Honestly I'm more interested in how rapey magically paid off all his debts last year.
The world's greatest deliberative body shouldn't hurry judgement just because there's an election around the corner.
Isn't making the right call on a lifetime appointment worth it?

What's your conspiracy?
I have none. I would like for him to say how it was all paid off last year.
Pretty simple.

You have automatically assumed she is lying because it benefits red team.
See how that works?
I give the benefit to just about any woman who makes such claims, because they almost universally are telling the truth, if you think that I make an exception in this case, you are wrong.
Repeating your lie about what I believe will not make your lie any more true the 2nd or 3rd time around.
I'd like to see your authoritative source along with sample size.
She took a polygraph and passed. And Is ASKING to be investigated.
if Kavanaugh has nothing to hide he should ask to be investigated himself. But he seems dead quiet.
polygraph exams are hot garbage. that's why they're not admissible in court.
Yet and still, she has witnesses. And is asking to be investigated. People who make up allegations don’t ask to be investigated by the FBI
Critical thinking question:
What percentage of rape accusations are, in fact, false?
Researchers say it is pretty small. I predicted you would ignore evidence to that effect, because it means you would have to challenge your underlying assumption that Republicans can't do bad things.
You blew right past it, as predicted.
the Senate should look into it. it probably won't though.
[White House spokesman Raj Shah] told The Post that Kavanaugh’s friends reimbursed him for their share of the baseball tickets and that the judge has since stopped purchasing the season tickets.
what's your conspiracy?
Why sure. That is a good thing.
All things told, from everything I have read getting a good handle on the exact number is hard, mainly because of the way statistics are compiled, and often, not even reported in the first place.
Getting the actual statistics, and understanding what you are looking at involves a few confounding factors that should be understood first.
Let's start by examining why women who are telling the truth may sometimes falsely recant:

From there on to what we can know.
This White House usually tells the truth?
We can start with the first study I ran across. First sample 136.
Lisak D1, Gardinier L, Nicksa SC, Cote AM. (2010)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21164210
it's their official statement. the alternative would be a conspiracy theory
We have one beginning study, that points to others, but some more context in terms of getting to know how statistics are compiled, and how that is difficult to get really good data.
First reporting, like many things is voluntary:
https://www.nsvrc.org/sites/default/...-Reporting.pdfSince 1929, crime data, such as
reported rapes, has been submitted
voluntarily by police departments
regarding certain crimes. The data
becomes a part of the federal report
known as the Uniform Crime Report
(UCR). Through the UCR, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issues
guidelines and definitions related to
processing sexual assault cases.
Although not all police departments
follow these guidelines, they do seek
to process and clear cases from their
active case log. UCR identifies three
main ways to clear a case: cleared
by arrest, cleared by exception,
and unfounded (Archambault &
Lonsway, 2007). Each category has
subdivisions. The unfounded category
has two subdivisions: false allegations
and baseless.
I could march through the rest of the studies, but the above white paper summarizes a lot of what we do know.
Thousands of samples out of quite a few research papers.A multi-site study of eight U.S. communities
including 2,059 cases of sexual assault found
a 7.1 percent rate of false reports (Lonsway,
Archambault, & Lisak, 2009).
y A study of 136 sexual assault cases in Boston
from 1998-2007 found a 5.9 percent rate
of false reports (Lisak et al., 2010).
y Using qualitative and quan ative analysis,
researchers studied 812 reports of sexual
assault from 2000-2003 and found a 2.1
percent rate of false reports (Heenan
& Murray 2006).
Enough to get a reasonable, evidence based conclusion:
Women generally do not lie.
Inconsistencies, despite what CosmicCowboy is so desperate to prove to support his "Republicans can't do any bad things" theory seems to imply, don't mean women are not truthful generally about these physical assaults.
Want to deny some more science on this Darrin?
What's your conspiracy? Did the big bad woman make it up so she can have the pleasure of fleeing her home from death threats?
She has an opportunity to her story. What science am I denying, btw?
This is what she should have done from the start. Someone gave her terrible advice when she said the only way she'd testify is if there is an FBI investigation. Now she's having to backtrack.
Her testifying will have more immediate impact on the senators who are on the fence. If she makes a compelling argument this guy is finished. Instead she gave the republicans a reason to say welp, lets vote.
That said, pretty pathetic how she's getting death threats by rape enablers. Republicans voters have no morals.
Garland would disagree
Truthful women often wait.
She has told her story to more than one person, years before now.
The science that says that women rarely make things up. Read up a few posts.
Stay tuned
