Did you see her interview? Words cannot describe her craziness (yes they can but I'd be banned). No man will go near her again.

Yes crazy. She continues to attend numerous parties where she said there was a rape train going on. WTH! Why would you continue to attend? Why wouldn’t you call the police?
She also stated well BK was standing near the punch bowl. Reporter asks did you see him put anything into it. Swetnick says no but he was standing by it. Lol. So ridiculous it can’t even be called pathetic.

My guess we will not hear much if anything from this sweet? young lady nor the gal who attended rape parties all the time. I even wonder what will become of Dr? Ford? She will probably get help writing a book, that she would not be able to write on her won. If not that, she will disappear into the night.

EVERY single person disrupting the Confirmation Vote in the Senate today ..... the most important job that any Senator does ..... was a Deliberate Action by a US Senator.

Each one that did this needs to be censored - they constantly talks about how the Republicans need to "restore Civility" -- you can't even discuss the word Civility with people that do things like this.

They have no concept of Civility or even common decency. They disgust me, they should disgust every American. They lost an Election is 2016 - more than that - they lost their Minds.
Interesting, so guess the Dems invited all these nutcases.

He just doesn't remember it.

It was, after all 36 years ago, he was only 17 y/o, very drunk, and has done that very same thing or close to it numerous times since - being the extremely heavy drinker he was in his youth.

He was plenty WILD at Yale - supported by the many "drinking buddies" that have come forward.
Wow, with factual information like that, you should have contacted your Senator and told him/her you need to speak to the entire Senate. I'm certain you would have been accommodated. It would have saved the FBI from conducting a 7th investigation.

Default Democrats want a return to business as usual?

Why do demo's want a return to business as usual where nothing gets done, American's get screwed, aliens are welcomed with open arms and benefits? That's what business as usual is... sounds more like a hostile take over.

This was a sham from the get go.

Actually, the District Attorney and the Sheriff (or was it the Chief Of Police? Whatever) of the county where the incident supposedly took place have stated that any police report made at this time must be investigated according to the laws that were in place at the time of the incident: 1982(?).
The "crime" as described would be merely a misdemeanor, and there WAS a one year Statute of Limitations (according to the officials) at that time, so any report made now could not and would not be investigated.
That woman might as well go home and attempt to resume her normal life.

It seems possible that he was basically committing perjury in front of the Senate. And that is different than a 36 year old crime.

But, worst of all, the Senators rammed the confirmation through without a full FBI investigation. If there really wasn't any evidence to worry about, then why rush it so much? Why not give the FBI an extra week or two to follow up on all of the credible leads?
The FBI did not think that Christine Blasey Ford telling her Husband a story, telling her "beach friends" a story actually counted as "credible leads". Those are the only people they didn't interview.

They didn't interview Blaséy Ford or Kavanaugh because they testified under Oath to the Senate -- nothing more to ask them. They did interview all the other allegations (10 interviews) and then did follow-ups to any more names they gave them.

We don't know if there was a "36 year old crime" ..... no police report, no location, no date, named witnesses all say "NOPE", one says "I've never met Brett Kavanaugh".

At this point we actually only know what Blasey Ford said .... and she was (1) pretty confused about a lot of the details. (2) kept changing the story (3) got caught in several lies.

IF she is lucky -- the Senate will just forget about it. IF she is unlucky the FBI will continue to look into some of this and HOW that letter got leaked.

If you went to a small get together with your best friend and y’all were the only two girls there, would you remember that party if your friend went upstairs and then two of the only four other people there followed her up there and your friend never returned even after they came downstairs? Your best friend who did not have a car left you there without telling you? You feel that is easily forgettable?

My contention is something like this happened to her a year or two later, when she had her own car, and she’s conflating the two. Her own timeline changed over time, and she only decided it was 1982 about the time she started talking to her lawyers and it was determined that Kavanaugh would have been away at college by the time she had a driver’s license. But in my opinion her not having a car makes her whole story fall apart, considering her friend doesn’t recall such a party or ever meeting Kavanaugh.

I've never been so drunk that I've forgotten what I've done. I've thrown up, fallen asleep (passed out is probably what dramatic people call it), acted silly and been embarrassed the next day, etc. But I think way too many people think that if you have one too many beers you will actually suffer from a form or walking amnesia akin to being on Ambien or something. I honestly don't think it works that way and don't know how this belief is so prevalent. Actually I do, people claim to not remember because they think it gives them a pass, and apparently it does these days. But I'm not buying it.
