I know you probably know all this and it doesn’t change how you feel, but you deserve to hear it again and again: it wasn’t your fault. You did nothing wrong. You did the best you could. You didn’t give him an “open invitation”, he attacked an unconscious person. You didn’t need to confront him, you needed to leave,…

Question for David McCullough: since when did presidents start referring to themselves in the third person? Does it go back to Thomas Jefferson and I missed it?

ummm, wtf??

dumpster fire

Hillary Clinton “overprepared” for her debates with Trump.

THIS.  I want a boring policy wonk.  I’m hoping the whole Pocahontas thing was the extent of Warren’s messiness, because right now I’m leaning toward her. 

A-FUCKING-MEN.

Look man...

I’m very sorry for what you went through and the lack of justice.  It’s sadly all too common.  I was by no means dismissing abuse.

no one ever “found” my ex husband to be violent either, but he damn sure put my head thru the drywall 3x, threw me from a moving vehicle, drug me down the steps by my heel, drug me out to the street by my hair & beat the shit out of me discreetly for 18 years, just sayin’. If it wasn’t for my 8 yr old daughter telling…

William, Sarasota police wrote, struck several blows to his mother’s head and torso and left her “to lie in a pool of blood” and then “unplugged the landline phone cord depriving the victim and [the younger brother] the use of 911 to render aid.”

Not to mention, that he was earning near a billion dollars a year, how much of the agreement was for her to take less of the money?

I’ll bet he did agree; wanted to just drop the “whole unfortunate business” that was his three children and head off to start over, as all white men are entitled to do at all times.

I read the entire wapo story. He claimed a few problematic things, one that he stayed at work to avoid her when she was raving and abusive, and that he knew she was emotionally unstable. The other is her documented arrests. He was 3000 miles away from his kids knowing she was unstable in the first place, and according…

I mean, “inappropriate relationship” seems a bit light, the son could very well be a rape victim (depending on consent laws)— the “relationship” also adds a lot of context to the assault and really, really highlights one of the reasons why the “no harm he probably loved it” approach to boys and statuatory rape is…

Not only a woman in her mid-30s, but the former *nanny*. Ugh, I knew someone in high school and he and his dad were both sleeping with the nanny. I just grossed myself out with that memory....

Read the original WaPo article for missing details like the mother (who sounds like she’s got some problems) finding out the 17-year old son was having an inappropriate relationship with a 37-year old woman and daddy shanahan took the kid’s cell phone and kept it from the police.

I read on another site that the mom was berating the kid (17 yrs old) for having an affair with a women in her mid-30s.  I’m a mom with a 20 year old - doesn’t sound out of line to me!!  I would have lost my mind knowing that my son (a junior in high school) was having an affair with a woman that age.  Call me…

Really poor headline, as Shanahan was never found himself to be violent. He is still a shitbag, but call him a shitbag on the right grounds. Everyone is of course entitled to guess or not if the wife saying he hit her means he’s absolutely hit her, but to put it in a headline is crap. He left his kids to be with a…

I hated my mother with the fire of a thousand suns. She was a vicious abusive alcoholic.
