Thank you for being a good dad and teaching your daughter real life skills.

Are you talking about all people in general, or this woman's made-up story?

No, red will respond with why I'm wrong and that he does not support the left...want to bet? LOL....


But by me writing this red may not respond directly to my post.....but lets see if red has any truth?

And this is the first time I've heard the suggestion that people laugh when they're attempting to rape someone else. That's not something reported in other sexual assault cases, that the perpetrator was laughing while assaulting someone.

Sexual acts don't generally involve laughing.
She also says that her parents didn't give her the respect and appreciation she deserved, according to her husband. I won't look up the link because I've already posted it several times. But this ties in nicely - seems like she really, really has an inferiority complex. It makes me wonder if she didn't at some point feel rebuffed by whoever was at the party with her and twisted off into this mode.

She is so jacked up it's not even funny.

Please tell us how this could ever happen, from your link:

Berchem's efforts also show that some potential witnesses have been unable to get important information to the FBI.

How, how cold that ever happen?

I'm talking about moving forward in life and not getting mired up in ancient history, muddled memories, ambiguous emotions, etc. Saying "I and my future, and my family's future, is not defined by what happened to me in the past."

Whatever happened. It's a mindset. It's a powerful mindset in fact. It puts a person back in the driver's seat of their lives. It frees up head space. It's definitely liberating.

He supplied more documents than the last 5 supreme court nominees combined......but still not enough for you people.

Maybe at some point you will come up with something more factual and more meaningful, you are trying way to hard to discredit the victim.


Jacked up LOL

Had a busy day at work so was just catching up. See the Democrats are trying to move the goalposts on this investigation just as I suspected would happen. Are lefties on here still trying to claim this isn’t about politics for the Democrats??

At the very least, her “truth”, which she may very well actually believe, does not seems unlikely to be an accurate portrayal of what actually happened.

I fully expect once he is confirmed or his nomination is withdrawn for her real backstory to start trickling out. I have an impression it isn’t going to be pretty.
I think you’re correct in this. Due to the shroud of the so called sexual assault she gets a free pass and can’t be questioned too harshly. Plus it’s not PC to suggest she’s lying or misinformed. That woman has a past and has secrets. I think it’s possible she was assaulted completely by someone not Kavanaugh. I’m thinking it was another guy at another party or maybe someone in her own family.

I also find the whole trauma thing to be over the top. She was not raped or penetrated and her clothes remained on and she got away. I’m not saying it wasn’t worth being upset and ticked off about and perhaps a little jumpy for a few weeks thinking about it but she got away. Her reaction and saying she’s been traumatized for almost 40 years and this affected her entire life I find to be most interesting.

Could you please post that link? I just cannot find anything to corroborate this.

Do you know her family? What ties in nicely? Your psychoanalysis of her 'inferiority complex' is certainly amazing if you don't know her.

With all due respect, why are you qualified to psychoanalyze her and even go so far as to make up a scenario about being 'rebuffed'?

This is one reason women don't come forward. They are then subjected to a bunch of armchair psychologists destroying her simply to rationalize their own preconceived opinions.
