    One could read that two different ways. I know which way you meant it though.

    ...uhhh, that what I said. You were asked "what she had to gain" and you answered by pointing to money and then proceeded to stand by that claim for multiple posts afterwards.
    ...again, would you like me to repost your quotes for you?

    Go ahead. You said motive. Not the same as what she "had to gain"

    ...uhhh, that IS motive...in addition to reposting your earlier drivel, would you also like the definition of the word "motive"?

    ...here you go, no charge;

    mo·tive
    ˈmōdiv/
    noun
    1. 1. a reason for doing something, especially one that is hidden or not obvious.

    "A friend of Christine Blasey Ford is speaking out publicly for the first time to deny an allegation that Ford lied during testimony when she said she had never given advice on how to take a polygraph.
    Monica McLean, a retired FBI agent and friend of Ford, told CNN that the "allegations are completely false."
    She told CNN that she is furious that her reputation is now being called into question by a "lie" that has thrust her into the national spotlight. McLean spoke to CNN after a sworn declaration questioning the veracity of Ford's testimony was leaked to Fox News after being provided to the Judiciary Committee."

    @yankeesince59 , do you have a link to that article? Not saying you're making it up or anything, but I'd like to see what she thinks the leak was. If it's a document with her declaration in it, I don't see how it's an "allegation". If it's something else, good to know.

    You can have something to gain when doing something and that won't be the reason (motive) you do something.

    So pretty please, post what I said and show me where i said that money and fame was the reason she came forward. I never said that. It was something to gain, but not the motive.

    And, for professional development, I'm always stoked to learn new words while reading about current event. In this case, gotterdammerung, which isn't just a Drumpf-ian way of saying "goddamned".

    I think she means the boyfriends letter, not hers. It isn't clear to me the boyfriends letter ever went to judiciary, the news reports just said that Fox had obtained it. But maybe it did.

    ...Jesus tap dancing Christ...as I just posted, "something to gain" is the same as "motive".

    ...you're simply now arguing for the sake of arguing and saving face...when it's clear you're full of shit.

    If you run a marathon and get a free t-shirt at the end and a medal, the medal and the t-shirt is something that you gain however it's not the motive you do the marathon

    ...that just has to be the worst analogy I've ever heard....and a very weak one to boot.

    ...here ya go, Mensa...read from here ;#1559

    ...a few posts later you said "she gained fame and fortune by doing this despite what people claim to the contrary." (money from gofundme account)




    ...you're welcome.

    And I never said it was her motive. And I am correct, as usual.

    But misinterpretation and jumping to conclusions ahead of time seems to be you and your side's forte.

    Just more Trump Derangement Syndrome

    Yes. Motive is the reason for doing something, and having something to gain is just having something to gain. Its stated she has nothing to gain but she did she had money and fame almost a million bucks and that's only the money we know about. I do think that the reason she came forward was either as I stated before that she is so deranged and anti Trump that she will stop at anything to stop anything he does or that she was infatuated with Kavanaugh and this is her way of getting back at him many years later
