin Carmon
Christine Blasey Ford cannot be dismissed as a pretender to privilege, which I suspect is what scares Republicans so much. But for her decision to come out about Brett Kavanaugh and to remake herself as a California surfing mom, she is the archetypal Republican voter: A wealthy, white suburban woman, married, with children. Her parents are Republicans. Her father plays golf with Brett Kavanaugh’s dad at Burning Tree. Her parents have been noticeably silent — stonily so, with no letter of support, only the most begrudging words. It chilled me to read what her father, Ralph Blasey, wrung from himself to offer the Washington Post, in the conditional tense: “I think all of the Blasey family would support her. I think her record stands for itself. Her schooling, her jobs, and so on.” Then he hung up. A second call yielded this hypothetical: “I think any father would have love for his daughter.”
Women like Ford are the ones who have mostly raced to protect Brett Kavanaugh — not to mention Donald Trump — because admitting that there was something rotten in their culture would implicate them, too. What makes Ford different, it seems, is that she is ready to tell the truth that even the white woman on the pedestal is ultimately doomed to subordination, and if she gets in the way of the plan or breaks the code — well, she’s on her own.
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/09/christine-blasey-ford-is-a-class-traitor.html
Let’s see, Kamala Harris, Mazie Hiriono, and Amy Klobachar yet to come!
And they all need to ask Baby Brett what he meant by ‘what goes around, comes around.”
Sounds like a THREAT to me.Does he know something we don’t know? He truly believes he’s going to sit on the SCOTUS bench.
ROE vs Wade?
HA HA HA HA CRY BABY. 45’s got to love watching Baby Brett crying on live TV.
And Wifey is sitting there looking pitiful & sorry, vulnearble just as she was instructed to do
ALSO TOO.
Here, something for you Mrs Kavanagh
Like YELLING is going to make you appear INNOCENT, Brett.
NOPE
He’s feigning righteous indignation, but he’s coming across like a real a$$hole.
Self-entitled, self-indulgent, A$$HOLE.
No doubt, he was coached to come across as the indignant one, full of bluster. He’s lost control of himself and his narrative. Not once has he mentioned anything about his religious upbringing, anything to balance out the EGO-maniacal self righteousness.
HA HA HA HA Brett is pissed off royally. GOOD!!!!!
We don’t want to listen to a LIAR.
He’s screaming at the top of his lungs, begging for his life-time appointment to SCOTUS
Brett’s wifey looks SHOOK
She seems like she’s some variation of narcissist herself… something doesn’t add up with her either..
She also worked in the Bush43 White House.. that’s all you need to know about her..

#RachelMitchell go far far away and SHUT. UP. #KavanaughHearings
A few days ago I just told my brother and my oldest boy about what happened to me during high school. It was during exams. I had only one test to take and had to stay at the school and wait the rest of the day for the bus. After test was over, I was sitting outside on a bench, waiting until bus time and this boy came over and sit down beside me and then he put his hand on my leg and then tried to put his hand even further up my dress. I had to fight and was yelling for him to stop. He finally did stop and left. I was shaken. School officials were inside. I didn’t tell them anything. I was so humiliated, embarrassed and scared they’d blame me. I never told them or my mother. When I got home I went to bed, didn’t eat. I tried to wish it away. He had a girlfriend too. She was a twin. And she was so in love with that filthy scum. Years after high school I heard someone killed him. If I am not mistaken I believe the person told me he was stabbed to death.
SG2, I’m so sorry you had to experience being fondled by a low-l
it appears this filthy scum got his JUST DESSERTS
It’s so sad, the things that have happened to us, and we were afraid to speak for fear of being blamed and even blamed ourselves.
I’m glad things are changing. It’s been a long time coming.
Sorry, SG.. I know what you feel..
When I was about 9 or 10, during one long summer holiday, my friend, the daughter of family friends who lived down the road from us, broke her arm and had to have it in a cast.
She was about a year or two older than I was, and she had an older brother who was about 15..
My mum let me go visit with her one afternoon …and we hung out in her reading comic books, playing board games and eating candy – for some reason even though she had serious dental issues, her mum still over-indulged her sweet tooth – and she had a stash..
At some point as I was thumbing through a book, she up and disappeared …After a little while, I was a bit uneasy being all alone, and so decided to go find her – or go where she was …
I come from a family where even as kids, we didn’t do sleepovers – my mum never allowed it, and we didn’t eat or entertain in our bedrooms .. we played and entertained friends in our dedicated playroom which was just off the living room, and had our toys, bookshelves filled with books we’d already read, baskets full of comics we swapped with friends, and a couple of mini tables and chairs set up for snacks and tea parties..
I was not comfortable left alone, so I sat at the foot of her bed, and started buckling my shoes..
Next thing I know, her older brother walks into the room… didn’t say a word, just sat down by me…I was still trying to buckle the one shoe..
He grabbed my face, turned it to him, and started to kiss me.. I almost gagged… I used all my strength to push him away and I ran out of the room with just one shoe on..
I found my friend in the living room with a bag of toffee candy munching away..
My heart was beating so hard you could hear it from a mile… I was shocked, confused and terrified …if she noticed, she pretended not to and didn’t say a word…I told her I needed her to come back with me to her room to get my other shoe because I had to go home.. she asked why I was leaving… I told her my mum needed me home at a certain time…
Her brother came out their living room acting like nothing happened… I dashed into the room, grabbed my other shoe, and ran all the way home…
I never went to their home again… never told my parents what happened… to this day…
I only told my sister when we were in college… and we talked about it again last week when this Dr. Ford incident came up.. she’s still shocked..
To this day, only my sister knows …and not even my all-seeing, all-knowing mum knows still..
And I can still smell his awful scent …still vividly see her room, even remember her arm in the cast …and can describe her sleeveless cotton summer dress…and the type of candy..
I don’t remember what their living room looked like – or which direction or what part of the house relative to her bedroom, it was… I don’t remember what her brother was wearing, even though I can still smell him… and I can still see his face..
I had a second cousin who used to feel up all the girl nieces and cousins whenever the opportunity arose. He was a full grown man (married, no children) and the girls were high school age except for me, I was in grammar school. It only happened to me one time and I didn’t tell anybody.
However….
One summer night when I was about 11 years old I was staying with my favorite aunt, the mother-in-law of the guy I’m talking about. Some of the other relatives were there including one of my cousins, a young girl who was about 14 at the time.
I have absolutely no memory of what triggered this, but the adult relatives got into a huge fight. It was like they exploded with pent up anger and they were arguing with each other over every grievance imaginable. I had never seen anything like it and I was kind of cowering until my cousin, the young girl, accused my other cousin (the married guy) of sexually molesting her. Then all hell broke loose.
I should mention that he was not there that night but his wife was there. And I have no memory of how this ended that night. I’m sure it was bad.
My two older sisters were in high school and the next day they both had to talk to my cousin’s wife who wanted to know if her husband had ever touched them in a sexual manner. They both denied that this ever happened.
A couple of weeks later my aunt had a massive stroke. She never recovered.
Decades later, maybe just about ten years ago, one of my sisters told me that the allegations were true. She had been afraid to say anything.
Sad, sad stories. I truly believe we all have them.
I know the feeling.
Here they are… the entitled jerks..

Judicial Opinions of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh
Use of polygraphs for employment
https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-dc-circuit/1735693.html
More opinions, ALSO TOO
https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R45269.pdf
While pursuing her Ph.D. in Politics at the University of Virginia, Kathryn Sack submitted FOIA requests to the Department of Defense.1 Sack sought Department reports about its use of polygraph examinations, as well as related documents about those examinations. Sack told the Department that she intended to use the requested information for her dissertation on polygraph bias.
Sack asked the Department to categorize her as an educational-institution requester. Under FOIA, government agencies may charge fees for processing FOIA requests. But FOIA limits the fees that an agency may charge for processing FOIA requests made by an educational institution.
For one batch of Sack’s requests, the Department of Defense refused to categorize Sack as an educational-institution requester and required her to pay about $900 to conduct the search. For another batch of Sack’s requests, the Department conducted a search and reviewed responsive documents, but the Department informed Sack that the documents were exempt from disclosure under FOIA Exemption (7)(E).
Sack filed a lawsuit challenging the Department’s handling of those two batches of requests. As to the first, Sack asked to be categorized as an educational-institution requester so that she would have to pay only the reduced fees. As to the other, Sack challenged the Department’s withholding of the requested polygraph reports. The District Court granted summary judgment to the Department of Defense. The Court concluded that Sack was not an educational-institution requester entitled to reduced fees. And the Court ruled that the polygraph reports were exempt under FOIA Exemption 7(E).
Nothing says, “YOUR GOOSE IS COOKED, MUTHAPHUCKAS” like a vulnerable, educated, WHITE WOMAN on national TV POURING HER HEART & SOUL OUT, about being SEXUALLY ABUSED!
