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.

It’s a muggy day, here in the CatBox.  I’ll have to button-up soon.  I’m listening to Bought Bitch Mitch on TV.  In six minutes, he has told 28 lies, exceeding 4 LPM.  I slept poorly and am tired.  OGIM!

Short Takes:

From NY Times: Representative Scott Taylor, Republican of Virginia, has enjoyed a rapid political rise anchored in his valorous background as a member of the Navy SEALs, a credential with great resonance in a district that includes the world’s largest naval station and one of the highest concentrations of voters connected to the military. Fit, square-jawed and telegenic, he was expected to have a relatively easy time winning re-election in November.

But now he is threatened with a sudden fall: His campaign is facing accusations that it was part of an improper effort to help an independent candidate get on the ballot and siphon voters from his Democratic challenger. The allegations, which included using the names of dead people or voters who did not live in the district on signature petitions, were serious enough to warrant the appointment of a special prosecutor, and the independent candidate, Shaun Brown, was stricken from the ballot by the Virginia Supreme Court.

Mr. Taylor’s race is emblematic of an emerging problem for Republicans as they seek to maintain an increasingly tenuous grip on the House: A seat once considered relatively safe is now imperiled because of scandal, expanding an already broad field of Democratic opportunity.

There’s a reason Republicans are always in the hot-seat. Their policies are so vile, that without committing crimes, they could not win. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

From Vox: The political world went into a frenzy Monday morning as various reports suggested Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — special counsel Robert Mueller’s boss — was out. Some reports claimed he had resigned, and some that he was about to be fired.

But as of early Monday afternoon, Rosenstein was still in his job. And apparently, he’ll be there for at least a few more days — the White House has said he’ll meet with President Trump on Thursday.

Rosenstein said he will refuse to resign and, if asked to do so, he will demand that Putin’s Puppet fire him.  I think this is an attempt to distract attention from Pervert Kananookie’s multiple victims.  RESIST!!  VOTE BLUE!!

From Boston Globe: Dozens of students dressed in black staged a sit-in at Yale Law School on Monday to protest the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and demand an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Organizers said allegations of sexual assault and harassment should be taken seriously, and Kavanaugh poses a ‘‘real threat’’ to the country. Other Yale students traveled to Washington to protest Kavanaugh’s nomination on Monday.

This is the support Pervert Kavanookie gets from his alma mater. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

As September is drawing to a close, we can all agree that this has been a terrible month for Twitler – which makes it a pretty damn good month for us.

So let’s review some of Twitler’s lowlights and our highlights.

Let’s start back on Thursday, September 6th in the unlikely place of Billings, MT at one of Twitler’s tiresome ego-boosting rallies.  It was there we learned that not all hero’s wear capes – some of them wear plaid!

That backdrop gallery Twitler demands to cheer him on, despite being hand-picked by his handlers for their “enthusiasm”, contained a “one-of-these-is-not-like-the-others” person.  Our unlikely hero was a 17 year-old senior from Billings West High School, Tyler Linfesty – who became better known as #PlaidShirtGuy.

And oddly enough, he was just a couple folks away from a Nose-Picking Trumpkin who decided the American flag she was wearing was just the perfect hankie to wipe her nose.

After a while, Twitler’s crack-crew realized Linfesty was making an even bigger fool of Twitler than he does by himself – and so kicked him out.  But only after having the Secret Service detain him and run a check on him simply because he was not adoring enough of “Dear Leader”.

It’s like they don’t even realize our First Amendment exists – and just start with the 2nd.

Here’s a sampling of #PlaidShirtGuy’s great facial expressions, Trumpkin’s nose-picking gal and our hero’s unfortunate forced-exit.  But luckily #PlaidShirtGuy ruled the internets for days!

Even before #PlaidShirtGuy, Trump was already reeling from the Anonymous Op-Ed “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration” published in his “favorite” paper, “The New York Times”.

Naturally Twitler went ballistic:

And the sad thing is the list of people “ratting” him out is virtually endless …

Although leaked much earlier, Twitler was hit by another body-blow with the official publication of Bob Woodward’s devastating book, “FEAR: Trump in the White House” on September 11th.

And while the book is chockablock full of scathing details that we’re all familiar with by now, the truly sad thing is that the gestalt – the tenor – of the book does not surprise us one whit.  We already knew Twitler was an amoral, lying, ruthless, misogynist a$$hole before he even announced his candidacy.

But for the sake of posterity, here are two good sources for a few takeaway highlights (or lowlights, depending on perspective) of Twitler’s deeply-flawed “Crazytown”:

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/five-most-shocking-episodes-from-woodward-white-house-memoir

Stormy Daniels did not want to be left out of the bashing fun, so she too revealed a little of her upcoming book:

“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool …

“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart …

“It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/18/stormy-daniels-tell-all-book-on-trump-salacious-detail-and-claims-of-cheating

I suspect my reaction was very similar to yours …

And of course, we’re all …

And it looks like this Thursday has the potential to become the cherry on top of a great September when Dr. Christine Blasey Ford appears before the Judiciary Committee with its 11 old, white, male Rethuglicans.

While I’m not holding my breath it’ll stop him, Kavanaugh, for his part, has been furiously prepping for his upcoming grilling (and a brand-new opportunity to lie & perjure himself some more).  But leaks show it’s not been going well for Brett at all:

But Kavanaugh grew frustrated when it came to questions that dug into his private life, particularly his drinking habits and his sexual proclivities, according to three people familiar with the preparations, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. He declined to answer some questions altogether, saying they were too personal, these people said.

“I’m not going to answer that,” Kavanaugh said at one point….

Too personal?  TOO PERSONAL?!?

This from the guy who, in a Memo 20 years ago, directed his boss, Ken Starr, to ask Pres. Clinton during the impeachment procedures the following questions:

 

WARNING: NSFW – POSSIBLE TRIGGER

 

If Monica Lewinsky says you inserted a cigar into her vagina while you were in the Oval Office area, would she be lying?

If Monica Lewinsky says that you had phone sex with her on approximately 15 occasions, would she be lying?

If Monica Lewinsky says that on several occasions in the Oval Office area, you used your fingers to stimulate her vagina and bring her to orgasm, would she be lying?

If Monica Lewinsky says that she gave you oral sex on nine occasions in the Oval Office area, would she by lying?

If Monica Lewinsky says that you ejaculated into her mouth on two occasions in the Oval Office area, would she be lying?

If Monica Lewinsky says that on several occasions you had her give oral sex, made her stop, and then ejaculated into the sink in the bathroom off the Oval Office, would she be lying?

If Monica Lewinsky says that you masturbated into a trashcan in your secretary’s office, would she be lying?

No wonder the a$$hole looks scared to death …

Yep, all-in-all September has been a very good month.  And it’s not over with yet!

Here is the one hundred thirty-sixth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is CNN Journalist, Anderson Cooper. He is so honored for presenting paid Republican operatives as every-day voters on his national news show.

0923CooperThe producers of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 apparently did not want their viewers to know that a panel full of women who they portrayed as everyday, ordinary Republican voters were actually a bunch of GOP operatives.

Here’s more on that panel from The Hill, where one of the women defended the indefensible on the Kavanaugh allegations: GOP woman on Kavanaugh allegations: ‘What boy hasn’t done this in high school?’:

A panel of five Republican women in Florida joined CNN this week to defend Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh amid sexual assault allegations leveled against him…

When I first saw this, I had no idea he had done this.

To be honest, Anderson Cooper’s claims that he is so politically neutral, that he does not even vote.  However, to be neutral he could not lie to his audience and tell them paid propagandists for Perverts Kava-Nazi and Trump are just voters like us.  That is so evil, that it’s a Republican thing to do, and as long as he tells Republican lies, he deserves to be treated as a Republican.

It’s a cool day, so I think I can get away with no AC.  WWWendy is due in 15 minutes.  When we finish our tasks, I plan to spend my day in religious meditation on the wonder of the holy Ellipsoid Orb.

Today’s took me 3:21 (average 4:38).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From Politico: Six of Republican Rep. Paul Gosar’s nine siblings set tongues wagging in Arizona and beyond with some of the more memorable ads of the year, urging voters of the state’s 4th congressional district to boot him from office in November.

The brothers and sisters instead encouraged voters to cast their ballots for the congressman’s Democratic opponent, David Brill, who surfaced the three spots on his YouTube page Friday. They quickly went viral.

One ad — entitled, “A Family Defends Its Honor” — opens with David Gosar, a lawyer.

All relatives of Republican politicians, pundits, and goose-steppers should do that. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

From Daily Kos:

Kavanaugh and the W.H. have both denied conspiring with Ed Whelan on his bullshit hit piece but…

Washington Post

“On Sunday, Ford noticed that — even before her name became public — Whelan appeared to be seeking information about her.

That morning, Ford alerted an associate via email that Whelan had looked at her LinkedIn page, according to the email, which was reviewed by The Post. LinkedIn allows some subscribers to see who views their pages. Ford sent the email about 90 minutes after The Post shared her name with a White House spokesman and hours before her identity was revealed in a story posted on its website.

A White House spokesman said Friday that neither Kavanaugh nor anyone in the White House gave Ford’s name to Whelan before it was disclosed by The Post. Whelan did not respond to a request for comment on how he first learned of Ford’s identity.

Now we know how Christine was outed. Pervert Trump and Pervert Kava-Nazi had it done. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

From Washington Post: Just as he did several weeks ago to prepare for his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court, Brett M. Kavanaugh was back inside a room at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building — again facing questioners readying him for a high-stakes appearance in the Senate.

This time, the questions were much different. An array of White House aides, playing the role of various senators on the Judiciary Committee, quizzed Kavanaugh last week about his sex life and other personal matters in an attempt to prepare him for a hearing that would inevitably be uncomfortable.

In his answers during the practice runs, aides said, Kavanaugh condemned sexual assault and carefully avoided seeming to discredit Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor in Northern California who has accused the nominee of pinning her to a bed, groping her and putting his hand over her mouth to stifle her screams as he tried to take off her clothes at a drunken high school party in the early 1980s.

But Kavanaugh grew frustrated when it came to questions that dug into his private life, particularly his drinking habits and his sexual proclivities, according to three people familiar with the preparations, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. He declined to answer some questions altogether, saying they were too personal, these people said.

Hmmmm…. Does Pervert Kava-Nazi have other victims? RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

It’s that time of week again, so here are four fine video clips from Bill’s show last night.  Enjoy!

Monologue: Private Parts and Public Hearings

 

Despite Republicans’ best attempts to stop her from testifying, Christine has agreed to do so.  If Kava-Nazi is confirmed, he, Trump, Roy Moore, Clarence Thomas, and an unwilling teen might have a party.

Kava-Nazi is so foul that he’s a … Republican!

I agree with most of what Moore has to say, even the parts I don’t like.

Everyday Erinyes #137

 Posted by at 7:53 am  Politics
Sep 222018
 

Experts in autocracies have pointed out that it is, unfortunately, easy to slip into normalizing the tyrant, hence it is important to hang on to outrage. These incidents which seem to call for the efforts of the Greek Furies (Erinyes) to come and deal with them will, I hope, help with that. As a reminder, though no one really knows how many there were supposed to be, the three names we have are Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone. These roughly translate as “unceasing,” “grudging,” and “vengeful destruction.”

I don’t have a major issue today that most people are unaware of – at least, not one I haven’t talked about before. I did do an article in July about gentrification. However, that was in Cairo, IL, a small town where opportunity was limited, and it was specifically regarding public housing. This story is set in New York City, in Kings County (AKA Brooklyn), and it concerns a brownstone home (the same kind of home the fictional Nero Wolfe lived in) in the Crown Heights neighborhood, a home OWNED (and completely paid off) by a retired nurse, Marlene Saunders.

To back up some, NYC (or some entity thereof – I am not qualified to explain the convoluted entities required to keep New York running) has a “Third Party Transfer program,” which

designates sponsors to restore distressed vacant and occupied single-family homes in an effort to maintain affordable housing options to low-and-middle income households.

I suppose “distressed can have multiple meanings, depending on circumstances. In this case the city considered the property “distressed” on account of unpaid property taxes. But there was one problem. Saunders taxes were completely up to date. The money had been collected from her bank account, but it took a hundred and twenty days for it to be credited to her city property account. Oh, and there was also a “delinquent water bill,” which has since been paid, and which I find questionable.

Saunders first learned of the seizure from a Seizure Notice which came in her mail in August. She called, and was advised the seizure had already been accomplished via a court proceeding about which she knew nothing. Fortunately for her, there is a councilman who represents Northern Crown Heights and also sits as the chair of the Council’s Committee on Housing and Buildings, and he came to her defense.

“Home-ownership is one of the most important ways a family is able to build and transfer wealth from one generation to the next,” Cornegy told the [Kings County Politics – a local news source]. “In that light, and with the ever-increasing cost of living in this city, preserving home ownership opportunities is critical in predominantly black and brown communities like ours.”

“As both the elected council member for this district and the Chair of the Council’s Committee on Housing and Buildings, preserving these opportunities by fighting for homeowners is something I take very seriously,” he added.

The councilman and the news source looked over all the paperwork, and concluded

“that it appeared the city was trying to take their property for no clear reason.” Days later, they said they received a letter from an HPD spokesman stating, “Upon investigation, it appears the owner made a mistake in applying the necessary payment to the wrong property.”

“It is obvious this was a simple error and so we will reverse the transfer so that the owner can sustain ownership of the property,” it continued.

Ms. Saunders has her property back, but Councilman Cornegy suggests that the Saunders home represents just the tip of the iceberg. He and Kings County Politics are attempting to utilize this story to publicize the problem, since no one can solve a problem of which they are unaware. I’ll bet the Furies can do an excellent job of calling attention to this.

I do have one other story to bring to light this week – but there is, alas nothing new about it either. if I were going to give it a title, I would call it “A Tale of Two Murders” (hey, titles can’t be copyrighted, so I can’t get in trouble for stealing – er, borrowing one).

Even if you have been all caught up in the Kavanazi hearings and the latest craziness from the White House, you have probably heard of Mollie Tibbets. You would almost have had to be in a coma to have missed it. Mollie was a lovely and bright young woman, twenty years old, a student of psychology at the University of Iowa. She disappeared on the afternoon of July 18 while out for a run. Her body was found a month later, in a field. It was hidden under cornstalks. She had died from “multiple sharp force injuries.”  A suspect was identified, who turned out to be an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who had worked on a nearby farm for almost five years.

Well, every Republican politician in the country and every anchor at Fox News lost their minds (yes, I realize that presumes they had minds -but it’s just an expression.) Mollie herself disappeared again – this time in the flood of rhetoric. It calmed down a little (but you know it’s still there, underneath) when Mollie’s father, Rob Tibbetts, wrote a blistering guest Op-Ed for the Des Moines Register, in which he said, among other things, that “[T]o knowingly foment discord among races is a disgrace to our flag.”

This week, almost two months to the day later, a lovely and bright twenty-two year old woman, a student of civil engineering at the University of Iowa, disappeared from a physical fitness activity. This time it was a round of golf (she was one heck of a golfer, having recently won the European Ladies’ Amateur Championship, representing Spain. Her name was Celia Barquin[-Arozamena] and, yes she was an immigrant – documented.

Somewhere around the ninth hole, she was attacked, assaulted, and stabbed multiple times in the heart. Staff found her body in a pond. A suspect was identified, who turned out to be a homeless man with a long criminal record, and, I presume from the name (and the silence), white (and a citizen.)

I’ll bet this is the first you’ve heard of it. My source article was the first I had heard of it, and I found it on a tip from CREDO, not through any of the news outlets from whom I daily receive newsletters. Of course, it did happen more recently than Mollie’s murder – but it will be interesting to be looking for stories and seeing what we find. It has been making front page headlines in Spain, though.

My source article asks the question, “What explains the disparity?” I’m sure that is rhetorical. I’m sure we all know the answer. And I’ll bet the Furies will be happy to get to work spreading this news … and asking that question.

The Furies and I will be back.
