no it’s not.
Consenting adults, the blame for the marriage part goes 100% to the one that is married and cheating.
I’d allow a small % of the blame to go to the cheated on, because sometimes they brought it on themselves, but the lover did not take a vow to any magical being in the sky or even a city official.

The more…

as the world finally catches up to the fact that she was a young intern who made a mistake was taken advantage of by an old white man in a position of power.

And that’s the problem. She tried to move on and do something different, but she couldn’t because that’s what she was known for. He continued to be very successful on the speaking circuit and still polled well with women. He got to have a life. She didn't.

She has far more grace than I could ever imagine having in her situation. I imagine the bullshit will more or less persist until her eventual obituary, which of course will reference Clinton.

We are only just starting to begin to dip our collective toes in the water in figuring out links between TBI, depression, and suicidal ideation.

Do you seriously not know that there are varying degrees of sexual assault according to the law already? There are varying laws and statutes in place and varying punishments for that law. Everyone knows this except you apparently.  And if you read those laws, they apply to any PERSON committing the crimes, not just…

Well, if we had a functioning U.S. Attorney General, sure. But right now we have a guy in that gig who looked Corey Booker dead in the face in his confirmation hearing and said “the justice system treats all people equally” even though Paul Manafort got a sentence for hundreds of millions in money laundering & bank…

When I was a kid growing up in a conservative, Evangelical community I thought, Okay, women are held to different standards and given fewer rights and privileges, but we’re protected and cherished so it’s fine. Then I grew up a little and realized, Nope, no protecting or cherishing going on at all. Carlson just…

Yeah. When the court introduces recorded audio evidence of Jeffs raping a twelve-year-old child bride (with help from another wife), it goes beyond “well, arranged marriages are different, y’know.”

Well, he works for Fox after all. Their motto is "The truth is out there, but it's too far away."

This is what I was thinking. He has a 14 year old daughter, and 14 year old daughters have 14 year old friends. No way in hell I’d let my 14 year old anywhere near this creepy ass fuck.

I would bet the same.

Some of the most talked-about studies going on in psychology right now are on depression and the patient’s perceptions of being needed. Very early results are that suicidal inclinations are linked to feelings of alienation and disconnection, and that we can ‘quickly’ alleviate the worst of these symptoms by helping…

Yeah, when I saw she was in her first year at a top MATH PhD program, I wondered about this...sounds like she was immensely talented, and it takes a very high achiever to accomplish what she did by the age of 23. PhD programs can really exacerbate existing mental health issues, especially in the first year, when…

Such a loss, and so sad. From this SF Gate story, it seems like she was so good at so many things:

What a devastating story.

How about adding a bit at the bottom with info for the suicide lifeline?

Yeah, Jeffs’ crimes were many and they were heinous. Tucker seems to be saying here “We don’t really know anything” when what he means is “I can’t be bothered to find out anything.”

Let’s not forget that Bubba (Clem) was the one that was besties with Hulk Hogan , and it was the sex tape of Hogan (Terry Bollea)‘s sleeping with Clem’s wife that shut down Gawker. Clem is a rancid piece of shit, want to be Howard Stern, shock jock from my name city, but not the actual city where I live. The city and…

When a guy named Bubba the Love Sponge is telling you you’ve gone too far and sounds more reasonable than you, you know it’s bad. Also, guys like Tucker see teenage girls as their future 3rd wives. When you think of them as a few years off from being your next trophy wife, it’s a easy to sexualize them. 

I bet a forensic search of his home computer would end in federal charges.
