“on one issue”

This is EXACTLY why I didn’t trust Bernie from day 1.

They will always be rapists, I don’t think they can be rehabilitated because then they’d have to see women as people, and they fundamentally do not. You can’t teach someone empathy.

There’s no way out for the person he raped. Why should the perp be treated better than the victim?

I am a survivor too. Rehabilitation isn’t about improving perpetrators lives. It’s about preventing reoffending. So as much as I may like the idea of increasing stigma and making rapists suffer I ultimately care more about having them never ever do it again.

Yeah, to me the picture is just meant as a reminder that the image we see of him now has been deliberately manipulated to look more meek and innocent, not to imply that skinny, nerdy looking guys can’t rape.

I am a survivor and I will always be a survivor. I will never get to know what my life would have been like had I not been raped. So, yeah, he can carry that for the rest of his life, just like she will carry what he did to her for the rest of her life.

Me, defiantly:

Kids straight up adored him just as much as the adults. Whenever I feel sad, I just dig up pics of him and his White House staff and take a trip down memory lane.

I don’t see Trump, himself, doing this. (He’ll be off in Florida this weekend. It’s a safe bet. He doesn’t like children.) I am guessing he will hand this over to Ivanka. She and her husband will be the ones on the lawn much to their chagrin. (No one in that family seems like a kid person.) It will practically be the…

If only there were some way to keep airlines from selling more seats than are physically available in a plane.

I’m HOH, so much that living in the hearing world is so difficult sometimes that I don’t want to get out of bed. I was mainstreamed to read lips only. No sign. Thanks parents and teachers! I was raised to please your hearing world. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my eyes right now reading some of the…

Is it the dimple?

We have an anonymous support group that meets every week on Tuesdays.

I’ve just recently discovered that...Harry Styles is really hot. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt attracted to someone younger than me and it makes me feel dirty. Also, I like this song and am really looking forward to Dunkirk.

As I mentioned in another thread, I was skeptical—but this looks pretty good, for a teaser.

“I assure you, plenty do not care one whit.”

Teenage boys in trench coats have lost some cachet the last 18 years or so.

I worked on Dance Moms for years and Abby Lee Miller has been at odds with the field and post production since season 1. She has 0 idea how television works and about 1000 suggestions that would sink the show. She and the field guy HATE each other but even a saint would not be able to deal with her. She also pulls…
