This also has the benefit of essentially confirming the accuracy of the NYTimes report on his tax returns when he mentions his $975 million loss. It also suggests that it clearly wasn’t his actual loss since, as he claims, he negotiated it down to around $115 million...

If enough states decriminalize marijuana, then I think she will as well. She’s not stupid and she’s also responsive to stuff like that, especially when presented with legit arguments in support. That said, she’s not going to do it until she knows 2020 is on lock. She has enough fake nonsense to deal with without…

Also she is 100% right that its absolutely a violation of the 4th Amendment. The 4th Amendment provides rights to individual citizens. You can’t just search the entire populace without probable cause for each person...

I think it was more of a pride thing than anything else. Unlike tax returns, its never been required of presidential nominees to release transcripts of private speeches and she decided to die on that hill. I mean did anything think they were going to have big revelations of her secret evil plan to serve America to…

Eyes Wide Shut is legit one of Kubrick’s greatest movies. Honestly, I make peace with the darkness of the Cruise/Kidman marriage (not that my opinion matters) because of how brilliant that movie is (and it requires their fraught relationship for it to work).

Seriously, not to mention that you could read about any 20 random pages of the Neopolitan Novels and know that there is no way the author is a man.

Except the university isn’t imposing criminal penalties, its expelling the person they found to have violated school policies on sexual conduct. There’s no criminal record, there’s no sex offender list, there’s no jail, there’s simply (typically anonymous) expulsion. Most schools go to great lengths to protect the…

I don’t think anyone is trying to sway his most hardcore supporters, they are a lost cause, but there aren’t enough of them for him to win with them alone. Who this sways are the reluctant Republicans who don’t really like him, but can’t bring themselves to vote for Clinton or not vote and indirectly elect her and the…

I feel like OP is incorrect to say she has never had a 5 octave range, because the receipts are there are and they are LEGENDARY, but it remains unclear whether she still does...

Goddess bless Michiko Kakutani and her shady ways.

That’s because Oregon was set up to explicitly exclude black people from settling there...

OK I misspoke, change it to whenever anyone pits two groups that have suffered and continue to suffer from discrimination... Point still stands asshole.

I’m saying police and prosecutors definitely offer less due process than a court. According to the link YOU presented, there’s no evidence that anyone was convicted for falsely reporting a rape accusation (mostly because that’s not a crime in most states) there is only evidence, not prosecuted fully through a court of…

So they come from law enforcement agencies, which is far less due process than the John Doe in this case got. There was no one else determining whether they were false aside from the law enforcement agencies, based on the info you just linked to. Please keep trying though.

I know, but I’m in a weird mood and I want to fight with trolls to deal with my feelings.

Gurl, I think we all know that the school showed its obvious bias in favor of Jameis Winston in that situation. You are seriously grasping at straws here.

Fine, you are right, but I am also right to point out that there is no evidence that any of these women were convicted of false accusations. It’s just there was evidence that tended to show that their claims were false (which, given how the burden of proof works in a criminal case, is even less of a burden than…

If you really don’t think I understand the issue of false rape accusations against black men and the way that makes current rape accusations against black men more fraught with tension, that’s adorable. That said, I find it hard to believe that the fucking University of Pennsylvania supported a false rape accusation…

You do understand its far easier to prove a false accusation occurred than it is to prove that a sexual assault occurred right? The vast majority of that 2-8% number is from civil litigation for defamation, where the standard of evidence is a preponderance of the evidence.

Whenever commenters pit two minority groups against each other, I tend to find it hard to believe that they really care about either one...
