It never crossed my head to see a house party with people I don't know or I'm not friends with and tell myself, hmmmmm I need to go in that house for whatever reason, somebody in there that got my attention....yeah that sounds like fun!!!!
What I'm saying is that do you really think this is the norm? Or do you think that many teens are unwise when it comes to what they post, write, and even may do?

But apparently Dr. Ford can find absolutely no one to corroborate that she ever met Brett Kavanaugh, let alone KNEW him. Apparently at the very least, she acted unwisely - and that's if we choose to believe her story, based only on the very little we know about her, and her word. Because she certainly has not been able to provide any evidence yet.

Every woman in America needs to take note. The Republican Party is now the Trump Party, where women are second class citizens.

Kiss those suburban soccer mom votes goodbye, GOP.

Isn't YOUR mind made up? BK is guilty and Dr Ford is telling the truth. Tell me those aren't your thoughts?

They think that they can be partisan, and then blame it on Trump. They try to excuse it by saying “We are not partisan because Trump is different.”, but it will never play out that way in reality. Dems are setting new precedents every day, and republicans will follow suit when it is their turn.
If Ginsberg jumps off a bridge, should we hand Kavanaugh a life vest?

The response should be to criticize Ginsberg, not double down on bad behavior. BTW, she did apoligize and state her remarks were ill advised. When can we expect Kavanaugh's apology? She also didn't engage in conspiracy theories, and blame her problems on Hillary, very typical partisan talking points used to rile people up. I've heard Trump speak at a rally and there statements that always get a response. The highly partisan refuse to admit that there are degrees of wrong, they just want to say but "your person..." Kavanaugh went flyng past Ginsberg with his display. I'm not even a fan of hers and i can see this clearly. I have no problem with the idea of her retiring.

Her statements weren't typical partisan points, it was a personal criticism of Trump, it wasn't the right thing to do and it should not be condoned. I will say most would have a hard time arguing with the majority of her opinion.
"He is a faker. He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that ….

"At first I thought it was funny," she said of Trump's early candidacy. "To think that there's a possibility that he could be president ….

"I think he has gotten so much free publicity ….

"Every other presidential candidate has turned over tax returns."

“This was the day Kavanaugh went from being a Bush Republican to a Trump Republican.”

The Democrats, in their short-sightedness are pushing Trump’s solid grasp on the GOP. Good!

They could have referred it to the police. There are a million things they could have done if they were interested in the truth. But no, they used it and Ford to make this a media circus, to smear Kavanugh’s reputation, to harm his family, to utterly destroy all the work he’s done, and call him a sexual predator in the public square without a shred of evidence. So yeah, this IS about the Democrats and Republicans. The Democrats played this super dirty and I have zero issues with the Republicans calling them out on it.
Another post I think is spot-on. As much as it shouldn't be about about D vs. R, it most certainly is. And Feinstein has led the parade in this grotesque matter.

I wouldn't count on that. That group is an odd bunch. Seem to love male domination and hate other women who look for attention, right or wrong.

I don't get to vote on Kavanaugh, so what I think is immaterial. But here we have Senator Lindsay Graham, someone who does get a vote, broadcasting to the world that he doesn't care if the FBI turns up evidence of sexual assault against Kavanaugh, he's voting for him anyway.

Every woman in America needs to take note here. Even if there is evidence, the Trump Party doesn't care about sexual assault against women. That should concern everyone.

Ford graduated from high school in 1984 but that screenshot "quotes" her entry in the 1986 yearbook.
