@DannyDrinksWine Wahlberg killed it. Absolutely perfect for that role.

Well, she's made a fair amount of money in the aftermath of incident. A 600K gofundme, tens of thousands in speaking fees, and I don't know what compensation she received for her book, but I think it can reasonably be assumed that it wasn't chump change. I have no way of knowing to what extent these earnings were offset by expenses (security, etc.) resulting from the affair.

As to reputation, she was definitely feted by the left, and she had to be aware of the example of Anita Hill. She was an obscure teacher at an obscure university before this, so probably not a huge downside from the incident.

I'm not saying that these benefits alone constitute powerful motives. But they might well be part of a larger picture.

[TruthMaxxer @Reasonmaxxing]

If your argument is only that it's *possible* that pro lifers are behind the threats, I'd agree. It's also *possible* that the couple is lying about receiving the death threats. If you're moving beyond the claim that it's possible and are actually accusing pro lifers, which is what the OP did, you need concrete evidence.

@Libs_OfChicago @ICEgov Thirst trap. Next lol.

[TruthMaxxer @Reasonmaxxing]

@Imrans08 @JamesTate121 You're accusing folks of issuing death threats. That's an extremely serious accusation, especially against folks who define themselves as pro life. You need to have more than just speculation to support an accusation like that.

@MattWalshBlog Note that the gentleman interviewed later in the clip said that he didn't think Karmelo should get off free, but that he objected to the Murder 1 charge. That's not tribal.

[TruthMaxxer @Reasonmaxxing]

Perhaps one way to think of it is this (and I'm just spit-balling): by her own admission, Ford remembers almost nothing of what happened on that occasion beyond the alleged assault itself. The only other detail she claims to have recalled -- Keyser's presence -- was refuted by Keyser herself (even while she underscored her support for Ford more generall). Keyser said not only that she wasn't present but that she hadn't ever even met Kavanaugh. So Ford had to have known that her memory of the incident was faulty. Maybe when people claim that Ford's lying, what they're really saying is that she recklessly disregarded the truth. She nearly destroyed Kavanaugh's life based on recollections whose accuracy she had good reason to doubt. Again, just wondering aloud.

@SouthernKeeks @jarvis_best Because Da Pope now lives in the Vatican?

[TruthMaxxer @Reasonmaxxing]

@DCTalks1009 @baseballcrank IIRC correctly, she didn't identify Kavanaugh by name in her therapist sessions. As for her husband, if one believes Ford herself is lying, it's not difficult to believe her husband was also lying.

[TruthMaxxer @Reasonmaxxing]

@Imrans08 @JamesTate121 lol you've got it backwards, bro. It's not up to prolifers (or anyone else) to prove they didn't do something. If you believe they're responsible, you need to cite affirmative evidence for your claim. What evidence do you have that they did it?

[TruthMaxxer @Reasonmaxxing]

@Imrans08 @JamesTate121 Just about anyone but folks who consider themselves pro life.

@Yayayoyo43 @JamesTate121 A couple "actively using pro choice"?

[TruthMaxxer @Reasonmaxxing]

There's evidence that Ford lied about some issues that were peripheral to her story about Kavanaugh. Her account of her encounter with Kavanaugh was almost certainly false on at least one point (Leland Keyser's presence at the party). That might be explained as an honest mistake. But given her story's overall lack of corroboration, it doesn't seem unreasonable for folks to conclude she was lying.

A fair point, but a sizable percentage of people with Down syndrome are only mildly disabled. They aren't reading Nietzsche, but they're functioning at a high enough level to get the gist of what people are saying about them. People obviously have a right to say what they want on the topic, but they shouldn't take false comfort in the notion that their words won't be understood by lots of developmentally disabled folks.

@D9N9ABI9 You don't think The Worm took it a little too far lol?
