For something so impromptu, so strange in some ways … the hearing sure made an impact on us!
Some thoughts on the recent hearing:
- It was a ‘watershed‘ moment for our country.
- The hearing showed us how the R’s & D’s manage a serious issue in person, who they tend to trust and how they judge the sexes.
- It says alot that the R’s gave credence to the ‘accuser’ but the D’s assumed BK was guilty.
- I don’t believe every woman, I don’t believe every man on the basis of what they say happened. Other things like their personal life, motives need to corroborate their claims.
- The supposed ‘attack’ that was the focus of the hearing took place when they were minors!
- I heard CF say she was scared her parents would find out she was drinking at a party when parents not home. So at age 15 she was drinking. Did she consume alcohol before or during the BK party?
- What were the activities at the party …. dancing, swimming …. any activity with BK before the alleged attack?
- Did anyone ever ‘vet’ the Dr. before allowing her to disturb our nations Congressional process?
- The most powerful tool we have as humans in getting over a real or perceived wrong done to us is to ‘forgive’. This doesn’t mean we forget, but we don’t let abuse determine our happiness.
- The hearing should not have been handled like a crime had been committed, it was not a trial or criminal proceeding, but an inquiry.
- It should not have been aired in public, but held privately. This hearing was created by a ‘leaker’.
- The risk for slander, libel was not figured in this public display.
- There were so many conflicts that arose during the hearing, the unexpected was always happening. Most hearings, trials are more orderly, predictable.
- The ‘prosecution’ was not ready for a loving father and devoted husband and son, or someone with a long history of decency in his community and on the bench.
- The oft repeated reference to ‘hypothalamus’ was used to emotionally intimidate, like ‘proof’ she was accosted.
- Too many in the media jumped to the conclusion he was ‘guilty before proven’ at the drop of a hat, which showed the public their true stripes.
- CF’s side should have thot of the mid-term elections coming.
- CF should have had her husband, children by her side to lend credence to her character, allegations!
- I think the word ‘hypothalamus’ should be disallowed in court for at least 10 years.
- What was CF’s motive for going to the party (someone invite her, she liked a boy, she liked to drink away from home)? Wish she’d been asked things like that so we could have established her motives, credibility. BK shared his motives, lifestyle.
- All races, ages, professions, the sexes & foreign countries noticed how our government handled this sensitive matter!
- Making an ‘un-vetted’ accuser a ‘hero’ at the expense of a man already vetted by the FBI several times … not smart!
- Many husbands and wives have committed sexual errors and gotten stronger thru forgiveness.
- It was more like the Senate Judiciary Committee was acting as a therapist.
- Woman to woman ….. CF’s vocal ‘fry’ was not caused by one failed attack but a general disconnect somewhere. I was so puzzled by her vocal/emotional manner. Forensic body language experts report her making ‘pretty poses’, or defiant poses all the time thru questioning. She tried to manipulate thru ’emotional’ expressions, not facts, like a child does.
- Seeking revenge ‘no matter what’ never heals trauma, it’s a cancer like jealousy. To heal you deal with the abuse, your own needs and you don’t seek to destroy another in public and expect that by exposing him/her you will be healed. Exposing someone in public is ‘getting even’.
- It’s hypocritical for some in our society to laud teen party movies & then turn & attack someone for doing what you say is okay!
- Many Vets, crime victims go on after PTSD to have good lives.
- Mr. Kavanaugh displayed his humanity, his loves, his record and his frailties … Dr. Ford needed to do that.
- Treating any esteemed leader like a common criminal will not be easily forgotten!
To sum up in another’s words :
‘Why are we forced to deal with the possibility that something even happened to Dr. Ford …. even if something did happen to her, destroying a good man’s reputation and derailing the entire country is NOT the way to go about dealing with her problem.’ Young Democrats for Trump on Twitter
