@filmfae Once you hit your mid-30s, if you also tend to smoke weed before you watch movies, it might just mean “I started this at 8 pm and fell asleep off and on during it”
@AlafrigginBama Well yeah because coaching salaries exploded over a longer period of time while player pay was illegally prohibited. So player salary has grown quickly
@5K10KMarathon@JanCBS Haha my mom has a terrible fear of flying but has flown internationally several times before. She steels herself up bht it’s a lot. And Ford just requested to be interviewed in California over it? You think that proves anything lol?
@5K10KMarathon@JanCBS Ah ok well he definitely lied about the blackout drinking haha. There was so much evidence even in his own calendars that he was lying. Plus his whiny indignation gave the game away
@5K10KMarathon@JanCBS And her parents clearly kind of suck lol, but even then the source for your statement seems to be the Washington examiner or some other bs source lol
@5K10KMarathon@JanCBS I just said I tended to believe her since the other guy very obviously lied. And yes details might be missed like the exact place given it was a random house party. I bet you think Kavanaugh told the truth when he said he never drank in high school.
@Lord_Chewie@VanAllenPlexico This is sort of an absurd premise though. Anakin was a great pilot but a trained Jedi. The clones wouldn’t just assume his untrained son with no flight experience should be given a leadership role. Leia also didn’t know him well enough put him in leadership roles
@5K10KMarathon@JanCBS Also there is no motivation for Ford to lie and Kavanaugh undoubtedly lied extensively at his confirmation hearing. So I tend to believe the person with no motivation to lie vs the guy who definitely lied
@5K10KMarathon@JanCBS I’m saying her friend saying that she personally didn’t meet Kavanaugh is not proof that Ford lied. It just means she didn’t have corroboration. If she didn’t tell the friend what happened then and friend was just at what was a random party to her, friend may not remember
@Brien_Jackson I would say Cillizza is certainly trying to tie this to an “all Democrats” thing with how he phrases this, which is also a ridiculous thing to say. Especially since it sounds like the establishment and most Dems are very queasy about Platner.
@Brien_Jackson That’s also kind of crazy since the accusations against Trump are both more severe, proven in court, and he ran on a nationwide basis. Platner would get completely waxed if he tried to run in a wider race. Maine is one of only states he’d have any shot in
@Brien_Jackson Was more just saying it’s not exactly spot on when he’s misrepresenting the message. I find the accusations against Platner highly credible so am not having any trouble squaring it in this situation. But Cillizza is also in other posts trying to equate Trump and Platner
@Brien_Jackson The primary message arising from MeToo was not to reflexively believe a woman is lying or to knee-jerk question it. In past women were not believed to an appropriate degree, so MeToo was more about pushing fair treatment of accusations and not dismissal
@Brien_Jackson But it does. Most people who add the “all” are doing so to deliberately misrepresent the idea that MeToo was about just believing any accusation. Some in media may have been overly accepting of flimsy allegations, but they still were rarely saying every woman must be truthful
