Did they go to high school parties in Maryland in the early 1980s?

The political climate in the states has reached unbelievable levels of ugliness. The hatred is awful to watch. Americans hate Americans. I think everyone needs to take a step back and just take some time to relax and calm down.
I don’t know why there is so much anger and hatred going on but I can’t imagine this is how you all actually want to be as people. You need to find some unity.
NO!!! I hate YOU!

Her best friend who was allegedly at this small party with her claims to have never even met Brett Kavanaugh - that is a rebuttal.
Mark Judge's statement having no recollection of the event as an alleged eye witness is a rebuttal.
The third individual has no memory of an event such as this party.
That's one rebuttal (judge), not three.
That her friend does not remembering meeting Kav does not rebutt her charge that Kav assaulted her. The "third individual" not remembering the party is also not a rebuttal. A rebuttal is a refutation or contradiction. There is not necessarily contradiction or refutation in either the friend or the third person's statements.

It was a small party and her best friend claimed not to have met Kav. At a small party isn't it beyond likely that the friend would have seen Kav?

Dr. Ford reported the story to her congressperson before Kavanaugh was even nominated.
Dr. Ford clearly didn't want to be in the position she's in.
There is zero reason to believe that Dr. Ford came forward for because of politics.
Dr. Ford never mentioned Kavanaugh's name to anyone before he was a possible nomination. Didn't mention his name to her husband or to her therapist. The first time she ever said it was him that did the assault was this year when he was on the short list. She is also making a ton of money from this.
He still impresses me at this thing.

Judge's statement doesn't refute or contradict Ford's allegation either. He neither corroborates or categorically denies the allegation.

Prove she is not. Should be easy, that's all you are asking the Judge to do.

Ford didn't make it up because of politics, but Dianne released it way too late of politics and then Ford lied about 'fear of flying' and about not knowing she could be interviewed in California to delay it another two weeks

That's not true. She did mention his name to both the therapist and her husband, years before Kavanaugh was on the short list.
There is no indication that she is making money from this. But if she eventually does then that's fine. She should be rewarded for her bravery.
I'm sure that Dr. Ford would rather have continued her quiet life as a professor, wife, and mother. She clearly loves that life she used to lead.

Prove that she did. You first. And have Judge testify so his side can be heard.
A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE FBI:
1) They have already investigated Kavanaugh six times.
2) They do not investigate sexual assault cases.
3) There is no evidence for them to investigate. Every "witness" has already given a sworn statement.
Dems insisting upon this is nothing but a delay tactic to push past the midterm election.
What most people didn't catch yesterday was when Grassley addressed the issue and told them any one of them could ask for an FBI investigation.
Feinstein said she did - and was denied by the FBI.
It's over Dems, you lost.

Dr. Ford never lied about a fear of flying. The fear of flying thing came from a press report whose source was apparently Dr. Ford's lawyer.
It's possible that it was all a misunderstanding. Dr. Ford testified that she doesn't like confined spaces and she attributes that to the attack. She testified that she doesn't like to fly and would probably never go to Australia (presumably) because the flight is so long. She does fly, but doesn't like it and may even have a fear of it. But people who fear flying still fly when they have to. Probably, her attorney misunderstood.

And no DA will touch this case, there is no corroboration, no evidence, no house address, nada.
Trump calls Ted Cruz "Lyin Ted," mocks his wife and says Cruz's dad helped murder JFK.
Trump belittles and mocks Jeff Flake at every opportunity.
But these 2 brave men have put all this aside to bravely vote for Kavanaugh.
Patriots and heroes, both of them.
The FBI could knock this down in two, three days tops.
The fact that the FBI is not actively pursuing this speaks volumes. Look for Rolling Stone or Vice or someplace like that digging into Kavanaugh now. The House and Senate will flip in the midterms, and you'll see the first-ever impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice.

I agree, or at least that is what has been reported (see the article below). One thing I find a bit interesting is the following excerpt:
"In an interview, her husband, Russell Ford, said that in the 2012 sessions, she recounted being trapped in a room with two drunken boys, one of whom pinned her to a bed, molested her and prevented her from screaming. He said he recalled that his wife used Kavanaugh’s last name and voiced concern that Kavanaugh — then a federal judge — might one day be nominated to the Supreme Court."
This was in 2012 and she was concerned at that time that he might one be nominated to the Supreme Court? Seems a bit strange to have made that connection in 2012, I don't think he was on anyone's radar back then.
