    After seeing Judge’s denial, Elizabeth Rasor, who met Judge at Catholic University and was in a relationship with him for about three years, said that she felt morally obligated to challenge his account that “ ‘no horseplay’ took place at Georgetown Prep with women.” Rasor stressed that “under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t reveal information that was told in confidence,” but, she said, “I can’t stand by and watch him lie.” In an interview with The New Yorker, she said, “Mark told me a very different story.” Rasor recalled that Judge had told her ashamedly of an incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman. Rasor said that Judge seemed to regard it as fully consensual. She said that Judge did not name others involved in the incident, and she has no knowledge that Kavanaugh participated. But Rasor was disturbed by the story and noted that it undercut Judge’s protestations about the sexual innocence of Georgetown Prep. (Barbara Van Gelder, an attorney for Judge, said that he “categorically denies” the account related by Rasor. Van Gelder said that Judge had no further comment.)

    How about one of the alleged other women who suffered at the Ocean Beach Qualuude Rape House?

    It's only Wednesday, at this rate you'll get what you want soon enough. I mean I think Avenatti is a publicity-seeking asshat but he said he had this sworn statement and he appears to have it, so I'm not sure it's safe to assume that the part in that statement claiming there are multiple corroborating witnesses willing to speak is false.

    Totally agree.  Would be REALLY nice for someone other than an accuser(husband and therapist don't count) to provide some corroboration on any of these claims.

    Yes, why won't the alleged co-conspirators corroborate the accusations? The mind truly boggles.

    If this latest allegation is at all credible....he should be sunk.  I'm not saying "convicted of a crime," or even adjudged guilty of the Ford assault.  I'm saying sunk, because of what it says about his character.

    I know plenty of folks who followed a similar path as Kavanaugh, education and economics-wise.  I was generally one of them.  You could tell stories about us drinking WAY too much in high school.  Even of us saying things about women that were not nice or admirable.  I've even done so in my younger adulthood, from time to time (yeah, locker room talk type stuff) -- and for the record, I'm not proud of it.  But then there's another level: purposefully setting the stage for and committing assaults against women.  I can honestly look back on my school years, and at the very least, I didn't associate with any guys who did that sort of thing.  I can't say that NOBODY did it, because I didn't move in every crowd.  But I can say that I was at plenty of pretty wild parties, and assaults just didn't happen.  Maybe a fight in the backyard, sure.  But not sexual assault that I was ever made aware of in any way, either by guys plotting it, doing it in the open, bragging about it, stories afterwards from males or females, etc.

    If these allegations are true, they speak of a person who has a systematic disregard and lack of respect for the female half of our population.  I don't want that sort of person sitting in judgment in a traffic court.

    This is the part that gets me about this kind of thing. I also drank too much in high school (honestly drank more total in high school than college I would be willing to bet) but I don't remember any of the people I hung out with ever even discussing anything like this. It was simply not acceptable in any way. Based on statistics it's likely true that someone in our group sexually assaulted a girl or that one of the girls we knew was sexually assaulted, but I never heard anything about it. The concept of planning, executing, or even discussing someone else's plan to do something like that is just amazing to me.

    OP is discussing identity politics. It is an important cultural and political trend that is causing all kinds of mayhem such as what the OP posted. It seems that many posters here are not following the news or are not aware of the major issues facing society today. 

    lulz

    It's not a major issue facing society today, it's a made-up issue that politicians frighten rubes like you with because you'll fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

  6. Term limits are a terrible idea and always will be. Not only are they a limitation on freedom of speech (one's vote is political speech) but lots of the predicted negatives are mentioned in that blurb. Term limits would increase, not decrease, the impact of lobbyists and special interest money.

  7. Great post, I noticed the formation during the game and rewound to watch the sequence. Drives me nuts when defenses treat an ineligible receiver like an eligible receiver, but when it works for us it's great. This formation (with an inside receiver covered up) is something that Malzahn uses at Auburn dozens of times a game it seems like.

    I'm pretty sure in a previous game we had Beck in that position, but that doesn't make nearly as much sense. The defense likely isn't going to treat him like a serious receiving threat anyway.

    No, I won't debate that. 

    You add in all those years and we get to 500 against KSU if we concede that all of those are certain victories, which I don't believe that they would be. 

    Are you saying we sucked in all the other years? 

    Is 500 against a team good? Is that a number that makes us suddenly far better than them? 

    You seem to be arguing against things that nobody has said. It was argued that the old Big 12 scheduling pattern assisted Kansas State in improving their record against us in that it caused them to avoid all our best teams. You seem to agree with that.

    Yet you have decided to come into the thread and argue with things that nobody has said. Poor soul, you are just too high strung.

    That is not an illusion and this, "They didn't play us in our best years" bullshit wreaks of fucking aggy. 


    STOP!

    Are you denying that 2001, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009 were our best teams in that stretch?

    PJ as well as the female that Ford named were witnesses that could place Kavanaugh at the party with Ford. They are not accused of participating in sexual assault, and they all say that the party didn't happen. 

    I think (or thought) we were talking about the Deborah Ramírez accusation. If that's the case, then the only people who could be direct eyewitnesses would have been in the room during the sexual assault and are therefore probably, at a minimum, accomplices.

    Yep, this is a thing.  Trump supporters sharing this pic on social media:

     

     

    Is that near House Park? If they are using my old stomping grounds for this shit then they have finally gone too far.

    I don't find much interest in a really crappy mischaracterization of my position.  But at least you don't immediately accuse one of lying as a primitive defense mechanism.  In fact I don't ever recall you doing so.  

    I didn't mischaracterize your position. You have now made multiple posts focusing on the fact that the only alleged direct eyewitnesses who responded state that it didn't happen. That is completely uninformative given that they are accused of participating in a sexual assault. My question to you is why you seem to be hung up on that fact to the point of believing it calls into question the credibility of the allegation. A denial calls into question the credibility of an accusation exactly as much as the allegation calls into question the credibility of the denial. So I ask again, do you find a denial of a sexual assault claim interesting?
