    Fine, if they're designed to be disruptive... don't blame the office for calling security and kicking you out...

    That's not exactly what we call, "asking nicely."

    You're trying to annoy someone into talking by suggesting they don't care about women's rights... Not exactly a conversation starter...

    Your simple explanation still doesn't explain how Kavanaugh isn't the guy. Why did she pick him in 2012 if he wasn't the guy? Why did she pick Mark Judge? Are we to believe that it's a coincidence that her two choices just happened to be good friends back then?

    That he doesn't care about women's rights?

    He wants to take away women's access to birth control? He hand-picked Brett Kavanaugh to be his judicial puppet and overturn Roe v. Wade...

    That's the epitome of irrational behavior and thought...

    She picked Kavanaugh based on her own testimony and her husband's...

    Not exactly reliable, unbiased testimonies...

    Assumed he was talking about Lewinski. I actually don't know a lot about Bill Clinton, and I trust you at your word.

    If I'm Dr. Blasey, this is what I do:
    1. I accept Wednesday if it's feasible.
    2. I accept speaking first, but demand that I have the chance to offer rebuttal testimony if I want.
    3. No outside counsel. The Senators have to ask the questions.

    How the heck is this a credible accusation? What details have been presented to make this credible? Is it credible under the assumption that no woman would lie about sexual assault? There are several recent cases that beg to differ with that assumption. I wouldn’t want to work for you if all it took was an unverifiable accusation for you to fire me.

    She was in marital counseling with her husband, which means something was going on in their relationship that they needed to talk with a therapist about. I have never heard of a couple in a healthy, happy marriage going to a therapist. So there were issues going on in her life that led up to this revelation 6 years ago.

    That's not an answer. You said her memory was unreliable in 2012. I asked you why she chose Kavanaugh and Judge if they weren't the ones who did it.

    Not at all. I question your understanding of the word irrational.

    Corroboration of her story going back to 2012. That's what makes it credible.

    It doesn't just describe Kavanaugh to a T, it describes a lot of Georgetown Prep graduates to a T, like Neil Gorsuch for example.

    The only record of her saying she chose Kavanaugh and Judge in 2012.... is verbal testimony in 2018 from her husband and herself (EDIT: and friends) that she did so in 2012....

    In other words, no evidence suggests she mentioned Kavanaugh in 2012...

    Of course it's not about asking nicely. It's a protest.

    Of course there can be mental illness from various conditions.

    Knowing this, how about taking a swipe at which conditions apply to each of those protesters that were blanketly labelled as mentally ill. Explain what each observation is and what can be reliably inferred from those observations. I'm sure philo would be happy to give you a hand.

    As you take that swipe, I'll remind the viewing audience, that most Trump supporters don't want to hear anything from the legions of psychologists who believe Trump has dementia and possibly other mental illness, even though we have many many thousands of speeches, interviews and tweets for them to make their judgments from.

    Yet one 30 second clip of people singing protest songs qualifies some of y'all to comment that the protesters are all mentally ill and dangerous.

    SMDH.

    And again, those claims would not have been made if the protesters were on the other side of the abortion issue.

    She didn't accuse Gorsuch. She didn't tell her husband that it was Gorsuch. Her description in 2012 just happened to describe Kavanaugh perfectly. She just happened to tell her husband in 2012 that it was Kavanaugh. Feel free to offer the conspiracy theories.

    If the fact that Kavanugh was a partier who drank a lot is used as a reason that her story is believable, why isn’t the fact that she was a partier who drank a lot be used as a reason that she could be mistaken about her story.

    That's a hard sell man. I know for a fact that people suppress particularly bad memories. I know for a fact that talking about it can help uncover them. You're putting words in my mouth.

    People in an office that they don't work, disrupting a work environment that isn't there's... by means of protest relying on a false premise that isn't backed by evidence...

    Anti-abortion =/= anti-women or anti-women's rights...

    Maybe if they wore tri-corner hats it would be a proper protest? :D
