45. I don't know. It's not exactly a case of "I thought no meant maybe."

It's not like they were on a date. It's not like they were making out. He WITH HIS FRIEND'S HELP forced her into the room. He tried to take her clothes off. He put his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream. He was intent on rape.

I don't see how this could be a youthful indiscretion, or a misunderstood signal. He intended forceful rape against her will. And I'll bet it's not an isolated incident either. Like the old saying, "as the twig is bent, so grows the tree."

Not at all. Perfect strategy. First the victim did not want her name used. still_one Sep 2018 #61

She did ask questions, didn't she? That's why Kavanaugh denied it? nt Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #52

She asked something about sexual assault in the hearings? FBaggins Sep 2018 #57

Oh. I guess she couldn't ask, because she couldn't identify the accuser. nt Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #60

Kavanaugh in trouble now, GOP can no longer attack an anonymous letter but there is now a face to it sunonmars Sep 2018 #11

Much worse than I expected from the bits leaking out Ms. Toad Sep 2018 #12

Now we know why the GOP had that "letter" ready to back him....They knew he was a predator. sunonmars Sep 2018 #13

You are misinformed as to how this went down. phleshdef Sep 2018 #44

She said that shouldn't be the reason LostinRed Sep 2018 #46

Seconded. This accusation was going nowhere without the accuser. bettyellen Sep 2018 #47

I don't think she will be the last to come out with accusations about this judge. ooky Sep 2018 #27

That's what I think it would take FBaggins Sep 2018 #39

My fear is that the other women he has attacked Ilsa Sep 2018 #49
