You seem to have no issue making judgements when all of the facts are not available, including making the judgement that they never will be available.HarryStotle:
Maybe, but you seem not to understand that “all the facts” are not, and will never be, available. We have to make judgments based on the facts in front of us.
Not really. As someone who the Senate of the United States has decided is a sexual predator, a gang rapist who organizer Rape Train parties, he could hardly go back. There will be an effort to impeach him if the Democrats win the House next month anyhow, and he’s already lost lucrative gigs like the Harvard Law job.
I thought you pointed out, (and then scrubbed…)1cthlctrth:
Now we’re talking reliable sources! Please.
Perhaps LifeSiteNews also makes judgements based upon the facts in front of them.
To stop a 5th conservative seat from being taken that would make conservative decisions being made, such as a reversal of Roe v Wade which is a primary concern for many people following these hearings closely.
The mentioning to the therapist with documentation is evidence to suggest she was indeed sexually assaulted or abused at minimum, however to say it was specifically Kavanaugh that did it does not seem so since she does not mention it to the therapist who would have documentation about it. She claims she did mention the name to her husband, but her husband could be working with her interest, so this could be a lie as well.
In fact this particular topic actually raises a lot of skepticism to her story. First there have been reports that, according to building permits and documentation, this particular remodel happened in 2008, which then brings the question “Why wait so long to bring up the issue in 2012?” That’s a lot of time to not explain why one would want a particular remodel.
Not all highschool boys that drank would go on raping sprees, I hope you know that. There have been numerous amounts of people that get drunk and not do anything sexual.
I would imagine this involves a beach? Which is not near the country club if I’m not mistaken. Furthermore this was more of a friend gathering than a party. Also considering most of the articles I find about “Beach Week” are particularly related in the context of Kavanaugh, I see that their accounts and testimonies would be about their own experience of Beach Week and have no way of actually validating whether or not these are true. Either way, if this were true and the event truly happened in Beach Week, bringing up the calendar would be against Kavanaugh’s interest and he would have no incentive bringing it forth as evidence.
You can easily be both, first of all. Second of all a generalization of football players (do you at least have statistical evidence?) do not amount to every single football players having a higher tendency to sexually assault a girl. It is hardly a description of the individual but rather an unrighteous judgement of the man based on his appearance of a football player (sound familiar?)
I fail to see how yearbook inside jokes about farting, drinking game, and some friend’s potty mouth are relevant at all.
So far, with the presumption of innocence, it is still rational to believe Kavanaugh.
If your 17 year old boy says “I like Charizard,” would you find it at all rational to turn to urban dictionary to find out what he means by “Charizard” or would you find it rational to ask him himself what he means by “Charizard” (I would link what UD has to say about “Charizard” but it is way too vulgar, I trust you have the capability to do that search if you want to see how ridiculous it is to turn to urban dictionary for meanings).
If there was a date and a location specified, Judge Kavanaugh’s calendar and other records could be consulted. Although in his entire calendar, his entire record, there is no mention at all of Rape Train parties or acquiring grain alcohol and quaalude for the events that are alleged.
I know you won’t want to hear this, but I suspect Kavanaugh was deliberately chosen by Trump in order to trap the Dems in their game of malicious takedown.
And we can expect subpoenas.
Actually, there was a “pre-party” that fits the description and the timing of the get-together in Ford’s allegation.HarryStotle:

If those are the definitions, they are not relevant. You’re right. But that’s not what they mean. “Boofing” is ingesting beer or drugs through your anus. It was featured in the recent movie “… Blockers.” Devil’s Triangle is a sexual threesome with two males and a female. “FFFF”–as everyone knows–is “Find’em, Feel’em, F…'em, Forget’em.” Whether or not he actually participated in these activities is irrelevant. The point is that by featuring them in his h.s. bio in his yearbook, he is showing that not only was he familiar with these terms (in high school!) but he to some degree approved of their message toward women. Can we “prove” that Kavanaugh was aware of these meanings? Of course not. If I define “apple” as a screwdriver, you can’t
“Presumption of innocence” is an American legal concept. A lot of very democratic and civilized countries (France, Italy…) don’t have it. And we don’t have it here. This is not a court of law, and Kavanaugh is not on trial. It’s a job interview. And I would not hire someone to work at Burger King who had been credibly accused of those charges, let alone the Supreme Court.
Really? Even though she came forward with the charges BEFORE Kavanaugh was the nominee? When he was simply a name on Trump’s list of possible nominees? Is Christine so naive and stupid that she thinks she can block ALL conservatives nominees? That’s absurd. She was only interested in blocking one nominee: Kavanaugh. We all know perfectly well that the Republicans are going to ram a ultra-conservative justice down our throats. Just not this one, please. That’s adding insult to injury.
No one said this incident took place during Beach Week–in fact, just the opposite. During Beach Week, Kavanaugh would have been 100+ miles away, at Ocean City MD.
Its the American way of doing things, people here are presumed innocent until actually PROVEN guilty.
Breathtaking. So that black kid who was shot by the policeman 16 times and killed was "presumed innocent until actually PROVEN guilty’? Are you kidding me? He was presumed guilty.
This is actually not the way a complaint should be handled.
I didn’t say it was. Read what I said, not what YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE SAID. I said “I expect him to do something about it.” Then I gave examples of what I personally would expect, not what actually happens, or what YOU THINK is “not the way a complaint should be handled.”
Sure it could be true or false. Anything COULD be true or false. That’s not the point. The point is that this sort of thing is much more likely if you’re dealing with “an aggressive and belligerent” drunk like Kavanaugh. This is a guy who was in a bar fight–where police were called–in his junior year at Yale. A fine young man indeed.
