anatess2 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I love how this old Mormon learned to troll-post with the best of the Gen-Z’s. And speaking of Gen-Z’s, seems like 4chan struck again - Avenatti just hid his Twitter... 4chan anons claim they punk’d him with a story about Kavanaugh and Judge running a sex train. Avenatti vehemently denies it - big mistake. That’s 4chan for you - very good at 4D chess. Doesn’t matter if their claim was true or fake, they got Avenatti. Avenatti accusing 4chan of false allegations give 4chan a narrative on making Avenatti in the same boat as Kavanaugh. But that’s just the pawn move. The kicker is that now, Avenatti will have to prove these women exist otherwise 4chan’s punk’d claim remains credible. Avenatti has not learned from Shia - when 4chan calls your card, the only viable response is... nothing.

Behold The Point. I bet @LiterateParakeet would not be nearly so keen on a group called Mormon Men for Universal Handgun Ownership or Mormons for Welfare Handouts Reform as she is on the group with which she proudly proclaims membership. She might even consider it an abuse of the term "Mormon" and resent that this group would use a religious label to push an agenda that she disagrees with and perhaps even finds harmful. But none of that counts if you "skew Left". In that case, all bets are off, and you had better use kid gloves when handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says he was involved in “rape trains” of other girls, and that she herself was the victim of one of them at a party where Kavanaugh and Judge were present. Ugly stuff. Though it does beg the question of why she kept going to such parties—and ultimately was herself victimized at one of them—when she knew all along that Kavanaugh and his cronies were routinely spiking the punch and taking full advantage of the incapacitated imbibers.

Another convenient story - give enough detail to smear character but not enough to actually get hit by a defamation counter... "but I did't say Kavanaugh raped women!". Interestingly, sex trains (like peeing beds) is a 4chan meme. Coincidence? Perhaps. Edited September 26, 2018 by anatess2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anatess2 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 September 24, 2018 The Honorable Charles Grassley Chairman Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate 135 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Dianne Feinstein Ranking Member Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein: When I testified in front of the Senate three weeks ago, I explained my belief that fair process is foundational to justice and to our democracy. At that time, I sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee for more than 31 hours and answered questions under oath. I then answered more questions at a confidential session. The following week, I responded to more than 1,200 written questions, more than have been submitted to all previous Supreme Court nominees combined. Only after that exhaustive process was complete did I learn, through the news media, about a 36year-old allegation from high school that had been asserted months earlier and withheld from me throughout the hearing process. First it was an anonymous allegation that I categorically and unequivocally denied. Soon after the accuser was identified, I repeated my denial on the record and made clear that I wished to appear before the Committee. I then repeated my denial to Committee investigators—under criminal penalties for false statements. All of the witnesses identified by Dr. Ford as being present at the party she describes are on the record to the Committee saying they have no recollection of any such party happening. I asked to testify before the Committee again under oath as soon as possible, so that both Dr. Ford and I could both be heard. I thank Chairman Grassley for scheduling that hearing for Thursday. Last night, another false and uncorroborated accusation from 35 years ago was published. Once again, those alleged to have been witnesses to the event deny it ever happened. There is now a frenzy to come up with something—anything—that will block this process and a vote on my confirmation from occurring. These are smears, pure and simple. And they debase our public discourse. But they are also a threat to any man or woman who wishes to serve our country. Such grotesque and obvious character assassination—if allowed to succeed—will dissuade competent and good people of all political persuasions from service. As I told the Committee during my hearing, a federal judge must be independent, not swayed by public or political pressure. That is the kind of judge I will always be. I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process. The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last minute character assassination will not succeed. I have devoted my career to serving the public and the cause of justice, and particularly to promoting the equality and dignity of women. Women from every phase of my life have come forward to attest to my character. I am grateful to them. I owe it to them, and to my family, to defend my integrity and my name. I look forward to answering questions from the Senate on Thursday. Sincerely, Brett M. Kavanaugh BeccaKirstyn and The Folk Prophet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that Ford was given 8 opportunities to be heard by the committee right? And that she declined every single one of them? How do you investigate a claim in a location that is not known, at a time that is not known, with people present who the accuser can't recall except for 4 people who deny it happening under oath and another 4 people claiming they know because the accuser told them and the accuser refusing to testify under oath and relying instead on a letter that the committee can only see a redacted copy of? You really think this should cause the majority to delay a SCOTUS appointment past mid-term elections?

IF he did it, there are people far more qualified for that position. For me the mid-term elections don't factor into this at all.

Accusers 1 and 2 don’t bother me much—I’m willing to hear what they have to say, but at this point I don’t think their stories need much more investigation unless they bring up something novel in their sworn testimonies. Accuser 3, though . . . Sworn statement, from someone with former “secret” security clearance? Sounds much more impressive, on the face of it . . . We’ll see.

Her lawyers accepted that NINTH offer after Grassley said "you have until 2:30PM to accept the invitation to testify on Thursday". They accepted at 2:35PM. Diane Feinstein then released a statement last Monday that - "because of the new allegations that came up over the weekend, the Thursday hearing should be postponed". Grassley, of course, ignored it. The 8th offer was rejected by Ford because she said she is scared of flying and will have to take the time to drive from California to DC. She also demanded that she will not talk to anybody else besides committee members, and would not accept questions from lawyers and that Kavanaugh has to be interviewed first. Grassley offered to fly the committee to California in the 9th offer if necessary. So, you think she'll show up tomorrow? We'll see. They're trying to set up the scene where they can portray the hearing as all these old white men bullying a poor sexually assaulted woman.
