They should be more scared of Avenatti than Mueller, TBH. With Mueller there’s a whole mountain of bullshit they can heave in his way to derail the investigation. With the Stormy Daniels case (and civil litigation in general), the President doesn’t really have any special protections. Sure, it won’t put him in prison…

Due process is only for domestic abusers, traitors, and rapists. Everyone else has to make do with nothing.

Let’s put it this way — there is a section of Trump’s voters who generally approve of his job performance but think that he is too soft on immigrants. There is a section of his base that regularly refers to him as “Amnesty Don” because he occasionally entertains hypothetical scenarios where DACA recipients are not…

I don’t know if there would be any true difference on this issue. Trump may not personally be a hardcore believer of socially conservative principles, but he is enacting the same policies that Pence would have if he had been elected. Sure, he’s been stymied by the Congress but that wouldn’t have changed if Pence was…

Tomi does have a resemblance to two of his three wives, one of his two (known) porn stars, and the daughter that he likes more.

I guess it kind of got weird after a while. He would walk into conference rooms where classified information was being discussed and everyone would just fall silent. People would awkwardly shuffle papers out of sight, start checking their phones, and studiously avoiding eye contact. Eventually General Kelly or General…

Yeah I’m always suspicious of articles like this. That’s not to say that there aren’t fucked up things with rape culture worldwide, but the implication of this article is that non consensual sex was legal in Sweden until today and that isn’t something that should be believed without a source.

I have a less ambitious fantasy — that people will get off their lazy asses and VOTE in 2018. We wouldn’t even be in this miserable situation if people didn’t sit at home muttering “both parties are the same” two years ago. I honestly think that if we can flip the Senate we wouldn’t have to spend the next two years…

Season 2 was ghastly. It was like a first draft without any editors. I have heard season 3 is better, but I haven’t been able to see it since it isn’t on Hulu.

Honestly, it kind of annoys me when newspapers publish all these speculative motives for mass shooters. I remember after Pulse there were a ton of articles suggesting that rejection by gay Puerto Rican men led to the killing. None of that was based on anything solid or provable, and ended up being completely false,…

It took her a year and a half to even announce the name of her campaign, and it was “be best”. It’ll probably take a year and a half to start looking up examples for the campaign, and hopefully by then she won’t be First Lady any more and won’t have to pretend to care about this shit.

What I find interesting is that this is the only area where he seems to prioritize “collective good” over “individual freedom”. In every other context, he says that if you need something (healthcare, a job, etc.) it’s on you to get it and it’s not society’s responsibility to guarantee that you have it. But when it…

This is dumber. CPR is at least sort of useful to know, whereas removing all but one entrance to a school is actively dangerous.

Assuming the gunman doesn’t stand at the one entrance of course.

Compensatory damages for personal injury aren’t taxed. The lawyers on contingency will probably get about 1/3rd.

I would be shocked if MSU has a $500 million insurance contract; at that level of liability, the premiums would be astronomical even if nothing ever happened.

My theory — they needed a slimy doctor who would look the other way about all of the (non sexual) abuse of gymnasts going on by other parts of the USA Gymnastics machine. Another, more ethical doctor might have reported some of the stuff they were up to.

90% of the time when you visit Jezebel it’s perfectly normal, and the other 10% of the time it’s just flat out bonkers. It’s completely unpredictable when it will be weird or normal.

Bolton knows exactly what he was saying. He’s a warmonger, even more so than most of the people on Trump team. Not only does he not believe in the use of diplomacy, he doesn’t even want it to work. He basically told Kim that he would die if he gave up WMDs. Even if that was the plan, why would you say that unless you…

She just has a thing for Justins.
