They didn't say it didn't happen. They said they don't remember. Let's see what they say under oath.

Look, the last thing the dems need is for this woman to be exposed as a radical and a liar - not knowing the truth works for them.  Right now they believe they have the upper hand.  She wont testify, at least wont take questions.  The best she'll do is give a statement(that we'll never see), then everybody will jump on the old "we didn't want her going through the Anita Hill abuse".  Nobody cares about Ford, It's all down to timing, did the dems stall enough?  

I think it's obvious that such was the plan when Dianne Feinstein held on to the accusation so long.  That suits me.  They should have waited until after the elections anyway.

Tentatively as she is demanding that he testifies first...   which is unusual as the accused  can't speak to the issue unless he knows what the accuser has said.  

All designed to drag it out and run down the clock.   Grassley is nuts if he lets the Dems. roll over him on this one.

It's obvious that she doesn't want to testify.  The Dems are simply waiting until they can blame Grassley and claim victimhood.  Ford is full of shit.   

Exactly.   I'm not sure of the timel ine or what will happen if she doesn't testify Thursday, but IMO if she does not, they should just have the vote.   This is just  organized political blackmail and I'd like to know who is paying for her high priced democrat lawyers.  

Better watch she doesn't get too hysterical or she might fall of the tractor.

William McGowan's 'Gray Lady Down': A Devastating Critique of the New York Times

In a brief foray into partisan politics, McGowan cites a fine media watchdog site called Times Watch, which analyzed a month of stories the Times did on Barack Obama and Republican John McCain during a slice of the 2008 campaign and found that positive portrayals for Obama outnumbering negative ones by a 3:1 ratio. When it came to McCain, that positive/negative ratio was reversed.

"Gray Lady Down" also deals at length with what I consider the most disturbing coverage the paper has put out since I began monitoring the paper: The Duke lacrosse "rape" hoax, a sordid interlude in which the newspaper's columnists and reporters often discarded the presumption of innocence while stacking the deck against three white lacrosse players arrested for the rape of a black stripper. The paper defended its coverage even as the case imploded and it was revealed that the players were victims of lies by the stripper and misconduct by the local prosecutor.

 

McGowan concluded by circling back to the departure of Abe Rosenthal, the symbol of the old-fashioned journalism he believes was exemplified under Rosenthal's regime. He's not a boycotter or even an enemy of the Times; most of his criticism is of the sorrowful, not angry, variety. He just longs for "a much better version of the Times than is being produced by the current regime." After reading his book, all but the most politically in denial Americans would surely agree.

It's been a long decline, accelerated by financial pressures on print news by New Media.   Before it could at least be used to wrap fish, but people don't do that much anymore either.   I remember the Jayson Blair scandal (2003).

The sub movie was better than today's NYT.

Definition of a racist ........ anyone disagreeing with a liberal 

Probably shows JT in a power dive...so no polls!

I agree with you.   Sounds more like it.

Not talking about gun ownership here

That 50k figure is quite the revelation considering the deliberate act of hiding the true figures.  This dishonesty should bring down the government

Politicizing gun ownership after a school shooting? Why?

Dunno. You brought it up.

Apparently he was sponsored by a church so how much vetting was done, I don't know.

This must be what he was referring to:

Quote

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland’s recent undiplomatic speech in Washington warned about “angry populism,” the rise of “strongmen” and the United States’ seeming withdrawal from the rules-based international order.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-canada-must-recognize-that-the-game-is-changing/

It must've stung so much when Harper was granted entry to the White House.

Harper gets it...Freeland doesn't and wants to live in the past, with the Americans bearing most of the post WW2 burden.

"Recent tensions between Canada and the Trump administration have jolted Canadian officials and commentators to the fact that the United States is moving toward a new model of global engagement rooted in unabashed self-interest. Many who are accustomed to the United States assuming a major share of resources and responsibilities are astonished. But they shouldn’t be. That game is over and may never resume. The deck has been reshuffled. Canadian policy makers need to be ready to play their hand on behalf of Canadian interests. "

No view on this, but I do find it amusing that her name is an anagram for "Yes, a secret man".

Love the way he gives completely different answers to her questions which were valid.  Asking about payment for illegal border crossers is not racist regardless of what org. she belonged to which they found out later.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tranlation-transcription-trudeau-heckler-video-1.4793229

The woman also shouted that Trudeau is intolerant of white Quebecors, which makes her position fairly clear. Trudeau didn't answer her question directly as politicians rarely do. However, do you think Harper or Trump would have engaged with the woman at all or would they just have her removed?

Trudeau tolerated the heckler far longer than most and I don't think she was even arrested. She was approached and questioned by two cops as she continued to pursue JT as he left the stage.

The woman is not a heckler!   She was asking a legitimate question!

It's not like as if they' hadn't encountered some snapshots of evil.

But in the course of their travels, their blog posts also noted flashes of cruelty.

On one mountain pass, a group of men blocked their path and tried to shove the couple off their bikes.

And just 50 yards from the Spanish border in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mr. Austin signaled to a driver that he wanted to cut into his lane. The driver let him enter and then — slowly and deliberately — began to run him over, trapping Mr. Austin’s bike between the advancing car and the vehicle ahead of them.

 

What is cruelty for no reason?  Evil.

Saw something funny yesterday but can't find the picture now; it was some Toronto people (councillors?) with a box saying something to the effect of:  dispose of your knives here..      LOL 

They are happy to do so knowing there is a convention coming up.  CBC is particularly divisive on this, not to mention actually making stuff up about what Bernier said and why.   They should be ashamed. 

John Tory is apoplectic. It does, after all, reduce the size of his empire.

Will this be the Conservatives' dedicated song to Justin?
