          It was such a horrific experience that she waited nearly 40 YEARS to report it . There has to be an investigation into how much money she’s making out of this. The pretence that people are innocent until proven guilty is once again proven to be nothing but a fallacy - Disgusting

          I'm 100% certain that she's a political actor speaking in bad faith.

          I agree. She's an actress. Who will earn plenty of money from all the publicity.

          Yeah. I'm sick and tired of having to hear these individual 'stories' of how they have overcome a trauma. If you want to read about trauma, try Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

          The same people that mindlessly believe people like Dr. Ford will in the same breath; snub Solzhenitsyn's work as being hyperbolic.

          She goes from a fuzzy memory to a full memory from someone who admitted she was drunk at the time? This is a joke.

          Exactly what I was thinking. Detailed description of the assault but no recollection of how she arrived or departed the party. Strange.

          she is 'sure' of no other fact... only that for sure it was K & that she only had 1 beer. period. nothing else. even though she is a memory expert & describes how memories are imprinted on the brain? As a survivor myself, I'm having a tough time believing she's telling the truth.

          Are you certain where it happened? No Are you certain when it happened? No Are you certain how many people were there? No Are you certain it was Kavanaugh? 100% 🤔
