I hope people will become as enraged at the media as they STA says they are towards the Democrats.

This from the Onio.....I mean the New Yorker:
https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-colu ... lasey-ford
Title: The Senate Republicans’ Less-Than-Human Treatment of Christine Blasey Ford

Less than human. :naughty: Because they didn't buy into her pretty pose act. Because they are supposed to believe her when no one else can corroborate her story. When she can't identify a time or place. when etc. etc... FU once.
I made the mistake of thinking that this thing was done—that nobody who watched Ford’s testimony would be able to dismiss it, and that it would halt the ascension to the Supreme Court of the man Ford said she was a-hundred-per-cent certain sexually assaulted her in high school.
Because her 100% certain means everything and his repeated unequivocal denials mean nothing. FU twice.
The error was a categorical one. I was thinking in human terms, rather than political terms. I was stuck on the details, such as how Ford looked into the eyes of Mark Judge, thinking that he might rescue her, and how, decades later, stricken by the fear of getting trapped again, she insisted on the construction of a second front door during a renovation of her home. (“Our house does not look aesthetically pleasing from the curb,” she allowed.)
Stuck on the details. Hmmm, you ignored the detail that the additional door was years before she ever mentioned Kavanaugh. One of her many lies. What about the detail of four "witnesses" all denying this ever happened. Or the details where one time she says she heard them talking but later says she could not hear them. Or any of the other details. FU Three times.
And so, early on Friday afternoon, barely twenty-four hours after Ford left the witness stand, the eleven Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee—all white men, of course—
Just... :hand: :snooty: :naughty: ....FU again.

It goes on, but I just skimmed after that. I hope this type of "journalism" is being noted by the normies who don't normally question the media. They need to be replaced by real, honest journalists, if enough still exist.

Prosecuting her for using the wrong title seems like an exercise in pettiness that could backfire, bigly. You want to prosecute the false allegations or nothing at all in this case.
A title is not the issue. The issue, is she is calling herself something she’s not.
A “professor of psychology at Palo Alto University and a research psychologist at the Stanford University School of Medicine”?
By California law she isn’t allowed to call herself a research psychologist in an educational setting.

FYI: A person in Oregon who has an engineering degree and works as an engineer, can't call themselves an "engineer" without a license from the State of Oregon. (In fact, it's unclear if I, who has a "Professional Engineer" license from WA, could call myself an "engineer" in OR.)

I always like to go and see what their previous articles are too.

For any idiots that said goes easy on the Dems and this shit, listen to her, don't subpoena her...…………. this is what you fucking get.
What are talking about? You subpoena her she shows up and testifies. Exactly as she did yesterday. Now half the country believes her. This is Flake, he is looking for political cover. The FBI investigation is like DB says"where do you start" they are just going to be rehashing all the testimony. Nothing new will come of this it is limited for 7 days they'll write a report with no conclusions like Joe Biden said and the Dems will make other excuses. I dont like it but Flake, Collins, and Murkowski will have no excuse after this.
