He was asked if he had denied Trudeau a request for face time while the two leaders were at the UN.
"Yeah, I did," Trump said. "His tariffs are too high and he doesn't seem to want to move. And I've told him, 'Forget about it.'"
LOL. I do value our relationship with the US, but LOL @ Trump trying to bully us into a new NAFTA deal. Go F yourself.Quote:
Officials in the Prime Minister's Office disputed the president's statement — insisting for the second time this week that they did not request a meeting and declining further comment.
Fox News' Chris Wallace calls Christine Blasey Ford's hearing a 'disaster for the Republicans'
http://theweek.com/speedreads/798545...er-republicans
Quote:
In extremely emotional testimony, [Christine Blasey] Ford described the alleged event and the effect it has had on her life. A Fox News panel discussed how hearing from Ford herself was far different from reading her allegations.
"This was extremely emotional, extremely raw, and extremely credible," Wallace concurred. "Nobody could listen to her deliver those words and talk about the assault and the impact that it had on her life and not have your heart go out to her." He continued by criticizing Republicans for bringing in Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell to question Ford on their behalf, saying that Mitchell was making slow progress while Democratic senators managed to land "haymakers."
Wallace divulged earlier Thursday that his daughters came forward with "things that happened to them in high school" as a result of Ford's allegations. He urged viewers not to "disregard" the "seriousness" of Ford's testimony.
Lady full of shit imo
Anybody who went to an elitist all-boys school has, without question sexually assaulted women in the past.
Burn this backward cunt.
damn they both seem to be telling the truth
This is a strange one. She was rock solid. He appears righteously angry. I make nothing of his calender and his I’m friends with a lot of black people version of his women friends nonsense. I just can’t put a finger on whether he’s angry that his sins have come back to haunt him, he’s truly innocent, or he truly doesn’t remember. I put a high likelihood on the latter regarding both of them. I agree they both appear truthful. It’s not at all impossible one or the other has confused something. That was the 80s. Still, I hope he has a mental breakdown and jumps off the Key Bridge. Small price to pay for a delay on our march towards a theocratic Supreme Court.
She was super believable, responded to every direct question reasonably.
He's acting like Trump at a press conference.
Couldn't be going better for Dems. Chuck and Nancy should be high fiving. Not sure if it matters though.
I am guessing he truly has zero memory of the incident.
If we were to travel back in time to what actually happened, I am guessing what we would actually see was him doing a little grab ass, which may have even been viewed as consensual from his drunken perception by him at the time, and certainly was viewed more sympathetically in that time and place as "boys will be boys" behavior.
I am also guessing the Ford truly felt violated and humiliated by the incident, and it stayed with her, and she built it up in her memory as an actual attempted rape.
As with most partisan political infighting, I think everyone comes out a loser in this one, and we move on to next weeks spectacular political event.
How can any reasonable person watch this guy for any length of time and think, he's well equipped for a lifetime seat on the highest court in the land?
Classic BCR, thoughtful, cogent, reasonable, and mature. Probably my all time favorite poster and has been for many years.
Terrible alt, anti-matter, bizarro, liberal facist BCR. Illogical, indecent, and intellectually immature. Doesn't care if this is all a lie as long as the outcome is to his satisfaction.
Keeps simpleton republicans around as pet/friends to be mocked and pitied.
Three cheers for BCR and a big raspberry for bizarro BCR.
He sounds like a religious Alex Jones.
And you may have missed it. But did you know that he finished top of his class, captained the basketball team, and STILL likes a beer?
And the real sexual assault here is those on the Republican panel brutally raping these lame Dems.
I know they're somewhat hamstrung, but the Dems haven't landed a single blow here. Their line of questioning has been completely ineffective.
What if Christine Blasey Ford had been as furious as Brett Kavanaugh?
http://theweek.com/speedreads/798659...rett-kavanaugh
Quote:
The Daily Beast's Sam Stein pointed out the vast difference between the two dispositions, describing Ford as "almost apologetic in her testimony," while "Kavanaugh, the alleged perpetrator, is yelling and angry." An "amazing contrast in gender norms and expectations," said Stein.
...
Critics like Susie Banikarim of Gizmodo theorized that Ford would have seen the "end of her career" if she had been equally angry in her testimony. "If a woman screamed and cried this much she'd be discounted as an unhinged, angry, fragile mess unfit to do any job of value," said Banikarim.
how does he not watch her testimony? They both seemed believable, but gun to my head, he's a blackout drunk and did it and doesn't remember.
Dems don’t give two shits about this lady, they don’t want the court to skew conservative.
Repressed memories that were brought out in 2012...that’s the only “evidence” whatsoever.
Case against this guy is a pile of crap....but she did sound credible...so I think she actually believes her story.
I predict that his alcoholic buddy will be dead within 6 months.
Sounds like the one person who could destroy Kavanaugh and they don't want him near anybody with a badge.
And CNN just laughably called that whole farcical shitshow "must see TV"
Pathetic
Kanye out here giving Nazis a bad name...
Keenan gets through to Supreme Court faster than Niel.
you guys know hes getting confirmed regardless right?
Yeah he's getting confirmed...
Did Rodny Rosenstein get fired or what though?
*this.
And purely based on the circumstances, not his merits. He’s gotten this far and hasn’t broken his stride or run away with his tail between his legs. Like him or hate him....label him alcoholic, sexual predator, sociopath or none of the above - the guy has been put to the test over the last few weeks and he is still standing. Granted, he’s broken down and beat up - but who wouldn’t be after going through any of this, publicly (I speak for the accused and the alleged victims?) I’m sure I will get lit up for saying this - much like I was last year when voicing my anger over the public shaming of several of the men who faced Me Too allegations and I am OK with that. Facts are facts.
Possible. I’m guessing that he did experience some blackouts. Whether he experienced one on that occasion (assuming Ford remembers correctly) can never be known. What is pretty clear, though, is that he is a partisan hack who should never be allowed on the Supreme Court. But if he does, then the Dems will need to call for the FBI to investigate all of these accusations, as well as any others that come forward, with an eye towards impeaching him from SCOTUS for perjury when they get control of both houses of Congress in 2 years, 3 months, and some odd days.
What went on today is a splendid representation of where we are as a Nation — divided.
I can give a little insight possibly to the judges attitude,
I have a close friend who's father was a supreme court justus in Canada
fuck was he a prick arrogant even when he wasn't sitting in court every one was to call him your honour, your worship etc (we called him to his back Judge Pudge) He was a real slimy fuck too he cheated on his wife and left her and there four children for a court clerk 30 years younger.
I guess he was a good judge but he didn't hold him self to the same rules as he was judging accused people too.
he lied cheated and eventually stole 100k from his exwifes estate after she was wasted away with dementia, he eventually died and left his children Nothing.
My friend told me that all his fathers judge buddies were cunts too most divorced as well.
hes getting confirmed because the religious right have quietly rigged the checks and balances that made a democracy viable, and the means by which they did so in jesus' name will take generations to repair.
which is almost ironic when you consider that we as a species dont have generations left, until you realize that the religious right need armageddon to legitimize their belief system.
so basically they are ending life on earth just so they dont look like idiots.
magical times indeed.
The only slither of comfort I get from a Trump Presidency is watching dogs like Vanessa howl hysterically into the sky.
Tine, come on this is as intellectually dishonest as I have ever seen you.
The right changed the rules of the Senate electing Supreme Court nominees?
Literally all anyone said at the time was, “this is going to come back and fuck you really hard.” They did it anyways and guess what? They are getting fucked.
Also, I have so many questions about this lady.
She didn’t tell anyone about it for roughly 30 years.
She doesn’t know when it happened.
She doesn’t know where it happened.
Nobody else there including her still personal friend remembers it happening.
Then to top it off, Feinstein could have released this two months ago when she got it and not saved it for political theater.
