I agree, “at this point” is a tragedy. I realize now I sounded defensive, or like I was trying to rationalize it in my original comment, but I wasn’t. I meant my question sincerely, hoping for a dialogue.

So how should anyone handle accusations?

I could have worded mine better, too. It looks like I’m being defensive on his part, but it’s not a rhetorical question. If he could have handled it better I’d like to know, because I don’t see how, and that’d be a blind spot on a very important subject on my part.

I’ve never seen that photograph before. She looks terrified, her body language is completely defensive. I feel all shivery (not in good way) looking at that. Her closed eyes seem to say to me that she’s praying just to get to safety.

maybe i’m still wearing my rose-colored glasses, but at first reading of this story, it seems like he really gets it and is remorseful and isn’t just doing this to be all “hey look how good and changed i am”.

you don’t have any rage because this guy isn’t fighting the accusations, he completely admits wrongdoing and quit all his jobs. Like its like hearing a rapist ask for the death penalty. obviously he did wrong and you should hate him, but he clearly knows he did wrong and wants the consequences

Well, how could he have handled it better at this point? He took her accusation seriously, took responsibility, and expressed contrition.

normally i would hate the pants! but for some reason the pants are working for me.

In Ugly Betty, Vanessa Williams showed could do more than just gentle and ethereal.

He gets better with age, doesn’t he? His fuck field is nearly barren.

Secondly, I now know who Billy Bush is.
This also bothers me.

I want my last Thursday’s brain back.

If there is any kind of karmic retribution or force for good in the universe, Pence. Billy Bush is an asshole to be sure, Pence wrote multiple pieces of legislation that fucked over, or had the potential to fuck over people’s lives.

The thing that bothered me most about Billy Bush on the tape was how willing he was to keep the “talk” going
The hug request. Asking Arianna Zucker to choose one of them and so on.
He was all pumped up by talk of pussy-grabbing; his endorphins were flowing.
Even an animal like Trump knew to dial it the fuck back when the…

I feel like Al Roker had to practice not cackling gleefully when announcing that.

I see you keep making this argument about how it’s just one guy’s opinion and we shouldn’t pay it any mind. He’s old, and we should trivialize his opinion and job. Ignoring the bad logic of that statement, he’s not even just “one person,” he’s literally “Religious statesman and president of the Universal Society of…

Buddhists have no deities. The Buddha is not sacred, he is a representation of an enlightened man, beyond the wants or desires of a physical world. Siddhartha would not give a care about a depiction of someone in a game. You can not insult someone who doesn’t care what you have to say.

Just remember kids, so long as YOU don’t personally care about it, anyone else who does is wrong!

Act superior if you want, but as someone who doesn't know who Billy Bush is, I feel like the real winner here.
