Why did she wait til now to report the case?
She had more than 2 decades to report it. Reporting it now, if any time, would make her more a target for hostility from the public. Right now is probably the worst time to report it. --- psn- trucano ... Copied to Clipboard!

because she wanted to put an unpleasant & probably traumatic sexual encounter behind her and get on with her life, and was probably able to do so with some degree of success until the guy who assaulted her became a nominee for the supreme court and a household name that she would have to endure until either she or kavanaugh died?

There are cases where we KNOW something happened where victims waited very long periods of time before saying anything. Using that alone as a reason to disbelieve is not a good one.

That's not logic, and this is coming from someone who thinks he didn't do it. Victims often wait for years before ever mentioning it, often out of a misguided sense of shame. There are lots of reasons to believe that her memory might not be right, but using the "she waited" argument isn't one of them.

Right, but my point was that would likely still have been back in July when he was nominated and she first wrote the letter. It wasn't her choice to be forced into the public eye the week before the vote, so claiming she's not being honest because of the timing is just wrong. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Why did she wait til now to report the case? If you want a serious answer. She sent a private, confidential letter to Diane Feinstein and her team, requesting she NOT share the letter with anyone, or identify her. Someone leaked the letter anyway because they're an asshole. Other people went after Ford as a result. Not the other way around. Ford was forcibly put into this position. She didn't publicly accuse Kavanaugh by her own choice. Hope that clears things up. But I know it won't. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ... Copied to Clipboard!

In itself, it is not a reason to inherently disbelieve, but it does make her less credible in that there is little way of confirming anything at all. Personally, I don't believe her at all. She feels fake, and her inability to remember anything important is really telling. It could just be she was that traumatized about it, but if she claims that she can never forget the event itself, the little details should honestly be ingrained into her brain.

I do believe she is lying, but it doesn't necessary mean she is actually being untruthful. That's just my opinion from having watched her fake-sounding testimony.

No, or at least not now. That was something floating around within the first few hours of Avenatti's twitter going private that was being passed around by a lot of verified people on twitter and the chan post just happened to line up with the timing, so at the time I thought there was a possibility of that being true. In the post where I linked to that picture I unfortunately didn't get a chance to talk about the other people discussing it before being warned (which is the most fair warning of all time. I should have known better before linking to an image from 4chan). It was pretty clear once he provided an actual name that the 4chan thing was bogus. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The only thing she has is a description of what she claims to be the incident and that she has told other people about this supposed incident. Without a single person to corroborate the time, date, or place, she only has her word. Your response is basically "well, someone wouldn't lie about such a serious crime." That is not a defense. That is an appeal to emotion. I don't think Kavanaugh is a saint. Even if he didn't commit this crime, it is entirely possible he has committed other crimes.

i don't think she's lying, but i think there were a lot of unfortunate events that have happened that have effectively turned her into a political chess piece.
as far as the assault itself, that's a lot of he said/she said that should have been handled a long time ago. i don't think it's right for anyone to speculate on the exact events at this point, but the lesson to take from this is that when women are assaulted, we NEED to handle it better immediately. women shouldn't be afraid of their lives being ruined from it, which, no matter what the truth is, is happening to Ford. And has happened her entire life because she kept this secret bottled up that she feared instead of being able to confront it. --- https://imgur.com/xHbbYI6 http://cdn1.sbnation.com/assets/3386905/G2-Ortiz-Slam.gif Anything too hard in life is not worth doing. -John McGuirk ...
