    Do people know that in high school 5 people don't constitute a party? 50 is a party.https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/1043953411232813056 …

    The calendars show he was out of town much of the summer at the beach or with his parents and they detail basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and so forth. A few parties are mentioned but include names of people other than those identified by Blasey Ford.

        5 people was hanging out, 5 people drinking together was something done on the sly. My friends used to "party" in the sand dunes, it still wasn't something that was planned, an event, it's just where kids hung out.

        I think I'd have to jump through major hoops to figure out the date when 5 of us got high before a concert the same day my neighborhood got shut down bc there was a gunman in the neighborhood. And I could look at concert schedules to get close.

        Right, that's sort of my point. I remember OF 3 parties from high school. One (which I was recently reminded of) when I got or gave some really nasty hickeys. One when the cops came to the punk party with tons of crystal meth (which I didn't partake of). And the gunman one.

        The only ones I remember were because of shear size. 23 kegs, not just teens but adults, and someone lit a mag block on fire and i thought the fire was amazing.

        I went to two high schools. In SoCal, where we hot tub hopped our way through the year, it didn't count as a party unless 40 people or more were there.

        If you’re keeping calendars from 36 years ago then you’re either trying to produce an alibi or you’re a hoarder.

        Dr Ford's letter to Feinstein only described it as a "gathering" and never mentions the word "party" The original Washington Post article does refer to a "party", but never in quotes. It's a subtle thing but I also believe words matter!

        Who keeps 35 year old calendars? Who notates their calendar when they plan to rape someone? I call bullshit.

        Wow the GOP and Kavanaugh himself apparently will stop at nothing for his confirmation.This all seems to have been decided before Kennedy’s retirement. Would love to see all the memos from the beginning

        But on the wall calendar it gets called “movie outing with three very boring friends, definitely not Mark, I don’t hang out with him anymore mom, why would you think that?”

        If the calendar doesn’t mention Keg City Club or “100 kegs or bust”, I wouldn’t rely on it to document his behavior.
