Trump, who has been accused of sexual assault by at least 14 women, just mocked Christine Ford for accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

"I don't know. I don't know. Upstairs, downstairs, I don't know. I don't remember."

cc: @JeffFlake @SenatorCollins @lisamurkowski
@JeffFlake @SenatorCollins @lisamurkowski Trump on why he sympathizes with Kavanaugh: "I've had so many false accusations...They can say anything they want and you can't sue them because you can't sue if you're famous."
Here's the video of Trump mocking Ford and her allegations in front of thousands of people, including an imitation of her testimony
REMINDER: Trump was recorded, on video, BRAGGING about sexually assaulting women

TRUMP: "At the request of Democrats it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall."

What Democrat has requested a border wall made of steel?
TRUMP: "The border wall would very quickly pay for itself."

Absolutely no evidence of this. Trump cites the cost of illegal drugs, most of which come through official ports of entry.
TRUMP: "The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico."

This is not true. And the deal hasn't even been approved by Congress.

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

Any network that airs this live is knowingly participating in a disinformation campaign
Some conflicting info, but @JenniferJJacobs of Bloomberg says the networks will air this live

This show just how deeply the mainstream media misunderstands Trump and his tactics

@JenniferJJacobs This is what happened when Obama gave a primetime address on immigration in 2014

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

Sexual assault is a crime and so is making a false allegation. Somehow, we always tend to presume innocence for men accused of sexual assault, but we never presume the innocence of women accused of making up a rape story. The due process argument is a sham.
What would due process really look like for all involved? A trauma-informed, sensitive investigation. We didn't get that with #Kavanaugh. We don't get it in most criminal cases of sexual assault.
But presuming that men accused of sexual assault are innocent? It isn't due process and it can't be. It threatens the due process rights of the women making sexual assault allegations.

When we say “women,” please clarify that this means *straight cis white women*.

Gay/trans women / women of color have smelled the GOP mess for decades and they’ve voted in suit. If it’s somehow new to straight cis white women, that’s part of the problem.

newsweek.com/republicans-ju…
White women have voted essentially 50-50 Republican/Democrat in presidential races since 1952. Only the 1964 Johnson/Goldwater race is a substantial outlier. 52% voted for Trump in 2016—against an outrageously qualified white woman. That’s just in line with long term trends.
To think this event or even this presidency means “Republicans have lost women” is bad analysis; the truth is that they have never lost straight cis white women, and they have never won gay/trans women and women of color.

“Winning women” means getting more of the latter to vote.

Kavanaugh / Mark Judge & blackouts

"One of the trickiest things about blackouts is that you don’t necessarily know you’re having one. I wrote a memoir, so centered around the slips of memory caused by heavy drinking that it is actually called 'Blackout'"
nytimes.com/2018/09/29/opi…
Here is a lonely tweet diving into the issue of Kavanaugh's blackouts by looking at that calendar ...

Who Won, Anyway?

@notclimatebrad makes a great point with this tweet
The calendar and yearbook are referencing Kavanaugh attending an Orioles double header but for some reason ... Kavanaugh doesn't know who won.

A link to the tweet & the science behind blackouts with loss of memory after heavy alcohol consumption

#Kavanaugh REALITY CHECK:

Nominated by a president who may be guilty of federal crimes.

Credibly accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

Repeatedly and demonstrably lied under oath.

Gave unhinged, belligerent, conspiratorial testimony.

AND NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED NO.
Here's a useful thread about why #Kavanaugh's outrageous demeanor is disqualifying:
If you want to understand why I haven't joined the pro-Flake chorus, read this and understand that #Kavanaugh may likely end up on the Supreme Court.

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.
