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.

It's sad, but what else COULD they do (but laugh)? That sentence was too preposterous to ignore. I'm just glad the rest of the world's "keepin' it 100," because God knows we can't anymore.

No doubt, the usual suspects will spin this to say, "What a great sense of humor he has!," and "Just LOVE how our president can let everything roll off his back!," and "How DARE those gutter snipes at the U.N. question the brilliant progress this administration has made in just two years!".

I feel a rendition of "Memory" coming on. Not from you, but from me.

Another unfortunate result of Trump's "victory": everyone thinks they can run for political office. If anything, I see the Trump administration as the reason why we were better off harvesting our candidates from the Ted Casablancas School of Politicking.

As usual, Josh Morrow looks as if he's inviting us to a keg party. ("Romance is in the air, bruh, back at Delta Chi!")

But, you see, thanks to his ridiculous lie, he's raised the possibility that he lied in his yearbook about being a "Renate Alumnius." IOW, what I just said could happen in my last post, has happened already. Also, from David Mack's twitter: "other men say the phrase was about signalling they’d all dated or gone to dances with the same girl --" Yeah. Right. "but even that insinuation they would be making — in a yearbook, no less — is still really gross" Ya think? "All that means is, Renate and I went out once and had a really good time." Jesus, Brett, you are so pathetic.

ICAM. Of course, one might argue, he lied about his sexual conquests IN ORDER to be accepted into that culture. I'm not saying he lied in order to cover up his virginity, but I'm sure the possibility will come up at some point. Same! If he had penetrated either Ms. Ford or Ms. Ramirez, then maybe his "virgin defense" would make sense. But he didn't; and the fact that he tried to w/ Ms. Ford, but was both too drunk and too clumsy to "finish the job," for lack of a better word, only means he was a virgin who struck out.

The struggle is real for Ashley Kavanaugh, lol. Well, I just thought his chemistry with Ryan O'Neal on "Peyton Place" was off the charts. Oh, wait, that was Mia.

I'm a virgin, and I'm thirty-nine years old. For sure, it'll convince Mama Khan because, again, I'm a virgin, and I'm thirty-nine years old. Neither Ford nor Ramirez has said he actually penetrated them. If what he says is true -- which I doubt, even if I am less than one year away from being "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" -- then I think he's told more on himself than even he realizes. (Can you say "secret gay life"? Not saying he is, but he's opened the door to it. Trust me, you don't get to say you didn't have sex in college OR in high school, especially with Ford and Ramirez's accusations at play, w/o people questioning your sexuality just a little.)

Michael Chabon's in on this? Well. I just might have to watch.
