Well hello there Justice Kavanaugh

[Ric Flair]

Corroborating evidence might be a calendar, produced by the accused, demonstrating he attended a party drinking with the exact people Ford alleged. Unfortunately, the partisan prosecutor barely scratched that surface. 

Some of the same people were listed. Others weren’t. It’s unclear if Ford was at that party. 

It’s unsurprising that Kavanaugh hung out with his friends...and that he drank with them. Is that corroboration that Ford was probably there and he probably sexually assaulted her? Of course not.

 

[Ric Flair]

OMG SPOILERS!!!!!

It's more fun to dole it out piecemeal.  Let him keep embarrassing himself.

What’s embarrassing is watching Trump-hating liberals like you engage in these sorts of histrionics. 

Ford’s account was simply not credible. Pretending otherwise is based on pure politics.

So, you're not denying that's corroborating evidence, right?

 

[Ric Flair]

So, you're not denying that's corroborating evidence, right?

A calendar that shows that he once hung out with some friends and drank some beers?

Is that all you’ve got?  :lol:

That’s your corroboration?

Rick said Blasey Ford "lacked any whatsoever" in reference to corroborating evidence.  He either doesn't understand what corroborating evidence is or is lying to people here who will believe him if he attacks "the libs," because what I posted is just one point of corroborating evidence in her story.  There are more. 

Is it or is it not corroborating evidence?

It’s corroborating in the same way that if you alleged my dog bit you and I denied it, you could prove I once walked near a dog and claim that corroborated your claim.  :lol:

This is hilarious. The best part is that you seem to think you’re somehow winning this argument.

The hilarious part to me is how you still haven't said one way or the other if it is corroborating evidence

I think what Ric, Dewiz, and others want as "corroborating evidence" is physical evidence.  Which isn't what corroborating evidence always is but it's what they want.

They write off the audio tape of Trump as just "locker room talk" instead of corroborating evidence that he has assaulted women in the past so I don't think you're going to get anywhere with them.

 

[HuskerNation1]

Plenty? You’ve pointed to the fact they seem to have known each other back then. That’s “plenty” of corroborating evidence that he sexually assaulted her?

And I’m the one who doesn’t understand what corroborating evidence is? 

:lol:

Yes he keeps digging himself in a hole with this one.  Essentially if one of his high school classmates accused him of sexual assault he is suggesting that the fact that they knew him is enough to corroborate their allegation of sexual assault.  Totally mind blowing.

Rick is demanding proof, not corroboration.  There are three possibilities why this is happening:

1.  He genuinely doesn't know what corroborating evidence is, thinks it's proof, and thus is demanding proof.  @QMany could probably educate him on this if he so desired, but I would recommend billing him for his time.

2.  He does know what corroborating evidence is, but is pretending he doesn't/this isn't because he is intentionally obfuscating the conversation. Perhaps in an attempt to "own the libs" or whatever noble goal the Cons have these days.

3.  He's intentionally obfuscating the conversation to dupe people.  Unfortunately, that seems to be working:

Rick could clear this up and move on by simply providing the legal definition of corroborating evidence, but (probably disingenuously) he's refusing to do that.

Quick question...anyone know what corroborating evidence is?  I hear this is the place to find out...okay back to my beach house...I gotta finish my bench reps at 315 ten times.

They’re completely clueless. It’s frankly hilarious.

Corroborating evidence is obviously evidence that backs up one’s claims and helps to prove that it is true. So in a sense, it is a form of a proof, as it helps to prove one’s claims.

The fact that after being asked repeatedly, you can only point to Ford and Kavanaugh knowing each other as corroboration of her claim that he attempted to rape her is pretty mind-blowing. 

There’s really nothing else? She doesn’t know where it was, when it was, whose house it was, how she got there, how she got home, or any other key details, and the people she claimed were there deny being there or having any idea what she’s talking about. She said she can’t fly in planes because she’s scared, but flies all the time. She claimed she has two front doors to her house so she’ll feel safe, but it turns out that’s a common dodge people use so they can rent part of their homes. 

Nothing she has said checks out.

But hey, she said she knew him back then and it appears she did. So when she says he tried to rape her, we should just go ahead and believe her...right?

DUMBEST....ARGUMENT...EVER....
