I've got to apologize to you, Thought... I wasn't looking to re-open old wounds, and I certainly wasn't trying to press you for details. To be perfectly honest, I was just looking for a yes or no answer to gauge if you had a personal understanding of what Dr. Ford alleges she experienced.
That being said, I'd be interested in hearing your take on the testimony today... I've only gotten to watch a few excerpts hear and there, so it'd be interesting to hear the take of someone who has seen the whole thing. I actually watched a couple of clips with and without the volume just to watch the difference in body language... I found the contrast to be remarkable.
Thank you for the apology and explanation.
After watching the entire hearing I have reason to doubt both of them.
Like I stated, Dr. Ford has a PhD in psychology and could have been acting, she knows just how a rape victim would act. Because she has said and done things that would not be how an educated woman would act, I have my doubts. Also she is a liberal, supports the MeToo movement and does not support Trump. I'm sure she does not want Kavanugh on the Supreme Court because of Roe vs Wade.
!. Her lying about not wanting to fly in order to testify. She fly's all the time
2. Her thinking her information about the sexual assault would be kept confidential.
3. Her saying the boys laughing at her was the worse thing about the sexual assault.
4. She spoke to Judge five or six weeks later, where he worked, and wondered why he was not friendly? She says Hi and she said he acted guilty. Why would she not ignore him or run away? He was one of the two who tried to sexually assault her. She even said he urged Kavanaugh on, laughed and may have been the one to push her into the room. She also stated they both locked the door. How do they both lock the door and how did she observe them both locking the door if they were pushing her? How does she know he would not have raped her too? She has never said that but you would think she would have thought that.
5. During her testimony she went from looking frightened and stressed to coming across together, knowledgeable and confident. She acted confused over certain wording during the questioning but when answering seemed to know everything quite well, like an educated woman in the field of psychology. Was not consistent. Don't know for sure what was causing this kind of behavior.
6. She's a professor and is use to speaking in front of large groups, she was not raped, she was not unclothed, in fact could you even call this a sexual assault, she did not explain exactly where he touched her, she did not say how long the assault went on and her excuse for him not undressing her was because he was so intoxicated but they manged to push her into a room, lock the door, know to turn up the music and talk with each other, even laugh.
My doubts about Kavanaugh testimony.
1. His drinking and how much was not confirmed.
2. He avoided explaining if he ever forgot things after drinking.
#. He got rattled when talking about Judge.
My conclusion is Kavanaugh and Judge did jump on her and were kidding around. She was frightened and upset. She is suffering from mental issues not related to the assault. If you can call it an assault. Kavanaugh will not admit they did this because he knows he will lose the nomination and he thinks he deserves it even if this did happen when he was 17 yrs old. She is exaggerating and he is not being truthful. Also I think her motivation is also political.
I seriously have no idea if he should be confirmed or not. I go from thinking he should to thinking he should not.
