A Tale of Two Opposing Realities: Truth and Lies in the Senate Judiciary Committee Kavanaugh Rape Hearing
It is impossible to calmly explain what happened at the Kavanaugh Rape hearing.
The unfair and deeply partisan process showed us how Trump and his Republican Congressional lackeys hate this country and our democratic values, and how they are willing to do anything to pervert our system of checks and balances in order to get their corrupt way.
The sham hearing was designed to favor Kavanaugh by eliminating key witnesses and evidence, and by refusing an FBI investigation of the Rape charges.
And where was Mark Judge?

But we must begin at the beginning with Rachel Mitchell, in my view the worst Republican enabler of them all, given that she prosecutes degenerates like Brett Kavanaugh for a living:

In my article on the Kavanaugh Senate Judiciary committee charade, constructed by the odious Trump Republicans who hate humanity and moral values, I alluded to the fact that they had no guts and were farming out their Constitutional responsibilities of Advice and Consent to an outside prosecutor:

Using a favorite Trump word, they are all a bunch of Pussies for letting someone else do their questioning for them.
Prior to the hearing, I was not sure what to make of articles like this one that portrayed Rachel Mitchell as a normal human being:

I suppose that everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, but in this case Ms. Mitchell resembles her fellow Mariposa County Fascist Joe Arpaio:
It is indeed difficult to precisely compare the two, but it is clear that Mitchell has served as a Useful Idiot to aid in the vicious persecution of Christine Blasey Ford rather than helping us to better process the actual complications and complexities of the Kavanaugh Rape case and what it means to our country and its political system. Like Arpaio, she is a willing tool of the Right Wing political machine, eager to do their bidding.
Her questioning was deeply offensive, relentlessly attacking the victim:
Mitchell, whatever her political views, should never have taken the gig; it is an insult to our democratic process and could only lead to the disastrous result that we have now all seen.
Dr. Ford was an eminently credible witness whose quiet shakiness and palpable fear was quite real, her memories painfully searing and eminently believable.
But the second half of the hearing was very different than the first half:

It was a tale of two opposing realities.
In what can only be described as The Full Trump – Deny, Obfuscate, Yell, Go Ballistic, Act Like a Toddler – the degenerate Pimp Kavanaugh apparently “passed” his second Rapist audition for the New Duce:
The new Celebrity Apprentice!
After not getting rave reviews from the Rapist-in-Chief for his FOX News softball interview just a few days earlier, Kavanaugh now showed us what White Privilege really looks like.
All that witness prep at the White House must have paid off!

Trump mentor Roy Cohn would have truly been proud.
For those unfamiliar with that degenerate scum:

It has been reported that the Republicans were somewhat disheartened by Dr. Ford’s solid testimony, but were buoyed by the cruel aggression and bullying of the Rapist Kavanaugh:
They were so ecstatic that they stopped Ms. Mitchell’s questioning of the Rapist, and took back their microphones!

Kavanaugh helped them by going full FOX News wacko conspiracy-mongering, raising the “standard” well beyond Clarence Thomas’ “High-Tech Lynching” rhetoric:

Clarence “Pubic Hair on My Coke Can” Thomas surely has got nothing on Brett “Pimp Rapist” Kavanaugh given this truly hysterical outburst, replete with crying and naked partisan aggression against Democratic senators, that he used as his “Hail Mary” to cut Dr. Ford at the proverbial knees.
Indeed, not only has nothing been learned since the Anita Hill debacle, things are now much worse on Capitol Hill, as female victims of sexual assault are being vilified today by perverted old White men in ways that are truly unspeakable.
As I have written, all this is to be expected given that the current president is a man who has boasted of his sexual assaults on women, and who, under the malignant Roy Cohn influence, responds to any charge against him with fire and fury bluster – and endless lying.
In terms of actual substance, in stark contrast to Dr. Ford, Kavanaugh refused to call for an FBI investigation and provided no specifics to rebut her testimony. He just continued to bawl away like an infant whose pacifier was taken away and desperately needs a time out.
He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he not only does not have the dispassionate temperament required of a Supreme Court Justice, screaming about Liberals and Clintons and “Borking” like an unhinged Rush Limbaugh, but unwittingly showed us the white-hot rage that he has been accused of by his victims.
Looking at Kavanaugh rant and rave like a lunatic, it was clear to those with any moral sense that he is a person who is perfectly capable of committing every heinous action that has been ascribed to him by multiple accusers:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/26/us/politics/brett-kavanaugh-accusers-women.html
Dr. Ford’s life has been turned upside-down by coming forward, showing us what true courage looks like. She could have kept quiet and avoided all this persecution. Her love of country should be commended.
The degenerate liar Kavanaugh has showed America and the world what a lowlife scumbag he is; a man whose sense of privilege and entitlement knows no bounds, and who will lie – like Trump – as easily as he breathes. He is a true Enemy of the State.
This is the New Rule of Law in Trump’s America.
