Wait. What!? No one is saying she’s a victim for having sex. She was a victim of the media that turned on her and layed blame at her feet for the affair with Bill was the one who was a married man who arguably took advantage of his positoin of power to sleep with a twenty something intern just seven years older than…

I believe she was advised to keep the dress by Linda Tripp, an older co-worker of hers, who she confided in. Tripp, surreptitously recorded all of her phone conversations with ML and then gave them to Ken Starr. She was a real class act.

And that has what to do with the Trump ad? Also, she had graduated from college and once again it was consensual and she does not label herself a victim. Other people do so it will fit their narrative.

Again, she does not refer to herself as a “victim”, but as a victim of bullying. The first implies assault when used in a sexual context. And an impeachment hearing isn’t exactly a slap on the wrist.

while dislike of clinton is very high, trumps’s unfavorables among poc and women will prove his undoing. sure, he’s appealing to joe the plumber types, but they are an ever-smaller part of the electorate.

She will win both. The other problem with polls is that, because of methodology (hello landlines) they tend to skew older, whiter and more male.

Sure. But if Clinton loses the popular vote and wins on electoral votes, I might consider that to be an even larger threat to the Democratic party and how Americans view it. People will be suspicious and upset.

Chelsea Clinton is almost a decade younger than Monica Lewinsky.

The larger problem for Trump is that how many people will vote for him is less important than where those people are. We don’t have a popular vote in this country, we have an electoral college. Somewhere he needs to pick up 64 more electoral collage votes than Romney, and he’s already shot himself in the Florida.

By the Clintons, not so much.
By the Republicans? Well, they want to pretend that a consensual beej that happened 20 years ago was—and still is—the worst thng ever. So what would that make her?
What happened to Ms.Lewinsky wasn’t so much victim-blaming as collateral damage from vicious, grossly irresponsible,…

Well, it WAS part of the vast right wing conspiracy. It’s likely no one would’ve known about it, other than talk in gossip pages, if Ken Starr had not been desperately searching for something, anything to justify the fruitless and expensive Whitewater investigation.

A new thing that today’s cadre of gender judges needs to realize: they aren’t the only game in town or even the majority any more.

I work in a holocaust museum as a tour guide. Not a day has passed since Trump basically became the nominee that one of my kids/teachers/chaparones hasn’t brought up Trump. Usually, less as a direct allegory to Hitler and more of an example when I ask about racism or prejudice, but there are definite parallels. His…

First and last time I ever voted Republican: Bill Weld and Paul Cellucci for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts in ‘90.

You sound a bit ignorant of what Kristallnacht was since it happened in 1938, a year before WWII started and four before the Final Solution was implemented.

You know the genocide didn’t just start overnight, right? The holocaust wasn’t a one-day event. It was a campaign over many years. And the earliest of those years bear a striking resemblance to a lot of the rhetoric and ideas being tossed about today.

He didn’t compare it to the Holocaust.

Generally Holocaust analogies are a bad idea. But I find the complacency of people saying “he doesn’t really mean it” to be terrifying!

I was acqainted with an A-lister for about a year in a non-Hollywood context. I don't have any dirt on this celeb, but I have a fair amount of personal info and anecdotes. Every time he is mentioned on here I have an impulse to chime in. And then I remember that everything I know is boring and it is really more…
