re: SJC Thread: Kavanaugh passes & Flake asks for a 1 week delay

false memories and no memories are two completely different ballgames

In your specific case, it could have been the opposite. That does not mean that every case and every person is the same as you.

So there is no real pattern for traumatic memory recollection at all, which blows up your argument.

I'll tell you how this typically goes. Its either lots of repression, or constant vivid and nightmarish recollections -- but almost never this. This type of forgetfulness is usually reserved for liars who don't want to get exposed.

Take a traumatizing experience like 9/11. Everyone everywhere can tell you exactly what they were doing before during and after that event.

This is no different. When she walked out of that house she should be able to say if she walked or went to a neighbors house something. There is zero percent chance she wouldn’t know that information.

shite I can remember what I had for lunch on 9/11, where I was sitting while I ate it vividly. A lot of other random details as well that I usually don't remember as well. I also remember all the specific details of a major car accident I was involved in that nearly killed me.

Meanwhile, I can't remember what I ate for breakfast this morning.

Sometimes (like the daycare abuse case), but sometimes they’re both part of inaccurate memories surrounding an event. Some people remember things they didn’t happen, some remember very little, and others remember things but they are incorrectly jumbled together.

Because that’s the only option they have.

At least one strategy suggested is that the Dems take the House and impeach Trump, then claIm any attempt to seat a judge is illegitimate because Trump has been impeached.

Because Dems think they will pick up seats and control the Senate

Exactly, I don't believe her story. Someone somewhere would be able to corroborate it. There is no way her best friend just didn't wonder where her friend she came with disappeared to. No way those questions wern't asked or not remembered. No way 5 people in the house and 3 disappear and leave the other 2 staring at each other in the living room and they wouldn't remember? Come the frick on.

Damn shame James Woods is off Twitter now. Need his analysis

I said it's pretty common.

Recall impairment prior to and after the traumatic event is not common though.
