Ford came forward, good for her but it is unfair and wrong that she gets a free pass on any probing questions, just maybe she is lying (although there seems to be no motivation for that, but still). No one can deny that her claim about being afraid to fly is BS. And her boyfriend of 6 years claims she stolen from him and other transgressions - his exact dates he did recall from 30 years ago match up with the dates Ford's friend took polygraph- how would he know that unless it was true? It is unfair she gets a pass - sorry but it just is and I am a woman. I don't have a problem with the questioning of Kavanaugh, hey he signed up for it. TS that his family gets hurt, he brought them into it. I would like to hear why Ford will not release her polygraph notes, because otherwise I form my own conclusion. I wish BOTH sides would be investigated and the vote not to be for a few weeks to have more thorough questioning. But let's be clear, under a microscope she has blemishes too.. |
Oh, I'm sorry - do you have evidence that he "drinks to excess" as an adult? In public or in private? No? Didn't think so. Get a life. |
I had a similar thought when Judge Kavanaugh mention his daughter praying for Dr. Ford because of how I know some people pray. Mu Auny Flo would pray for people when she hoped the person would realize that what they were doing was wrong and repent. A gay man that she really liked loved next door to her (he would share stuff from his garden, shelve her walk in the winter, and was just a good neighbor) and she would alway pray for him in the hopes that he would repent and abandon his “homosexual lifestyle”. People in the family knew when they did something Aunt Flo disagreed with because she would make comments like, “I heard you got into some trouble at school, you know school is really important, I will be praying for you.” I also once worked on a case that involved a company’s president praying for his executives at the executive employee bible study groups. No one wanted the company president to pray for them because the prays often would be along the lines of asking god to help the head of marketing find the will and strength to work harder since he was underperformaing. |
Well there goes Kavanaugh. |
Didn't Ford say there were a total of 4 people, other than her, at the party? Isn't the investigation regarding Ford's allegation? Why 40 people, if the investigation is regarding Ford's allegation and the number of possible witnesses is significantly fewer than 10, much less 40? |
My DH was on the swim team at an all male high school in California. In the yearbook swim team photo, most of the boys have erections. The comments throughout the book were trashy. It’s what hs boys do to show their immaturity. |
Well then I have a bridge in brooklyn to sell you. I was raised by an alcoholic. I know one when I see one. |
PP here. I have not commented much in politics, but I'll say this. I will grant that none of us can say with 100% certainty that either Dr. Blasey or Judge Kavanaugh were lying. But given the evidence that has come out from his contemporaries at GT Prep, former classmates, roomates, etc., I think it's reasonable to say that that there is a high likelihood that he did not tell the complete truth about everything. I'm also a Ph.D.-trained research scientist. We're trained to never say with 100% certainty that we believe the data, but we talk in terms of likelihoods. I would say that in this case, based on the evidence, that there is a high likelihood that he is lying about at least some minor details. |
+1 I see no reason why Ford shouldn't be thoroughly investigated as well. Polygraph, therapist notes, etc. Why should only the accused be subject to humiliating investigations? |
Citation please. |
Oh, sweetie. Your personal experiences have no bearing here. Sorry, but they just don't. Stop extrapolating them onto someone you've never even met. |
Multiple posters have said (paraphrasing bc the endless requotes are making us dizzy):
1. Ford "publicly" accused K of attempted rape 2. Feinstein is to blame for holding the letter to blow up his appointment One answer for both points. Ford told Feinstein and her lawyers that she did not want this to be a public scandal. She hoped that it would be investigated privately among SCJ to determine if K would be removed from consideration. Could Feinstein have been at odds to protect Ford's request and privacy? Do you think she made the decision to secretly hold letter until she deemed the right time to blow it up, without consent from Ford or her lawyers? She is part of a committee of what is supposed to be a non partisan supreme court of law. Why would she risk her own position, lifelong reputation and the trust of the American people that Ford represents? |
Learn to write coherently, then get back to us. |
No. It just means the Senators feel they are ready to vote. The attempts and ACA repeal went down infames, despite getting cloture. Normally, the appointee would be pulled if the votes aren’t’ there. But Trump’s method is to force even losing votes. |
The 40+ people include the members of the public who have come forward to offer sworn statements as it relates to all three allegations. |
