y'all should we read the "why i didn't report" hashtag on twitter. there are thousands of reasons. a lot of times, the accuser will face harsher punishment than the accused. especially if the accused has more power. sound familiar? no? smh.

I'm not sure where you assume to know my position considering I've just posted twice in the thread, but ok.
I have zero doubt that privileged people can get away with more. It doesn't change what happened though and it doesn't guarantee it happened in this case. It either did or didn't happen. It will be based on hearsay (most likely) without evidence. Slippery slope that is.
so, a couple friends list kavanaugh as a nice guy. therefore, he didn't do what others with nothing to gain except death threats are accusing him of.
fixed.
and guarantee? maybe not. pretty likely? yup.
i have zero fear of ever being accused of something like this. the accusations are credible and supported by other people, also with nothing to gain.
and we already know kavanaugh is a liar. you still support him, tho. but i couldn't possibly know your position.
I would have personal knowledge in those cases, having seen the guys who OD'd stetchered off and the dealer snorting away his profits. But if my roommate had told me about these things, I would feel confident in relaying them if asked about the individuals in question. My roommate would not make up stuff like that.
Quite the crowd you ran with! Lets hope you don't run for office!
Kidding-BUT what if your roommate was drunk or received drugs from said dealer. You are basing your testimony on the thoughts and recounts of a druggie\alcoholic who saw something sometime, but wasn't sure when or where.
See how that works
FTR, I don't like this guy that much and there are likely far better candidates. But how this is playing out is a VERY dangerous game in all aspects. If he's guilty of this he shouldn't be appointed and will likely be shunned for life by his friends and family. Lot on the line.
Actually the two are quite consistent. Playing amateur psychoanalyst I would say he was shy and socially awkward and immature when it came to women. He came out of his shell in an ugly way when drunk. That sort of profile is entirely consistent with someone who is unable to form a meaningful relationship with women until a later point in his life.
roy moore was innocent too.
he's a republican after all.
Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on one's perspective), I did things later in life that are disqualifying.
But my roommate never did. He has lived an upright stable life (as far as I can tell). But he did witness certain things. His testimony would be unimpeachable.
Dr. Ford didn't just suddenly mention this now, either. She told a therapist about it in, what, 2012? her husband knew about it. she decided to come forward publicly once he was nominated, seeing that it's, you know, pretty huge.
to think this was simply concocted out of thin air is, i guess, exactly what i expect from certain people.
I think there's a lot of amateur psychoanalyzing going on and that's a lot of the problem I have with this. A lot of it is just based on the fact that Kavanaugh was a white guy with money. Lots of people have a picture in their mind of what that type of person is like and assuming that narrative his true. And I can't help but think that it's possible that some of the hearsay is based on that.
