Deep breath....

does other housemate have to deal with her shit?

I followed up with "sorry, that was mean. " She's like "Yes it was." and I am "I meant of course what are the odds?" She grumbled. I think she's tired of hearing talk of B

Yes, but not as much. To her credit, she's been swamped with being both a teacher and a student.

B is not your mom

you have been doing a lot of unpaid caretakimg

Oh it's paying. B's daughter and the others agree I shouldn't pay as much for house upkeep right now.

My share of utilities etc

good

Honestly, b's daughter in particular feels bad about and I quote "You being stuck with her, but I REALLY appreciate it"

oof

They're good folks. Been by me a long time.

still

this is hard, and you are allowed to vent

Well, to be fair I try to use you guys for that. But B's daughter, Son in law and our third member (The student/teacher) hear about it too. They kind of need to. It's often health related, and other time a warning so B doesn't rewrite history

Which, as you have heard, B does, constantly.

To add to my joy, she's switched from less HGTV to more Fox News

So I am glad she's gone so if she gets political she can do it with her son

hm

while she is gone, set child locks on Fox? 🙂

ha!

No no. She'd just have Son in law 'fix it

"Oh, sorry B, I don't know why it's not working!"

I have been so stressed about politics past few days

I think I know why, too

some FB reactions to this are, well - letting me know that people I liked aren't "safe."

There are conservative/republicans that haven't resorted to attacks on the victim

and at least one nominal democrat who has been making-a-funny about it

I.. mmm. I think the best way to stay sane in situations like these is to go by the philosophy "Never assume malice when you can blame stupidity"

It might be stupidity

For me, I lean towards Ford telling the truth, but I do think Feinstein is hardly doing this for entirely noble reasons. It's cut throat politics. That does not make the democrats 'just as bad'. It still needs and official FBI Investigation already. It's one thing to presume innocent until proven guilty, I'm for that. But it's another to wipe your hands and not even LOOK into it.

but when trying to address it calmly - pointing out, say, how it is pretty gross to depict Ford as a streetwalker - leads to "it's a cartoooooooooooon, lighten up!"

yeah. That's a swing and a miss on the humor scale.

But you know, I'm the one being unreasonable for being upset at a goddamn cavalcade of bullshit

It's like , dude, if proof that satisfies even you comes up that she was nearly raped, you're going to feel like crap.

(Assuming it is a dude, could be a woman. I've seen plenty of folks on both sides of both sexes)

thing is, there's no "proof." It's damn near impossible.

True

Though, hey, fun fact, chucklehead's calendar LISTED A PARTY with all of the people

Hi Brekkers

Got to disagree Valley. The fact that she was 15 and add a “party” drinking beer with boys makes her as good as a prostitute to them.

And him acting like a paranoid, hostile partisan on the seat... "THE DEMOCRATS! CLINTON! HOW OFTEN DO YOU BLACK OUT SENATOR!"

The people who don’t believe ford think she got what she deserved.

Yup

Because she wasn't "smart"

because she was asking for it

Right.

because this is what we hear again and again and again

Well, then Brekkers, they're idiots. But we may have known that
