That last part is really the kicker, right? I am a survivor and I haven’t told most people over a decade later. What would be the point of telling people something I cannot prove to their standard of a burden of proof (you know, since of course loving and trusting me wouldn’t be enough to just believe my story since

I'm sure there was no sexual assault during the times of the pioneers of the prairie because those were strong women. And going forward I’m sure his kids would feel really comfortable coming forward if they are ever sexually assaulted. Great job fuck head.

Yeah, Cramer, it’s not like a woman who has been sexually assaulted, like your daughters, might say, put on a tough facade to hide it and/or make sure it never happens again. Oh, and by the way, you just told your daughters to NEVER tell you if they are/were sexually assaulted because you’ve told the world that you a)

They are pioneers of the prairie. These are tough people whose grandparents were tough and great-grandparents were tough.

That took 6 minutes. A new record I think.

Here’s the thing: the very very slim silver lining on all of this is that it’s over, and the GOP can’t make much further hay out of it. Their numbers have been getting better (for them) over the course of this whole thing, and if they’d stretched it out for another month, who knows how much better a position they’d be

#metoo wasn't born in Hollywood and it won't die there either. 

Don’t come back Kanye.

Here’s the horrid lesson being taught: Unless you can magically produce corroborating evidence on your own, don’t come forward. No one will believe you, no matter how credible you or your account is.

Good. They think they are untouchable. Anyone working in media knows that you cannot wear campaign schwag; you become part of the story you are reporting impartiality be damned.   I am sure some Fox affiliate will snatch him up.

I usually give other women a lot of slack but through this whole mess every time a woman I know voted Republican expressed disgust I reminded them they voted for this and remind them they have a choice this year and in two years. This is no oopsie. Only an idiot could hear Republican’s rhetoric and think they wouldn’t
