If you had asked me six months ago if I socialized a lot during high school, I would have said no, my parents were strict and I didn’t really go out much. Then my mother gave me a box of memorabilia from high school including several journals. Guess what?! I went out to small get togethers a lot, like two school nights and two weekend days, and when I read the journal, I didn’t remember several of the people I wrote about interactions with at these parties. High school was just twenty years ago for me, but I obviously didn’t need those inconsequential memories, so my brain pruned them.

Memory is a funny thing. Trauma fixes memories for the people who suffer them; Blasey Ford remembering the night someone attempted to rape her and her friend not remembering is actually a perfect illustration of this.

Sorry if my common sense disrupts your safe space.

Um, ok. Thanks for your anecdote?

Hey, you’re welcome! I know it’s nice to have examples that illustrate the nature of memory and I was happy to provide a relevant example. Lots of people, (like 7:17, for example!) are convinced that memory is perfect and they take any challenge to their memory as an attack on their intelligence. It’s not. It’s memory, a great system full of bugs and evolutionary adaptations.

Strangely they 100% believe Leland’s lack of recollection and disbelieve Christine’s recollection entirely. It’s curious, that.

Actually, 7:17 is correct. If what Ford claims is true, I would also have remembered being the only girl left at a small gathering, and wondering where my best friend went, why she ditched me, and how on earth she got home. I would remember worrying about her and frantically calling her, either from the house party or when I got home. I would remember going home without her.

However, Keyser remembers none of that. Nothing. Pretty curious, that.

And, any good friend would have asked her about this later..........

When you are nominated to SCOTUS, you can bring your journals to the Senate confirmations to show that you were popular in high school.

The FBI's not returning the phone call of a person whose BEST input to an investigation MIGHT BE a list of people who might have been at a party that happened 30 years ago, and that said person did not attend, does not mean that the investigation is a sham.

I think some people think that the purpose of an investigation is to confirm what the complaining party has asserted. That's unfair, unrealistic, and pretty absurd, because it assumes that the assertion is true, and that the investigator must continue looking for and talking with any potential witness who can confirm the allegation.

OMG. You can’t even hear yourself, can you?

I think this entire Blasey Ford thing was trumped up by the Dems, but a close relative had similar drug problems to Leland Keyser and does not have great recall. Not necessarily because they were using drugs at the time, but later drug usage diminished the memory part of the brain.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood what you were saying in my last response. You are absolutely right. An investigation doesn’t mean that allegations will be found true.

Bingo. And, remember, she was not raped. Had she been raped, she might not have talked about it because of the "shame." But, a "close call?" She would have told her friends. That's what girls that age do.

The whole story stinks and it has from the very beginning.
It was orchestrated and produced by Katz. Even the details she "remembers" changed. One that stuck out to me was that the staircase in the house was orignially "short." That indicates to me that she was describing a split level. Later, it change to "narrow." Which seems to me to indicate a colonial.

She was "afraid to fly," and, yet she flew frequently. It was implied that she needed time to drive to DC.
And, remember, it was openly reported that the committee had offered to come to her for testimony. She acted like she had never heard that option.

And, the two doors on the front of the house because of her "fear." And, yet she had boarders for some time--the first one being a marriage therapist who was possibly her therapist. She was also the former owner of the house.

There's lots more here. Too much to write.

It’s delicious when you’ve been proven wrong yet all you can do is double down and tsk-tsk. So telling.

BK Fan Girls post 3:1 for every other post. FRENZY!

Interesting that you’ve posted more than anyone else with your “BK fan girls” nonsense. Looks like you’re enjoying yourself the most here!

4 posts out of 700+? Sorry you suck at math.

But don’t worry - BK will love you anyway. Just hand him a beer and show him all of your enthusiastic posts defending him.

Sour grapes are so unattractive. Maybe find a hobby in which to channel your rage?

It's good to see that the new book "The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation" is getting thoroughly trashed by Amazon reviewers. A book whose main evidence of Kavanaugh's guilt is the authors' "gut feeling" (about a person/people they've never even met) which trumps the opinions of those in question deserves the negative feedback.

DCUM libs, you need to brigade the comment section and add positive reviews. Maybe that person who looked at their high school journals should go tell that story on Amazon. Like say, 'I went to some gatherings in HS that I don't remember, therefore Kavanaugh is a rapist!' Go, go, go!!!

Unlike the conservatives leaving fraudulent reviews, why would I leave a review for a book I haven’t read?

[Anonymous]

There are a lot of pps screaming about “Kavanaugh acted perfectly for a man who was falsely accused” and I found a tweet that might translate that kind of craziness to those of us for whom Brett looked insane: “I think the fear is not "she said I raped her and I didn't" but "she said I raped her and I could have."” I think a lot of these insanely defensive PPs who are vociferously defending a man who deserves no such defense are afraid of their own actions in the past.

Now it comes out that Max Stier's wife, Florence Yu Pan, was nominated by Obama to the DC Circuit Court, and GOP Senators let that nomination lapse.

Of course, The NY Times didn’t think that was relevant information.

No one is surprised.

The NYT (the newspaper) is dead.

The sad thing is, I bet they’ll do just that.

This is getting worse and worse. The NYT will never recover from this abomination.
Apparently the authors of the article never even talked to the not victim.
What a own goal from the “worlds greatest newspaper”
