Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 4

[Anonymous]

Why was Judge’s interview so long? Can’t be good for Judge Brett. Am I the only one who thinks the votes still won’t be there to confirm him?

I love you!!!

By the same token, if you’re drunk enough to be assaulted while blacked out, you’re also kind of asking for it. Stay aware and in control of yourself and don’t drink to the point of becoming incredibly vulnerable, or you bear some of the responsibility.

NO YOU DON’T.

Correct. You don’t. It’s not okay to rape someone. Or sexually assault them. Ever. Not even when they are blacked out drunk.

I can't believe this has to be said. But here we are. JFC.

Nor can I believe that we have to say that men should not get too drunk because they might be falsely accused of sexual assault, leaving them with no leg to stand on and that would be their own fault.

The time he assaulted Dr. Ford?

Or the time he assaulted Ms. Ramirez?

How about when he got into that bar fight? Is that an excusable form of violence for you? Is that also false accusations or would you say it looks like Kavanaugh is maybe an aggressive drunk?

Do you people even read? He knew her well enough to text the bride to ask for the photo in which they both appeared. He did that before her allegation was made public.

Where's the text? See that's the problem with a lot of this. Let me guess. No one wants to see the text right because...Trump?

The woman that has the texts has been begging the FBI to contact her. There was a copy of her email to the FBI earlier in this thread. Also, I don't think the issue is whether or not Kavanaugh knew her. The issue is whether he has spoke about the alleged incident prior to it being published. He testified that he hadn't but the = texts show that he did.

Turn them over to her lawyers or the press.

Some advice for men who are worried about false rape allegations.

How To Protect Yourself From False Rape Allegations

I'm seeing a lot of scared men right now. My heart aches for you. I get it: You're just trying to go about your day when in a mere instant, your whole life could be turned upside down. It's a scary world—you could lose everything, just because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time.

With that in mind, I present my Top 10 Tips for Staying Safe from false rape accusations:

1. If you go to a party, either have only one drink, or only drink soda or water, so you can keep your wits about you. Never get tipsy around people you don't know and trust fully—it could come back to haunt you later. Even around people you fully trust, remember that most false rape allegations come from people you know. Be vigilant!

2. Use the buddy system, so you always have a witness! Only go to the bathroom with a friend, or ideally with a group of friends. Always have a friend walk you to your car, in case you run into a strange woman in the parking garage. Never go camping or hiking or biking or running or even just walking alone. NEVER go to a bar or concert or party or event alone; that is just asking for it.

3. If you're going out anywhere, make sure you text the specifics of your plans to at least one or two trusted friends, in case they need to verify your whereabouts to police later. You may also consider using a location sharing app so you have proof of where you were and when.

4. If you're going to exercise, make sure that you bring a friend, or even better, just exercise at home. Never go through a park alone. There might be a woman there who could accuse you.

5. When you're heading to class or work, never listen to music or podcasts on headphones. You need to listen carefully to your surroundings to make sure no woman is accusing you of anything.

6. When you're getting into your car at the end of the day, always check your backseat to make sure there aren't any women hiding back there. Never take shortcuts through alleys or parking lots that aren't extremely well lit, in case a woman is hiding there, waiting to accuse you.

7. Only take out the trash, walk the dog, get your mail, go to the ATM, or get gas during daylight hours. Most false rape accusations happen at night, and you don't want to become a statistic. If you MUST go out alone at night, make sure to get your phone out of your pocket and start recording video. Grasp the phone between your fingers so it's not obvious, but keep it ready in case a strange woman approaches you.

8. It's expensive to take Uber or Lyft all the time, I know. But never use public transportation after dark. It's just too risky. Indecent exposure and groping accusations are very common on the subway, and you can easily avoid this by simply taking a cab instead. Protect yourself.

9. Never rent ground-floor apartments, and make sure you lock all your windows at night, even if it's hot out. You never know if a woman is going to break into your bedroom to accuse you while you are asleep.

10. Last but not least, even if you follow all these tips, you could still be falsely accused. After all, no matter what steps you take to prevent it, it's simply a fact of life that every year, a low single-digit percentage of rape allegations will turn out to be false, on par with other false allegations of felonies, and that's just a sad truth we all have to live with. You can take precautions, but that's all you can do.

Hope this helps.

Um, no. The NCC earlier bleated on against the re-imposition of sanctions on Iran, against moving our embassy to Jerusalem, and in favor of Obamacare. Like the ACLU, its just another leftwing lobbying group.

But thanks for sharing!

Will this matter? I am guessing there are no Evangelical churches associated with this statement and that is the religious group the Republicans are most likely to pay attention to.
Evangelicals don’t seem to care about morality anymore. They mostly seem to care about blurring the line between church and state - in other words they want political power pure and simple

The inference here is that there are flags in past background checks.

Moreover, those flags appear to be of a sexual nature:

"Unfortunately, this is not the first instance of Committee Majority staff mischaracterizing or selectively disclosing information regarding the allegations of sexual misconduct by Judge Kavanaugh."

So Jeff got the talking points! Nice.

And the Dems of course know that this can't be disproved, since all the material is confidential, so they're free to say whatever they want. Next step is to have their flying monkeys attack another Senator.

Same thing here , best thing that can happen for republicans is that report shows nothing and Kavanaugh withdraws

Amen

There are Evangelicals in the communion. Along with most Baptist groups.

Both. Both Ford and Ramirez are examples of false accusations that he is now unable to convince many people that these events didn't happen because there was alcohol involved. Not just Kavanaugh, for all involved, but Kavanaugh is the one whose drinking is being examined in these situations.

A bar fight in which his part was throwing ice at a guy? Yeah, I'm okay with that.

I don't think they have the votes. It will end the same way Harvard did. He really upset the legal community. He will get counseling from his team, then the announcement will follow.

I stand corrected and humbled! Good for them. Did the Liberty University guy sign on?
