#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...
I'd say lock the dipshit in the room with the bear, and take whichever one can leave afterwards. The added bonus being, they would be unlikely to bother you at that point, being either full or severely injured.
There are families who will defend one of their own to a fault and then there are families who would prefer their own to stay quiet about actual truths because of how it might inconvenience them.

This was one of the first people I saw wearing a “Moms for Trump” shirt. Back when the rest of us thought he was a joke candidate. The hard right evangelical churches were and are his bedrock. And they zoomed in on him early.
The weird part is I'm trying to come up with a way to say "I'm glad your son, who raped my daughter, is joining the Supreme Court" without it sounding sarcastic.
