  1. Decent men grew up in a different world from the women they know. We just have no idea what their lives have been like. Mrs. Austin Dave points out that “the women we are hearing from and about these days have reluctantly come forward and now have SOME level of power. Imagine all the waitresses and hotel maids and cashiers, and what their lives are like. And that’s in the US.” @tena

    Chris Wallace on Fox says 2 of his daughters, in the wake of Kav allegations, have told him about things in high school they hadn't told him before. "There are teenage girls who don't tell stories to a lot of people, and then it comes up. I don't think we can disregard that"

  2. This could be defined a cultural moment.

    I have been in and out, but at this point it looks like a train wreck for the old guard.

  3. Avatar for spin spin says:

    I agree with Wallace, who is smarter than the 11 old men repubs on the committee. Why they thought that a prosecutor, who is used to defending victims would be their attack dog in 5 minute chunks of time was going to work, with Chuck Assley jumping in to make drive by attacks on DiFi and the democrats is beyond me.

    The republicans are so out of their depths.

  4. The tragedy of forcing Dr. Ford to endure this put aside, I hope the GOP will like being in the minority. What a disgrace they are.
