I'm taking a knee om this.
YIKE: OK, Kavanaugh's accuser comes forward. I don't know - given the therapist's notes from 2012, it seems pretty clear that something happened to her in high school. She gave the WaPo the names of two other attendees at this small gathering (maybe 8-10 people?) but they have not yet been heard from.
On the other hand, I really have no idea how far The Resistance will go in resisting, so maybe the basic traumatizing incident is true but the names have been changed to malign the innocent. I suspect we will hear from some of the other party-goers soon enough.

Because everybody who was in therapy has copies of the doctor's notes, right? The guys were drunk but she wasn't, right? (Don't ask me how I know how girls behave at G'Town Prep parties.) None of her 65 classmates who signed his high school good character letter had ever seen any such thing, right? Because teenage boys who get drunk and grope only do that once, right? Couples therapy...no incentive to find a juicy boogey man to blame their problems on, right?
A therapist in CA of all places can always be counted on when a Conservative SCOTUS nominee is up, right?
Can't make this crap up can you? Wait. She just did.

She just told her husband about this evil man in 2012??
I'm supposed to believe this man ASSAULTED her, but her only fear was he'd be SCOTUS back in 2012, so this evil man who ruined her lifE and had her having nightmares for decades was never mentioned to her husband

I am getting this forboding that there has been a well designed strategy after Trump won the election to insert so many negative actions into the mainstream media that it would discourage his base, independents, and old line GOP from voting in the midterms.
1. Russian Collusion'
2. Stormy and Avenatti (really outliving their 15 minutes)
3. Manafort
4. Woodward
5. NYT OpEd
6. Florence Complicity
There are many others but I do not believe in co-incidence. Just seems so pat to me.
An Addendum: I have been remiss but Happy Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to all my Jewish brethern. Everyear at this time, I always make a donation to "Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces" (FIDF). Its a great charity that does a lot of good work supporting the first line of defense for Israel.

First of all that incident isn't severe enough to freak out anyone for 30 years. My guess is lots of High Schoolers at a party in a house with no parents went thru that.
When I was in HS I was with a bunch of guys who surrounded me on a hill somewhere threatening to rape me. They backed off. I never told anyone but I do remember who 3 of them are and if they ever decide to run for democrat office, I'll be sure to share my ongoing trauma.

Good Morning!
Puking dogs yesterday, so up and down all midnight running Scout outside to retch, but a big treat was finally seeing what they've been sniffing in the back yard bushes the last few days---a huge Porcupine! Scout was too ill to chase him but Porky, about the size of 2 basketballs, was on the neighbors doorstep, then when he spotted us he crossed the street, slowly sauntered down the gutter, then disappeared into the other neighbors shrubbery where I've noticed Nelson has been sniffing around lately. It's nice to solve a mystery, and Scout appears much improved this AM for breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast (Excellent Pieces, Clarice, BTW) I have a highly technical question that needs your cooking expertise.
I've been making Oatmeal where you cut off the top of one of those little Quaker Oats packages along the line where it says "Cut Here."
Then you pour the oats into a bowl, fill the now empty package up to the "Fill with Water" line, pour it onto the oats, then Microwave for 2:30 seconds on high. If I rashly decide to do the dangerous move of making 2 packages at a time, I am guessing you simply double the water, but do you leave the timing the same or double it also, or maybe just tack on an extra few minutes at high and keep your fingers crossed? My recovering "Egg-chapped" lips want to know.

The problem with Twitter links to good stuff is that there is a leftist strategy to populate the comments from the 1st one, and again make it discouraging. Not to me but I can see how it can work on others.

LOL. I use milk, not water. No, for the double batch, just add 15 seconds. Test it, and if not warm enough, another 15 secs. Then you will learn the correct time.
Of course, asking Clarice, you will be told by her to get a Thermomix and never have to worry about times again.
Posted by: Jim Eagle | September 16, 2018 at 03:49 PM
Jack,
I agree, which is why I copy the President's tweets so that people don't have to read the comments.
Hoever, when there is embedded video or screen caps. it is way too time consuming to try to copy it over here, so I just use the embedded tweet.
My solution is to not ever read the comments, unless it's a discussion going on on one of the threads from the investigative people I follow.
