Ireena, confused: I don't understand, if she wanted the children alive, why would she kill this one?

(I'm gonna start doing this in third person tbh. Comes out a bit better)

Snerp bows his head in shame

I cannot lie. Maggie attempted to run when i asked her about what was thumping in her cart. I did not yet suspect she might have been hiding a frail child. Perhaps an adult. So when I gave chase I used my magical abilities to upend the cart to end the chase. But the truth was far more evil than I would have suspected.

I tried everything I could to save him, I truly did, but it was too late. 

Snerp slumps down on the floor and begins weeping softly.

She might have technically violated the California statute

Btw, it's not "technically." She labeled herself as a research psychologist, when labeling yourself as a psychologist or any such derivation of psychologist is expressly illegal in all 50 states, when making public declarations. Testimony under oath on national TV? I must have missed where that doesn't constitute as a public declaration

 18 U.S. Code § 1621 - Perjury generally-  having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the United States authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or
(2)
in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true;
is guilty of perjury

So how likely do you think it is being such an expert in the field of psychology, at the age of 50+, that Christine Ford didn't know she couldn't label herself as a psychologist and/or posture herself as having professional expertise regarding licensed pyschological practices? 

Again, she labeled herself a research psychologist. Then went on to definitively claim later what is and is not the job of a therapist. She was clearly trying to mislead in her testimony as to her credibility in the field of psychology. This despite pulling shit out her ass left and right.

She might have technically violated the California statute, but perjury? Nope.

Psychologist: an expert or specialist in psychology.

She is a professor of clinical psychology. I would say that makes her both an expert and specialist in psychology, whether or not California requires a license to practice psychology.

It doesn't matter how you would view it. Its how it's written in statutes. And what she said and how she postured herself could easily constitute as perjury being she was trying to pass off professional expertise she doesn't actually have.

Normally I'd agree. But consider that she was trying to pass herself off as a professional expert, when she isn't even licensed. 

"It's not a therapists job to write down details of events patients tell them" 

This along with her other use of psych terminology clearly illustrates she was posturing herself as having actually been licensed and therefore practiced psychology or any of the subsidiary derivations. When she clearly has not ever been licensed, ergo has never actually practiced psychology. 

This is where it can easily be viewed as perjury. She was trying to pass off professional expertise and know how she actually does not have. It would be perjury if a person who hasn't passed the bar labels themselves as a lawyer and tries to posture as if they are a professional expert who has actually been licensced and certified. 

Stanford U threw her under the bus and scrubbed her profile, which is kinda humurous. Had her labeled as a psychologist, then suddenly now she's just an "affiliate". Lol she done fucked up

Has nothing to do with "clinical" akd everything to do with her posturing herself as a psychologist without being licensed. 

Under California law, as with almost every other state, in order for a person to identify publicly as a psychologist they must be licensed by the California Board of Psychology, a process that includes 3,000 hours of post-doctoral professional experience and passing two rigorous exams. To call oneself a psychologist without being licensed by a state board is the equivalent of a law school graduate calling herself a lawyer without ever taking the bar exam.

Aside from potentially misleading the committee, Ford also appears to have violated California law. California’s Business and Professional Code Sections 2900-2919 govern the state’s laws for practicing psychology. Section 2903 reads, “No person may engage in the practice of psychology, or represent himself or herself to be a psychologist, without a license granted under this chapter, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.” Section 2902(c) states: (c) “A person represents himself or herself to be a psychologist when the person holds himself or herself out to the public by any title or description of services incorporating the words ‘psychology,’ ‘psychological,’ ‘psychologist,’ ‘psychology consultation,’ ‘psychology consultant,’ ‘psychometry,’ ‘psychometrics’ or ‘psychometrist,’ ‘psychotherapy,’ ‘psychotherapist,’ ‘psychoanalysis,’ or ‘psychoanalyst,’ or when the person holds himself or herself out to be trained, experienced, or an expert in the field of psychology

Whereas the term “research psychologist” may be common in academic parlance, and permissible within accredited institutions, the issue seems to be publicly presenting oneself under any title containing the word “psychologist” if a person is not licensed. Ford is a professor and a researcher, but not a psychologist. Section 2910 of the law states, “This chapter shall not be construed to restrict the practice of psychology on the part of persons who are salaried employees of accredited or approved academic institutions, public schools, or governmental agencies, if those employees are complying with the following (1) Performing those psychological activities as part of the duties for which they were hired. (2) Performing those activities solely within the jurisdiction or confines of those organizations. (3) Do not hold themselves out to the public by any title or description of activities incorporating the words ‘psychology,’ ‘psychological,’ or ‘psychologist

Pelosi aint getting her crumbs back anytime soon, and you'll just have to deal with that reality.

They're crumbs, but they sure do want to put those taxes back in place despite them being "crumbs". This is how disattached Dems have become, they don't even understand an extra 2,500 on average isn't crumbs at all. Thats far from crumbs to most people. 

Should come as no surprise that investment and consumer confidence is 50 year highs and small businesses are booming again and being started at record paces. People have money to spend again after taxes were cut dramatically. Who could have ever seen that one coming except the people who understand business and economics 😂😂

The employment figures PALE in comparison to Obama's drop

Do they now? The US shed over 4 million jobs during Obama's tenure and uunemployment claims were not anywhere near all-time lows or even lows in comparison to decades ago. I agree they pale in comparison to how absolutely shitty Obama's economic prowress was. 

Anybody else remember, "2%[GDP growth] is the new normal"? I'm asking for a friend cause we're at above 4% and have been for a little bit now.

Seriously, Ismark. This is who you find?

I jump back up to my feet, and look at Ireena.

As much as I would like to ask you all kinda questions because you just look like a song needs to be made in your honor. But this is far more important. Eikka is right, Maggie herself said the townsfolk gave her the child and that, "the meat goes bad when they're dead." Then she disappeared. Clearly these meat pies are being made out of kids.

I eye both Ireena and Ismarck suspiciously

Neither of you two would know anything about that would you? I'm sorry but she said the town knew about it

I turn to exclusively Ismarck, a cold, almost pained expression on my face as a glimmer of red appears in my pupils

(minor illusion, but hey, highly nimble and dextrous and i "tripped" over my feet, so perhaps maybe Snerp is just a performer who sells certain angles. Like not being much of a threat after tripping over my beard 😏)

And you are the self-professed leader of the town. So you'll have to excuse me if I have to wonder whether or not you do. Either way with or without you she and anyone else involved will be brought down.

You are magnificent! Are you a knight? I bet you're a knight of some or-

and fall flat on my face suddenly, tripping over my own beard and faceplanting on the floor.

From behind the door, a female voice. Who is it?

I jump forward upon hearing the female voice. 

Well hello, other members in our travelling party, Roberts, Grahf, and Luxraxt spoke with Ismarck earlier about a certain... proposition. We came to speak with him again and maybe rest for the night as well.

And you with the voice from my dreams. Who would you be my dear?

Within the first minute, and broke California State Law at the same time. 😂😂


After thanking members of the committee on Thursday, and while under oath, Ford opened her testimony saying, “My name is Christine Blasey Ford, I am a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University and a research psychologist at the Stanford University School of Medicine.”

The issue lies with the word “psychologist,” and Ford potentially misrepresenting herself and her credentials, an infraction that is taken very seriously in the psychology field as well as under California law.

Under California law, as with almost every other state, in order for a person to identify publicly as a psychologist they must be licensed by the California Board of Psychology, a process that includes 3,000 hours of post-doctoral professional experience and passing two rigorous exams. To call oneself a psychologist without being licensed by a state board is the equivalent of a law school graduate calling herself a lawyer without ever taking the bar exam.
According to records, Ford is not licensed in the state of California. A recent search through the Department of Consumer Affairs License Bureau, which provides a state-run database of all licensed psychologists in California, produced no results for any variation of spelling on Ford’s name. If Ford at one time had a license but it is now inactive, she would legally still be allowed to call herself a “psychologist” but forbidden from practicing psychology on patients until it was renewed. However, the database would have shown any past licenses granted to Ford, even if they were inactive.
Ford also does not appear to have been licensed in any other states outside California. Since graduating with a PhD in educational psychology from the University of Southern California in 1996 it does not appear Ford has spent any significant amount of time outside the state. She married her husband in California in 2002, and completed a master’s degree in California in 2009. She reportedly completed an internship in Hawaii, but a search of Hawaii’s Board of Psychology licensing database also did not turn up any results for Ford.

I mean. Can you imagine the absurdity of some dumb senator grilling the Judge on his yearbook from when he was 17, some 36 years ago?

My god that was idiotic

This was the same senator who during the Ford testimony was like, "the hardest thing to do as a prosecutor is tell someone there isnt enough evidence to bring something to trial."

Then proceeds to list things that aren't evidence that's admissible in court/even constitutes as evidence at all. 

"She came forward and was willing to testify in front of everyone"

She immediately contradicted that minutes later btw 😂. And that isnt evidence of anything beyond that. What a pathetic hack 😂😂

Hope he realizes that's gonna be plastered everywhere when he's up for re-election. "Look at this former prosecutor who either blatantly lied, or doesn't know the law at all. You really wanna vote for such an idiot?"

Also, Democrats refused to allow Judge to testify because they knew he would make Ford look bad

Mmhm, then in the hearing kept repeating that Judge nor the polygraph examiner were being brought to testify. Despite it being them that blocked it because Judge unequivocally denied it and the polygraph examiner even admitted the test was shit. 

Notice how there were no calls to bring the therapist to testify. Also notice how Ford, being a psych professor, blatantly lied about it not being a therapists job to write down details of recounted events? 

That's psych 101 shit where you learn that is a therapists job. And then also where you learn, "hey, you can get your license to practice revoked if you don't report probable crimes to police. That requires writing down patient accounts of past events.

Absolutely horrid testimony from Ford. That diary/calendar kept from the age of 14 was a bombshell though. Did you see Ford's lawyers in the background shit their pants and start looking down alot? 

Guarantee they knew nothing about that and we're scrambling to write down everything, like, "oh we are so fucked, this just fucked everything." 

😂😂😂

Because he and his good drinking buddy Mark Judge would be put under oath.

Except Judge already has been put under oath and made a statement under penalty of perjury. He denies it categorically. Ford's best friend, denies even having met Kavanaugh period. Nobody else corroborates it either. 

That diary/journal though. Every accusation just got blown out of the water by that. The obstruction failed and it only made the Dems look pathetic AF. Congrats, they just gave all the ammunition needed to get turn out the Republican voter base en masse. 

"This senator doesn't believe in due process, presumption of innocence, and shits on our founding documents and principles." 

Watch as Repubs gain seats now lol

I start CPR trying to imitate what I've seen Eikka do as best as I can.

Ooh, you're going to tell the town. She cackles. Who do you think gave me the child?! Take him back, the meat goes bad once they die. Trust me, little gnome, I'll be getting compensation one way or another.
Suddenly she vanishes out of sight.

I recoil at Maggie saying the town gave her the child. A hardened expression passing over my face as I stand up and and look at Roberts, my expression calm but a seething rage can be seen in my eyes. Through gritted teeth i speak to Roberts

She dies tonight and the town will be lucky if I don't decide to burn it to the ground.

I think the performance check will work anyways. I still have inspiration to use if it fails on Ismarck particularly. I think he's prolly the most important one to convince. Given that we've agreed to help Ireena too, he'll likely see reason. 👏👏)
