L’accusatrice, inscrite sur les listes électorales en tant que démocrate, a pris ses précautions en s’attachant les services d’une avocate réputée dans ce type d’affaires, Debra Katz, qui l’a soumise avec succès selon le Washington Post à un détecteur de mensonges.Si Lie To Me m'a appris quelque chose, c'est que les détecteurs de mensonges peuvent seulement repérer des troubles passagers. Des faux-positifs peuvent intervenir sous le coup de divers émotions, tout comme on peut duper la machine avec des drogues ou un entraînement.

So, look, I just read the WaPo article on Kavanaugh and his (alleged, I guess) sexual assault, and I didn't realize, he's from Bethesda and went to Georgetown prep. I grew up in that area, and I gotta say, it makes this story a lot more believable. https://t.co/NP1YjP6JOD

For those not aware, Bethesda, Rockville, and the surrounding maryland-side DC suburbs are an absurdly privileged area. A huge percentage of the residents are lawyers and lobbyists, and they all sent their kids to a small set of private schools.

For context, I didn't go to one of said private schools, but a few of these politikids wound up in public school w/ me. These kids are raised, from a young age, to think they're better than anyone around them.

To shed some insight on the attitude bred into these people, the Landon School for Boys, the brother-school of the school the victim (Ford) attended, had a famous sexual assault problem. Their lacrosse team has been associated with, iirc, 2 brutal sexual assault cases.

Point being, knowing firsthand the culture, I can practically gurantee the victim is telling the truth. Her story sounds entirely too similar to the kinds of stories I used to hear those privileged shitheads brag about in high school. Brett Kavanaugh is a rapist, I have 0 doubts.
