They are fucking liars. They said Ford was attacked by someone else. It wasn't Kavanaugh. What about Mark Judge? Was she mistaken about him also? I have not heard one reporter ask that question. Why would she make up Mark Judge being in the room? The lack of critical thinking in this country is off the charts.

(8,209 posts)They are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to come up with a way to sound sympathetic to her without saying they shrug off attempted rape.

(23,946 posts)One with little investigation and no defence witnesses allowed...so of course the "stsndard" was not met!
Now they accuse us of not liking the rule of law. And the media is letting them get away with this mother of all Lies.

How awesome that would have been to put up against Kavs stupid ass calendar. Sigh.

(9,538 posts)that Kavenaugh was involved in exactly the type of group rape scenario that Ford described.
It's easy to rationalize away one victim, for some (though I believed her) but Avenatti's client was the most damning story in my view, and her high level security clearance meant she could lose her job if she lied under oath, yet she begged to testify and was refused.
She has said she spoke with police at the time. The police said it would take a month to get the files. Why weren't there demands to wait until those records were retrieved from storage?
Why isn't that all over the media? Most Republican women I've talked to never heard of her, and are shocked when I tell them about her story. This has been suppressed even by mainstream media outlets and certainly by the right-wing "news" stations.

(6,535 posts)as if they actually could give a shit; as if they wouldn't just turn a blind eye like they have for all of the orange buffoon's trespasses.
Sadly the few comments along those lines that I've seen have been from women (I generally tend to avoid social media, so it's a very small sample size, and further filtered through facebook's privacy settings, so basically limited to relatives of friends)--the common factor for all of them seems to be that they are strongly "Christian," so they must be being told what to think by their presumably all male church elders or whatever.
But it's all "what more do you people want, he's been exonerated by the FBI investigation...there's nothing there! It's just an unruly leftist mob causing trouble!" Kinda like fuckface talking about the Russian's stealing the election--"well I asked Putin about it and he said they didn't do it; he denied it very strongly, so it must be true."
So, brainwashing mostly.
