The Dems were so pissed when the 9th judge resigned, no doubt about it that it was some kind of stunt

And well anyways, for the time being I got to go but Ill be back in like a couple hours

Yeah so say it was a stunt, she sent her letter to Feinstein when Kavanaugh was just on a list of potential nominees. Do you think the dems had letters ready for every potential nominee that were all fabricated from different women? Genuine question, if that's the case.

And innocent until proven guilty usually refers to court cases, no one's trying to convict him of anything, so the threshold is definitely different. I'd say if there's like a reasonable (40% or higher idk) chance of a SC justice nominee doing something super fucked up then that's a no go. Not that we've gotten to 40% yet idk really.

I think waiting to release the accusation was a stunt 100%. But not the actual accusation.

And it's super annoying they did that, releasing that accusation right before the vote. Not cool.

Frankly, I have no clue. Although she brought up this accusation around what, 40 years after the actual incident occurred. Not to mention her own accusations contradict herself

For both reasons, you know I think the accusation wasn't real AND the accusation was a stunt

Not to mention her lawyers just so happened to all be liberal Democrats lol

I'm not aware of these contradictions, can you link them?

Unfortunately right now I cannot, but she brought up old highschool friends as witnesses and even they said they do not believe Kavanaugh committed this assault

and now I really got to go

we can continue later

sorry

And yea she talks about why she waited, the benefit from helping society (in her mind) finally outweighed the difficulty of talking about her (alleged) rape

Yeah for sure dude imma type out my reply, tag me if you wanna reply later

Just looked it up - all the witnesses claim they do not recall which is really specific, doesn't mean they deny it. One of them still maintains that she believes Ford actually, despite not recollecting the event, but another witness says they never saw Brett behave in that kind of way. Real mixed bag of witnesses, so not compelling evidence for sure. But doesn't sway me in the other direction, towards complete innocence.

Memories aren't very good. People could actually remember things differently than the objective reality. An experiment was done where people were shown a picture of a car accident, and after, many recalled broken glass, even though there was no broken glass in the picture.

It is very possible that she is telling the truth, even if it isn't completely true. Kavanaugh could definitely be who she BELIEVES had raped her because he is the one prominent face she recalls from the night and someone else is the one who actually did it.

True, she claims she's certain but like you say, memories aren't very good

also more relevant for off-topic, the show Maniac on netflix is off the chain. Would highly recommend to anyone

I also now see the irony of saying "relevant for off-topic"

I haven't looked into the topic much but I'd ask if she drank that night, how much she drank, how clearly she remembers any details, etc

I watched Maniac. I thought it was pretty good

There's a lot of details she's super fuzzy on

like, tons of details

I'm rewatching it rn, I like seeing all the familiar faces that I missed the first time through

it's a really small cast so I missed that people had multiple roles throughout

for some people

Being bipolar and having had one particularly bad manic episode, i found some of the stuff he said really relatable in Maniac.

Yeah I've heard it's a decent representation of a few mental disorders, which is really cool

Couldnt imagine how hard it must be to be paranoid schizophrenic

Me neither. Very grateful for the mild issues I have to deal with mentally, things could be so much worse.

I feel like I identify more as a libcucc than a "Obama Lovin' Libtard" can I get that tag instead

Remember kids: If a "bad man" touches you, don't report it 40 years later until the guy is running for a government position against the Democrats

Ugh. Just finished my simple yet tedious art project.

@wahx you seen Legion?

Yeah man I loved it @Crasseus I’m a sucker for those kinds of shows

I cannot wait until season 3

Pro tip kids: If a bad man touches you, report it in a timely manner with a believable story and legitimate intentions 👌

I keep getting persecuted for my republican ideas
