She did claim that, or at least her lawyer did. After it was pointed out that Ford had in fact flown all over the world, they stopped saying this.

No, pretty clear to me that the frat boy showed his rapeyness to the country. But what can you do? He is in the rich boys club. Rape is part of their thing. Seems like trump is into it also.
Pretty clear to me you're retarded. How did he show his rapeyness?
He is clearly an angry alcoholic. Drunks can't restrain themselves. Most rapes are associated with alcohol or drugs. Drunky frat boy most likely did a few attempted rapes in his time. Are you ok with rich frat boys raping and getting away with it?

Good for her. Maybe that is payback for almost being raped.
Perhaps someone tried to at some point. But it wasn't Kavenaugh. Literally not one person could testify that the two of them ever even met, let alone attended a party together.

*Honesty is the best policy*? You must be forgetting how credible she is. You don't believe this brave survivor? Are you a violent, drunken monster? Of course we must believe her. She is a woman, isn't she?
Could you (klondike) please provide scientific evidence (links) regarding your comment on how most rapes are associated with drugs and/or alcohol?
Please dont forget to provide evidence from India and muslim countries where raping women is basically an every day occurence...

She does not even realize what kind of danger she put herself in by testifying. And it's not just now, someone may wait a year or two and hurt her and her family then. No amount of money can make up for exposing herself to the worst of the worst on the extreme right.
She may get bombs sent to her, she may get followed, she and her family may have to move and so on.

Democrats seem to be pushing book offers to bribe people to slam the Republicans. It is perfectly legal. I do not believe Ford, she seems to be a con in this matter, now she will be getting rich for causing chaos with twisted truths. Nobody is even backing her up, the few people she said were there say they do not know what she is talking about.

Personally, I do think she suffered some kind of assault at some point.
However, and this is a very important point....her total lack of recall, and lack of any supporting evidence (not even ONE of the potential folks she mentioned, could corroborate her story), makes it impossible to connect this ordeal with Kavannaugh.
Forget the legal aspect of it being way past statute, etc. Just from a common sense perspective, not one person can put her and Kavannaugh together here.
Now add in the obvious political timing, of this event that allegedly happened over 30 years ago....and its just ridiculous.
This is the hard part. I want to sympathize with her as a victim, and I do, but at the same time, it's obvious she really doesn't remember the details and is being directed to pin it on this person for political gain. This deception basically negates the empathy, and she just came off as another political shill. Not to even mention how disgusting of a tactic it was in the first place. I don't blame Ford near as much as I blame Feinstein for all of this nonsense.
