10. Oh Dear God!

I’m so sorry to hear of your agony.

I also believe it when innocent people who’ve been assaulted, hurt, abandoned, defiled, denigrated, demeaned or otherwise victimized say they still deal with it - even years later.

I totally get that. There are many things that are mighty hard to get over. This level of affront, I can only imagine, would be almost impossible to forget. Especially if there was never any justice done. You DON’T just stroll blithely away and say “meh, it wasn’t really that big a deal.”

So what we have is a Supreme Court nominee accused of clapping his hand over a young girl’s mouth to keep her screams from being heard inside a locked room with boys trying to rape her - whose prospective rulings ON said Court would, in effect, muzzle many more women seeking justice in the future.

Okay. I get it. Lordy do I get it. Here's Hoping the GOP at large gets it - in November.
