Jesus. This nonsense could have been figured out by a 2 second Google search.

“She holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Southern California”


I don't think having a doctorate's degree is in question, but whether or not she's a psychologist. Then again, she referred to herself as a research psychologist and (as of writing this) I'm not sure if there's a distinction between "psychologist" and "research psychologist".

Google search shows the following:

What is the Difference Between Research Psychology and Applied Psychology?
Although research psychology and applied psychology both deal in the realm of human behavior, they have very different purposes.

To begin, research psychology is focused on studying human behavior, from how people think to how people experience emotions to how people learn. As mentioned above, research psychologists propose hypotheses, design experiments and studies to prove or disprove those hypotheses, and then analyze and interpret the data they collect to draw final conclusions.

Much of a research psychologist’s work is conducted in a laboratory setting – there is an abundance of reading, writing, data analysis, and experimental design involved in one’s daily activities. Additionally, research psychologists may or may not have interaction with the subjects, and if they do, it is in a strict researcher-participant relationship. For this reason, most research psychology positions do not require workers to be licensed psychology practitioners.

Conversely, applied psychology is all about using psychological methods to help individuals achieve improved mental health and performance. Applied psychology runs the gamut from clinical psychology to sports psychology to educational psychology. No matter the context, psychologists that apply their knowledge and skills do so in direct contact with a client. Because of this, psychologists that work in an applied field must be licensed in the state in which they work.

I believe the bolding would apply to Ford whereas the underlined would not.


Looks like the first link says you don't need a license to be a research psychologist. The second link says most states require a license. And the third one says most do not need one. I don't know if any of those sites are legitimate or illegitimate sources, for what it's worth.

I didn't read through all of those links in detail, but looked for stuff that dealt with "research" and/or "license", so if there's something I missed, sorry. If I had to make a guess or opinion, I'd say she most likely probably doesn't need a license to call herself a "research psychologist", but that's just me. Also not sure if she referred to herself (regarding psychology) to anything other than a professor and research psychologist.

Milo is a weirdo
He's really a guy off his rocker and bonkers crazy.
He was banned from twitter for harrassing Leslie Jones
Leslie Jones?????????????
She wasn't even on my radar
Yet
For some reason Milo decided of all the people on the planet to harrass, Milo picked Leslie Jones. A B-list comedian.
Thats just so bizarre wacko
Instead of hard core libs, Milo decides Leslie Jone is the person to harrass. Thats bats**t crazy
Go ahead and listen to that psycho
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

I never read anything from dangerous and am unfamiliar with Milo. There is a lot of stuff coming out or being made up about her career wise, supposed ties to the CIA, ties to law firm that created Russian dossier, and a slew of other stuff. Honestly, I think it is shameful that politics have been reduced to forming baseless allegations of crime against anyone that you disagree with. Not sure how anything is going to get done in the future.
I am pretty sure there will be more baseless orchestrated allegations brought forth against Kavanaugh during this week.

If either of you had bothered to read the article, the "problem" was with her being called a psychologist, since you need to be licensed to call yourself a psychologist

If we follow that logic, it suggests someone with a PHD in computer science is a licensed psychologist. LOL

I thought this all started because some article was all suspicious of her not having a license to practice psychology, which she does not.

The article was very careful not to accuse her of not having a doctorate in psychology, which she does.

Psychologist is a word that can mean or imply different things, depending on the context of it's use.

The point of the article was to cast doubt on her character, for those who were not reading carefully or who only saw what they wanted to see.

I noticed in her testimony she was very careful in what she said. When being asked several times by a Democrat if the boys in the room were laughing at her, or laughing at her expense, she would only say that they were laughing with each other. In a criminal case, that would be leading the witness. Of course it wasn't, yet she still didn't take the bait.

Reports are the White House has told the FBI not to interview MS. Sweatnik, nor any of the Yale roommates, nor can they even look into when Mike Judge was employed at the Supermarket. That seems vital, as Mrs Ford claims she saw him there some weeks after the incident. Knowing when he worked there would help establish a timeline.
I hope these reports are false.

Yeah, I think Kavanaugh definitely did something scummy, and everyone knows it, but unfortunately it will be impossible to prove.

GOP is trying to ramrod him onto the Court before Mid-terms in an effort to protect Trump and their dying ideologies.

I think they think he is their last big power play before the Dems potentially take the House, maybe even the Senate, and the fit starts hitting the shan.

P.S. If a Dem takes the Presidency in 2020, I bet he/she gets 2 SC noms within the first year, maybe even a third before the first term is up. You'll see RBG drop out on day one, and whoever else is old.

If Kavenaugh "did something scummy" there is no need to prove it. Those who vote for or against him can do so freely, without having to back up any of their beliefs, much less prove them factually.

NBC news reports it, among others, but they do not reveal their sources.

If the investigation is limited by more than "1 week" and "looking into allegations of sexual assault against kavenaugh" no matter who makes them or what they uncovered, then yes the investigation is a sham.

My understanding is the investigation is limited to the two known allegations, which is frankly rediculous.

The republicans/trump had a chance to put this thing to bed by authorizing a wider investigation that uncovered nothing. Now the questions of legitimacy will remain after the republicans most likely vote to confirm him.

I know that even less limitd investigation like that won't satisfy everybody, as some want him out by any means necessary, but the way it is now, it will satisfy many fewer.

Ok...
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna915061
I'm sure you'll discount that in some way, though.

And no I don't mean anything about some creepy porn lawyer, whatever that means. I mean if the investigation and interviews lead to more allegations, by different people who are currently unknown, they are out of the scope of the investation and will not be accepted.

As for the motivation of the Dems, that is clear - they will do whatever they can, in increasing levels of public distastefulness, to get what they want. That in itself does not deligitimize the accusations, though.

Thanks for the link. Lots of anonymous sources. I will wait for the completion of the investigation to make a judgement either way.

And no I don't mean anything about some creepy porn lawyer, whatever that means.


In your earlier post you wrote: "My understanding is the investigation is limited to the two known allegations, which is frankly rediculous."

The investigation is limited to two current "credible" allegations. The third allegation was made by Creepy porn lawyer's (Michael Avenatti) client Julie Swetnick. Her allegations are not being investigated because they have not been seen as credible.

Quote:

I mean if the investigation and interviews lead to more allegations, by different people who are currently unknown, they are out of the scope of the investation and will not be accepted.


I have more faith in the FBI that if "credible" information is uncovered it will be investigated.

Quote:

As for the motivation of the Dems, that is clear - they will do whatever they can, in increasing levels of public distastefulness, to get what they want.



I edited your post to reflect reality.

That in itself does not deligitimize the accusations, though.

I do not appreciate you modifying my words with your quotes.

You wanted a source? At least one source, for the accusation that the investigation will be limited to the two "credible" accusations on hand, no matter what the investigation may turn up? I gave you one. As predicted, you dismissed it. You should just say "thank you" and move on.

from the article: “And then we fell in love, okay” he said. “No really. He wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.”

The problem is as much the group of fifty people sitting around her letting him talk to her like that as it is Trump himself. The only way to deal with a bully is to smack him in the mouth, but since that would be illegal in this case, to mouth off to him.

I think it would’ve been awesome had the reporter said, “Nah, forget my question. How about you GFY instead?”

Can you imagine what Peking, Moscow, Ankara and Damascus must think of America with this groping incident consuming our congress and media? The Ayatollah must be horrified .

How do you explain why Trump hasn't asked Vlad to Skripal the accusers?

Trump may need a few more concessions before making a deal.

Quote:

U.S. security firm FireEye raised the alarm Wednesday over a North Korean group that it says has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars by infiltrating the computer systems of banks around the world since 2014 through highly sophisticated and destructive attacks that have spanned at least 11 countries. It says the group is still operating and poses "an active global threat."

Wow! More proof that everything Trump has said early on about the probe are true. People need to go to jail over this.

Meanwhile Trump's doing a fabulous job on trade and creating jobs! Lowest unemployment in over 49 years!

Trump has been right on these things up and down the line. If we had actual journalism in this country and not DNC propaganda then more people would know.

Pretty much dead on.

Quote:

President Trump and his supporters find community by rejoicing in the suffering of those they hate and fear.



-treatment of desperate immigrants

-mocking sexual assault

-all feminists

-muslims

-entire "shithole' countries

-our justice system if it doesn't go his way

-the free press, if it acts free. remember, it's free. fair is a nicety. if you want fair you don't understand freedom. stop complaining,

The Trump Administration has entered Stage 5 climate denial.

GOP politicians: "LOL, I don't care, I'll be dead by then."

The Trump Administration openly admits they don't care about your children, or grand-children, or great-grand-children, etc., etc., etc....

Just wanted to check in on my favorite libs, and see how you like how YOUR PRESIDENT is doing these days?

Promises made -- Promises kept

Great to see there are at least 51 out of 100 who can see through a lying sack of dung and vote their conscience.

Most qualified candidate gets the job = Making America even Greater Again.

Don't get too cranky though kiddos, the liar got over a million from random dopes, so even when the rusty, dilapidated democrat machine doesn't pay her what they promised, her fall will be pillowed.

YOUR PRESIDENT delivers again!!!
Statistics don't lie, they deceive.
