Psh. My DH has a journal-many- he started in 9th grade and wrote in almost every night up to and including the night of his college grad for his BS. EVERY. NIGHT. For 8 years.

Kavanaugh has calendars from summer 1982 that he plans to give the Senate that don't show a party that matches Blasey Ford's description, according to someone working for his confirmation. Calendars can't prove it didn't happen but his team will argue there is no corroboration.

The calendars show he was out of town much of the summer at the beach or with his parents and they detail basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and so forth. A few parties are mentioned but include names of people other than those identified by Blasey Ford.

I don’t find this highly unusual. My DH has his calendars from way, way back. There are some people who just keep stuff like that. My DH keeps a lot of other stuff, too, but that is a different story. Fortunately, we have a lot of storage area. Or, maybe, unfortunately.

I dunno. This does seem bizarre to me.

I’ll bet you are a millennial. Nothing derogatory about that - it is just that millennials are not generally “collectors” like generations before. My kids are millennials. They don’t care about “stuff.” Wish my DH felt the same way.

The FBI already declined to do an investigation after Feinstein passed it to them. It's not their jurisdiction to investigate what would be a state offense involving minors in a private home.

They investigated the Anita Hill accusations as part of the background check. So you are wrong.

That is because Hill was a federal employee accusing another federal employee of misconduct. Totally different circumstances.

Wait, you're saying if someone is up for a federal job and the FBI has to do security clearance, they can only talk to federal employees about the candidate? How does that make sense?

In fact it doesn't because I and my non-fed spouse have both talked to FBI investigators doing security clearances for candidates of federal jobs.

If Kavanaugh were putting forward his journal or diary, that would bring marginally more on point.

A calendar? Did he write down all the keggers on the calendar, including location and everyone in attendance??

Does anyone else get the idea that Mrs. Kavanaugh and her friends are some busy bees on these threads?

Because we bring evidence to contradict assertions people are making here?

Has it occurred to you that some people here want to safeguard the seriousness with which women's assault allegations are taken and feel that is undermined by high profile allegations as flimsy as Ford's?

Agree. I am appalled by these liberals who say we should believe her, regardless of any evidence, because women should be believed....because....well....

I bet these same women would sing a different tune if their husbands were accused.

And I bet YOU would sing a different tune if you or your daughter had been assaulted and no one believed you.

DP. If my daughter had been assaulted, I would counsel her to make a report IMMEDIATELY. Not to, you know, wait 35+ years and then expect to be believed.

Yes, great mother you are, if your daughter was so tramatized and begged you not to force her to make a report you'd force her to. Good going.

And when her accuser says no he didn't do it and no one believes your daughter, glad to know that you'd still be on the side of men who are publicly called out for their assaults.

I'd bet you'd have been one of the high school students who didn't stick up for this girl. I feel sorry for your daughter.

Maybe feel sorry for your daughter who has a mother who encourages her weakness.

Democrats talk a big game about “empowering” women when the reality is, they simply want them to remain victims. Reporting is just too traumatic! Vomit.

Yes, we already know that you GOPers have no empathy for women and judge them harshly when they don't do what you think is appropriate.

It’s the latest Ina long line of nonsensical points they’ve been making.

I’m not a millennial. But younger than Brett Kavanaugh; I still find it utterly bizarre that days after the Shaggy defense, the Ex Whelen Discovers Zillow escapade, and Grassley’s assistant getting axed for sex misconduct, the newest stratagem are a series of calendars...kept by a high school senior documenting his summer...and how that is supppsed to provide a complete overview of when he may have partied to the point of a drunken sex assault.

Why won't any of her friends testify for her?

No. That is not what I am saying. The FBI investigated because she made a complaint against him. they were both federal employees. This was only part of the background check they did on Thomas.
And, yes, the FBI talks to neighbors, friends, relatives, acquaintances, co workers - all part of a background investigation.

Because the Judiciary Committee won't let them. Just like Mark Judge, Kavanaugh's friend, won't testify.

Nothing that a victim chooses to do is good enough for GOPers and the words of victims is meaningless.

I started a separate thread about women who do tell and nothing happens to their accuser, even with a guilty plea, and that this total lack of taking sexual assault seriously leads to women not reporting. So far it has basically been crickets from GOPers.

Have you looked up Keyser? She's "partied hard". Does she remember anything from high school? She's had several current friends and family vouch for her.

Oh, goddamit, no!!! NO!!! What can I do? How can I move on from your devastating critique? I’m going to hide out with Bill Shine and really do some thinking, some light soul-searching, a little calendar consulting. I’ll miss you, of course.
