I believe that was the conjecture put together by Ed Whelan on Twitter then removed with apologies, showing the houses, the house much like where this incident is supposed to have occurred and concluding that anoher lookalike was the culprit. This has been withdrawn, although not debunked.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Dr. Ford accepts the Committee's request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct next week.


This could mean she does not testify directly,but provides first hand knowledge.

Is anyone else reading it this way.

How many witnesses can put Kavanagh and Ford in the same room? At any time?

15 year olds and 17 year olds don’t typically travel in the same circles.

Also, she was 15. Unless she walked to this party, someone drove her. There have to be more witnesses out there. I don’t doubt she was assaulted. I suspect the reason she can’t fill in all the missing pieces is that she’s spent years convincing herself it was Kavanaugh. That way, she’s not just a “survivor”, but a survivor of a federal judge. That’s some solid victimhood.

Her lack of specificity, also makes it impossible for Kavanagh to provide an alibi. Very convenient.

She said she couldn't remember how she got there.

She couldn't remember which house it was.

She couldn't remember how she got home.

She thinks it was 1982.

A nice "construct" so little can be checked out.

I am curious as to why you think she was sexually assaulted. Many people make up lies to harm other people or for political gain,or avoid jail etc,etc.

All she has provided is a vague account with no details that can be verified.

Because Grassley is no longer in charge. Schumer is.


Yes, he basically admitted that on Twitter.

She told her therapist. As I recall, she didn’t say who did it. I find it easier to believe she was assaulted (perhaps while drunk?) and convinced herself (with the help of others) that it was Kavanagh, if for no other reason than they were in the same circles.

I also suspect she’s a leftist who thinks it’s up to her to save the Supreme Court. Lots of justification in her mind to belive it was him.

That's a lot of high power well connected lawyers, who are quitting their day jobs, for someone that supposedly just wants to tell the committee her story based on the letter she gave to Feinstein. I also remember MSM last week parroting you don't need a lawyer if you are telling the truth. Roll Eyes

I hope Grassley holds firm to terms including no later than Wednesday but I am starting to lose some faith in that.

If Repub's want to forfeit their majorities in the house and senate, failing to get Kavanaugh confirmed should go a long way toward that outcome. Talk about trying to rip defeat from the jaws of victory.

Not saying its the best analogy, but when I coached baseball I was know for always keeping our foot on the throttle and forcing the action. Controlling the tempo and flow of the game usually resulted in the tournament trophy going home in my truck, rather than me having to try and explain to angry parents why the trophy was headed home with someone else. Play to win or get off the damn field.

Probably just a coincidence,

Christine Ford went into marriage counseling in 2012 and told about the alleged sexual attack. Apparently at the time of counseling, she did not mention Kavanaugh's name.

In a March 2012 article, the last line was

"If a Republican, any Republican, wins in November, his most likely first nominee to the Supreme Court will be Brett Kavanaugh"


https://www.newyorker.com/maga.../03/26/holding-court

"Brett M. Kavanaugh is a judge who sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which is often described as the second most important court in the country."

Some of us warned last December what the consequences of Ray Moore smear in Alabama causing him to lose the senate seat could be and yet here we are. Another known yes vote at this time could be absolutely crucial. The democrats knew very well that a SCOTUS justice opening could happen before the mid terms and had been preparing for it at that time and committed to win by any means necessary.

A win in that game is determined by play on the field under definite rules, and tactics conceived with those rules and your players capabilities in mind.

Here the rules are not fixed to the same degree, not even to the degree that they would be in court, and the outcome will be determined by 100 scorers not all of whom have the same attitude, fears, or incentives, or susceptibility to public pressures. Think of it as the winner being chosen by the fans in the ballpark or like the old Roman gladiators where 100 Emperors give thumbs or down.

People lie to therapists often. I'm not sure that this crazy woman would be believable if she told me it was currently raining outside, to which it is. I would still go to the window and look outside if she told me it was.

She has forfeited her credibility. She is a pawn of the left, or a willing accomplice, and I am 50/50 on which. Based upon the lies, drama, more lies, and general fuckery that this event has generated, I wouldn't believe anything she had to say if I were on the jury and armed with all of the facts that she is being manipulated, or is complicit, as a democratic operative.

Furthermore, she is hurting future sexual assault victims because the left is loosing their minds over this to the extent of saying "Men are all guilty, women are all believable" when the numbers on reported sexual assault, versus the numbers of those cases that are unfounded, or downright lies, do not lie. The problem in this country is that we rarely prosecute the ones who claim false allegations of sexual assault when it was a clear lie with falsely reporting because society frowns upon it because "it might keep real victims from coming forward". Just like we rarely prosecute the ones that falsely obtain a protective order as a means of manipulation when the narrative is a lie. That needs to stop, quick fast and in a hurry.
