Christine Ford, Kavanaugh's accuser, has presented a list of demands. The demands are silly and manipulative. And they raise a question: Is Christine Ford acting like a traumatized woman seeking justice, or is she acting like a political agent seeking to prevent a conservative from being appointed to the Supreme Court?

Norm MacDonald is the latest public figure to feel the wrath of the outrage mob for making a perfectly valid point about a contentious issue. This is how things go in America now. Nobody is allowed to think for themselves or introduce a divergent opinion into the mix. Nuance and subtlety are rejected. People just want to hear their own shallow thoughts repeated back to them.
