Yes she did. And she’s unbelievably talented at it.

I don’t think she’s brilliant. I think she stooped to the lowest common denominator for the election. She lied and cheated as much as Trump supporters do, or want to do.

To be fair, she is brilliant. Evil, but brilliant.

Was he carried there in a palanquin?

Resting rich face.

They all seem to have, to some degree, that same semi-reproachful, “the world owes me something” unconscious expression.

I know, the thought is disgusting. And that’s one of the many bizarre things about Quiverfull - they’re supposed to go from never having kissed or front-hugged to being babymaking machines overnight. NOT a healthy way to start having sex. And according to the Duggars’ own philosophy, a wife should never, ever deny her…

she has no way to support herself or her children even if she did leave.

The women and girls in Quiverfull get it much worse than the men and boys. They’re literally raised to believe that their only goal in life is to be wives and mothers and birth as many children as is physically possible. The boys at least are expected to be leaders, have jobs, and own businesses. The girls are walking…

It’s true that she’s brainwashed, but by that extent, so is he. I’m not minimizing that brainwashing: I grew up with a sadistic mother who abused me every moment of my day, took my money, didn’t allow me to drive, and once even called a college I got into to tell them I couldn’t attend because I had died...but I got…

Do you understand the kind of brainwashing that woman has been subject to for her entire life? People in Quiverfull circles actually think that divorce is worse than murder. She’s under incredible pressure from both sides of the family to “forgive” him. And since she’s probably been homeschooled her entire life until…

Why is he still allowed to be around children? His or any?

I always choose female primary care, the only issue ever being once in a while some baby talking instead of laymans. I’ve seen a few male specialists/urgent, some great, some very dismissive and a couple creepy experiences when I was high school aged- even recognizing that it wasn’t normal, you seriously…

So, this is in my neck of the woods, and plenty of family and friends graduated from there, and this horrifies me. Apparently, the coach who was there for years tried to convince the girls that this was normal, and if they couldn’t be convinced to just shut-up with the implication that if they said anything, they’d…

The entire administration and every one of my teachers knew that I was being molested by one of their own, a crown prince at the school. My fucking report card had memos by my teachers in the margins about too many absences excused by their good ‘ol buddy. Dont rock the boat don’t lose a dime of fund raising. And so…

Apparently internal manipulation is a component of Osteopathy (which makes me give the entire field a huge side eye), but generally it is done in an office, with a chaperone there, with advance knowledge and consent by the patient, with a gloved hand. This guy’s hallmarks were: in his basement / alone / as a surprise…

Thank God I’m not alone. I insist on female doctors also.

This scandal has just reinforced that my decision to not let my daughter do gymnastics was a very good choice. 

“A woman named Amanda told NBC News in an interview that she went to see Nassar when she was experiencing hip and back pain in 2014. During her appointment, he inserted his fingers inside her without warning and without gloves.”
