5 people at a party? Well I guess I did go to some parties in high school. I just thought it was car load of teenagers riding around. If she had this party and could only get 5 people to attend that tells me more about her than all the rest.

Nope drinking has NOTHING to do with it!

Hundreds of Holton-Arms alumnae dating back to 1967 countered wrote a letter stating that they believe Ford's version and are grateful she came forward.


"Dr. Blasey Ford's experience is all too consistent with stories we heard and lived while attending Holton. Many of us are survivors ourselves," states that letter.

And are you really going to try to claim that his drinking in high school is a reason? You are seriously grasping.

Smooky, I’m sorry your high school years were so boring.

There are many reason as to why he should not be a Supreme Court Judge.

People talk.
What are we doing on here?

Seems judge did a lot of it.In "Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk," Mark Judge describes in detail the raucous parties that would occur with Georgetown Prep School students on the weekends when he was a high school student.


Kavanaugh's 1983 high school senior yearbook, provided by a former student who wanted to stay anonymous.
In it, Kavanaugh wrote a handful of entries about drinking in his yearbook entry at Georgetown Prep, in Maryland. In those references, he said he was a member of the "Beach Week Ralph Club" and Treasurer of "Keg City Club."

Wait, you can’t be a Supreme Court Justice if you puke in a car? Crap, there go my hopes and dreams.

How could this Miranda woman have heard about it when Ford claims she told no one until 2012 during therapy?

Do you remember your high school days?

Guess she wasn't there but people were talking about it. Judge however was there.

In "Wasted," Judge also describes an exchange with a young woman at a party when talk arose of a friend who puked in a car.
"Do you know Bart O'Kavanaugh?"
"Yeah. He's around here somewhere."
"I heard he puked in someone's car the other night."
"Yeah. He passed out on his way back from a party."
here.


So we will have to wait until Thursday to see what's talked about there

When I was in high school, I heard this one girl named Julie had to go to the ER because she was mast*rbating with a hotdog and it broke off in her and got stuck. I heard it, so it had to happen.

Incidentally, I know these guys that graduated from the same high school about 12 years after I did. They were talking one day and had heard about a girl they went to school with that had the same thing happen to her.

"Christine Blasey Ford was a year or so behind me," wrote the woman, Cristina King Miranda, who now works as a performing arts curator in Mexico City. "I did not know her personally but I remember her. This incident did happen."

She added, "Many of us heard a buzz about it indirectly with few specific details. However Christine's vivid recollection should be more than enough for us to truly, deeply know that the accusation is true."

--"a year or so behind me"

--"I did not know her personally"

--"Many of us heard a buzz about it indirectly with few specific details."

Does anyone else have a problem with this?

She didn't backtrack nut bag...

I had no idea that I would have to now go to the specifics and defend it before 50 cable channels and have my face spread all over [MSNBC] and Twitter.”

But King Miranda did not back off her assertion that she recalls hearing about an incident involving Kavanaugh at a party.


. She said on Twitter that she deleted it "because it served its purpose and I am now dealing with a slew of requests for interviews … Organizing how I want to proceed. Was not ready for that, not sure I am interested in pursuing. Thanks for reading."

smonk, that woman posted that when it first started. When she was challenged for details, she quickly backtracked about 'no first hand knowledge'. I think she also deleted her original post.

Anyway, wait until people see that year book. I think people will start to question how that little incident could traumatize Ford to the point of forgetting it for 30 yrs.

I think that year book will show different. This wasn't her first drunken party.

Get ready for another TRUMP WIN and another CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT LIFE TIME JUDGE.

And what is the FBI supposed to be investigating? The woman has no idea what, where, when, WTH, WTF, or nothing!!! HA! So what is the waste of the FBI's time supposed to be investigating, discovering, and determining?

Tilly22

Posted 5:03 pm, 09/23/2018

Anti, what is your response to all 4 of Fords witnesses saying they have no knowledge of the party in question,even her female friend?


Also why didn't the Dems call for an FBI investigation in July when they first got the letter? Or at least quwstion him about it then?

The FBI has already investigated him like 6 times anyway.

A former schoolmate of Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser wrote a post saying she recalls hearing about the alleged assault involving Kavanaugh, though she says she has no first-hand information to corroborate the accuser’s claims.

"Christine Blasey Ford was a year or so behind me," wrote the woman, Cristina King Miranda, who now works as a performing arts curator in Mexico City. "I did not know her personally but I remember her. This incident did happen."

She added, "Many of us heard a buzz about it indirectly with few specific details. However Christine's vivid recollection should be more than enough for us to truly, deeply know that the accusation is true."

And with an entire system created to protect the innocent, the only option is to rule he is innocent and that these claims have nothing to do with his ability to serve on the ussc.


You may be right, Affy, and I hope that's the case. But if I understand correctly, the GOP is pushing for there to be no investigation at all, while the Democrats are pushing the FBI to do a full investigation.

This story had its beginnings in 2012 when the loons were getting ready in case Romney won.
It was suggested at the time that if Romney won, Kavanaugh would like be the Supreme Court nominee.
Here's how that unfolded.

They had it ready then, and just saved it to use when they needed to.

OK, so how does your side explain the polygraph that she took?

Or the fact that she has rarely contributed to any political candidate, and there's no evidence of her being paid for anything?

We're talking about a small party of 5 people. Three of them went to school with Kavanaugh, with the policy of "what happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep." One of the guys has gone on to be an extremist Republican supporter. So their testimonies can be easily ignored.

Leland Keyser said that she doesn't remember the party, but she does believe Ford.

Kavanaugh’s opponents have not been able to find one former girlfriend or female coworker that has had anything negative to say about him. Especially not anything even remotely suggesting he was ever derogatory towards women or at all out of line physically. Not one. Usually in a case where one person makes an allegation, if it is true, there are others that have some negative experience to also report. Even as small as the suspect was condescending to women at work. Or made sexist comments about their mammary glands. They can’t even find someone willing to say Kavanaugh has said women suck at golf.

So the reality is, even if Ford’s story is true, there is zero evidence to support it. And with an entire system created to protect the innocent, the only option is to rule he is innocent and that these claims have nothing to do with his ability to serve on the ussc.
