More Victims? Hurry Up!

Pervert Kavanookie became even more Trump-like yesterday, in that he has another victim and probably two more claiming #METOO.  At Yale, he stuck his penis in the face of fellow law student Deborah Ramirez.  She had to touch it to shove it away, a big deal for a young Catholic virgin.  Both Senate Democrats and Republicans learned about it last week.  The Democrats waited, out of respect for the victim, until she was sure.  The Republicans went into high gear to try to intimidate Christine and get their Pervert confirmed before additional victims could muddy the waters.

[A]s Senate Republicans press for a swift vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Senate Democrats are investigating a new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh. The claim dates to the 1983-84 academic school year, when Kavanaugh was a freshman at Yale University. The offices of at least four Democratic senators have received information about the allegation, and at least two have begun investigating it. Senior Republican staffers also learned of the allegation last week and, in conversations with The New Yorker, expressed concern about its potential impact on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Soon after, Senate Republicans issued renewed calls to accelerate the timing of a committee vote. The Democratic Senate offices reviewing the allegations believe that they merit further investigation. “This is another serious, credible, and disturbing allegation against Brett Kavanaugh. It should be fully investigated,” Senator Mazie Hirono, of Hawaii, said. An aide in one of the other Senate offices added, “These allegations seem credible, and we’re taking them very seriously. If established, they’re clearly disqualifying.”

The woman at the center of the story, Deborah Ramirez, who is fifty-three, attended Yale with Kavanaugh, where she studied sociology and psychology. Later, she spent years working for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. The New Yorker contacted Ramirez after learning of her possible involvement in an incident involving Kavanaugh. The allegation was conveyed to Democratic senators by a civil-rights lawyer. For Ramirez, the sudden attention has been unwelcome, and prompted difficult choices. She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty. 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.

In a statement, Kavanaugh wrote, “This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen…

Furthermore, it’d quite apparent that Mark Judge’s denials in support of his partner in abuse were lies.

0924JudgeFord’s allegation has made Judge a potentially pivotal witness for Kavanaugh. Judge told The New Yorker that he had “no recollection” of such an incident. Judge, who is a conservative writer, later gave an interview to The Weekly Standard in which he called Ford’s allegation “just absolutely nuts,” adding, “I never saw Brett act that way.” Asked by the interviewer whether he could remember any “sort of rough-housing with a female student back in high school” that might have been “interpreted differently by parties involved,” Judge told the publication, “I can’t. I can recall a lot of rough-housing with guys.” He added, “I don’t remember any of that stuff going on with girls.”

After seeing Judge’s denial, Elizabeth Rasor, who met Judge at Catholic University and was in a relationship with him for about three years, said that she felt morally obligated to challenge his account that “ ‘no horseplay’ took place at Georgetown Prep with women.” Rasor stressed that “under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t reveal information that was told in confidence,” but, she said, “I can’t stand by and watch him lie.” In an interview with The New Yorker, she said, “Mark told me a very different story.” Rasor recalled that Judge had told her ashamedly of an incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman. Rasor said that Judge seemed to regard it as fully consensual. She said that Judge did not name others involved in the incident, and she has no knowledge that Kavanaugh participated. But Rasor was disturbed by the story and noted that it undercut Judge’s protestations about the sexual innocence of Georgetown Prep. (Barbara Van Gelder, an attorney for Judge, said that he “categorically denies” the account related by Rasor. Van Gelder said that Judge had no further comment.)… [emphasis added]

And if that wasn’t enough…

To add to the mix, Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avanatti tweeted Sunday night "I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge." That woman, he said in a follow-up tweet "is not Deborah Ramirez." He says he and his client will "be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify. The nomination must be withdrawn."… [emphasis added]

With all this on the horizon, is anyone surprised that the Republican Reich it trying to get their Pervert confirmed before the evidence against him becomes too widespread?  I’m not, and the lack of surprise is the most disgusting part of this story.

RESIST!!

VOTE BLUE!!

  1. This is all happening so fast that it’s disorienting, but, as far as I can tell, you are absolutely up to date. There has been mention of a fourth accuser, but no details to evaluate whether there is or isn’t or whether it’s a confusion with one of the first three. Dizzying.

  2. I am proud that these women are coming forward with their stories, and I hope and pray that they stand strong in relating what happened to them. I also pray for their safety in doing so.

    The behavior of the gop is galling, and sickening. Look what they did for Merrick Garland!! Listen to this from pos BM McConnell “Senate Majority Leader McConnell who Vows to Hold “Up or Down” Vote on Judge Kavanaugh “In the Near Future”.

    • What a pile of bullshit from McTurtle!!!

    • Bought Bitch Mitch McConnell is, without a doubt, the worst “Senator” in American history.  McConnell should be considered as a “traitor”.

      • So many Republicans in both houses of Congress are acting blackmailed, I think McConnell (and Ryan) are merely the tip of the iceberg.  By”acting blackmailed,” I mean quickly backpedaling any statement that’s remotely sane (or even anything short of totally insane), and looking scared or nervous when they do so.

  3. More women against Kavanaugh… Awesome!

  4. I wonder what kind of stories Kavanaugh’s wife has to tell.

  5. The GOPIGS are doing the dance they always do:lie, lie, lie…manipulate, and then lie,lie, lie some more!  Expecting anything else is one definition of being really silly, to put it nicely!

  6. The more dirt we can dig up on Kava-nut, the better!

  7. Just think … if another 10 to 20 women step forward with similar complaints Kavanaugh could actually be a GOP contender for president!

  8. It’s good to see that so many women can pluck up the courage and speak out against Kavanaugh harassing them (at the least). At the same time those who have to “vet” these accusations against Kavanaugh, have to be extremely careful indeed. If they believe one stooge it’ll be one too many and the testimony of all other victims will become unreliable by default. Cooper was ‘fooled’ by a number of Republican operands only a few short days ago, so we know what Republicans are capable of. Remain calm and don’t lose your heads, Democrats.

  9. There can be strength in numbers.  Each of the women who has come forward is displaying a great deal of courage.  Look what Ford and her family are enduring . . . death threats, harassment, hacking.  Republicans have no shame.  Diaper Don has accused Democrats of making the Ford situation political.  But it is Diaper Don and Republicans that have made it a political spectacle.  Diaper Don should use his enhanced vetting of refugees etc for his political appointees.  Maybe some of the chaos could have been avoided

    As Sir Walter Scott said: “Oh!  What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” — Ain’t that the truth!

  10. Thanks and way pooped hugs.  I have MUCH more to say in today’s lead article. 05
