"He got mad at us when we tried to destroy him! He's unfit for office!" It's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in my life. You're either completely and willfully full of **** or you're as dumb as a box of rocks.
What is insane is your devolvement to personal attacks where none are necessary.

Thank you for not knowing any of my posting history and assigning to me the label of a crazed left-winger which is baseless and untrue.

Let me enlighten you.

Is the accuser saying she has had lifelong PTSD and off and on therapy over the years because of this one incident?

35 years - really?

To me this is ridiculous on its face. Long past time for her buck up and get over it.

I think she's telling the truth. That said, I can't get past the fact this was a 36 year old event and these were immature, sex-on-the mind 17 y/o boys acting stupid. Assuming Kavanaugh does not have a pattern of this behavior in his adult and professional life, the assault 36 years ago isn't relevant today.

So, again - which am I?

I guess she accused the wrong person. And 26 years too early.

This is the hill the GOP wants to die on? Feel free. But its amazing me that people are thinking this idiocy is a good idea. This is nuts.
I read it more as a trust but verify thing because frankly, false accusations do happen but some people genuinely believe the woman should always be believe no matter what.

They can investigate whatever they want. But an investigation doesn't justify suspending someone's rights.

When you can't claim racism, claim sexism. What's next for the Lefty-Loonies (Perhaps a transgender that cant make up his/her/it's(?) mind -- if he/she/it(?) has one to make up?)

A lot of rape cases if there was even sex involved between the supposed victim and perpetrator don't always involve force, threats and violence. It's not like anyone was disfigured, maimed or killed. There are a lot worse things in the world that don't get much focus.

The only people who were stupid enough to give her money deserve to lose it so it's a non-issue.

Yes, I'd agree. And I'm pretty sure my experience is common place.

Despite what some here like to think, women in my experience don't blindly support someone because of their genitals. They use their brains.

Remember all those questions from Rachel Mitchell about her knowledge of polygraph tests?
Blasey-Ford answered that nobody had ever given her tips, that she had not knowledge of polygraph tests and that she had NEVER discussed anything about polygraph tests. Ooops
