Michael O’Hanlon: I didn’t hear a lot of radically new information, and I think the main importance of the hearing was to get beyond some of the fairly silly attacks on his credibility that I think have been unfortunate. At one level, generals don’t deserve any immunity, and there are generals in the past I would be critical of for their roles in certain debates....

Just as NFL greats past and present can heap endless praise on the future Hall of Fame quarterback for what all he did during most of his legendary 18-year career, Williams is allowed to say Manning didn’t play well in his final season....
It is hard not to find this argument ironic, given that Rotunno’s media presence over the past few weeks has put blame, shame and guilt not just on the courageous Weinstein accusers—but on survivors everywhere. As women and trauma psychologists, we had to catch our breath last week when we heard Rotunno say she’s never been sexually assaulted because she never put herself in the position to be victimized. We had already been reeling from the rape myths that Rotunno and her colleagues had promoted at the trial—for example, bringing witnesses to testify that Weinstein’s accusers seemed fine right after the alleged assault and claiming that therefore no assault occurred....

According to a recent series of tweets from Kojima Productions, however, that confusion might be exactly the point.

The impact of those delays could help decide the election. In 2016, just 80,000 voters in three states—Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin—gave Trump the electoral college votes he needed to defeat Hillary Clinton, despite losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million....
