Second woman comes forward with Kavanaugh

“She said she might be harmed, not raped” was what someone said and what I responded to. What she described seemed like an attempt to have sex with her without her consent.

She didn't describe that at all. Every man who tries to touch a woman is trying to rape her?
 
I am retired military, worked with lots of Vets, yours is a pipe dream. Unlike the current GOP, many folks no better than to vote for a party lead by a man with zero integrity. As a gay white man, I know there is no place in the GOP for me and my peeps.

As an "ex-military gay white man" the Democratic Party both hates you and loves you all at the same time. My gay kid in the military knows it is the GOP that backs up the military.

How nice for him. It took a Dem Pres to put an end to lawful discrimination in the military. I would likw to shake Obamas hand and thank him for allowing me to serve openly my last year in the Air Force. Even got to take my partner to the Squadron Xmas party.
 
The Democratic Party keep doing the same stupid play. They believe can call all men rapists to get women's votes, call all Christians insane for believing in prayer to get atheists votes, call all white people racists to get Latino votes and call all police racist murderers to get black votes, call our military mass murderers to get anti-military people's vote - not grasping the people they are attacking will respond by voting Republican.

All men, all white people, all Christians, all police, and everyone in the military should vote straight Republican in every election for every office as a matter of self defense from the Democratic Party.

Once your child leaves the military he will find out it is the GOP who consistently refuses to properly fund vital and necessary programs that help the vets.
 
I asked a question. I never said you were implying anything. You're the only one here talking about implying. That you read sarcasm into the question is your mental issue, which also apparently invents whole conversations.

Sorry but yeah, when you can't read a poster's name that is indeed a reading comprehension problem.


You certainly didn't care when you were declaring TurtleDude had 'lost all credibility' based of your entirely fabricated conversation you placed into his mouth.


You've lost all credibility.

And as to pwning, no one pwned you but yourself.


You should just stop. He apologized, which, like he pointed out, is very rare here. It really makes you look bad to keep on about it. Move on.
 
From the New Yorker article:

The New Yorker was not able to confirm with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party, but at least one person — who declined to be named — said he was told about the incident and “one hundred percent sure” it involved the judge.

“I’ve known this all along,” the classmate said. “It’s been on my mind all these years when his name came up. It was a big deal.”

Friends of both Kavanaugh and Ramirez, however, disputed the allegations. — three of whom spoke to the New Yorker on the record. The others remained anonymous.

We can say with confidence that if the incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have seen or heard about it — and we did not,” the group said in a joint statement. “The behavior she describes would be completely out of character for Brett. In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale, and she never described this incident until Brett’s Supreme Court nomination was pending.”One former friend, who was married to a male classmate that allegedly took part in the aforementioned drinking game, said she and Ramirez were “best friends” for years and she never heard about the incident.

“We shared intimate details of our lives,” the pal said. “And I was never told this story by her, or by anyone else. It never came up. I didn’t see it; I never heard of it happening.”



Her own CLASSMATES and BEST FRIEND deny the bullcrap.
 
What was the vote?

Irrelevant, hearings and votes aren't a requirement.

When was the first public hearing ??

When did the first nominee attend a public hearing ??

When was the first televised hearing ??
 
Still early, a second woman comes forward about Kavanaugh. Comes from the New Yorker.

He was at a party in college and was drunk when he exposed himself and demanded for her to touch his penis. Gets popcorn!!!!!

If at a party I have to assume there were witnesses, if not it is just more of the same old BS.
 
And Mr Avenatti has just announced a third accuser has come forward! I'll just have a packet of crisps, can't stand popcorn.
 
I think the idea that the media tries to peddle, that being that Anita Hill was an "effective" witness twenty odd years ago is laughable. She got backed into or allowed herself to be backed into the world of the Senate Hearing room. She got herself caught up in a world of double entendre, decorum, innuendo and the gentility expected of women.

Hill should have:
- thrown the whole standard tired process on its ear, first by NOT allowing her parents to the Hearing Room. She needed to say things that would have been uncomfortable for her parents to hear. Its the Supreme Court appointment. If you are concerned about what your parents hear, get them outta' there! Steel yourself for having to be very specific about the acts of Sexual Abuse or Sexual Harassment as the case may be.
- she should have used the words Thomas used in his sexual harassment of her. Never mind this double entendre, innuendo and decorum BS. Say the words. If it were a trial, Hill would have been forced to say the words. Go look at recordings of that hearing. She never said the words! I don't care how uncomfortable those words made her feel as a woman and I surely would not have given a rats behind if the Senators left that hearing ashen faced. SAY THE WORDS! Had she done so, those Senators would have been thrown back on their heels and would NEVER have been able to attack Hill to any degree that would have been effective.

My advice to Ford is the same I would have had for Hill. Tell them what happened to you exactly. Never mind this double entendre, decorum and gentility horse dung. Say the words. If the Senators don't like it .....TOO BAD!!! Don't support horses butt ends Senator and you won't be pushed into places you don't want to go.

I agree. One accusation without evidence can be dismissed but not several.

I guess he's going to pay for those frat boy days. His kids will be like, "Dad, did you really do that in college?"

Are you joking?
 
Yes, there is doubt about that. Professor Ford mentioned it to a therapist 6 years ago, when nobody knew Kavanaugh would one day be nominated to the SCOTUS, and nobody even knew that Trump would be president.

Why do you guys insist in ignoring this point???

Isn't it true that she didn't name Kavanaugh at that time?
 
If this succeeds, that means that the media gets to pick our leaders.
Is there some reason to think they would do a terrible job? Isn't that largely the reason we have a free press because we need them to inform us and ensure we hear the whole truth to inform our beliefs as best as possible so that we can make good choices?

If you ever find yourself trusting the word of politicians over the word of the free press as a whole then there is something wrong with your mind. Trump can be objectively demonstrated to be the single most dishonest politician in at least modern American History, probably all of American History. If you're trusting his word over the word of the vast majority of reporters in the country then you need your head examined.
 
No wonder they tried to rush his confirmation.

This is gonna be interesting.

Of course the sick right will just say that "boys will be boys"

The right will need more than a he said she said as the proof, it’s still innocent till proven guilty in America right?

She claims he pinned her down and put his hand over her mouth. That’s more than a touch.

None of that happened. That was the problem.
 
Not at all. Most victims would rather not think about the crime committed against them, let alone follow the guy. But now that he is in their face everywhere they look, about to become SCOTUS, perhaps they feel more compelled to speak up... Really? A stretch?

Guilty until proven innocent is not the way our society works.
 
Actually I think this is looking more like the transformation we went through from John Kennedy to Gary Hart. John Kennedy could never have survived in a Gary Hart world. As I had expressed in other threads, having lived through the whole Prep School thing myself and recognizing that the Jesuit Prep Schools were all drunken stuporvilles that acted as feeder schools that then passed their students on to Jesuit drunken stuporville colleges thus continuing the shell of secrecy and protection from actual authority these kids iived under I often wondered myself "are we really supposed to be getting away with this".

I am more inclined to think the whole "thing" of the Prep school environment and the kind of "public servant" it has produced since at least the mid-1970's is about to undergo the John Kennedy/Gary Hart experience.

Sort of interesting as if it happens it will be happening as the wave of complaints about Catholic priests like Father Pull-Down-Your-Pants crests over us as well.

The societal environment has changed for the better that we no longer ignore sexual assault. However, the pendulum has seemed to swing so far that only an accusation is enough to ruin a persons life. That part is not good.

I know that Trump doesn't back me anymore than many of those in the Democratic Party, especially not being in the military. Other GOP members do care about and back the military, just as many of the Dem Party do.
 
Isn't it true that she didn't name Kavanaugh at that time?

Actually, her husband claims she did, it simply is not in the therapist's notes that she named anyone.

I'm still trying to figure out if there is anywhere to find these therapist's notes so we can see how they are laid out, written. How much detail went into them at all.
