Well, that's what Avenatti had been tweeting all week. Although I had ignored him, thought he was just puffing.

Are Ronan Farrow and Michael Avenatti even Democrats?

I’m a woman and not one shred of my being believes any of this. It’s simply not credible or substantiated in any way. This kind of underhanded slander that can come out of nowhere and destroy someone for no reason is truly alarming.

I doubt you are a woman.

I ran the post through a gender checker and it came back female. Too bad there aren’t critical thinking checkers. I’m confident it would get a low score there.

What the heck, in addition to being a pervert is is also narcissistic!

I hope Mrs Kavanaugh leaves him, DC, and changes her name and theirs. Those poor little girls.

You're assuming this is all news to her.

Get social services involved too.

Sure, go ahead.

(You'll chicken out because you'll realize how scary it is to come out with those kinds of allegations, and then you'll understand why only real victims have the guts to take the heat)

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.

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.

Sorry. Your message is undecipherable in an attempt to be witty or clever. Utter fail.

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.

DP. Again - you're not witty or clever. Try harder. Or not.

I thought it was very witty. I laughed out loud.

That is because the GOP Senators KNEW about all of this last week when they were trying to ensure the vote would be on Thursday.

Too late. You had to tell your therapist about it years ago.

He wasn't confirmed in July and it is highly likely he won't be confirmed now.

Alan Dershowitz, more than anyone else, should know that this is a job interview, not a court of law. If it were a court of law, you would have an actual investigation, you would have probative evidence etc.
