I just want to get this out there: I’ve been with lots of men, but their bosses were mediocre, at best, and I didn’t think to record their names. Most of them had brown hair, if that helps.

As a woman, I agree with you. Inappropriate and not funny? Check. Groping and sexual assault. Not evidenced here. The kissing part I’m unsure of, but this is hardly a pattern of abuse and predation.

I believe Brunson, I guess I’m also struggling with how today’s standards of knowing boundaries reconcile with our past behavorial standards. But I agree with you completely, his apology is of today, and not respecting the trauma of what he did, whether he remembers it or not.

I know. I know it’s wrong on all levels and no matter how you look at it. I was trying to articulate how my mind is trying to justify it. But you’re right, there is none.

My mind keeps trying to say, “well, that was a very different time regarding known boundaries on what was a date with drinking and going back to someone’s place,” and I think it’s because I don’t want this to be true of Takei and wondering if it’s fair to judge this particular case with today’s mindset. Still have…

Well, he’s 80. Last week can seem like a long time ago. But I agree that his statement “it simply didn’t happen,” doesn’t quite jive with “I can’t remember.”

His weight is displacing. Gut weight from stress, loss in the face and turkey neck from stress.

That is a heavy drinker’s face if I ever saw one, and I’ve seen lots.

Bad things happen, but he blames others. I do wonder where he stores all the denial though.

Wine makes it all clear.

Yeah, there’s probably more out there than even the public shit that they try to excuse. Someone this awful doesn’t have a closet full of skeletons. What a moral toilet drain the right is on, the question is when they finally realize they’ve gone too far.

I’m very tired of the U.S. media. Even my go-to DemocracyNow! disappoints me at time, but not the level of NPR programming, who are obsessed with (STILL!) interviewing trump supporters. BBC and Al-Jezerra cover way more, including the atrocities in Yemen and Myanmar, and U.S. is all “what did Derek what’s his name,…

Oar, you can believe it.

The post on the year of protests has really brought that to the front of my mind and conscience, how complacent I’ve been until this affected me directly. For so many years, our neighbors and friends have suffered through our inaction and we did nothing, nothing that changed anything, only pushed it further…

This made me cry with pride. I’m so honored to be part of the resistance, to have marched and showed up at many of these events, to have called, tweeted, called out, and not backed down. Though I know we are tired, and many of us have been tired for hundreds of years and I hear you, and I send my love and gratitude to…

Well, the precedent is that they have been getting away with it. They’re only problem is that they were once behind the scenes and working in shady networks. Now they’re center stage and don’t understand why they can’t do the same corrupt and immoral shit they’ve been doing all along. They wave the curtain like they…

No accident that she is there.

So after loudly suggesting that HRC campaign and the DNC conspired to fix the primaries, despite also admitting that they actually didn’t, she appears in Trump Tower the day after the elections? Hmmmmm.

Only the left will fade away. The right will continue to use this (hopefully with no effect) for years to come. Brazile must have known that. I can’t understand Brazile’s end game here, because this does not help her.

Thank you! I tried to defend HRC and call out Brazile’s shady trading on Hillary-hate to sell books, got involved in a long discussion/debate about it on this very site, even AS SHE WAS BACKPEDALING, and nothing. Even DemocracyNow!, to my knowledge, has not covered her “actually, they did nothing wrong” shit, and they…
