I don't usually blog about politics but I think I will today. I started this yesterday but by voice software required a reboot so I couldn't keep it. I have the TV muted so I can use my voice software and have learned that body language tells a lot. I watch the accuser and I can follow about half of what is said with closed captioning. When they have a "special news break" it's mostly a lot of blah blah... but through all this which has taken weeks I have questions that I am sure will never get answered.
One of my questions is why was a 15-year-old girl at a high school drinking party? When I was growing up I had a sister and a stepsister that would never have been allowed to go out by themselves and to a party unattended by adults. They would've had to prove that a responsible adult would be there. All my friends and parents would do the same. I grew up in the 70's and this was a common thing. When I was in school there were a few guys who were notorious for having alcohol parties and there were two types of girls who would go. There were girls that were really adults much younger than everybody else. The other type that were naïve and were viewed as fresh by these fellows. Everybody in school knew about this, but some girls didn't believe it and went to these parties. Some of the stories were horrible and spread like wildfire. Of course is not their fault and they should've been respected. They went into a dangerous situation that I am sure they were warned about, but either didn't believe it or they thought they could take care of themselves. It didn't take much alcohol and the resistance common sense disappeared.
I have also wondered why our president did not select a woman. Women make up over half the population it seems to me three women should be a minimum having nine justices. I am sure there must be a qualified woman judge out there.
Cavanaugh seems like an odd choice and I wonder if if he is a Trump sycophant and has promised personal loyalty to the president and not justice.
Having learned to watch TV without the sound on, I have learned to read body language and follow the words. Many times body language is more telling than what is said. I've always gotten a creepy feeling from Cavanaugh. Watching I thought accuser came across as being at best eccentric. I have wondered if this event was so traumatic why has she not seen a therapist. The event was 30 years ago and her choices seem a bit odd to me.
Seeing her on TV with her hair looking like her picture on the news from a skiing trip is seems like her hair just came off the slopes. That part struck me as odd and most people when they're going to be on TV at least comb their hair. If I had a teacher with hair hanging in her face all the time and uncombed I would think eccentric and probably close to being a genius.
Of course these are questions that I will never have answers for. I don't want to comment on the outcome or the truthfulness of either because to be honest it's outside my pay grade. This is a democratic republic and our elected officials are required to address these issues. Sometimes this produces strange and sad results. I would hope that a new candidate that was more moderate could be chosen. Maybe that will happen.
I am running out of breath now so will sign off. Thank you again for reading my blog. I had hoped to post more this week ,but other things prevented me. One other thing would be my health and also the pets. After being exposed to these politics that leave me more troubled and confused I look forward to cat videos. It is nice to get the diversion of these extremists that fight for our votes.
