New drinking game!
Everyone have a shot every time a democrat senator says, "Penis".
A double shot for, "Fake Penis".
A precaution. Don't watch CNN. They like to say that word a lot.
Only applies to C-Span.
To be clear, Cuomo and Maddow (along with other liberal talking heads) don’t count as “penis”, fake or otherwise? I just want to make sure I have the appropriate amount of adult beverages on hand.
I’ve known this all along,” he said. “It’s been on my mind all these years when his name came up. It was a big deal.” The story stayed with him, he said, because it was disturbing and seemed outside the bounds of typically acceptable behavior, even during heavy drinking at parties on campus.

"outside the bounds of typically acceptable behavior"
At a college dorm party? in the 80's?
I saw a man completely naked, running around outside at MSU at a dorm party. He wasn't even drunk. Now I wish I had gotten his name.

As Senate Republicans press for a swift vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Senate Democrats are investigating a new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh. The claim dates to the 1983-84 academic school year, when Kavanaugh was a freshman at Yale University. The offices of at least four Democratic senators have received information about the allegation, and at least two have begun investigating it. Senior Republican staffers also learned of the allegation last week and, in conversations with The New Yorker, expressed concern about its potential impact on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Soon after, Senate Republicans issued renewed calls to accelerate the timing of a committee vote. The Democratic Senate offices reviewing the allegations believe that they merit further investigation. “This is another serious, credible, and disturbing allegation against Brett Kavanaugh. It should be fully investigated,” Senator Mazie Hirono, of Hawaii, said. An aide in one of the other Senate offices added, “These allegations seem credible, and we’re taking them very seriously. If established, they’re clearly disqualifying.”
The woman at the center of the story, Deborah Ramirez, who is fifty-three, attended Yale with Kavanaugh, where she studied sociology and psychology. Later, she spent years working for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. The New Yorker contacted Ramirez after learning of her possible involvement in an incident involving Kavanaugh. The allegation was conveyed to Democratic senators by a civil-rights lawyer. For Ramirez, the sudden attention has been unwelcome, and prompted difficult choices. She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaugh’s role in the incident. “I would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted,” she said.

Will comment more after reading again.
The jist is that she says kavanaigh expoised his penis and made her touch it as a freshman at yale.
It seems extremely convenient that another allegation would come up now, after kavanaugh was supposed to have been voted on.
But that dosent mean this woman might not be telling the truth

You can't speak for everyone.
People react differently.
One thing about PTSD -- is the therapy is to go back and relive it -- BECAUSE you do block parts (sometimes all) of what happened.
My friend specializes in PTSD.
People react to trauma differently.
Well then this does not apply to the Blasey Ford incident, because in her letter to Feinstein, she noted that she ran into Mark Judge later and he was incredibly nervous/embarrassed to see her.
Which means (1) she hadn't blocked it out from ptsd, and (2) Judge wasn't 'black out drunk' because according to her, he obviously remembered the night too...
I am not speculating elsewhere.
I'm stating what my friend who specializes in PTSD told me.
There is simply NOT a "One Fits All" reaction.
Something that seems simple as flashing a penis in someone's face could cause one person severe PTSD -- while another person savagely raped will not experience PTSD.

I was in college in the early '90s, and things were done at parties.
What kind of typically acceptable behavior is he referring to? What we see every day or party time behavior because if it's the latter, what parties was he used to attending? I wasn't even a party girl and they were still much different than mine.

And already people are stepping up to defend Kavanaugh.
I'm sure both sides have defenders and critics.

Let's just hope he doesn't plan on running for the USSC.
