Men knew: The Matt Manweller edition.

I’m glad that KUOW and other mainstream news outlets are reporting on Manweller. Still, they must have known earlier. I knew much of it when Goldy reported on it several years ago. But OK new info has come out, and the interview with his ex wife is sold reporting.

Still, what concerns me is that KUOW had him on the air, on the news roundup show, and acted like nothing was wrong with him. Didn’t question him on the air. It may have been a prerequisite to getting him. But maybe it’s not worth having him.

There is a problem going around Seattle. I have seen it a few times now, but I suspect that bus drivers and regular bus commuters see it more than me. I refer, of course, to men — always men — who put their ORCA Card in their front pocket and then hump the card reader when they get on the bus.

What is? But. Why? Just don’t.

I have been perplexed by seeing men who read about sexual assault and workplace harassment and whose takeaway is that you can’t even flirt anymore. The AP decided to add to the genera here. (h/t)

I don’t know, dudes. If you read the dozens of Weinstein stories, and your take away is I can’t ask about your weekend or compliment your haircut, maybe you shouldn’t. If you can’t tell the difference between a friendly hug and a creepy one, yeah, no hugs at work. Sorry, you don’t seem to know what harmless flirting is, so maybe don’t try it out at work.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will meet on Tuesday night for an evening of political conversation over drinks. Please stop by!

At what point does Hillary Clinton have the right to sue Donald Trump for slander? I think making up lies about her lying to the FBI must cross a line. She’s a private citizen now. She isn’t running for anything.

There are protections for some presidential actions that would end up in court if they weren’t President. High crimes and misdemeanors are handled by Congress, for example. But this sort of slander is civil, so perhaps it can proceed.

Exodus 21:20-21
If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Oh man I would have thought it would take longer for Flynn to flip. Seriously, everyone, stop helping Trump commit crimes. He won’t save you, and you destroy your soul. Also, maybe don’t bring your children into your criminal enterprise.

Anyway, thank goodness we avoided having a kindly Methodist grandmother as president.
