If the story with ford had legs, it would have been front and center when placed in feinstein's hands in july. There is a reason why it was a final moment hail mary strategy.
So are you saying the 2 guys claims are credible or not?>

Actually she should be very familiar with how memory gets distorted over time. In fact, while it gets more vivid and detailed, it gets more inaccurate. I think there was a 9/11 study. As the people got further away from the event, the memories were more detailed and more vivid but their memories were more inaccurate. There are a million studies out there showing that you can be persuaded to remember something that never happened. She should certainly know this. You cannot trust it-no idea why eye witness testimony is allowed. Also the others, other accusers I would say the Mandela Effect.
I agree. Memories are not always reliable, especially memories from 36 years ago.

But for any of us to question Ford's explanation of memory formation is silly at best.

There is no right way to do this. Look at this shit show! Don't do anything and dems delay and bring more ridiculous claims, or just get it done. Any civilized person can see there is nothing to investigate, as there are only charges, no details, evidence, or witnesses. At what point do you stop playing the never ending game?
So why does an innocent man refuse to ask for an FBI investigation?

An investigation would further remove any doubt from Kavanaugh if the FBI stated he appeared to be innocent of the accusations. No sweat of his balls.

She does need to be questioned about it, because she left out about ten neurotransmitters that have something to do with memory formation. She also left out how the Limbic system, particularly the Amygdala has a role in attaching emotion to memories-which may have helped her. And no matter how they are formed, they are not accurate this long out.

Would you say that she repressed those memories until 2012?
No.

She chose not to share them.

Big difference.

This who Kavanaugh thing has me wondering... Why didnt anyone question the accusations made by hundreds of men who stated priests sexually assaulted them 30+ years ago? Why did they get a pass on not going public decades ago?

He said he would do whatever the committee wants to do. This is the stupid bias t "well what does he have to hide". Who says the FBI would even do it.

We agree on this but I wouldnt want to be the one debating the doctor of psychology on the details of memory formation.
Believe me, I've know plenty of psych PhDs that don't know shit about how the brain works.

It was a simple yes or no question Kavanaugh wouldnt answer.

When asked point blank if he would support or ask for an FBI investigation he refused to answer the question, numerous times. At one point a senator stated, I will take your refusal to answer as a no and Kavanaugh didnt disagree with her statement.

Again, an innocent man would be demanding any and all investigations and tool available to him to clear his name... no?


Asked 8 times by 4 members of senate and refused to answer all of them.

Repressed memories are a sham. The brain will fit in what it thinks should happen based on past experiences. There was a study where the people faked a car crash, they interviewed the witnesses (people on the street that witnessed the fake wreck) Something like 30% said they saw, saw, the ambulance come and take one of the people away to the hospital. This was right after they witnessed it. There was never an ambulance on the scene.

Do you know how many guilty people/lying people ask for investigations to fool people? Asking or not asking doesn't mean squat.

I don't think they sat on it because it didn't have legs.

They sat on it to limit the amount of time the Republicans could react to it before the vote.

Their sincerity for Ford is a joke. Ford was a pawn and they played it at what they hoped would be their most advantageous moment.

If they were able to delay this until after the midterms and the Dems grabbed control, that seat would have sat empty for a long time - it still might if this vote fails.

It's the same playbook the Republicans used during the last year of Obama's presidency when Scalia's seat sat empty for 422 days.

Politicians gonna politician.

A Republican Yale drinking buddy of Kavanaugh's tells CNN he lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee

"I'll tell you, Chris, I watched the whole hearing, and a number of my Yale colleagues and I were extremely disappointed in Brett Kavanaugh's characterization of himself and the way that he evaded his excessive drinking question" and "was lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee today," Brookes said. "There is no doubt in my mind that while at Yale, he was a big partier, often drank to excess, and there had to be a number of nights where he does not remember."

"I'm not saying it's wrong that he drank, but if he's going to be the ultimate judge of truth in our society, a Supreme Court justice, and at 53 years old he's going to lie about what he did when he was 15, what else will he lie about?"

because it would take 2 to 3 months and give democrates the chance to win senate and remove him. Thats why it was held on till the last minute to release instead of 45 days ago with letter came to light.
