you’re welcome - just wish I had more data to add - her working for a company that produces and abortifacient is really interesting, but having a social media trail of her being pro abortion and super committed to planned parenthood would help explain why she’d light a torch to her life over this.
Unless she’s a narcissist, in which case that explains it.
Latest I have read is that delaying hearing until this Thursday would prevent Kavanaugh (if confirmed) from participating in the Supreme Court’s Long Conference on October 1st.
The Long Conference is held to determine which cases will be heard in the next term.
Apparently, this charade is an attempt to block a Kavanaugh from participating in that effort.
It would be interesting to know what cases are up for review by the SC, and who has a vested interest in them.
Generally, bedroom doors that lock only do so from the *inside*. Yeah, I'd say this is all fabricated.
I also grew up in one of Seattle’s most “exclusive” neighborhoods, although I am a few years older that Ford. A lot of us made some pretty foolish decisions and got into situations we couldn’t handle on more than a few occasions.
I do remember a specific get-together when a young man I had never met before got kind of aggressive. I honestly could not tell you the date - but I do know it was summertime. I don’t think I ever learned his last name - friend of a friend type of thing. I remember whose house it was but I couldn’t tell you the address, although I do know the general neighborhood. I shoved him off of me and might have slapped his face...then I went and found the friend I had come with and told her that I wanted to leave NOW!
All that to say, we were young and dumb and I had a few drinks and I’m sure he did as well. For all I know, he might have grown up to become a happily married accountant who is horribly embarrassed by his behavior. I would never presume to judge someone based on one stupid act when they were 16-17 years old because I sure as heck wouldn’t want to be judged based on some of the stuff I did then!
Her story makes no sense - either she was traumatized, in which case she would have told people about it at the time and would remember every detail of the night (especially since she claims to have only had one beer)or something happened that didn’t really stick in her mind (as in my case) until she suddenly sees a chance to destroy a man with whom she disagrees politically and decides to paint him as the villain in a story she can’t even really remember. Can’t have it both ways!!
I somehow posted to you instead of the guy who said doors lock to keep others from entering from outside. I didn’t mean to make the remarks go to you. Sorry.
I am delighted to be reminded that the FR women are not wilting daisies. Our nation depends on that.
Yeah, why the heck don’t we hear anything about their parents?! She was a minor, supposedly, at an unsupervised party.
no, you can’t.
She wants us to feel awful for her supposed trauma, but her own actions show that if this kind of thing did actually occur, she wasn’t that traumatized by it.
You know an event like that might make you THANKFUL - you think of girls who are raped, murdered, etc - and think “thank God that wasn’t me - I learned my lesson at 15”.
No harm no foul. This issue is bringing President Trump’s people together. I think in the long run it may all just backfire Big League.
I read that Ford claims it happened in the summer. That is why she came to the party in a bathing suit. Is school in session in the summer. Kavanaugh may not have even been on campus during the summer.
They locked the door? I read that she said some guy came in and saved her. Through a locked door?
No, if it happened in the summer school should not have been in session. If Ford had an actual date that would be helpful!
Memories in high school are like when Matthew McConaughey goes to that old museum in the movie Sahara, and the guy tells him that they use big events to remember dates and not the other way around.
So she can’t remember the exact date, sure. But what events were before that? Or after it? Surely she rememebers one of those, and that could be used to calculate an actual date.
Ford said it happened during the summer, and that afterwards, she didn’t talk about it to anybody. Her friend said on social media that it was the talk of the school for weeks afterwards, before also scrubbing all comments about the “incident”.
Ford was an editor of her high school yearbook. She talks about (in the yearbook) about going to parties where people drank until they passed out, and that as seniors, many of the girls (I’m guessing including her) dated sophomores, as they were more innocent. Someone snapshotted this before it was scrubbed. It’s common in abuse cases for the abused to later act out in a similar manner to the abuser.
So I’m reasonably sure that Ford saw or experienced abuse at one or more drunken parties as a high school student. But her story, as told so far, gives no way to evaluate whether Kavanaugh was involved. Obviously, if she had reported this to police with so little detail, the police would have nothing to go on. Smells like a political hit job.
No she says Judge hopped on the bed and they all toppled to the floor. I think the Washington Post has the letter where she makes these claims - it’s shockingly short.
She said to go to the bathroom. How many fancy houses are there without a downstairs bathroom, at least with a sink and toilet?
Well, toppling to the floor wouldn’t stop a rape. I did read somewhere that she said someone came in and she was saved.
Another thing, a strong guy, even drunk, can overpower most any 15 year old girl, not to mention that she said that there were two of them.
she walked out of a locked room unhindered. After a few more moments, she walked out of the house unhindered.

Most interior door locks are so flimsy, they can be broken easily with one moderate blow at the edge of door delivered by an average older woman. They consist of a button on the knob that immobilizes turning the knob.
Ask any mother with irritating teenagers who lock themselves in to avoid parental confrontation.

And sliding in a credit card in will open the door-———easy!!!!

Well, it could be some of the congressmen/women had experience as lawyers
