I want to go to there.

This is a great examination of what made Becky work, but I don’t think the movie was as unequivocally anti-”normcore” as you put it. Buscemi essentially lays out out the thesis in the middle of the film when he talks about there being no purity or virtue to being an insular nerd. I think the film does demonstrate that…

Good movie. Johansson’s Becky was a strong point. 

Somehow, I think Lillian Kaushtupper would be all over this plan, working out the details in her tugboat (“not a tugboat!”) 

I mean, that’s honestly the stance that I have respect for. Like, do I think he did it? Probably. Will I vote for him in November? Disgustingly, I’ll probably have to just to make sure we don’t have a Supreme Court that will destroy everything.

This is the only thing I think about. Is Biden a rapist? Possibly. All victims deserve to be heard. But there are bigger things at stake here. Does that make me a hypocrite? Yes. The lesser of two evils is a terrible choice to make but I’ll make it. 

Democrats can do a little sexual assault, as a treat.

You could say the reverse though, “Coming forward against a well known Senator/VP with a history of attacking sexual assault victims would be even harder. Ford could have easily come forward against a lowly judge.” Not really disagreeing with you, but there’s always a reason why victims are coming forward “wrong”.

Not all victims are going to fit in a nice little box. U can call her out on her messed up beliefs and still support her as a rape victim. 

It’s cool that Tara Reade is being treated the same as Juanita Broaddrick. And by “cool” I mean, horrifying.

I dunno, Biden treats women at events the way Trump treats flags at events. I’m not entirely sure that “being a sneakier rapist” is like... “a win”. But I get where you’re coming from.

RBG should have retired during Obama’s first 100 days when he had clear momentum. That was short-sighted on both their parts. Now we all get to worry every time she walks up stairs or gets a cold.

Reading the comments is pretty sad. Not every sexual assault victim has a spotless past and a tearful, ready-for-Lifetime story. Maybe that lady who was a bitch to you at work is also a victim, and it doesn’t make it any less bad. Maybe the guy you always see holding weird libertarian signs was molested. It’s still…

This. I’m voting for the less rapey guy who at least doesn’t brag about it. What a load of fucking shit though. I want to scream out my window. Fucking moron democrats voting for this obvious clusterfuck of a candidate. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO US???

Like Dr. Ford should have come forward before the Supreme Court nomination? Sometimes that's the way it works. You just want to live like it didn't happen until the stakes get too high and you feel like you have to step up.

I dunno. It seems newsworthy when a woman, on the record, under her own name, comes out and publicly makes an accusation of sexual assault agains the presumptive Democratic nominee, and it seems possible to responsibly present those accusations with all of the relevant caveats if the original source didn’t take…

It took a lot of guts for her to come forward after the way Dr. Blasey Ford was treated and continues to get threats on her life.

Seen a lot of people ignoring this. Kudos for writing about it. Tara deserves to be heard.

Yes, he means someone in the Baby Boom generation. You know, those people who raised a huge stink about being made to go die for what the government declared to be the greater good?

well I guess I’m fine with this if the republicans are willing to start by infecting themselves first.  The economy will live on longer than we’re all expected to live anyways, so we might as well put all our faith in that.  I’m not a grandparent yet, but if I gotta die so my kids can have an economy I don’t see any…
