I didn’t assume he was being blithe. I assumed he was using a legal term... to discuss the law.

Why is the prosecutor not under more scrutiny for pushing this bullshit probation only sentence? This is so fucked up on so many levels.

There is no effective rehabilitation for child rapists.

Raping a child is a violent offense.

He’s down to about 35% support now, and this was before the whole no NRA/yes NRA, due process (which upset the right-wingers more than the threat of taking their guns), and the appalling tariff issue. That approval rating is in Nixon territory just before he resigned.

This is the most galling point. He sold himself as being the consummate businessman, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. HE IS TERRIBLE AT BEING A BUSINESSMAN!

Harley-Davidsons, bourbon, and jeans. ‘Murica.

A friendly reminder that in the last trade war which occurred under Bush Jr, 200 000 Americans lost their jobs and the US lost, as usual. Now take a loser like Trump, who has never once run a successful company, and put him in a trade war situation! Let’s see if he can top Bush Jr’s 200k jobs lost! The first part is…

and this...i have not read the story and am not always sure about The Hill’s reporting but...

The EU has just announced that if the US imposes tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium, there will be retaliatory tariffs on Harley-Davidson (Wisconsin - bye bye! Scott Walker), bourbon (seeya GOP) and US-made jeans.

That Alec Baldwin tweet throws me off a bit. I know the original that had “Dying” spelled as “Dieing” was deleted. I can only assume a staffer wrote the second by the copious use of commas.

Reminds me of the pick-up artist blogs who commiserated that if only the guy who shot up a gym full of women could have gotten a date he wouldn’t have killed anyone. Are they really saying that a guy who abuses or kills women deserved to have *more* female affection? Couldn’t we also consider the idea that women fled…

That is a good point. Does a woman abused by a boyfriend generally enjoy beating the shit out of her next boyfriend? Does a female rape victim generally go on to rape men?

people who have suffered abuse and other trauma are OVERWHELMINGLY over-represented among defendants.

say it again

Women like a bad man: “Why do women always go for assholes who treat them badly? Ugh. There’s no point being a nice guy.”

Women don’t like a bad man: “If women were nicer to him he probably wouldn’t have done what he did!”

Slow. Clap.

Compelx? Bullshit. He had power and money and he abused it.

One of the Columbine shooters had parents who adored him, gave him a loving home, made sure he got help he needed, and fretted over his happiness. Contrary to what Paul Harvey claimed.

Women don’t owe you shit.
