    And putting drugs in the punch. That is a pretty big point that she explicitly says in the statement.

    I have to disagree here. If an accuser makes an accusation without any evidence of the actual event happening, why is it up to the alleged perpetrator to have to provide evidence that something didn't happen when none has been provided that it did happen?

    If I wanted to accuse you of stealing my wallet 20 years ago when we were in a bar together drinking, shouldn't I have to offer evidence that my wallet was stolen before you would have to prove that you didn't do it?

    When a name of a person is provided that will come forward and provide first hand accounts, let me know. It's easy to claim a lot of things when no one is going to find out who is claiming it.

    There go the goal-posts again. Always moving. Two women provided firsthand accounts. You already blew them off. Mark Judge provided a firsthand account with his book. You blew him. His ex-GF provided exactly what Judge told her. You blew that off. The goal-posts will just keep moving.

    I say Trump rescinds the SCOTUS nomination and the Pope offers him a spot as a Bishop instead.

    Too soon?

    You mean in addition to the two prior accusers? And the roommate describing him as a frequent belligerent drunk who he thought was capable of doing what Ford accused him of.

    Kavanaugh's nomination is all but done with this news, IMO.

    There probably are other women if this latest story is accurate, but most women don't want to have their history of being sexually assaulted made into a national news item.

    Missed the “and/or”? One of them’s a big deal, the other is what everyone at a party assumes punch to have in it.

    Ludes were quite popular in the 80's. So I hear. One of my roomates' best bud's dad was a pharmacist who had access, and you could always tell when Larry was partaking. 1/2 of one put me out for about 12 hours, so that was my one and only experience with the stumble biscuits. I've heard stories, though.

    It will only take one provided that she has some type of credible evidence to back up her accusation.

    Not, just that she told someone about it 30 years after it happened. That only establishes that she said something 30 years after it happened rather than 36.
    Still hasn't established anything that come close to corroborating that the event actually happened at this unknown location, on an unknown date, at an unknown time.

    I do not believe McConnell let's his senators behave this way if they have any inkling these are legit allegations. Recall he basically conceded Alabama to Doug Jones by backing Moore's accusers. GOP doubling down on Kavanaugh tells me they don't believe the allegations are credible at all. Not saying they are right, but I think at this point, they're not going to play cover up just to push Kavanaugh in.

    I've been saying the same thing for 146 pages, provide a eye witness who can back up the women's account and can definitively state that Kavanaugh was there during the time when the allegations happened. So far, no accuser can do that. Still have not met the lowest standard of evidence.

    It seems your new approach is to try and slim Kavanaugh by saying that he was friends with Judge, so if Judge did something, Kavanaugh must have as well. If you go back in this thread, you'll see that is exactly what I said Democrats would try to do and why Dr. Ford's team wanted Judge to testify.

    I am waiting to see if the new accuser can provide an eye witness that can back up her claim.

    Everybody assumes alcohol.

    Not sure how many would assume grain alcohol or know how quickly it will knock you down. And out.

    I read that as sometimes they put drugs in the punch, sometimes they put alcohol in it, and other times they may have put both in the punch.

    And if there already was alcohol in the punch (which is probable), putting additional grain alcohol in it in addition isn't exactly good behavior either.

    Republican War on Women. How’s it going?

    Other than making fun of Pubs, I’m not sure how to react to the flurry this morning. Not a lot of detail just claims.

    BTW - Have we had confirmation that Dr. Ford will definitely testify tomorrow?

    Seem like if you wanted to postpone a hearing, dropping a story like this the day before it was suppose to take place is a good way to try and make that happen.
