Fox News Poll: Record number of voters oppose Kavanaugh nomination

After the 2000 U.S. presidential election (in which Kavanaugh worked for the George W. Bush campaign in the Florida recount), Kavanaugh joined the administration as White House Staff Secretary and was a central figure in its efforts to identify and confirm judicial nominees.

Kavanaugh was first nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit by President Bush in 2003. His confirmation hearings were contentious; they stalled for three years over charges of partisanship. Kavanaugh was ultimately confirmed to the D.C. Circuit in May 2006 after a series of negotiations between Democratic and Republican U.S. Senators. An analysis covering the period 2003–2018 found that Kavanaugh had the most or second-most conservative voting record on the D.C. Court in every policy area.

It seems that he was clearly on the road to the hierarchy of the government back then. So for such a professional that Ford is, why wait until now - 36 years after the incident & 18 after he entered the White House?

Took #metoo to break the strangle hold on boys will be boys.

Took #metoo to break the strangle hold on boys will be boys.

True, but apparently, at least 5 witnesses have been found who state that nothing untoward happened. Could it be a case of that famous cliché coming to mind - Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

That is interesting in and of itself since Kavanaugh said he wasn't there!

The Bank of International Settlements said Sunday the global economy risked a "relapse" of the crisis that rocked it a decade ago, warning there was little "medicine" left to treat the patient a second time.

"Things look rather fragile," BIS chief economist Claudio Borio told reporters in a conference call.

"There is little left in the medicine chest to nurse the patient back to health or care for him in case of a relapse," he warned.

Borio pointed out that central banks around the world had for years been administering "powerful medicine" to counter the effects of the crisis, with "unusually and persistently low interest rates."

This, he said, had helped boost economic activity, "but some side effects were inevitable."

He pointed for instance to the crises that have recently erupted in Argentina and Turkey, describing them as "withdrawal symptoms" as the central banks start cutting back the dosage.

After years of ultra-accommodating monetary policy, the US Federal Reserve has begun hiking interest rates, while the European Central Bank (ECB) recently announced it would end its stimulus programme at the end of this year.

But amidst this normalisation process, BIS noted a stark divergence between growth in the US market and the situation in emerging economies especially.

Asset prices in emerging economies have been hit by a stronger dollar, as well as growing global trade tensions, BIS said.

Signs of a slowdown in the Chinese economy, which has become increasingly critical for commodity producers, were also hitting emerging economies hard, it said.

At the same time, risky lending similar to what landed the world in the global financial crisis a decade ago is on the rise.

Borio pointed out that US-dollar-lending to non-banks in emerging economies "has actually more than doubled since the Great Financial Crisis to some $3.7 trillion."

And he pointed out that this number does not even include borrowing through so-called foreign exchange swaps, "which could easily be of a similar order of magnitude."

Borio also voiced concern about the situation in the United States, pointing to the "red-hot" leveraged loan market, with banks "off-loading their loans onto an eager investor base."

Some of the loans, he said, were off-loaded via collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), which are "close cousins" of the infamous instruments known as collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and securities backed by residential mortgages, which sparked the 2008 crisis.

Yep, the bubble will burst.

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Thanx for the good read. With a degree in economics I followed that time period quite closely and the narrative the author describes seems to be quite accurate.

https://abc7.com/politics/report-2nd-woman-claims-sexual-misconduct-by-kavanaugh/4322395/

The New Yorker magazine is reporting that Senate Democrats are investigating a second woman's accusation of sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh from his teenage years.

In a story posted Sunday night on its website, The New Yorker reports that the claim dates to the 1983-84 academic year, Kavanaugh's freshman year at Yale University.

The New Yorker identifies the woman as 53-year-old Deborah Ramirez. The magazine says she described the incident in an interview after being contacted by the magazine.

The magazine says Ramirez remembers that Kavanaugh 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.
