(5,811 posts)And Mark Judge may have been involved with Kavanaugh in more than one attempted sexual assault.

(115,706 posts)Or maybe just Avenatti trying to get attention, since the spotlight has been elsewhere lately. We'll see, sooner or later.

(8,710 posts)I bet more than one woman. Kavanaugh did not marry till he was 39.

(2,150 posts)So far:
- one woman comes forward anonymously detailing an attempted rape that has continued to affect her
- somehow she is quickly identified. Either enterprising journalists interviewed enough former prep school students to piece it together or somebody who knew tipped them off
- this appears to have been standard operating procedure for Kavanaugh and friends and it continued through college at least
Reasonable inference: there are more victims and their stories are more horrific still
And you know there are good journalists doing the legwork, and more tips have to be coming in. There have to be other women weighing breaking their silence

(2,150 posts)The bits of Judge's "100 Kegs or Bust" that have made it into the news seem to confirm this was how they behaved. No statute of limitations applies on some of their assaults, no surprise Judge says he won't testify. Sadly no surprise Republicans won't subpoena him; odds are it would be a long and damning "I plead the 5th" exercise

The preceding comments warm my heart. For me, I've learned/now understand late in life how sexual assault women affects women.
They endure.
It is GOD DAM tramatic.
The white boys (not men) on the senate committee have their heads in their ass, trying to protect their status as opposed to looking out for the greater good of the rest of us/the citizens.
Earlier today I noted Dr Blasey is traveling cross country via ground transport. Do you think it is a result of her encounter when she was 15? I do.
There has been too much accomodation of their past for Brat K and his buddies. No ha ha here.
