So, correct me if I’m wrong: it sounds to me that the first real recollection that Dr Ford had about the alleged sexual abuse was when she was undergoing marital counseling ... in 2012. And, my understanding is that the notes from those sessions don’t mention Judge Kavanaugh.
I know that therapists can “help” patients remember things from the past - sometimes when they didn’t even happen. Is it possible that Dr Ford, with the help of “therapy”, really believes that something happened to her when it really didn’t? Maybe she is a victim, but Judge Kavanaugh is not the perpetrator????
And here I thought the front door was the issue.........
Is this the death of the Democratic party?
I will probably be flamed for this honest assessment.
She went upstairs to use the bathroom, presumably because two-story homes don’t have downstairs bathrooms.
Either that or she was drunk and flirting/fooling around with the boys when she realized she had allowed things to progress too far and started to scream. The boy she was petting with covered her mouth until she shut up. Perhaps the boy was Kavanaugh.
Fast-forward a few decades and she sees an opportunity to resist Trump, so she destroys Kavanaugh’s reputation with a malicious twisting of the facts.
“It seems to me quite relevant as to when her “recall” actually began.”
So true, especially considering he was prominent in the Starr investigation of Clinton in’98 and again when appointed by GW in 2003, to state nothing of the incredible coincidence of his making the news as a possible SCOTUS pick by Romney in 2012.
I’ve been scrolling for an FR summary of the testimony today, myself only hearing about 10 minutes of Ford and about 20 or so of Kavanaugh. You’re telling me that she wasn’t even questioned on WHEN she recalled that it was Kavanaugh and that the so-called prosecutor let the “100% sure” statement stand unchallenged?
I think Ford was looking for a twofer. Something happened to her that summer. I honestly do not believe she was sober and some boys may have tried to jostle her and she figured may as well throw Kavanaugh into the mix because he might have been the one and put a 100% certainty label on it so he does not get confirmed and overturns Roe V Wade. She is a quasi victim looking for another victim to burn in the process. I do not feel sorry for her
Of course that is possible. Retrieved memories are often times BS.
Methinks you win the golden cigar for getting it right.
Another scenario that makes Ford extremely credible, IMHO:
The entire party scenario occurred exactly, to a T, as she regaled us with. She knew and knows every detail. When asked questions of details she could not have rehearsed, she could easily answer and even fill in extra credible detail.
Only problem though: it was with a different set of people. Her task of the past 2 months was to practice and practice some more replacing her verbal story’s participants with Kav/PT/Judge.
Keep in mind her main motive as a ‘Rat activist and pussy marcher: anti-Trump, pro-abortion.
I can’t believe what I am reading on this thread. Freepers willing to give that lying skank a pass.
I graduated in 1979, and there was a guy who went on to become a famous musician in the class that graduated in 1981. By our 30th reunion, just about everyone remembered going to backyard parties where he played during high school.
Not that they're lying, but I find it hard to believe that so many people saw him. If you look back at the yearbooks, he wasn't really all that popular.
You say Ford is believable. How can a woman sob and cry for 8 minutes straight without sniffling or shedding tears as Ford did today? Why was she using a little girl voice? Why was she acting so timidly?
I believe this whole thing was a well-orchestrated hoax that was hatched in 2012. It wasn't necessary then as Obama won the election. They let it go in Gorsuch's case because he was replacing Scalia. They trot her out now because swing vote Kennedy is being replaced and abortion, guns and Obamacare are back on the table.
Yes.
When recalling memories the brain can add / detract things that didn’t/did happen. Its actually very easy to cause someone to do that.
Every time a memory is accessed it can occur.
Maybe it was a back door issue.
I had similar thoughts.
I should add that this should be a lesson to all potential or current presidents: don’t release the names of potential SC nominees until the absolute last minute and never reuse nominees. This will give the rats little time to set up such elaborate hoaxes as they did with Ford.
Having had people in my family go to therapy and suddenly remember evil things that never happened, I’m thinking demonic involvement. It can be that ugly. Division is the goal.
Easy way to see what liberals and feminists want.
They want womens heresay, anytime they say it, taken as irrefutable evidence.
They do not want men’s heresay, or any evidence they have, taken as irrefutable evidence.
This is why you cannot ever be for believing a woman just because she says something. Police stats across the country show rape/assault cases are THE MOST LIED ABOUT filings they deal with. Both womens group workers and divorce lawyers counsel women to lie about domestic violence and child abuse to get a better position in custody division and treatment in court.
Is it possible that Dr Ford, with the help of “therapy”, really believes that something happened to her when it really didn’t?
*****************************************
If the rumors are true, she has had multiple sexual partners. I’m sure a lot worse things were done to her, because she looks used and abused.
I find it impossible to believe that anyone is still traumatized 36 years later, because a couple of high school boys jumped on her.
We are talking about a woman that grew up in the 80’s.
In the 80’s, it was not that uncommon to get your butt grabbed just walking down the street, or at work, and certainly in a bar.
It sure wasn’t right, but millions of women didn’t end up in therapy over it either.
Not even a high-functioning one as one might feel obliged to say about a person who has a Ph.D and is faculty at... a certain school. (Insert an "a" between the first two letters and what do you get...)
Still, in a different class from the brownshirt thugs like Antifa. The Democrat machine found her and told her they had an opportunity for her... DiFi timed it strategically and she went straight to the media.
Ford is the Stooge, DiFi is the Capo.
Let them be cellmates.
Oh yeah... Rot in stinking infernal hell, Dianne Feinstein, no matter how it turns out, you scheming crooked b!+c#. I p**s on your name.
Candace Owens on Dobbs tonight was amazing! She would have none of the ridiculous memes the newly sensitive GOPs have been using like, “I believe something happened to Ford, but it wasn’t Kavanaugh.” “She was credible.”
Candace came out and loudly said that Ford was lying. She said she didn’t believe a word of Ford’s testimony. Ford proudly wears her pussy hat. Ford hates Trump. She’s in the “by any means necessary” group. Candace was saying what I was thinking — and probably many others, too.
