Seeing how well Clinton was prepared for the general, she would have made minced meat out of any of the other Republican candidates. It may have been a more conventional, my policies vs your policies debate, but she would have won the debates easily. The fallacy that Clinton is a bad campaigner was as much of an…

this isn’t an insanity defense: it’s an evaluation of his ability to understand the charges and not hinder his defense when the case goes to trial. since he can’t stop himself from saying stuff like “I’m guilty! I did it! No more baby parts!” in court, he’d be actively hindering his defense.

I apparently hate myself so I did read it, and was really disturbed by the fact that part of their reasoning was that Hillary is harmful to women because she has defended rapists. As an attorney, I find this to be very dangerous thinking. It is funny how the same people who obsess over the 2nd amendment somehow forget…

My new theory is 2016 is so painful because it is the birth pangs of a new, juster, world order.

Clearly my opinion is in the minority, but honestly are we just completely abandoning the idea that prison is for rehabilitation? Or at least, it is supposed to be-the way the US has designed it makes it much more difficult.

For a community allegedly devoted to advocating for women, I’m surprised at the utter lack of compassion for a woman who, as a disturbed and previously abused 19-year old, was exploited by one of the most horrifying manipulaters of our time, brainwashed, sexually violated, and fed massive quantities of psychedelic…

This is how serial killers get away with it. They target those who lack the social capital to defend themselves, who society ignores, and so they pass under the radar. Whether it’s trans women or sex workers or homeless people or drifters, when society ignores or demeans a certain populace, that’s exactly the set of…

Another thing I don’t understand is why some people, who agree with BLM, are mad at these people for trying to do good. They don’t just have a sign up, they also host BLM in their space. I understand it is easy to by cynical of everything, but if we never recognize that some people are trying to good things in this…

I was in there three days ago (visiting from Seattle) and almost all the people volunteering there were black, and the vast majority of the rest were people of color. I saw only a couple of white faces. So, yes. Sorry to ruin your snarky “question”, but the answer is an emphatic yes.

Here’s some shit Jezebel didn’t…

I think they were upset tha the BLM sign was removed so it wouldn’t be seen on the show. They also state BLM Portland also meets there regularly, and are also reminding people of the historic racism of the Oregon and Portland in particular. Oregon was formed to be a “white utopia”

THAT is what I was going to look up this morning: TOTAL NUMBER OF TIMES TRUMP INTERRUPTED. You say 70 and I will accept that, I suspect even more but I do not have the stamina to count without my brain exploding.

And that would be walking into the trap. As a former boss of mine said “You don’t wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig has fun.” Just ignoring it was the best course.

I think you dance around the issue with this portion of your comment:

Yeah, the right has been calling her a cold bitch, too political, etc since Bill got elected and they realized she wasn’t just decoration. 24 years of that same narrative creates an image in people’s minds, unfortunately.

Do you not understand what’s at stake? Have you not been watching this repulsive human being? Abstaining from voting isn’t going to make any regime “go away,” it’s just putting him one step closer to the white House where he can play with people’s lives and destroy our planet. But if that’s what makes you sleep at…

I truly think it’s her gender. There is no other possible explanation.

I also liked Jerry Springer’s tweet

Their next tweet is pretty good. Someone in the Lawrence police department has a sense of humor:

I know the audience wasn’t supposed to react. Which makes great sense and is sound policy. But the derisive laughter when Trump insisted his temperament was his strongest point was kind of a delicious guilty pleasure.

Lol
