The dirt on Kushner betrays his violation of the Hatch Act of 1939; he and Flynn were meddling in foreign policy while Obama was still president, circumventing the State Dept. and thus, actual national policy. (Related to his meetings with Sergey Kislyak during the campaign and the interregnum). Was he acting on…

And let’s not forget that they were both competing against a 16 year old orphan whose home was based on her ability to skate and competing against a woman consistently knocked on points because she could do a backflip. Not to mention, one half of the US ice dancing couple was skating two weeks after her brother…

“Women need to learn to speak out more. No wait I’m not done. They don’t advocate for themselves very well.”

Yes, Nancy didn’t do anything wrong here! She worked just as hard and she was brutally attacked. The advantages she had were a loving rather than abusive family (and one that shined up much better for the cameras) and that she had the kind of good looks that were begging for a Wheaties box.

A welder who sometimes worked 3 jobs. She might have been a hockey player like her brothers if growing up today (that’s why the Campbell Soup ad was so good). Her hot mic comments on the Disney float was closer to her roots. She had good handlers who crafted a good image for its time but, a couple of decades later,…

Even in reality, she’s a larger-than-life, unsympathetic character: a tough-to-root-for whiner who’s publicly never taken responsibility for her poor choices.

I am so sad to hear that this isn’t a more understanding treatment of her story. I’m not exactly Team Tonya, but I’m definitely not Team Nancy and I think Tonya deserves a revisionist telling of her story that acknowledges her achievement in the face of serious disadvantage and abuse.

Ehhh, they’re not 100% wrong though. Nancy had top designers literally giving her skating outfits for free. Also, Nancy wasn’t coming from an abusive home life. None of this is to excuse Tonya Hardings roll in the hit on Kerrigan but she most definitely wasn’t tread the same as Kerrigan by the skating community…

No disagreements with the points raised here, but the article headline is misleading. The people quoted here are relatives of Navajo Code Talkers, not the Navajo Code Talkers themselves. I clicked thinking I was going to get the opinion of one of the two men standing next to Trump in the video.

I’m thinking her facial expression is actually saying “is getting paid in exposure really worth it?”

we now live in a society where victims of rape and sexual abuse are questioned or dismissed every step of the way, if they have the gall to report their abuser. i’m sure that’s preferable, than a man getting called out on social media for being an abuser, and losing a job or two. (because that’s as bad as it’s gonna…

Interesting what is an arrestable offense now that a bigoted ignorant sexual predator is grifter in chief compared to when a black family was in the White House where free speech and “it’s just a joke” was used as an excuse for unjustified cruelty.

While it is true that a false claim—even if disproven—can have a damaging impact on the life of the accused, the fact is that false reports are a vanishingly small percentage of all reported cases of harassment, assault, and rape.

The last time I checked, the conservative estimate of “false reports” as related to rape…

Congratulations, you have contributed to why people don’t come forward!

Yep exactly. The current GOP is not so much a different legal opinion on the constitution as it is as just a bullshit attempt at creating a government that serves their needs and no one else’s. It’s no wonder the current GOP comes out of the Dixiecrat remnants of the confederate democrats (much to chagrin of…

Also, their views on actual laws is notoriously inconsistent:

The only reason Bevin came out against Hoover was to get him out of the way so he can force through his horrendous pension plan, and I reckon the specificity of his statement was to prevent it accidentally doubling as a call against Trump. Eight Republicans came out against Hoover following Bevin’s statement, which…

Please, good Lord, let this bring down Steve King.

Oklahoma has had a delightful run as well. At least five Republicans have resigned for sexual misconduct THIS TERM, and one Democrat has resigned and dropped out of the primary for governor for undisclosed personal reasons that read like an affair (and the state’s political gossips say it’s an affair). It’s a great…
