Every liberal is a lying, violent totalitarian thug.
As far as I can see Ford is all in the "don't have" category, while Kavanaugh has a lot of exculpatory evidence.
This is basically a weak "he said, she said" case from over 30 years ago. It's a joke. I don't care about sophisticated theories about Memory. This is crude Stalinist politics. Nothing more.
Much of what passes as modern psychology science is pure unproven conjecture and nonsense.
But was she 8 before she was 7?
“carefully assessing her memories” = waiting for soros’ check to clear
Using the words of the latest accuser:
“After six days of carefully assessing my memories and consulting with my attorney, I feel confident enough of my recollections to say that I remember Nancy Pelosi at a drunken dormitory party, thrust her vagina in my face, and caused me to touch it without my consent as I pushed her away.”
You think it would take 6 days to recall that horror?
This is part of the left’s attempts to portray every white, conservative male as a closet sexual predator, with a sordid history of sexual abuse just waiting for some “victim” to recall the “events”. In one year we’ve had a very similar pattern of allegations against two judges, both based on decades old recollections of women who were allied with the Democrat attack machine. Roy Moore was a doddering old man and seemingly incapable of understanding the magnitude of the forces aligned against him. Let’s hope that Kavanaugh is much more mentally agile and prepared to eviscerate his accusers. He doesn’t just need to deny the accusations, he needs to spell it out for what it is - an 11th hour hit orchestrated by the collusion of Democrats, media, and two liberal activists. Take a lesson from Clarence Thomas and go on the attack.
Such belief in that accountability underlies the Constitution's requirement of the "Oath" of office--an accountability which Geo. Washington mentioned in his Farewell Address.
The Liberal/Progressive ideology is sad in that it provides no such idea of redemption--provided only that one human being's belief system disagrees with the Progressive view, leaving a hopeless and helpless, empty and hateful ideology controlling the minds and actions of a populace who seem to have lost their way.
I'm sure there are some nice ones... but I get your drift...

...he touched me, he touched me, and I'll never beeee the saaaaame...

Democrats seem to have just enough of the Mnemonic Acuity it takes to remember to lie, and often.
It would take 1,000 years to forget it.
This assumes the leftist hags are not straight lying, which is my belief.
fair translation.
The people who would lie about Kavanaugh or force Marine LePen into a mental institution are evil people bent on our destruction.
They are not crazy or sincerely mistaken, any more than Nazis were crazy or sincerely mistaken.
Democrats will do the same to us that the Nazis did to the Jews- at the moment they have enough power.
Republicans need to face up to reality.
I don't care about sophisticated theories about Memory.
. . . whereas I am alarmed at naive theories of memory which allow the cynical to practice on the credulity of the gullible.After my mother died 5 years after an Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis, I remarked to a medical professional that I thought I had learned a good bit about memory. He replied that I probably had an Associate Degree’s worth of understanding of the subject from my experience.
I observed in Mother’s behavior and understanding the fact that we all remember only part of our experience, and when we try to remember something we often call to mind facts related to the question at hand, and conclude the answer by interpolation from those facts that we do remember. It tends to work, a lot of the time, getting the information we want/need from our brains. But it is a thought process - it isn’t a simple table look-up.
The key point is that, having “refreshed” your memory with the fact that things happened in a certain sequence and you can pin things down by going by what you remember, you also tend to remember your conclusion which you inferred from what you did remember. Now your memory of a long-ago event is colored by a conclusion you have drawn recently. By this mechanism you actually alter a memory in the process of accessing it.
(In the case of Mother’s Alzheimer’s Disease, what happened was that her (accurate) memories became sparser as time went on but she continued to rely on interpolating between the memories that she did retain. And that meant that her “memory” - actually conclusions from her memory - became wildly inaccurate. Not just “I don’t know” but “remembered” - wildly inaccurately).The conclusion is that the possibility of generating of “very definite memories” inheres in a process such as psychotherapy. Note well - generating not actually recovering but generating - “very definite memories” which might bear no relation to reality at all.As you say, litigating a 35 year ago memory is a joke. But litigating a “recovered” “memory” is a travesty.
