“our country needed a huge change and it wouldn’t happen if Hillary was elected or something to that effect.”

Citizens don’t press charges. Police or DA’s do (different in different places.) In this case she went to the police and the DA is deciding whether or not to pursue charges.

Oh I forgot, going to a house party after a show means you consent to other guests sexually assaulting you. 100% defense to rape right there. Nice job, homey. 😒 

How the fuck did you get out of the greys?

I’m glad I’m not the only person who thinks this is what happened! Kanye only asked about the first half of the lyric on the video, not the second (“I made that bitch famous”), and I could easily see Kanye having not writte it yet and, Kanye being Kanye, assuming Taylor had given him blanket consent. Taylor only ever…

Maybe overly pedantic on my part, but the victim wasn’t a student at Stanford. From the letter she read in court, Emily Doe indicated she was out of college, and was only there because she was attending a party on campus with her younger sister.

Me: “Persky? The judge who gave Brock Turner that bullshit sentence? I can’t imagine any way I could dislike him more.”

I think the reality is, Kanye told her about part of the song, not the whole thing (and the phone calls seem to confirm this), he didn’t necessarily do that intentionally to mislead her, but she felt mislead and reacted. I think Kim missed the nuance of Taylor being ok with some of it, but not all of it, and felt like…

Way to read the crowd and get back on the side of good public opinion you fucking motherfucking fuck.

I’m confused — did you bang him on a park bench, or refuse to touch him at his grandfather’s funeral?

She does not like public displays of affection because she is “old-world and European”

Hi, so I’m just here to ruin the fun and point out that “gipped” or “jipped” or “gypped” —or however you want to write it— is an ethnophaulism against Romani peoples. It’s not a very nice word to say ☹

Trump is so broke!

One issue could have been that her attorney at the time was a hack who Cohen frequently referred clients to. So he may have told her that 130k was a huge settlement and she should take it.

She explained that she took the low sum because she was also receiving threats while arrangements were being made. Also, her attorney at the time — not Avenatti — was working with Cohen. That’s why she dropped him.

Conservatives are a goddam disease on this nation, on progress and on all female citizens of this nation.

My daughter is seven years old. She collects stuffed animals. Her favorite website is books.*

For any non-parents who are wondering if this is just the new normal or whatever, my son is 9 years old and his interneting consists of selections from the “floof” cannon and Paddington’s Twitter account (which is pure, undiluted JOY, by the way - read it when you are having a crap day). And he has an iPad and…

A nice idea, but Trump can’t read.

Listening to NPR - we have been in this situation before with lots of grandiose promises from North Korea. This has happened in almost every administration. They promise to denuclearize and guess what? They don’t. So, until the borders are open to North Korea, until I see people going back and forth between the two…
