So this is fun.

Actually, Cleveland is largely Democratic.  He won for *us* - not the rest of this shithole state.

I had an IKEA bed that did NOT survive a cross-country move.  I am 100% in agreement with your sentiments here.

I think there are a couple reasons he’s doing this. First, given that I don’t believe Donald is NEARLY as rich as he says he is, I think he’s pissed that a black man is ALSO very wealthy and got his wealth in a legitimate way (read: not from Russians). Second, I think that he’s mad because LeBron is making Trump’s…

Well, I can tell you that she was named after the song “Eponine” by Ozma, which was one of the first bands he and his late wife bonded over.  So that’s why she’s named after a song, not a character.

My cats:

Although I understand your anger at the American public, I would ask you, what would you have us do? The answer isn’t, “You shouldn’t have allowed this to happen in the first place,” because Trump did not win the popular vote. He won the electoral vote. There is a difference. Additionally, no one could have accounted…

I changed my registration to Democratic immediately after the election. I’m a liberal, so the Democrats disappoint me by being too conciliatory, even though philosophically I believe in the value of compromise.

I’ve had bipolar disorder since I was 19. It didn’t get treated til I was around 28 (circa 2013). I started seeing my therapist then, and by the time of the election, I was really stabilized - my entire life had changed, and I felt loads better than I ever had in the past. I was feeling very hopeful for the future,…

I think mostly it’s because when he was the CEO of his company, a) everyone WOULD do whatever he said lest they be fired, and b) he got away with breaking the law so much because nobody gave a flying fart.  That’s why I was able to go most of my life without having to think about him longer than he was ever on my…

I’m convinced that’s why it’s taken this long - Mueller is playing the long game and trying to make sure that ANYONE who was complicit is hung out to dry.  Looking at you, Pence.

Unfortunately, in a criminal proceeding, the victim isn’t entitled to present arguments - in a civil proceeding, I don’t think this argument would hold, either, because there needs to be consideration in order to form a valid contract; here, there would have been no consideration given.

Yeah, as I recall, he got six months, of which he only served three. And I suspect that because his legal team is getting paid hourly, they’re happy to argue whatever seems even the tiniest bit plausible if Mommy and Daddy’s money are paying for it.

Thank you for sharing your struggle - that’s one of the hardest things to do.  You are very strong already, and you can get through this.  Be well and take care of yourself.

It’s really sad but I’ve almost gotten used to people saying that kind of thing.  At this point I just tell them that I hope it never happens to them.

*hugs* I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Frankly, I’d be fine if they just wrote, “Get the fuck out of here.”

This is a BRILLIANT argument and I’d like to use it, because I’ve needed something to argue that point with for a while now.  My assault was like Emily Doe’s - it wasn’t PIV penetration, it was oral and digital penetration.  I’ve actually had people tell me that it “isn’t the same as real rape” and “at least it wasn’t…

I went to law school, and I’ve heard some absolutely absurd arguments in my time, but holy crap on a cracker, this takes the cake.

For anyone out there who is about to claim this is her fault or make fun of her, etc., I advise you to watch this video from 2007. It explains it better than I ever could. I posted it on Twitter too, because I was getting so mad at people making light of this.
