Again, the alleged event happened right in the middle of the Packwood sex scandal. The Republicans would've loved to have had it been one of one (one R vs one D). They didn't. If there was any time that it would've been welcomed, that was the time. Past allegations, of which NONE WERE SEXUAL ASSAULT. Her story has changed, dramatically. Usually sexual assault victims don't drastically change their stories. They don't hide who did what to them, when they do tell people. They don't all the sudden remember, after years (or even months) of saying it was non sexual, to flat out saying "oh wait, I forgot. I wasn't wearing panty hose and he stuck his hand in my vagina". Silly me, I forgot. Not to mention that witnesses accounts don't tend to all agree with everything and then all change their stories after the main witness changed their story.
There certainly are a lot of questions to be answered. Nonetheless, as I mentioned earlier, we shall see. I found this to be an interesting article... https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-...-allegation-can-strengthen-the-metoo-movement
Well, one thing's for certain, she's agreed to take the polygraph...and has asked that Biden submit to it, as well.
Dude, I'm already setting up the pay-per-view! At any rate, should be a far superior event to the Billie Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs debacle.
Well, at least she's open to it.... https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...tion/202001/do-lie-detector-tests-really-work So, does the polygraph actually work? Are the results accurate? It does work much of the time. Typically, when someone is lying, a well-trained polygraph examiner can tell. It is not 100% accurate though. The American Polygraph Association is the world's leading association dedicated to the use of evidence-based scientific methods for credibility assessment. It is an organization whose members are largely polygraph examiners. They estimate the accuracy of the polygraph to be 87%. That is, in 87 out of 100 cases, the polygraph can accurately determine if someone is lying or telling the truth.
This is what the American Psychological Association has to say about polygraphs, which comports with what I've generally seen about them: Polygraph testing has generated considerable scientific and public controversy. Most psychologists and other scientists agree that there is little basis for the validity of polygraph tests. Courts, including the United States Supreme Court (cf. U.S. v. Scheffer, 1998 in which Dr.'s Saxe's research on polygraph fallibility was cited), have repeatedly rejected the use of polygraph evidence because of its inherent unreliability. Nevertheless, polygraph testing continues to be used in non-judicial settings, often to screen personnel, but sometimes to try to assess the veracity of suspects and witnesses, and to monitor criminal offenders on probation. Polygraph tests are also sometimes used by individuals seeking to convince others of their innocence and, in a narrow range of circumstances, by private agencies and corporations. The development of currently used "lie detection" technologies has been based on ideas about physiological functioning but has, for the most part, been independent of systematic psychological research. Early theorists believed that deception required effort and, thus, could be assessed by monitoring physiological changes. But such propositions have not been proven and basic research remains limited on the nature of deceptiveness. Efforts to develop actual tests have always outpaced theory-based basic research. Without a better theoretical understanding of the mechanisms by which deception functions, however, development of a lie detection technology seems highly problematic. For now, although the idea of a lie detector may be comforting, the most practical advice is to remain skeptical about any conclusion wrung from a polygraph. https://www.apa.org/research/action/polygraph There's a lot more information at the link, that was just the conclusion.
But, of course. It's why I included the link. As mentioned, though, at least she's offered. If I'm not mistaken, applying for many government jobs require taking a polygraph test.
I hope I never have to take one that address's some thing I may have done 50 years back, like going in a nude mud bath tent at Vortex, Im sure I pinched an ass or two, after I was pinched first!
Well, we're still trying to see if Big Foot exists, little green men are captives in Area 51, Kennedy was assassinated by LBJ and the moon landing was all staged in a setup using trick photography. Some crap never goes away. Now, excuse me but I've got an appointment to go visit Elvis.
Well, this may very well be what it all boils down to for the left... https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opini...nightmare-women-me-warned-america-ncna1196746 So come November, I'll do what LaCasse has said she will do — vote for a man I believed sexually assaulted Reade. And it will turn my stomach. But while we deserved better than Biden, no one deserves another four years of Trump.
Funny how you seem to be calling out people for supporting Biden, who you seem to believe sexually assaulted someone, but turn the blind eye to the multiple, actual documented accusations against the guy you support.
