Go to 8:43 at https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_loftus_the_fiction_of_memory#t-523210 and watch from there. It's really interesting.

Powerful quote from the end of the talk: "If I've learned anything from these decades of working on these problems it's this: just because somebody tells you something and they say it with confidence, just because they say it with lots of detail, just because they express emotion when they say it, it doesn't mean that it really happened."

BINGO.
And, once again - the 4 people SHE gave as people who could corroborate her story were unable to do that.

We get it. You think he is a lovely sweet man. Got it.

One does not need to be pro-Kavanaugh to be appalled by the use of totally uncorroborated allegations against a nominee.

This is inaccurate. And you know it. Cosby, Sandusky, Nassar, they all went down from testimony and sworn statements. She had that. She also has medical records that are considered evidence in all 50 states.

There was a ton of corroborating evidence in each of those cases.

And, because it evidently needs to be stated again..... NO corroborating evidence in this case. NONE.

That's just a he said - he said situation. One guy says he was drinking and belligerent, the other guy will deny it. No proof right?

Unless we can find the mutual friend who went to jail. Like the FBI could.

I don’t give that statement much validity.

If 5 people said that the same person raped them and the rest of the population said they had never been raped by that person, would you therefore not believe the statement of the 5?

We can do better than this piece of crap. Dump Kavanaugh.

Fod has not had "repressed memory" therapy. PLus, her memory of the event was not repressed -- she just didn't tell anyone for a long time.

How do you know?

How do you know she has? What I know is that she was in couples counseling with her husband, that she told some friends about the incident along the way, that the incident affected her studies in undergrad. There are no reports of any repressed memory therapy. It's simply speculation.

Plus, I know that repressed memory therapy has been debunked by the professional psychological community of which Ford is a part.

I DON’T know. But, I am not claiming I do know. Unlike you.
Since she will not submit her therapy records, the committee also does not know.
“The incident” could be anything. I believe something very traumatic happened to her - something much worse than what she is claiming - at the hands of someone that was NOT Brett Kavanaugh.

CAuse that makes more sense than a belligerent drunk attacked her.
Sounds legit.

If those 5 people had ZERO evidence and an agenda, yes.
Allegations are not proof.

Throw out unsubstantiated allegations of gang rape, attempted rape, and attempted murder

Make sure every media source repeats those allegations as fact

Make sure that any he said/she said is in front of the public

Attack the character of the accused when he dares himself

Make fun of the accused when he gets emotional when speaking of his wife and kids

Use the media to make fun of the accused

Repugs cry like a baby and make this white man who has skated by on privilege his entire life the victim. It’s crazy that white entitlement extends all the way to a SCOTUS seat. This is America you big baby. Nobody owes you anything.

You're the one with an axe to grind about anything that a white male with "privilege" might have. Not every white male is evil.

Remember, Cosby, Sandusky and Nassar were all being charged CRIMINALLY. They were not hoping for appointment to the Supreme Court.

The standard of evidence required to find someone guilty of sexual abuse or rape is and should be much higher than that which is required to fail to give a judge a promotion.

This is a dumb take.

Except in certain situations. Certainly one of those situations is when you’re interviewing for a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE position. On national TV under oath. That is where you would not do this. Would never work.

Except it might.

Watched his testimony with my teen as a lesson in what lying looks like. Evade, evade, evade....

Watched it with my teens (one DS and One DD) as an example of the fact that even when they are minors (14 and 16), they have reached a point where parents can no longer protect them from bad decisions. And that they have reached the age where the concern is less about what consequences mom and dad impose for screwing up, and more about the consequences life imposes (not getting into the college you want, the naked picture that gets passed around school, the DUI charge, or still dealing with bad decision making 40 year later).

And yes. We talked about how he looked like a liar. And she looked like someone who had experienced a lot of pain because she snuck away to a party and drank underage. And this time last year, they both had pretty great lives. And now, neither of their lives will ever be the same. He will always have the Clarence Thomas asterisks. She will always have conservative trolls trying to ruin her life. No one ultimately wins here.
