    Credibility is what they are saying.  If she was afraid of flying then why was she.
    That's what I hear most people say, but that wasn't my take on it.
    My take was a more subtle sleight, pointing out how this was intentionally delayed.  
    Setting up for the fact she said she was holding out for an offer for them to come to CA. And now they are claiming they did offer to come out but the lawyers possibly messed up the communication.

    Yes, that was the other angle that I read too.
  • Honestly, people are complaining about that, and you are accepting of that argument? Because that a pretty crappy thing to do to someone. 

    Almost half of people are afraid of flying to one degree or another, and yet most people do fly, if they have to. Most people muscle through it, with Ativan or alcohol or just willpower. 

    I had a bad bike accident on an icy road more than 20 years ago, I am still terrified of cycling on the ice, but I do. I cycle year round and when it’s icy, or I even think it’s icy, I am anxious my whole ride. I hyperventilate as I ride over bridges and arrive at work all tense, but I still do it. It hasn’t gotten any better, either. 

    So, am I lying about being afraid of cycling on icy roads? 
     
    You'll have to take the argument up with the right as I agree with you.  The other things I listed are also attacking her credibility.

    Again, this is what I read that the right /conservatives are discussing.

    Are you asking me or asking what the republicans think?

    I believe I misinterpreted your comments.

    Apologies... disregard.

    Here's a running list of Kavanaugh's lies, mony of which were under oath. They have all been proven demonstrably false. None of them rely on Ford's credibility. https://www.gq.com/story/all-of-brett-kavanaughs-lies

    With the FBI "investigation" concluded I think this needs to be reposted here.

    A powerful political cartoon depicting the assault of Lady Justice has gone viral in the wake of recent allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh The graphic image is an explicit reference to how California professor Christine Blasey Ford described an alleged sexual assault by Kavanaugh when they were both in high school in 1982

    The age of Trump.

    When people can say stupid stuff like this and think they have a valid point.

    "One word: Professors. Lol.  Too funny.  Like anyone should care what academics that couldn't cut it in the real world say."

    As an example, the way the news reports:

     Senators got a chance Thursday morning to learn the results of a quick, limited FBI investigation into sexual misconduct accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a day before a crucial test vote on his confirmation.

    The way an objective report should be:

     Senators got a chance Thursday morning to learn the results of a 3 day FBI investigation into sexual misconduct accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that included interviews with 10 people related to 2 of the accusations, a day before a crucial test vote on his confirmation.


    Then I can make up my mind that it was quick and limited.  Why is the reporter telling me their opinion? It's not an opinion piece.
    Find me one news messenger who's delivered an impartial message on any side (at any point in history).

    This is just another structural problem in America. You are asking for ethics from people whose ethical behaviour negatively impacts their objectives - whether that's a politician collecting from lobbyists, or a media conglomerate recognizing an epidemic of seeking like opinions to reinforce bias (whether correct or not). 

    These are the groups we have relinquished power to, as we've collectively fought diversity of thought so we could be right instead of righteous. An honest question for anyone reading this, how the fuck do you have faith that we aren't collectively doomed?

    Beware of any groups that vilify academia or higher learning.


    It's almost as if no one has learned anything from history.

    The organization was established on after World War II with the aim of preventing another such conflict?

    That UN?

    You're right, the analogy isn't accurate.  If you were this dog, you're more likely to be in the corner licking your balls while the house burns down around you.  
    You guys are so easy. Ummm. I know the history of the UN. I also know it's ACTUAL power.  As in none. It prevents nothing.  As witnessed by the numerous wars and such that have happened since.

    Yep they will confirm him tomorrow and this sends a clear sign to all women this president & senate don’t care at all if you get violated or sexually assaulted they just gave you a big middle finger to swallow with your lunch !
    You guys are so dramatic.  It does not mean that at all.  It means a lot of other things, but it does not mean that at all.
