And to expand on why Pete Hegseth is dumb as a goddamn bag of bricks, it is revisionist bullshit to delcare that the Moon Landing was just “compelled by capitalism.” Go back and read JFK’s Moon Speech. The moon landing was compelled by two main things: The Russians were beating us to it, and also, the Moon was there.…

She is right up there with Ajit Pai for people in the Trump administration that I loath the most.  Taking action the way you did is a great way to send a message to her and the department.  Hopefully others follow your lead and the message becomes so loud that they can’t ignore it anymore. 

Yup. I am tangentially in the loop on a Title IX complaint, and the bulk of the offenses (which were EGREGIOUS) occurred either at local bars, faculty homes, or academic conferences.  And my guess would be that that is the norm.

As someone who has filed and won two EEOC sexual hrassment complaints against the DoD I can tell you that formal complaints and procedures are deliberetly designed to discourage and wash out victims.

The sad part is she was probably relieved and happy to not have to meet with your university. I mean, I think you did the right thing, but she seems like the laziest piece of shit and content to just show up for the absolute bare minimum. And she’s shameless.

My Betsy Devos anecdote: I work in higher ed communications. Normally, getting a meeting and photo op with the Secretary of Education is a guaranteed way to get some good local, regional, and often national press coverage. She was in my community recently and my recommendation—and what we eventually decided to do—was…

No. Ted Cruz’s father killed Kennedy. Ted Cruz is the Zodiac.

No, Ted Cruz’s father killed JFK, Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer.

They both look pretty good. I guess young healthy people look young and healthy. The real surprise is that Obama still looks and sounds good while most smokers I know seem to be turning into leather mannequins starting with the vocal cords.

I’m just going to steal Ashley Feinberg’s tweet on this one:

First Trump panics and starts his trademarked screaming and goes into a frenzy, then this news comes out and he starts to act smug and like it was never a big deal. I can easily see how he ran 2 casinos into the ground when he’s that bad at poker.

Well, I’m glad the judge declared a mistrial on the rest of the counts because they won’t be subject to double jeopardy. The judge was a total assface for this whole trial, and I cannot imagine that his (often inappropriate) remarks and rebukes to the prosecution had no impact on the jury.

Don’t forget the morons who will believe anything.

Mike Cernovich has an audience that we want to reach and that includes Republicans, conservatives, liberals, Democrats, people of all ilks.

It’s like he wants to say that it’s someone else’s word against the president’s, except he can’t because everybody knows that the president is a sleazy liar.

“And when you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he’s going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, well that’s so silly, because it’s somebody’s version of the truth. Not the truth,”

It should be emphasized that McGahn was never Trump’s personal lawyer, but White House Counsel, less personal and more oriented to the office of the presidency. He is not paid by Trump, not a member of the cartel. Trump ordered him to fire Mueller and he refused, as reported this past January:

I have one week of vacation left before the fall semester begins; I cannot wait to watch the freakouts that will proceed from the administration on the monitors in my gym over the coming days.

Seriously, I mostly just tune out the TVs and listen to my music while I play the part of suicidal hamster on the…

I shared a connection with Omarosa as a friend and a campaign sister, and I am absolutely shocked and saddened by her betrayal and violation on a deeply personal level.

Lol, I understand. My argument used to be “hey, at least I didn’t do drugs in high school and end up in and out of jail like half the kids in my graduating class” but apparently that and having a steady job and wife and kid isn’t enough because I have a hobby that isn’t falling asleep on the sofa at 7pm watching…
