    Or you could say that either Kristen Ford or Tara Reade bottled up their stories for years out of fear/shame, and only decided to come forward when they did to prevent a person they think is a monster from being in an ultra powerful position. Seems like a pretty good time to speak up, honestly. You can spin it either way but the fact is nobody knows the truth/motives for sure. It’s certainly split along party lines though.

    But there I go getting all #metoo again. So last year.

    They are both educated women and politically active, they would know its best to bring the stuff out when there wasn't an election or confirmation going on. You are correct in that nobody knows the truth as yet anyway.
    Watch, there will another accusation against Trump or maybe Pense before the elections.

    Also plausible. But wrong to do so.
    So let them go on to potentially do the same to others instead of trying to stop him if they never run?

    Except Reade's story appears more like swiss cheese than a swiss watch.

    I'm talking about feeble minded people period. Although I have no proof, and I'm sure anecdotal proof will be posted once I post this, I would bet that they get tricked at a higher rate than those who are more educated and intellectual.

    Aha, this means that Trump is a sure winner in November. You should bet me and make an easy mint.

    I've NEVER seen anyone in here post anything like that. Perhaps you could bring up an example with the thread and the number of the offending post.

    Garden? I love to tend to a vegetable garden. My current home has precious little space for vegetable gardening. We've squeezed in six tomato plants, a slicing cucumber plant, some Korean perilla leaf plants used for making a delicious mint like kim chee, a raspberry bush, Korean hot pepper plant and a Korean egg plant. Wish to the high heaven that we could grow more like we used to.
    Please continue to show us pictures of your garden, they brighten my days.

    Anecdotal is correct. And it looks liked nobody swooped in to back you up, so you still have no proof.

    Your hypothesis that maybe, just maybe, stupid people are easier to trick than smart people is really compelling. Well done. I think you may be onto something.

    Now the only task at hand is to prove that everyone who disagrees with you is dumber than you. That really is the gist of what you’re saying, isn’t it? That one's not quite as easy to prove.

    no, the jist of it was that stupid people are gullible. Has nothing to do with whether or not someone agrees with me or not. That's called projection on your part.

    The idea that Reade's claim is full of holes is not only compelling...it's also factual.

    Edit; FIFM and FIF-eblazer.

    I just diagrammed your sentence and I’m pretty sure you just said Reade’s claim is not full of holes?

    The dumb and the greedy are the most easily conned. Don't believe me? Just ask Trump.
