No one reacts the way he reacted in that kind of setting while trying to demonstrate his character and fitness for a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court unless he has had a life filled with privilege and entitlement and has been able to act in any which way with impunity, with zero threat of actually losing anything…

Porque no los dos? If it were just about achieving a conservative bench majority, they could easily withdraw him and name another. No, they’re doubling down because they feel we must be defeated, we must know our place, we must remember that they are in charge and they own us.

He acted like a rabid dog and so did the GOP out there yesterday.

He’ll never withdraw, he’s too entitled. He believes he is owed this position.

I want to believe that an investigation would matter, but I also know that the only way it would matter is if Kavanaugh withdraws his own name from consideration. The Republicans have all lined up publicly to proclaim that they were committed yes votes, and have long sense abandoned any effort at pretending this is…

It’s Central Florida, so I can make about 100 presumptions about what kind of parents let their girls participate in this youtube channel. But, to be fair, parents can be groomed by abusers too. “Oh, your daughter is so beautiful, she has real talent, she could be a star!” that sort of thing

I don't know if this thread has trailed off yet, but I realized that I haven't shared the scariest thing that's ever happened to me yet, so I have to post.

"ONCE A PAIR OF HANDS CRAWLED OVER THE EDGE OF HER BED"?!

Side bar, to lighten the mood: when I was little we lived in a town house and somehow my mom became the sort of unofficial baby sitter of everyone. There was always a pile of kids in the house. It was a small town, everyone knew everyone so our door was almost never locked. Twice my mom was in the shower and some…

I lost my mom two years ago, and she comes to see me. We moved in February, and I talked to her urn to tell her we were going to a new house and she was coming along. The day after everything was moved, I went into my jewelry box, getting ready to go somewhere. I have several rings that were my mom's. They were…

Unlike a horror movie, they took that as a sign to move rather than try to beat whatever this was and reclaim the house.

I'm sorry for your loss, onestraw! She sounds like a terrific aunt.

OK, this is a long one. It happened in the 60's. I was a small child and we were visiting my mother's parents in southern England (Kent). I was playing in the back garden and my Mum and Gran saw me watching intently something at the back gate. This gate led to a path that was semi-public. When I went tinto the house,…

When I was three and my brother was six, my parents went to Pennsylvania for a romantic weekend getaway at a 200-year-old country inn in the Pocono Mountains. They came back with the deed to the place.

My favorite aunt passed away a few months ago. It hit me pretty hard. It wasn't sudden or anything, because she was sick, but it was still really painful.

I've worked hospice and it is amazing how many people will wait for a particular friend or family member to arrive before dying.

This is not scary and this ghost is not scary, but I do have a story. I have a family first name (one of us in every generation). I also have an old picture of one of the women in the family with the name who lived around the turn of the century. It's a beautiful old picture and I've had it for years. The woman…

Debated telling this story (generally dont tell it cause I swear some ppl will think I am crazy) but here goes

Trust the dogs.
