Lo and behold, just as Christine Blasey Ford was set to testify against President Trump’s Supreme Court justice nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, another “victim” has been dredged out of the ether, and is claiming Kavanaugh harassed her in college.
Gee, it’s almost like Democrats have a plethora of alleged victims just waiting in the wings, ready to strike when the time is right.

Ford’s story of being harassed by Kavanaugh in high school is already standing on flimsy grounds. She’s done everything in her power to delay the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation into her claims. And, despite repeated attempts to get her to testify, she’s been recalcitrant, making up excuse after excuse about why she can’t come to Washington to tell her story. (RELATED: Christine Blasey Ford Indicates She Doesn’t Want to Fly to Testify.)
Bad as Ford’s story is, the new accuser shouldn’t merit half the attention she’s being given by the national media. Last night in the digital pages of The New Yorker, Deborah Ramirez made her allegations known to Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer. Ramirez alleges that while both her and Kavanaugh were students at Yale, they had a dormitory party where Kavanaugh essentially exposed himself to her.
From The New Yorker report (warning: explicit language is involved):
After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaugh’s role in the incident. “I would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted,” she said.

There are plenty of holes in this story. First of all, in the story itself, it’s stated that “there are significant gaps in her memories of the evening.” Also, when she was first contacted by The New Yorker, “she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty.”
It took Ramirez six days of ruminating on the incident to determine that it was Kavanaugh who exposed himself to her, despite claiming she wasn’t sure prior to. Funny how far a little coaxing from the media goes.
And of course, Farrow and Mayer admit they have “not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party.”
Even more damning is that people who were reportedly present at the party denied any wrongdoing on Kavanaugh’s part. Again, from The New Yorker report:
In a statement, two of those male classmates who Ramirez alleged were involved in the incident, the wife of a third male student she said was involved, and three other classmates, Dino Ewing, Louisa Garry, and Dan Murphy, disputed Ramirez’s account of events: “We were the people closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first year at Yale. He was a roommate to some of us, and we spent a great deal of time with him, including in the dorm where this incident allegedly took place. Some of us were also friends with Debbie Ramirez during and after her time at Yale. We can say with confidence that if the incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have seen or heard about it—and we did not. The behavior she describes would be completely out of character for Brett. In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale, and she never described this incident until Brett’s Supreme Court nomination was pending. Editors from the New Yorker contacted some of us because we are the people who would know the truth, and we told them that we never saw or heard about this.”
A separate report also confirms that Ramirez wasn’t sure that Kavanaugh was the perpetrator and admitted as much to her former classmates when she contacted them. From a separate New York Times report:
The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.

This whole thing stinks. Farrow and Mayer, normally intrepid journalists, were wrong to publish this story with such flimsy evidence. Ramirez’s accounts cannot be corroborated. Just like Ford’s, her memory is hazy and no eyewitnesses named will confirm it.

That means her charges are based on her word only, which doesn’t constitute a case against Kavanaugh.
This isn’t journalism. It’s a hit job from partisan flacks.

Kavanaugh Accuser Deborah Ramirez Has Major Holes in Her Story
The Democrats are truly desperate and should be. Kavanaugh on the bench means a virtual end of legislation by the courts. and puts it back in Congress where it belongs. It’s the end of liberalism as we know it and that’s a good thing.

Well, now we know why Ford and her attorney wanted more time. 1. To get their own story down pat and fill in the gaps. 2. to find someone else who can be paid to “tell a story”. If they had agreed to have the hearing when it was first scheduled, there would be nobody coming out of the woodwork to back up her story or come forth with a similar one! I smelled this one coming when she first started her delaying tactics. Guess Ford’s supporters/backers offered someone enough money to come forth and tell another bogus story.
More dirty Democrat tricks and the reporter coached the woman and talked her into making the accusation even after the woman said she was drunk.

Ramirez says: “My psychiatrist told me I’m going crazy”.
So she challenged him/her, “If you don’t mind, I’d like a second opinion.”
Shrink says . . . “OK…You’re ugly too!”

I guess the Lefties think all Conservatives are stupid. How anyone with half a brain could believe these women….oh wait! That describes most Lefties!
This person, who supposedly has a doctorate in something (which explains her indoctrination) can boldly lie about a good man like Kavanaugh angers me!
Did she think her past performances in her Leftists ideals wouldn’t be found out?? (Her pink pu$$y hat escapade, to name one)?
Grow up ladies and remember….wether you believe in GOD or not, you will stand before Him one day! I would not want to be either one of you!

It’s high time people start “remembering” similar stories about Dumbocrats. How about the threesome Nancy Pelosi participated in in grade school? Or some other coca many nonsense. This is the most disgusting behavior I have seen in Washington. One can only hope it backfires on them in November and the RED wave wipes them out for good. God help us if the stupid left is successful in high jacking the country. They are just itching for a civil war, and I say, give it to them! Shut down every liberal media and organization with whatever it takes. It’s time to make sure Washington gets the message!
Errat typo ” . . . NOT against Kavanaugh, but . . . ”
No ability to instant edit, too slow to scroll, too many ‘flippin’ ads, captcha popups, refresh to comments block . . . etc.s . . . and stalls in texting make this the most tedious of blogs. And I have complained to PI too often in the past.

This whole series of events has bee a long time in coming. From the get-go, the (D) libs have needed exposure from, at first, a telescopic view, up close and personal to the microscope of true forensics. This should culminate in findings, now against Kavanaugh, but in prosecution for, at the outside, conspiracy, to inside the beltway for criminal undertakings within the scope of personal defamation to national security violations.
And that will include members of congress as well as their shills inside “the swamp” . . . and the ‘outside’ (not so) private citizens. Kavanaugh is tougher than all and will prevail . . . thank God.
Semper Fi . . . !
Here is a sure case of history repeating itself. Satan used a woman to take down a man in the garden of eden and now it’s occurring again! They tried it with Clarence Thomas, they tried it with Trump, they did it with Judge Roy Moore (he suckered for their ploy), and they’re trying again with Kavanaugh. Satan is working overtime!
Most of the corruption and hatred coming from government is coming from women in political office – Feinstein, boxer, piglosi, hil-LIAR-y, warren, mad maxine, Lerner, etc. Some of the leftist men may speak out, but it is the women who initiate and push it.
Three women on the SCOTUS and all three are leftist and Anti-Constitution, Anti-American, and Anti-God!
The left cannot let Pres. Trump confirm another justice to the SCOTUS, especially with ginsburg on the verge of passing out permanently!

How long of a line of women do the liberal have.
I wonder how many women do the liberals have in this line to slander the Judge.

Wonder how much Soros is paying her to suddenly come forward and blame Kavanaugh out of the blue when she doesn’t even know herself if it was him. So she just picks him out of the blue because his Trumps pick for Supreme Court Justice!! These Democrats all across this Nation are shameless!! What has happened to their honor? Every since Obama they have none! They follow Satan!!
They will come after any woman that threatens their agenda. Remember Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Wiley, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky , etc. They called them bimbos , and the attack squad to destroy the women was led by Hillary Clinton. Once one is categorized as “not anointed” , the attack squad will go into max destruction. But I agree, they lose one weapon if it is a woman.

If Kavanaugh is not confirmed, Pres. Trump needs to appoint a WOMAN next time. THEN let’s see the conniving Dems pull this RENT-A-SKANK trick on THAT candidate!
The DESPERATE Dems have no OTHER tricks in their “torpedo ALL Conservative candidates ALL the time” bag other than the RENT-A-SKANK trick. The more RENT-A-SKANKS that appear at the 11th hour to bolster their BS story, the less believable it becomes!

I’m not sure how it can get any worse. Ford had a chance of being believed, Ramirez has none with this BS story. Additionally, I believe this makes Ford less believable simply because this second liar came out.
If one fails,try another.Anything to postpone the vote.OK McConnell,time to step up and end this.Flush all this democratic crap down the toilet and hold the vote with or without the democrats.Majority wins!

All the accusers should have a lawsuit for slander brought against them. That usually makes people tell the truth when you hit them in the pocketbook. Such a shame to do this to this man and his family. All of you who condone this should be wary because what goes around usually comes back to haunt you. Karma is a b—-!!!!
Democrats specialize in ridiculous. They have their people so “dumbed down” they think ridiculous is normal.

THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO PREVENT TRUMP FROM DRAINING THE SWAMP!
These Democrat dirty tricks need to be ignored. Vote tomorrow and confirm the judge.

President Trump should agree to a FBI probe: his statement should read: I agree to an FBI probe. Inasmuch as Judge Kavanaugh has had 6 FBI background checks and Dr Ford has none. “I will direct the FBI to do a background check on Dr Ford and the other people who have made allegations.” Watch the lefts heads explode.

Lesseee… Hillary splatters email from her private servers all over the gov’t and the world and gets caught, whilst each receiver including O’Bamma claimed to know nothing about any of it until finally the FBI lays out every item needed for the definition of a strong case against her, but says she didn’t do it “on purpose”, instead saying it was Trumps fault, since even though it cost Bernie, it allowed Trump to win because of ‘Russia russia russia”. Then decreed her “innocent even if proven guilty”. If she had won POTUS it would all have been buried along with a lot of other bodies in her wake. Innocent even if proven guilty.
But Kavanaugh? Oh, being a conservative, he should be “guilty until proven innocent”,. Together with their unending scheming against the american citizens rights to defend himself (1st and 2nd amendments)… we are in serious trouble. ARTICLE V of the USC, NOW!!!

DrBridge, as long as the GUTLESS RINOS are too COWARDLY to stand up to the conniving Dems and their RENT-A-SKANKS, I can guarantee you that Kavanaugh will NEVER be confirmed. They’ll just delay and obstruct until HELL FREEZES OVER and all possibility of confirming him has been destroyed. And, incidentally, ensure that the Supreme Court session goes forward with 8 SC Justices, ensuring a DEADLOCK where NONE of the BS rulings the Dems have gotten their Obama-appointed Circuit Judges to issue to obstruct EVERYTHING Pres Trump tries to do will NOT be struck down for the unconstitutional BS they are. The Dems pulled every trick in the book to PACK the lower Federal courts with Leftist LOON Obama apointees, and they are USING those Leftist LOON judges now to STEAL BACK the power we rightfully took from them with our votes in 2016. Our country is done if SOMEBODY in Congress does not grow a SPINE and put a stop to this never-ended stream of BS issuing from the CONNIVING COMMUCRATS.

By now it should be obvious to everyone that this calculated and clearly manufactured assault on Brett Kavanaugh will never end until it has achieved its objective – the derailment of his nomination to the SCOTUS. This is now, as Shakespeare put it in Macbeth, “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. Unfortunately, it will probably end with the Democrats getting what they want, and if they do, it will be a major disaster for the rule of law and the future of the American experiment in republican government.
So, 35 years ago, somebody stuck a penis in your face. But you aren’t sure or even if it really happened. But it probably did, and it was likely Kavanaugh. And nobody else remembers it nor can corroborate it ever happening? Is that it? Okey dokey then. You have a nice day, Ma’am.

Masdar, what the DESPERATE, conniving Dems are aiming for NOW is obviously to get Kavanaugh to withdraw his acceptance of the SC position because he is sick of being SLIMED day after day as the Dems produce a new RENT-A-SKANK every DAY with LURID accusations about what he allegedly did 30+ years ago.

There is little doubt that there are dalliances in the upper crust but to bring up issues after thirty years is stretching credulity . This is clearly a political move based on dubious allegations and sensationalized by the media in an attempt to crush the nomination for the judge of the supreme. I would venture to a say that there is not one ordinary person in this world that can claim sainthood.

The interesting part is the “hazy” memories of everything else, which of course makes it difficult if not impossible to even verify. Very carefully calculated and coordinated by the Democrats in an attempt to pull off another “BORK” job is what this smells like. Time to just CONFIRM this judge, of course there will be outrage but there is going to be anyway.
