I went 5 pages deep in the search links for that story you provided, and there wasn't a single credible news outlet listed, aside from a single story by The Hill which had nothing to do with the claim you're providing.
Instead of going 5 pages deep and making a big dramatic statement about credible new sources, you could have simply watched the actual video of her talking... and recanting with her mouth as the source. That is why they didn't investigate further. You can lead a horse to water...

Of course Dr. Ford will not be charged with perjury. Why? Because she is credible. And, of course, Kavanaugh will not be charged with perjury. Why? Because he is a privileged white male who is held to a different standard than the average citizen.
Actually, I hate to break this kind of news to people ...
But, the middle aged white male IS the "average citizen" in the United States.
I guess you are really telling us that the "average citizen" is more "privileged" than we knew.

Yet, it’s legit to allow people to use their ATM/credit cards while drunk?
Sorry visa, I was drunk while I maxed out my credit card. Technically, I cannot be held liable for the charges. I was drunk, and did not have the means to give consent to the online company to use my card.
Such a slippery slope......

It makes rape much more likely. Consent cannot be given while drunk.

So let me get this straight. If two people are drunk and having sex, at least one of them is getting raped? Probably both by your definition. Who then is the "more raped" person and how do you determine that?

Consent can and is given all the time by drunk parties. Do you listen to yourself and just laugh? Honestly, I am pretty sure you are just trolling people anyway, so whatever floats your boat.

That doesn't result in potentially life altering consequences.
Do you have money problems because of someone else’s drinking?
