Because she’s not their protege! And the dynamics are different. I can’t tell if you’re serious with that question. 

Ugh. Patriarchy. Patriarchy everywhere. 

No I get it, but is it necessary? If she just snagged Cooper/Bennett up there and they sang, it wouldn’t also be cool? A Star Is Born’s gross dynamics that women have swooned for are being carried into this for no damn reason. She’s a huge star and was a huge star before this atrocity of a film. 

“How the tables have turned. At her Las Vegas show last night, it was Lady Gaga’s chance to discover Bradley Cooper.”

I’m sorry... what? This implies that Cooper plucked Gaga out of some obscure existence. Even if this is just a reference to that godawful movie, the whole her on her knees, adoring him, is so ick. 

A jury can opt to find her not guilty (check out some of the jury nullification threads on this post). A jury doesn’t declare a mistrial, a judge does. In the case that the jury can’t agree, the judge will declare a mistrial and then the prosecution decides if it’s cost-effective/politically necessary to try again. 

I’m glad you googled this so you can opine! It’s not “illegal” for an attorney to bring it up but in most courts it will get your ass reamed by the judge. It’s also an assumption that only our better angels will use jury nullification when in fact, that very same reasoning could be used to justify not convicting very…

Ha! The case I was thinking about was in Michigan: https://reason.com/blog/2017/06/02/jurors-convict-man-for-telling-jurors-ab

Incorrect. 

That’s... not it. If you’re a prosecutor running for reelection, I’m not sure you’d put “jailed a teacher for helping a sick child” on my platform, nor would I want that on my docket. At all. It’s bad optics, as they say. 

I would advise against that, as a lawyer, because amazingly, people have been convicted for jury tampering for doing so, despite both the content of the pamphlets AND the conduct being legal. 

For real. I would consider letting this go to trial and see if a jury of my peers would convict me. 

Oh, you know, reasonably attractive, if WASPy features. Highlights include a dismissive look, the shoulders of a competitive rower, and whatever hate for MAGA teens looks like. I hope it’s obvious. 

Are... you ok? There are so many outright falsehoods and outrageous claims in just your one comment, I don’t even know where to start. Maybe just with your last sentence, as if those boys who came to “protest” a woman’s right to abortion care aren’t also at the forefront of homophobia. It’s a Catholic school FFS.…

Can we also talk about the ridiculousness of a pack of teenage boys being terrified for their lives while being “accosted” by African Israelites? Why are we letting that skate? That’s not a reasonable fear, it’s in itself borne out of deep racism. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Keep doubling down on your dumb, snarky comment that you were just dyyyyyyyyying to make first. Hey, look, you can even read more below the fold: “Back in April 2017 I pushed myself to the limit catering no less than a 1000 meals per day,” Rolle wrote. “Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all prepared…

It’s always remarkable when someone hasn’t watched the Thing and feels like they can comment on the Thing’s specifics. She fed the crew of many dozens who were putting the event together. You think large-scale events, even utter shitshows, get put together the night before? They were on Exuma for weeks. 

From the interview, it seems to look like she won’t leave the kids with him because he’s a useless stump. People do agree to manage their lives in certain ways (I hate laundry, my boyfriend hates making travel plans) but I can’t imagine any woman, or any human, would choose to be tethered to their homebase/children…

My ex took a weird turn from great dude to Patriarchy Nightmare when he started to brag about “helping” with the dishes/laundry/pets. It’s not helping, you pissbaby, you live here.

Even if this was the meal she had prepared, do you know how much it costs to feed 1000 people for a period of several days. much less weeks? Not just in materials (which are always more expensive on an island) but also in labor? Even if each meal cost $1 per person all-in, and they ate only two meals a day, you’d blow…

It’s a bad argument even with the steadiest of hands at the helm because it goes to follow that a candidate can do whatever the fuck they want, crime-wise, to win an election and so long as they win, the crimes they committed to obtain office are unprosecutable. That’s a very strong incentive to do the most and best…
