Speaking if which. Anyone ever here the British use the word “interfere”. I’ve hear them use it a few times on the BBC and I think it means “molest” over there in certain uses.

And those of us from the Southern United States…especially those from the Atlantic States…are familiar with the word “SHAGGING”…a dance done to East Coast Beach Music…
In Great Britain…it means having sex!

Wow…
(This is an always thought-provoking excerpt from an article that @thunderbolt23 posted by Andrew Sullivan):
“All that is happening now will surely affect who comes forward in the future. A woman violated by a Democrat will be likelier to go public — because it gets results. A woman violated by a Republican will fear she could be easily demonized as a liar, a conspirator, or a fraud, and understandably be reluctant to put herself through that.”
"The right’s key edge on this is, it seems to me, shamelessness; a quality currently reified in “The Supreme Leader”.
“Ted Cruz’s staggering ability to pull off a transparently double standard on Franken and Moore, within a few seconds, is a classic example of a shame-free partisan at work. Drudge’s and Fox’s hysteria about Democratic and Hollywood iniquity is matched only by their celebration of Republican denials. It takes fathoms of cynicism to get away with this and unknown depths of denial to believe it. But the GOP has oodles of both on hand — and certainly more than the Dems.”
“You get the feeling at times that if some Trump voters were to witness a brutal rape right in front of them, the first question they’d ask would be: Is the perpetrator a Republican or a Democrat? And did the victim vote for Hillary?”
Ouch.
Yeah, Andrew Sullivan is a well-informed, eloquent writer, one chock full of interesting opinions. I don’t agree with them all, but enjoy hearing him expound on them.
As an aside, he is an especially compelling read when addressing the tension between his deeply-held Catholic faith and his homosexuality.
Writing stuff like this really undoes whatever point he was trying to make.

I get the impression that this is an extreme struggle for him…to the point that when I’ve actually heard him speak (not just write)…I thought that he might fall over any second from a massive Coronary.
Also; he gets passionately pissed…and I mean passionately pissed at both DEMs/Repubs…Liberals/Conservatives equally. My feeling that his struggles with these groups are intertwined with his inner stuggles.

Like Trump saying he could murder someone and still get elected?
No idea what point you are trying to make, sorry?
He didn’t undo anything. He made a hyperbolic claim that mirrors the same hyperbolic claim that Trump made about the same group of people.
Well then, if Trump did it first then that changes everything.
I’ll refer this one back to the elementary school lawyers for advice before I comment again LOL.
Funny since I’d never given the lyrics to that song any thought before you mentioned it.
The newer version popped up on one of my daughter’s Spotify Christmas playlists. Clever and sweet. I’d imagine it will get a lot of play this year. Timely for sure.

Looks like ole’ Mattie Boy had a habit of pinching and grabbing Katie Couric and Meredith Viera…and was very clear where he wanted to go dipping…

These are not two, poor, single Moms working two jobs and getting WIC having to put up with some sleaze-ball of a “manager” at the Local Chicken Shack or Jiffy Lube…
These are two, rich, public…(strong?)…women…
Why the silence?
Why did they tolerate it?
“Willing” participants?
Other?
Only they have the real answers…I’m just throwing it out to PWI…

There have been reports of a private Friar’s Club roast of Matt Lauer in 2008. There’s no transcript or recordings. But it’s coming out that everyone made jokes about Matt being a perv and sleeping with Katie Kouric and young interns.
It was known. Everyone was okay with it, until they weren’t.

Is what some crazy nutjobs (or trolls) wrote on an internet page justification for anything?
Wrong way to read that, champ. It means that people on both sides see that group the same way.

I recently had a thought experiment where I see a potential reaction being an unforeseen consequence of the ball dropping on the other side of the wall. I could foresee a direct avoidance of employers to hire female employees, particularly attractive female employees in order to remove the possibility or minimize the possibility of impropriety. Of course, they have to meet their quotas for Affirmative Action, but beyond that they hire men.
And it would not be just men doing this, as I have heard many female managers over time prefer their male subordinates to female.
It may or may not come true, but I am just looking at all the potential fall out, potentially unseen.
The wound is to fresh to know anything right now, but it’s not impossible to believe to be coming.
I sense and see a lot of men who would rather not even talk to their female colleagues outside what is necessary and it’s all business, no small talk. No “how was your weekend?”, nothing but ‘Here’s the report, let me know if changes are required’
