[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you compare base facts between Kavanaugh and Platner, Platner comes off worse. I personally do not see how anyone who believed Ford and opposed Kavanaugh can support Platner. Kavanaugh was a high schooler at the time of the alleged assault and there was no contemporaneous evidence of the alleged assault, whereas Platner was an adult and there is some contemporaneous evidence, albeit imperfect. Ford went first to Anna Eshoo and then Feinstein, Platner’s accuser is a conservative activist (but this happened in the days before DC was so polarized; that sort of dating wasn’t rare); that washes out. There are more women allegedly in the wings with more than there were with Kavanaugh. And, there weren’t any adult accusations of Kavanaugh, it was from when he was a teen.

[b]I am genuinely trying to understand how Democrats that wholeheartedly supported Ford can continue to support Platner and even worse, attack the woman who came forward so viciously.[/b] It seems completely hypocritical. [/quote]
Probably because the other five women had an entirely different experience, and they are also not attached to a political agenda as this one woman obviously is. Also, why is everyone calling it sexual assault? Where was the sexual assault allegation, or is it simply that her gender makes it sexual? [/quote]

So again, all of the other women who had relationships with Platner and said he was a decent guy and was not at all abusive are all a bunch of lying scumbags to be ignored?[/quote]

Did you ignore the 65 women who knew Kavanaugh in high school at the time of the alleged assault and signed a letter of support for him?

Yeah right, I doubt Kavanaugh even had 65 female friends in high school to begin with, let alone them remembering who the hell he was back then.[/quote]

DP.  You're completely proving the PPs point.  You don't want to believe any support of Kavanaugh because you don't like him.  And yet, he has/had tons of female friends, both in high school, and as an adult.  RBG praised him for being the justice who hired the most female clerks.  But I'm sure you've totally dismissed those facts.[/quote]

Not at all.  It's not credible in the first place.  That "letter" was released within FOUR HOURS of Ford's allegations becoming public.  [b]You couldn't possibly reach out to 65 different women who you hadn't been in contact with for decades and get them to sign on to a letter that quickly. [/b]  Clearly there is something very fishy about that "letter" - if anything the letter would have had to have been organized months in advance of allegations, if it was even real at all.  That's not my opinion, either - numerous reporters and commentators believed the letter was fishy.  First of all, they weren't high school classmates, as Georgetown Prep where Kavanaugh attended was an all-boys school.  The women whose names appeared attended totally different schools or were friends of friends who didn't even know Kavanaugh well.  Additionally, numerous women who allegedly signed the letter were either unable to be reached for followup by reporters, or when contacted said thy felt misled, they signed before knowing any of the details, or that they never would have signed, knowing what they later found out about the allegations.

I could go on the class year insta page for [b]my high school an[/b]d get probably 150 signatures for something important within an hour. Have you ever used social media.

When did you graduate from HS? Who in the heck is keeping up with HS forty-years out? LOSERS![/quote]

DP.  My high school 40th reunion is this fall and there has been lots of communication via social media about it.  I can see why you wouldn't know about this phenomenon - no doubt the organizers of your reunions have been leaving you off the list, for good reason.  Wow.[/quote]
Maybe or maybe I don’t consider my glory days in the past as a seventeen year old kid. So much more has happened in 40 years, with more interesting things and people. But YDY. [/quote]

Oh, hon.  I absolutely don't consider my high school days my "glory days."  I haven't kept in touch with any of my high school classmates, except one, a lifelong best friend.  I will, however, be attending my 40th reunion, because why not?  It'll be fun to see people I haven't seen in [b]40 years[/b].

You sound singularly unpleasant, and again - it's no surprise no one's passing along details of your reunions.[/quote]
