Even if it is him, I don't see that it is that important. There is SO MUCH evidence against him. It doesn't seem to matter. |
I feel like when he is out of office, Republicans will wake up, coming out of a fog, and be like WTF just happened? I don't remember ANYTHING! I was brainwashed!!! |
The Democrats will nominate an upstanding thoughtful candidate in 2020 and win and Republicans will complain that he wears tan suits. |
Exactly. Nobody cares about how much he drank in high school. But he lied about it anyway. Which makes it significant. |
His yale classmates said they don't ever remember him dating anyone at anytime in college. I can't imagine a woman finding him dateable material. |
he was so skeevy, I can't either. |
+1 Having conveniently developed amnesia that not too long ago, they supported a candidate who didn't pay his taxes, had multiple allegations of sexual assault against him and who insulted heads of state around the world in a way that embarassed our great nation. |
Also, if he's putting his naked poker in a woman's face, that could be the reason no woman would date him at Yale. |
I just saw a picture of Julie Swetnick's supposed ex boyfriend who wrote the letter trying to slut shame her. He is like a 2. She was way out of his league. |
Someone will say we can't prove that was bret/bart, but I can't imagine anyone else at Yale doing this. This behavior is consistent with him. And it just doesn't seem likely yale would make the mistake and admit someone like him. This is not typical yale behavior. |
This post is dumb. I think the guy is guilty as hell, but your argument is that nobody else at Yale could have possibly done something like this? What are you smoking? I am a Yale alum. It would have been typical behavior from the non-trivial Bart O'Kavanaugh-like contingent.

Interesting water cooler talk in my office today. 4 co-workers. All DMV professionals. Aged 30-45. 2 white women, 1 white male, one AA male. One grew up in the DMV and went through FCPS. One from the South. One from the Midwest. some public HS, some private. Ect.
We all believe Ford, because we all knew the Bart O’Kavanaughs in our HS classes. The members of the football/basketball teams who hosted the keggers and did whatever it took to get under the cheerleaders’ skirts. They drank underage, and drove underage. In fact, one of the Bart’s in my high school was driving drunk and killed a cheerleader in an car accident my freshman year. He ended up in jail. And usually didn’t let little things like lack of consent stop them if they found themselves alone in a car with a girl. Three of us went to colleges where bad things happened at DKE parties. At my college, they were kicked off campus a couple years after I graduated. The point is that we now literally have 700 pages of discussion about this for a reason. Yes, SCOTUS is important. And yes, this has become the train wreck you can’t look away from. But for many of us, what Ford is saying just rings true. We saw it happen in our high schools. We heard the whispers about the girls Monday mornings. We know girls who were date raped and became the talk of the school. We know that, for the most part, the boys went on to have pretty wives and nice UMC lives, occasionally punctuated by rehab stints. Then again, it is not uncommon for them to cheat on those women. So now, you have two groups of people. Those who never thought it was fair that the Bart O’Kavanughs of the world were so untouchable and could get way with anything. And women especially are angry that took advantage of us, and then made jokes about the xxx alumni in the high school yearbook. We want Kavanugh voted down because we want it to be clear that what happened to us was not okay, and as a country we have come to realize that. We know that if Kavanaugh is seated, it says to the 2018 high school aged Bart O’Kavanaughs that they can take advantage of our daughters. And I would imagine that it is dawning on all the Bart O’Kavanaughs out there that #MeToo could be coming for them. This is so not about who did what to whom in the 1980s in Bethesda. Or a bar fights or what a Devils Triangle is. Or even liberals and conservatives. It’s about power. The power of the wealthy and men to get what they want at the expense of others. The power of women to have an equal say. In sex, in politics, at home, and in high school. I am so over Ford and Brett and Sqi and PJ and why was the music already on. But I care 700 pages of DCUM about this because I want the Bart O’Kavanaugh of my DD’s high school to think twice before he touching my DD without her consent. |
Rachel Mitchell is being called out by other prosecutors, saying a reasonable prosecutor would have to interview the other witnesses (therapist, judge) before making a decision about prosecution. Also ridiculous to not interview the accused when he was there and available. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/gop-prosecutor-leaps-to-conclusion-despite-incomplete-testimony-1334424643831?v=railb&
