I know what a source is. Are you related to her or something? I don’t save up or copy links of everything I read or hear. I heard these things on the news tonight as these bleebs are coming in.

What? I ran a Google with her name and ex instead of mental health and found what (I think) you were talking about. It's not a bad idea though to keep track of where you hear things from IMO.

This thread proves ONE thing.....a thorough investigation by the FBI is more than warranted in this situation.

Republicans stand by Kavanaugh as details on Avenatti's new client emerge | Fox News


A bunch of tidbits in this article. Yes her name and ex boyfriend brings up tons of stuff including all the regular items such as the rape parties where she says Kavanaugh and Mark Judge were there. Oddly she attended at least 10 parties.

"I have a lot of facts, evidence, that what she’s saying is not true at all," said Vinneccy, who declined to comment further on Swetnick's claims against Kavanaugh.
If the boyfriend says he has evidence that it's not true he should produce it. That would at least settle this one account. I don't know that her actions during a breakup mean all that much. I don't see a pattern. Actually, if she is telling the truth she has coped amazing well for someone who that happened to. If not paying your bills on time was a big deal Trump wouldn't be in office right now. At least she settled the bill. We'll just have to wait.

But at this point you have to wonder what’s going on. 3 accusers but no one said anything in 30 years?

Only Kavanaugh and the accusers know what happened, but this has all the makings of a last minute smear campaign to stop the GOP from controlling the Supreme Court
I do tend to agree with this. This is so hard because I take all accusations seriously and the likelihood of a false accusation drops dramatically if the accuser is mentally stable, which, as of now she seems to be and she's experiencing serious, life changing consequences. That said, I have to question the timing and ways in which she may have been manipulated into this untenable position.

I am admitidly bias because I don't like this pick and that only grows as he seems more and more like a typical, spoiled little prince. I don't care about the politics of a judge but we do not need more of these people raised to be politicians, who don't understand that it's public service, not power they were born for. I've known too many of these Ivy law grads, we can do better.

We had a community meeting and afterwards this came up among a bunch of people. Politics really vary in my community, it's mostly white with some latinos but super diverse in other ways. The people range from old hippies to wealthy executives, incomes from barely making it to very wealthy, ocean view homeowners, it's all over the place. Plenty of Republicans but socially liberal.

Overall, for many I heard from, the accusations against him have had less impact than the typical, nasty responses of many supporting him. The anti woman bias feels loud and proud and not surprisingly women don't like that. The endless attacks on women as liars for personal gain and untrustworthy, along with the idea that men are the real victims in this world has tainted Republicans in the eyes of many. Add that to denying Obama a pick and Republicans are the ones suffering here. An election is coming up, ramming this guy through when he was not popular to begin with will probably cost R votes. That could be the plan, if so Rs fell in.

Despite what some hope, major changes aren't going to happen no matter how conservative the pick. The court will not defy public opinion on major issues of division. They will protect their own power. The R hope campaign and D fear campaign are just about votes. Support and faith in the court has been falling due to unpopular decisions. They may not be elected but their power can be checked, if people want that, they will come out to vote in Ds en masse. The court knows this. Like it or not, outside the Republican base, the Rs are the ones coming off bad and so predictable with the growing animosity toward the woman. For many, their real feelings are showing and it keeps coming out as the pressure grows. Many keep claiming the moral high ground but people don't believe them.

Literally the one thing lacking is anything resembling "proof".

That's partisan bull! If people don't like a decision it's "judicial activism," if they do, it's following the constitution. If it were that simple, we would not need judges at all. Both parties want judges to legislate from the bench for "their side." Are people really that blind to their partisan behavior. I really don't get the whole repeating the same thing over and over. That's probably the 4th time I've seen that posted today. Is it just a repeat it enough, it becomes true situation?

With the new information about two men coming forward we can now forever put this ridiculous claim to rest that Kavanaugh was involved.

The libs played their hand and got caught red handed and losing this subject.

Of course ***** heads, Antifa and the rest of the haters will keep convicting anyone without a trial.

Just like Weinstein, Matt Lauer, etc were never given the same treatment as any republican that would have remotely has done the same.

Bill Clinton has never held accountable for for what he did to women and Hillbilly is still not saying sorry to the women he abused and never got the same respect as a lying Ford does.

When lefty Politico intimates that she is a whack job and the former boyfriend filed a restraining order (an actual piece of evidence) against her in 2001 and he's a registered Democrat, maybe we finally get rid of the publicity hound porn lawyer for good.

If Kavanaugh doesn't get the job, he should sue for slander.
