What's annoying is Feinstein, et al... think we're too stupid to see what they're doing. Then Grassley playing along with this nonsense as if to give Ford the benefit of the doubt - playing the nice guy. Which is politically okay for his constituents, I suppose. But for people like me, who are fed up with this dishonesty and corruption, I want these people out. They are mucking up everything half the country wants.
Grassley knows the press is against him and the GOP. He is thinking November, and he's not wrong.
It doesn't matter if Kavanaugh is Ghandi and the GOP is all Mother Theresas, it makes no difference,
the press will use this to give the Democratic Party a bigger club to wield come the election, because
a sizable portion of the population will believe the narrative that old white guys have nothing better
to do than pick on a fifty year old professor with a PhD - excuse me, a fifteen-year-old victim who
has lived in unspeakable trauma since that date, even though we don't know when that was.
He knows that if he doesn't play the nice guy, he will absolutely lose politically.
Just to give you an idea - only 5% of Democrats believe Keith Ellison's accuser - his
ex-girlfriend who says he abused her as recently as 2016. Just to remind us of what's really going on.
They are however all willing to believe a story which was sat on for six weeks, no details,
every witness available denies it occurred, and no indication of when or where it occurred.
And which happened to a bunch of drunken teenagers - including the accuser - 36 years ago.
