I told you it was gonna be high drama today. B&B, DAYS, GH and Y&R haven't been this riveting in decades.

PREACH.

Democratic nominees? For the Supreme Court? Under this administration? Girl, bye!

Lindsey Graham just falsely told a bunch of reporters that Democrats are never subjected to accusations of sexual misconduct Bill Clinton and Al Franken: "SAY WHAT?"

Me: "Stay strong, Ms. Ford! You got this!" No matter what else happens today, I am so proud to be on the same planet as women like Christine Blasey Ford.

I don't believe what's going on here. Now we've got men coming forward and saying they, and not Kavanaugh, attacked Ford all those years ago. Men actually copping to attempted rape to clear another man's name? Am I [!@#$%^&*] dreaming? Because, this [!@#$%^&*] can't be real! It galls me, too, how many are letting it slide that Kavanaugh says he never became so intoxicated that he blacked out and couldn't remember what happened the next morning, yet questioning whether Ford, Swetnick and especially Ramirez are remembering correctly "because, after all, they had been drinking." Does it occur to any of these people that maybe they, too, never got so drunk that they couldn't remember what happened later? Like, am I supposed to believe that everyone involved is or was a blackout drunk EXCEPT Brett? COME ON. Wordy McWord. Today promises to be more nail-biting than any soap has been in quite the while. "What will SHE say? What will HE say? What will the Committee say? And, as always, what about Naomi?"

That's some strong, revisionist b.s. About the only group I remember supporting Anita Hill WAS women, and WOC in particular. For the most part, men were just cracking jokes about "Long Dong Silver" and pubic hairs on Cokes.

IKR? He really thinks saying he was a virgin back then and that he was never involved in any sexual activity "with more than one woman present" clears him of any wrongdoing in our eyes. Like, it doesn't even register in his allegedly brilliant legal mind that all he's doing is digging a deeper hole for himself. I've said it before and I'm saying it now (and to hell with how it sounds): he was better off saying he was gay.

Good point(s), Vee.

I've watched "Real Housewives" reunions with more civility. Nevertheless, YOU GO, AVENATTI.

Holy Mother of God, this train is barreling down the mountain FAST. "I've never participated in any sexual activity with more than one woman present and me." What the hell does THAT mean? More than one WOMAN present? So, what, there was more than one man present, then? What in God's name are you talking about!? WHY must you give answers that leave too much room for interpretation, Brett? You were a lawyer, and no doubt you've retained one as well. You should know better!! Trump denies that the UN was actually laughing at him yesterday, instead claims "they were laughing with me." That's what we always tell ourselves when our bullies embarrass us. Takes the sting out of the humiliation. He REALLY needs to stop talking. Like, right now. When you say you have to think about whether you've had a sexual encounter with someone after admitting ON LIVE TELEVISION that you were a virgin all through high school and college...ugh...let's just say, you're not doing yourself any favors. But, go ahead, keep hanging yourself, judge. Don't let ME stop you.

What I'm stuck on is her comment about Spacey being a comfort to her after her husband's passing, as if that exonerates him (at least in her eyes) of his crimes. I'm not saying that's what she said exactly -- she's probably as appalled as the rest of us -- but it's coming across that way to me. It's like what Trevor Noah suggested not too long ago on "The Daily Show": we need to get out of this mindset that people can't exhibit both good and bad behavior. Just because someone is a close friend to you, or helps you through a rough time, doesn't mean they're not capable of harassing or assaulting women or men, or molesting children, or what-have-you. Someone could be a devoted husband and father, good friend and neighbor, pleasant co-worker, active member in his or her church community, Boy Scout leader, you name it -- and they could also be someone who lures underaged boys and girls into his den, drugs them, molests them, then threatens to harm their loved ones if they tell anyone. I think the best thing you (or any parent) can do is to remind your children that the purpose of life is to leave the world better than how they find it.

It's times like these when I wish life were like a soap opera and someone had a video or audio tape that reveals everything.

IA. I don't want to compare traumas either, because I don't want to be accused of diminishing the impact of any victim's ordeal. However, in a way, Swetnick's account is worse, because it suggests premeditation on his and Judge's parts. Again, though, I'm struck by two facts: 1) for the third time, Kavanaugh is depicted in the victim's account as being seriously inebriated; and 2) where Kavanaugh is, so, too, is Mark Judge. Like, is there something else going on there, or am I reading way too much into it?

Wait, what? What happened to Julie Swetnick? I'm totally lost! Aaaaaaaand I'm caught up...and throwing up.

Thanks, Carl!

Men are worse than pigs.

Here's the thing: sometimes, the indiscretions of our youth carry over into our adult years and beyond. Especially when no one is there to hold us accountable. Unless he had a true come-to-Jesus moment, I doubt Kavanaugh stopped when he graduated from college or law school. Also, the fact that Kavanaugh did not rape Ford does not (and should not) mitigate that he did, indeed, attack her with the intent of forcing her to have sex with him. Cramer is a neanderthal for thinking and saying otherwise.

They had recast Kent Bogard once already. Michael Woods was the original Kent, IIRC.

"Sex Wars" -- wasn't that the name of some late-night game show in the early '00's?

BASEBALL TICKETS? Who racks a $200,000 debt over BASEBALL TICKETS? No, there's something else going on there. No way did that man spend that much money for freaking baseball tickets. No. Damn. Way. Maybe Jason Miller put something in Trump's drink this morning? I hear he's good at that kind of stuff.

Try and mug your way out of THAT, Dr. Huxtable.

Wait, what? How come I don't remember something as insane as that, lol? Ah, yes. I do miss the fact that the Obama years were largely free of personal scandals. I think that's why the media laps up everything now. For eight years, they had nothing juicy to go on about.

I don't remember either...and that's what's so sad about it. We're reduced to a minstrel show on a global stage.

Yep. Imagine if what had happened to Grover Cleveland -- namely, the discovery of an illegitimate child -- had happened to Obama as well. Even if he had still been elected, there would have been no END to the "baby daddy"/"baby mama" cracks.
