Next year, at the Oscars, besides the In Memoriam segment for those who have passed on, I want to see a segment for those whose careers have passed on because of this scandal.
Trump, of course, has actually been publicly accused by numerous women of ACTIONS, not merely spoken words. Including child rape. Speaking of children, Roy Moore is dividing two of them: Ivanka believes his accusers, while Donald (Senior) does NOT!
Of course (in relation to comments rather than today’s strip), the technique of introducing a DIFFERENT TOPIC rather than staying on topic is an old technique that is designed to obscure an issue without actually presenting anything solid to refute it. Basically, it is the adult equivalent of a kid on the playground replying to an accusation of cheating on a game with, “Oh, yeah? Well, your mother’s fat.”
So, Franken expects to skate from what he did on the basis of an “apology”? What a scummy, sleazy character. He should at the least be man enough to resign. It’s not that his party would lose a seat, since the Democrat governor would appoint another Democrat.
Opus is all show and no real admission of guilt. Of course, he was not really guilty, even though what he did could be so construed. Too much construing going on….

I’d say that Opus is taking a step in the right direction… but I’m not convinced just yet.

Trump is nowhere near in the same molesters league as Billy Boy, but I admire your attempt at even-handedness, Berke.

Impeach The Rump and send Opus to the White House.

Isn’t it obvious that the only thing men in Opus’s position are ever really “sorry” about is getting caught.

Sometimes comedy makes points the best. That happened today in Bloom County 2017.
Tracey Ullman’s deft approach to the general topic:

I envy those with the ability to be so eloquent and funny at the same time.
