Good thing he isn’t the only one -
So, one guy who didn’t witness it and says might have happened vs. those who were supposedly present who say it didn’t and would not have happened.

You should come up with another rationale to ignore the Ramirez accusation, because her classmates actually contacted the press prior to the Ford accusation going public.
Whoops.
Seriously, if Merrick Garland had received a fraction of this much rapey attention, I’d be begging Obama to find someone new. But Rapeublicans just double down on what an amazing dude he is.
So…some people say one thing, and other people say another thing.
I wonder if some sort of “investigation” (to coin a word) would be called for to sort this whole thing out.
Quick, think of a reason not to investigate! Hurry, before more women come forward!!!
It looks very similar to the Avenatti one. So Ford, Rodriguez, and some unspecified number of women averred by Avenatti.

Well, only if the “some” means “one” in the first instance. As in one person says one thing, and the four other people allegedly involved say the opposite, and another person says another thing, and at least some of those she claims witnessed it say the opposite.
This isn’t so much “he said-she said” - more like “she said-nobody else said and everyone who is accused of being involved says otherwise”.

Are you just picking random Latin names? Seems like if you’re going to have an opinion on the issues you should educate yourself a little first.
Not really. The number of accusations with any supporting evidence is, still, zero. The number of actual allegations is 2. These both may change, and if they do, like any reasonable person, I’ll change my opinion with the facts. But right now, no reasonable person (who was not a victim or attacker) could possibly believe that Kavanaugh is, in fact, a sexual predator.
There is a difference between saying “I don’t believe what you are saying is true” and “I believe what you are saying is not true”. The first is the reasonable response to the current allegations. The latter is not, the evidence against them is not yet strong enough. But the idea that Kavanaugh should be treated as anything other than innocent at this moment in time is, to put it bluntly, batshit crazy.
Wrong!
So…you’re calling her a liar?
At which point, no-one is ever appointed to a position of power again, as anyone can make an unsupported allegation. Thinking that multiple unsupported allegations mean anything more than a single one is neither sane, ethical nor intelligent. Zero plus zero is still zero, no matter how many time you iterate.
Or…and here’s a crazy thought…when credible accusations arise we investigate them.
Did I just blow your mind?
No, it’s entirely correct. Of course, I can’t prove that, as proving a negative is impossible (despite what you and others here expect Kavanaugh to do). But if there were any support for the allegations, it would have been repeatedly posted here. Sadly, we just have you and others saying “Wrong!”, or much longer posts that could be summed up with that word, containing no actual information.
Full marks for brevity, though.
The supporting information for Ford’s allegation has been repeatedly posted here. It’s not at all hard to find.
No, it isn’t.
This guy claimed to have read all the posts in the thread, but apparently missed the ones about the multiple rape accusations. Then, after asking for and receiving a cite, he *still *confused Judge’s confession to his girlfriend with Avenatti’s rape accusations.
I guess I’m saying that finding the supporting information might be more difficult for some people than for others.
Who is “we”, though? It’s certainly not me, and unless you’re a detective in the relevant jurisdiction it’s not you. Which is really the point. These allegations are being reported to the wrong people at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons, with no support, and people are asking for the wrong agency to investigate.
The investigation that has been done, by journalists, has unearthed only denials that anyone who was supposedly at these parties actually attended - or at least, that they were so unmemorable that they don’t recall them. I don’t know about you, but had I attended a party where girls were screaming for help, or being gang-raped, I’d sure as hell remember it.
New Avenatti Tweet:
No, it’s certainly not you, seeing as how you’re not even an American (though are awfully concerned with dismissing sexual assault accusations related to American politics).
“We” is the American people. And the FBI is the right agency to investigate (you may have missed the explanation of this despite “reading all the posts in the thread”)
Kavanaugh put his hand over Ford’s mouth to keep her from calling out (did you miss that when you read all the posts?).
In the other rape cases, Kavanaugh drugged the girls (did you also miss that)? And the men invited to the party were presumably Kavanaugh’s frat brothers, who were there for the gang rape, so probably less interested in stopping it than they should have been.
Avenetti has made no actual accusation, he’s simply hinted that there might be one (or more) in the future. As yet it is nothing, not even an allegation, but an unsupported allegation of an allegation.
As for Ford, there is no evidence the party happened, different stories told to her therapist and in the recent letter, and the one person who claims to have heard rumours about it in the past has recanted that. All the people she claims were at the party deny it, and no-one appears to have heard anything about Kavanaugh doing anything like he is accused of.
So, once again, where’s the support? Where are the other allegations? They don’t (currently) exist.
It sucks that you’re likely to have a shit judge on the supreme court, but it would be far worse to have a precedent for denying one for such bad reasons.
