Not one of Kavanaugh's best moments. It seems like K had some sort of nose problems, he kind of twitches it a bit in this video, in others he was snorting an snuffling. Here, kind of a combination of evading the question, trying to waste time, and complaining about the terrible tactics against him.

Please don't do that: even Swisscunts and Strinefuckers have managed to register successfully with no ill effects. But declining to register when there is not a good reason is a bit of a red flag, and bespeaks somewhat of bad faith.

I understand all of that and even agree with "bespeaks somewhat of bad faith".

I'm starting a new job soon, and as I said earlier, I try not to make logins so as not to get bound up in the drama. It's much more an attempt on my part to focus on work and not fuck myself over via distractions than anything else.

Thanks though, I've gotten a lot of value from just lurking here, though I do that too much as well.

Bottom line.

The four people at the party say they don’t remember it. Her best friend doesn’t remember it. Her best friend doesn’t know K man. His diaries rule out a weekend. He has 65 high school era vagina bearers cheering him on and no one from his circle or extended circle has a bad word. He has 84 females from the White House cheering him. He has the support of the parents of his girls basketball team.

This is exercise is bullshit.

If he wasn't going to vote along partisan lines on the Supreme Court before this process, I'm not sure that is true any more.

A fixed frame of reference would be nice to have, but it would not change the fact that there were only three people in the room and you have to choose whom to believe.

We do have the names of at least five supposed partygoers:
Patrick James Smyth, Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh, Leland Ingham Keyser & Christine Blasey

As to BK's diary, I would bet on July 1st, when Kav was planning on brewskis with the other two young men named above.

A police report and other contemporaneous documentation would surely be nice to have, but such things fall well outside of "cases like this" stipulated above. (What fraction of assault victims even report to the police, anyhow?)

As to a pattern of behavior, we would have to bring in the accusations from several other women.

MARK JOSEPH STERN wrote:Why did Kavanaugh say that no entry on his detailed July 1982 calendar matched Ford’s description of the party at which she was allegedly assaulted? The calendar states that Kavanaugh went “to Timmy’s for skis w/Judge, Tom, PJ, Bernie, Squi” on July 1, 1982, squarely within the time frame put forth by Ford. She also identified “PJ” (a man named Patrick Smyth) and Judge as being present at the party—before seeing Kavanaugh’s calendar. Doesn’t this July 1 gathering thus fit Ford’s account quite neatly?

I found this to be a little bit snippy and disrespectful.

Klobuchar was too nice to him at this point and later when she sort of apologized for asking the question. He deserved to be put in his place and Klobuchar dropped a bit in my estimation for taking crap from him.

She was just being "Minnesota nice," as they say up there in the frozen north.

What I find more disconcerting is that the self-identified "biggest contributor" to "Beach Week Ralph Club" avowedly denies any possible loss of memory to alcohol. This guy sucks at either neurophysiology or honest self-assessment, probably both.

I thought Kaiser (sic?) was a required participant?

I’m not saying the attack definitely didn’t happen. I’m saying it would be nice if the people who were meant to be at the party could acknowledge the baseline social event happened. It would also be nice if there was good evidence from acquaintances that K man was a shit to women outside this context. Or something which joined dots on the specific allegation.

I know this is a job interview and not a court trial. But the job is an important one and it’s being thrown by an accusation of criminality within a political hot-war. So the lines are blurred

I think a lot of the reason for the heat of the argument is that the GOP senate didn't want the FBI to investigate the accusations and tried to rush it through without the stories actually being checked out.
I think that was wrong. Maybe nothing significant would come out, but possibly the investigation might discredit the accusers. If they come out with something on Kavanaugh before the vote it will have prevented the GOP from making a mistake that might come out later to take a huge bite out of their ass.

The relative approaches to the FBI is similar to when an ‘independent’ consultant is brought into a fraught workplace.

One side, usually board or CEO, is looking for an outside hook to ramp up the pressure to meet their seperate agenda. “Not best practice here and here, done effectively but could be improved, should be aligned to ISOxxx, should adhere to this governance model (utterly divorced from actual operational pragmatics), benefit from improved feedback loops (because nothing is 100% sorted), setup new oversight, employ us for future reviews etc etc etc”.

The target knows they are being setup and the thrust could come from any direction or combination of directions. So the stress and paranoia ramp up, creating new opportunities for management to leverage.

The game is old and the unwritten rules are clear to everybody with any corporate or group power experience.

So... I'm gonna toss this theory out to youall. The question on my mind is "Who leaked the Dr. Ford letter to the media".

Three groups had the letter. 1) Diane Feinstein 2) Dr. Ford's lawyers 3) Ford's Congresswoman

An interesting point is that Dr. Ford's lawyers were recommended to her by Feinstien. Her lawyers are Democrat operatives in my mind. This is really interesting. Dr. Ford doesn't claim to even know who paid for her lie detector test. Ford is a willing pawn in this game. In fact.... Ford may believe DK is guilty and is willing to play any game suggested by the Dems to defeat him. She is willing let her lawyers manipulate the situation so she can crush BK.

My theory is that Democrat politicians pressured Dr. Ford's lawyers to do the leak. This makes the most sense to me. The lawyers are trying to boost business and are happy to support their Democrat customers. The lawyers played this part of the game.

That would be nice, yes, but it is entirely unreasonable to expect anyone to remember a social gathering from July 1982 unless something very memorable happened (to them) at the time.

Just last week, I was tagged by an old classmate in a photo from high school.

Are you willing to argue that it was wrong for Blasey Ford to come forward, even if her memories of that evening were substantively correct?

I don’t know Ford’s motives for coming forward, though I do know her strong political leanings. I don’t know whether she’s donating or pocketing her million bucks gofundme. The moral territory is ambiguous.

The Kayser thing is just that neither is mentioned in diary. Not a deal breaker.

I have very clear memories of a happy consensual teenage event in September 1982. I can even recall that the Redford move “the candidate” was on in the background. Memory is weird.

What would be your methodology for assigning probability to these claims such that a positive claim’s veracity is in proportion to the harm such a finding would have? Imagine you are writing a procedures manual for the Senate.

This sounds like a pleasurably memorable moment, if I'm picking up what you're putting down...but what I'm getting at here is that some moments are much more memorable than others.
Brive1987 wrote: What would be your methodology for assigning probability to these claims such that a positive claim’s veracity is in proportion to the harm such a finding would have?
I can think of many factors we ought to weigh when it comes to believing or rejecting some specific claim, but probable harm is not really one of them unless we are specifically empowered to act on our beliefs.

For the record, though, failing to receive a prestigious position with life tenure when you already have life tenure in a slightly less prestigious position isn't high up on the list of possible harms. A far more serious harm would be believing accusers when life and liberty are on the line.

BK highlighted the self obvious non-professional implications of not getting a promotion because you are considered to be a rapist. In case it wasn’t obvious, we already have calls for him to be secured away from teenagers.

I refer you back to JohnD’s MarkC video above, which cogently argues that we are missing an objective basis to assess unsubstantiated accusations. Which of your “many” factors would you bring into play here?

Kav's left-wing conspiracy theory defense beggars belief, but I suppose there is nearly always an even crazier theory on offer.

I need to know what you mean by unsubstantiated here. If a teen girl stomps down the stairs at Tommy's house party and announces to everyone present that Brett and Mark just pinned her to a bed and groped her, is that claim substantiated or unsubstantiated? How about if Mark and Brett deny anything untoward happened? If you go with unsubstantiated (as I expect you will) then what possible evidence could she adduce?

You are actually a fucking idiot.... seriously. I can't even understand how you could build this question in your brain. It is not even worth discussing... but... I just had to spend the time telling you what my opinion is of this particular and completely idiotic question. It is like Bill Clinton changing the definition of "is".
Definition of unsubstantiated
: not proven to be true : not substantiated

I need to know what you mean by unsubstantiated here. If a teen girl stomps down the stairs at Tommy's house party and announces to everyone present that Brett and Mark just pinned her to a bed and groped her, is that claim substantiated or unsubstantiated? How about if Mark and Brett deny anything untoward happened? If you go with unsubstantiated (as I expect you will) then what possible evidence could she adduce?
Well here’s another definition.
substantiate: support with proof or evidence
In this case we know they were together. We can assess their character in timely context. We know Christi demonstrated an observable reaction. There is a substantiated basis for the complaint. Failing material evidence, you would need to fill out your scenario to allow for a more subjective balancing of the information. At the moment your story is consistent with everything from rape to false accusation based on an underlying grievance.

This is good... the report from the Republic prosecutor who questioned Ford.

If we did know Mark, Brett, and Christi were in the house at the time, what could possibly convince you to believe her version of events rather than theirs?

Sans material evidence, it’s a balance of probability thing.
If I knew Brett and Mark were little shits ..
If I knew Christi was a paragon ..
If Brett and Mark were immediately and obviously unconvincing
If there was past record of assault ..

But this is hypothetical. With BK we aren’t even on first base and 35 years have passed. It’s game over, man.

So . . . if you were to come to believe Christine really did show up at the gathering which Brett mentioned in his calendar (July 1st, 1982) then it would simply come down to whether you find her to be more credible than him?

We do have at least a few reasons to question his credibility at this point:

A very pretty brunet in a white frock (wearing no bra by the way) just popped by and said "Carrousel".

PS - my wife and I actually had a constructive discussion yesterday and we have decided to get one dog. If we think the new dog "needs" another dog in it's life we will consider a second dog. So, it is working out so far.
Congrats. I accidentally ended up owning a dog a couple weeks back. I'm quite pleased with her.

After 35 years I’d be shelving breathless (1 beer) smoking gun accusations. Your original scenario had the advantage of immediacy. This new hypothetical is, of course, just that.

Cool.... and for an update. My wife and I are going to pick up our new mutt tomorrow. She is about 15 pounds of Pekingese and some kind of spaniel. My wife is head-over-heals in love with her already.... and... we are worried something will go wrong with the deal...haha. These rescue people are tricky to work with sometimes so we hope all goes well.

When we were trying to adopt a stray from a rescue once they actually asked us what we would do with the dog if we got a divorce. I said "We will never divorce so that is not a question I can answer." and the bitch says.... "Well you can't know that for sure so I need an answer." and I said "I have no concept of what my decisions would be regarding a divorce because I will never get a divorce." Needless to say... they ended up telling us we couldn't adopt the dog we wanted because he had separation anxiety and we were not home 100% of the time. I was pretty upset that day.

The shirtless one is wearing a shirt and I now agree with him on this topic. I think Dr. Ford is a liar. I can't be 100% sure.... but I no longer consider her testimony convincing.
