right, you just don't believe women should come forward with their sexual *ASSAULT stories.

I don't believe someone who changes their story, names people who say the party didn't happen as witnesses, and can't identify the YEAR it happened, should be taken at their word.

No prosecutor in America can even get a search warrant based on the facts of this case.

This whole Kavanaugh thing really makes me think a lot of people believe in the former, which is pretty messed up tbh.


What is your opinion of the accusers? Because the exact same people who are shouting about damning an innocent man without evidence also tend to be quite comfortable to call every single one of these women a bunch of lying money-grubbing whores.


I don't know if they're lying or telling the truth. No one does because it's just "he said/she said" at this point.


Right but as someone else said, the standard for what a court needs to prove is not the same standard required to form a personal opinion about a guy.

If you want to convict someone of a crime you need evidence. You don't need evidence to make a cautionary opinion about whether a person is fit for an extremely important job when 3 unrelated people have made a damning statement about his character.

Consider how much evidence your employer would need to make sure the reference you got from a previous employer was true or not, and maybe you can appreciate why it doesn't actually matter.

In Ford's case, she doesn't know when it happened, every person she named said that the party in question didn't happen (including her best friend at the time), her story has changed numerous times over the past month, AND she gets a polygraph while on vacation (about something she supposedly didn't want to come forward about, and she doesn't remember who paid for it).

Are you really suggesting NONE of that raises any red flags to you?

And if you'd say that about Ford, you'd say that about any accusation. You're either listing reasons that are blatantly untrue ("witnesses say it didn't happen") or are irrelevant (not every detail is remembered).

Had her best friend said 'yeah, I remember that party, and Kavanaugh was there,' her story would have weight.

Except her best friend said she never went to this party. That means Ford's story has one hole. As a matter of fact, every person she claimed was there explicitly said they weren't, so either the party didn't happen, or she got the only details she offered about that night wrong - every one of them.

When I was sexually assaulted as a child, I took years to report it, so I'm not going there. I will admit that I don't remember every detail, but I know the year, the month, my age, and the people present in the house actually remember being there. I was 7, and can remember that. She was 'around' 15, but can't? Come the fuck on, bruh.

Pretending to be too logical for opinions is one of the weirdest and dumbest gimmicks I have seen yet.


Why would you have strong beliefs about things you can't prove? That's fucking idiotic.

Why do you not know what an opinion is? Opinions dont have to be based on strong beliefs or be unchanging.


It's like the same people who don't think they have biases or that they don't let it shape how they feel, or as if it's wrong for some reason


This is probably an unnecessary statement, but we all have our implicit biases. Simply acknowledging your biases does not remove their influence either.


While true, it does engender authenticity and trust as the listener will have a better idea of where the differences in opinion might originate from.


Agreed. I have nothing else of substance to contribute lol

I think I misread one of your posts in this topic and was assuming that you were doing what others users have been doing on making speculative statements on the veracity of what's going on. I looked back and realized you're simply pointing out problematic elements of the accusation.

So my bad on the false assertion/accusation.

Have a show investigation. Do something other than nothing. Wouldn't hurt to find more witnesses and get something. It literally can't hurt Kavanaugh, cause it is that old and hard to prove anything. If he didn't do it, then he should be fine with it.

Ford said they were there. Her supposed corroborating witnesses say they weren't there.

That's a contradiction. They contradict Ford's testimony. It calls Ford's allegation and testimony into question.

Prosecutor Reportedly Said She Wouldnt Charge Kavanaugh
http://dailycaller.com/2018/09/28/rachel-mitchell-not-prosecute-kavanaugh-blasey-ford/

The sex crimes prosecutor tasked with questioning Christine Blasey Ford during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh told Republican senators on Thursday that Fords claims and the lack of corroborative evidence were not strong enough to take the case to a courtroom.

Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell spoke at a late-night Thursday meeting with the Republican caucus, where she briefed all 51 GOP members, according to The Washington Post. Based on the evidence presented during the hearing, Mitchell reportedly said that she would not have prosecuted Kavanaugh. (RELATED: Kavanaugh Breaks Down While Talking About His Dad)

Mitchell spelled it out and was clear with senators that she could not take this anywhere near a courtroom, a source told Fox News. In fact, Mitchell reportedly said she would not even pursue a search warrant.

So, waste more time and money for literally no reason?

And how are we going to find 'more witnesses?'. Ford's the only person who remembers the party in question, and she can't decide how many people were there.

The burden of proof should and aught to always be on the accuser. A man should have to do nothing to prove his innocence except let the truth come out.

Sadly today it seems all you need to is say he sexually assaulted me and now the accused is faced with the burden of proof which is half ass backwards and takes us back a 1000 years to a time where many confessed to crimes, and who could blame them, confessions were better than torture.

But in an era where liberals have lost their minds in their anti Trump frenzy, Trump is guilty until proven more guilty. Kavanaugh will never be innocent in the eyes of liberals and it is a waste of time and effort to try and convince them

Ok, so let me clarify. It's not that it has to be correct or 100% accurate because of the trauma. It's that it's perfectly plausible for the witnesses to not remember because the night was uneventful to them, while at the same time it's plausible for dr. Ford to remember, because it was a traumatic event.

Now if you're trying to fish out and construct some gotcha zinger by disregarding what is known about memory and trauma, have fun.

I'm not trying to construct a gotcha. I'm trying to point out that the only details about the entire event that we have are names, and not one single other person can recall said party.

That goes beyond a less-than-perfectly-accurate memory - that suggests a zero-percent-accurate memory. It suggests that her memory, and therefore her entire accusation, carries less weight than of everyone else asked about it.

Free pass?

Your suggesting that her horrendous memory of the event in question shouldn't be used to question the veracity of her claims.

That makes zero sense. When the only thing she remembers of her alleged sexual assault other than the fact that she was assaulted is full names of people at the party (a party absolutely nobody remembers attending), there's no legitimate reason to believe that she could not possibly have gotten the identities of the people attending wrong.

It is not an uncommon occurrence to mistake an attacker's identity, especially if you don't know your attacker.

If you're going to admit her memory is faulty, you HAVE to accept the possibility that she's mistaken about her attacker being Kavanaugh. If you're open to the possibility that she's mistaken about Kavanaugh, then you can't simultaneously claim her memory of Kavanaugh being her attacker cannot be questioned.

No, I'm suggesting that remembering some things extremely clearly while having little memory about other details is consistent with experiencing a traumatic event. I acknowledge that the lack of details makes her case weaker, but implying that because she doesn't remember everything it's likely that she misremembers the things that are etched in her brain is, well, ignorant.

More ignorant than suggesting that she's literally the only person who remembers this party, and the names of the people who attended (despite never having met hardly anyone there), and NOTHING ELSE, and suggesting otherwise makes you a sexist incel?

There is no yes or no answer to the question if you're being objective.


Do you find her accusations credible? Why are you having such a hard time answering a simple question?


Because logic dictates you don't have an opinion either way on something you can't prove.


Sure you can. You can have an opinion based on anything. You don't know the facts without being able to prove it, but opinions are subjective and open to error.

Do you think she was lying under oath?


I'm not going to continue to go in circles with you. I myself don't hold opinions on things I can't imperically prove. It's the same logic as not having an opinion either way on the existence of a deity.

Yes you do, you just don't admit it. You naturally form an opinion on everything, you're just choosing to ignore it. And dude, you can't have an opinion on something that's proven... It isnt your opinion that 2+2=4. Opinions are subjective conclusions when the objective truth is unknown.

And again, you formed an opinion on Ford's accusations and testimony whether you wanted to or not. Contrary to what most people think, you don't actually choose what you believe or not. You can put it a front of what you want to believe, or what you want people to think you believe, but what you actually believe to be true is determined by how your brain processes the relevant information. And you have no say in that.

TL;DR Don't be scared to answer a simple question. You have an opinion on the subject whether you like it or not, don't be scared to tell us what you think.

Google "suppressed memories." It is by no means universal, but it is not uncommon for people who are raped or sexually assaulted to have those memories suppressed due to the mental and emotional trauma.

More ignorant than suggesting that she's literally the only person who remembers this party, and the names of the people who attended (despite never having met hardly anyone there), and NOTHING ELSE, and suggesting otherwise makes you a sexist incel?

She explained this herself, nothing extraordinary happened to anyone else at this party, so they wouldn't remember it 30 years later. She would.

I think it's more likely she lost parts of her memory the same way we all forget things that happened decades ago. The fact that she does accurately remember somethings proves that something happened to her to cause these details to be burned into her memory.

Well, regardless I don't understand how the absence of a memory backs up an accusation.

Believing her story is largely dependent on her recollection, of which there is little.

What is your opinion of the accusers? Because the exact same people who are shouting about damning an innocent man without evidence also tend to be quite comfortable to call every single one of these women a bunch of lying money-grubbing whores.

It doesn't imo. And she remembers the important parts, which is what you'd expect her to remember if she were being truthful.

Boofing and Devil's triangle were very obvious lies.

Whoa I'm just now seeing all the people that knew and said he was lying about that, as I had no idea and took his word for it. What a fucker.
