What kind of court documents could someone read that would make them have the opinion that an alleged victim of a sex crime was “starved for attention” or “self-serving” or “lying?”

What?

Nope. This is true. Not of everyone of course. But it is definitely a phenomenon (Germans excepted). I once had a Spanish friend who told me that the British were the BAD colonizers. . . . .Because the Spaniards didn’t kill everyone. . . . .they just raped a lot and brought diseases. And if you bring up the words…

Also: in all their discussions of “precendent,” they’re using waaaaaaaay too much negative evidence. “It’s unprecedented!” they say, and it’s kind of like, “yes, because this situation doesn’t arise too often.”

Thanks for this. . . .I was just going to ask who is the most implicated, politically-speaking, in this situation.

All excellent points. Also, allowing super delegates to decide the primary OVER and ABOVE the popular vote would be so antithetical to the core of the party itself. It’s just not something the party would do. Now, I’m not saying the democratic party is squeaky clean and doesn’t pull sneaky shit—but this wouldn’t be…

Agreed. And, although I do not have evidence for this point either, I DO think it is better to not have a presumptive nominee. I feel like having Clinton coast to the finish would have bread a feeling of resentment among many voters. And, also, it’s good for the democratic party to have a primary that is lively—given…

So far, in my opinion, the primary has only been good for the democratic party. I don’t like Clinton much, but, every time I’ve seen her on the debate stage, I come away liking her more and more (or at least respecting the hell out of her). It won’t be good for us if it draws out too long. . . .but, right now, I feel…

I’m a Sanders girl myself, but would also be very happy with Clinton. And, though I do believe Sanders to be electable given a general, I’m slightly more confident that Clinton would take the general home no matter what—because she is a fighter and has the political acumen to call the GOP on their bullshit (unlike…

LOL, I LOVE it when trolls throw insults about topics they could never verify. . .

This is true and I agree w/ the general point. But, there are cases in which, if you’re not careful with the wording, it does sound like you’re creating a false equivalency. I think this is what irked some commenters over the OP’s post. I agree w/ the OP—no more bits off of babies, for sure. But I also think the…

Not just an asshole worth $275. . . . . an asshole worth $275 PER ROLL.

This makes me fucking sick. There are so many people living below the poverty line—so many CHILDREN who do not have access to good education and nutrition.

God I am an awful person, because, like I’ve said in previous conversations, I do have an issue with the idea of “outing” someone—even in the name of exposing hypocrisy (Which is an opinion I will continue to hold until many, many LGBT people tell me they support outing in order to expose anti-gay politicians’…

I fail to see how my response was silly. You set up a false dichotomy and I simply pointed that out. You are right—that this hypothetical is kind of meaningless—but, um, you are the one who set up the hypothetical in the first place.

That person’s comment makes absolutely zero sense. All of the liberal justices have records of dissenting on Citizens and upholding Roe v. Wade. I just don’t even get their comment.

What? Why can’t there be a Supreme Court Justice who would both uphold Roe v. Wade AND overturn Citizens United? I mean, correct me if I am wrong, but Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Breyer all opposed Citizens United. Justice Stevens, who is retired, wrote the dissent against Citizens United AND had a record of ruling for…

The polls are really bad at estimating minority voting. . . . they actually get very few latinos or african americans in the actual poll (which has a low sample size anyway) and then weight their vote UP or DOWN depending on how many minorities they think will vote (or not vote) that year. I’m not HRC wouldn’t get…

I’m white—but I know there is a lot of passion among many POC for Bernie. I’m not speaking for anyone—but the Facebook page “African Americans for Bernie Sanders” has a lot of really passionate and informed posters (and is actually the BEST pro-Bernie forum I have seen—the exchanges on that page are so much more…
