In support of Dr. Ford

I also am unsure what to make of her accusations. I listen to the innocence project podcast, which is a great podcast run by very left wing people, and the two most common things that lead to wrongful convictions are sexual assault allegations and false witness identification.

Listen to a good thirty episodes of that and you realize how fragile memory is and how many people have been falsely sent to prison because someone said they were 100% sure it was that person they saw.

So it's nice to say "believe women" but I'll stick to the Atheist mantra of "believe evidence"

OMG, that is a completely different subject. 

People can and do get accused of crimes they didn't commit. Trump vilified these guys, "The Central Park Five", whom all turned out to be innocent. Notice the pattern? Like Mexicans and arabs, he loves vilifying innocent minorities. 

None of what you typed has to do with the STATS that false accusations of assault and or rape ARE EXTREMELY RARE! Just like we cannot physically see the center of a black hole, there are formulas and physics that give us a damned good idea what goes on. Ford isn't the only one accusing him, and he fucking lied about his alcohol use. And again, this oversimplification is an INSULT to my mother, whom also could not remember all the details of her rape.

Nope sorry, what we are seeing coming from the right is glaringly obvious. They care nothing about minorities or women and they are stuck in the old white boy's club born out of religious fear and religious nationalism.

Thanks for telling me that stats exist but not providing me with any. The caps locks and explanation points made up for it though.
