Who needs facts? All we need is accusers, right?

Perhaps. But that thread seemed to be rather short on facts and long on accusations.

After listening and observing Ford's testimony today, I join with those who wish more and better questions had been asked. For example, she said the house was quiet, it was not a "party" in the sense of loud music, "party" behavior, etc. There were apparently 6 people there. But then 3 of the 6 disappeared upstairs. Music upstairs in the bedroom right at the top of the stairs was suddenly turned up loud, there were two jumps onto the bed in that room by Mark Judge per her testimony -- jumps that should have caused audible thumping noise that should have been heard downstairs. And none of the 3 downstairs noticed the loud music and thumps and came up to see what was going on?

When Ford escaped, she ran across the hall and locked herself into the bathroom ... Why didn't she scream as soon as her mouth was free of her "assailant's" hand? Or why didn't she simply run right down the stairs to the presumed safety of the 3 people down there, one of whom was a close girlfriend of hers?

And I have big problems with her not telling this close girlfriend anything about the supposed attack, that is just not the way girls and their close girlfriends are with each other, not to mention Ford leaving this supposedly close girlfriend totally ALONE in the house with 4 boys, 2 of whom Ford said were involved in the claimed assault on her.

Just a few obvious questions could have resolved a great deal.

As things stand, had I been Ford and such an assault occurred, and had I maintained my silence about it for so long, had so little recall and details, not to mention no actual physical harm done to me or my clothing, I believe I would have maintained my silence. Common sense clarifies that it could only result in the "she said/he said" that in fact it is, and she is entirely responsible for having brought down the criticisms and other flak that have fallen on her head. She alone chose not to tell her parents or friends or the police at the time it would have mattered most.

Decisions have consequences.

He did seem to find his testicles. Which is more than you could say about most of the Republicans there.

He was neither petty nor spiteful, he was defending himself AGAINST the "petty and spiteful" DEMOCRATIC senators on the judiciary committee who love their hyperbole and drama.

Why would Ford leave her friend there at the party, alone, with three other guys after two of them tried to rape her? And never even asked her friend, or followed up, if she was alright?

And again-this thread is about facts, and discrediting false stories from social media. As well as verifying true ones...like, apparently the gofundme ones.

(progressives are getting stranger by the day)
Is forum membership relevant to the discussion? No, and it wouldn’t change your intentions, implied or otherwise, whatsoever.
