  1. There is nothing so traumatizing as being assaulted by a psychopath. They look human, they can act human, but they are not one of the community of humans. They are emotionally vacant. They care nothing at all for anyone other than themselves. This is the terrifying reality. They should never be granted power. They do enough damage as it is. They are what the ancients referred to as “evil”.

    Gee. Why did she wait so long to go public?
    Gee. It happened so long ago she should be over it.
    Gee. Why didn’t she go to the FBI?

    This poor woman. Her remarks should be played to every Republican in DC.

  3. Was Donnie a classmate?

    I haven’t had the courage to watch Dr. Ford’s testimony today, but I did read her wriiten statement yesterday. It has brought back the horrendous nightmare of being assaulted by a close relative when I was 19. You never forget it and there are sights and smells of that horror that I can never erase from memory. There is also a part of me that continues to blame and second guess myself for that horror. Any human being who thinks it is not permanently traumatizing has to be sub-human. My assault happened more than 30 years ago. I am deeply thankful to Dr. Ford for her courage.

  5. Not if it happened in Valley Park MO. Tres working class like forever.
