“There are a lot of things that make healthcare outcomes incredibly unequal in America, not least wealth and race.”

Well, yeah. Why even have all those defense mechanisms and do all that projecting if you’re just gonna turn around and, ya know, stare right at the truth and accept it?

The lackluster drones that run the Democratic Party are all too obliging in letting the republican vampire escape its crypt over and over. There is no need to treat them civilly or with respect. They need to crush them when they get the advantage. They need to use language to paint them as the monsters they are. It is…

It will return to business as normal after Trump is gone. I do believe Trump will be regarded as the singular worst POTUS in history immediately and forever, but it will not affect the orthodoxy. The backlash will be brief, but Republicans will always be doing the same things, and low taxes will never not be appealing…

The GOP is not going to bother to change; they’re relying on billionaires to fund their campaigns. Their main goal at this stage is to just make it has hard as possible for people of color to vote. And, as we are seeing in North Carolina, they’ll steal an election if they have to, in order to keep their power. Why…

why are you saying “alleged”? Age of consent is 18 in FL and these girls were 14. Epstein is a straight up child molester.

“Believe me, if I had known that anything improper had ever taken place in that house, I never would have allowed my children, my grandchildren, my wife, my daughter-in-law, my son, to have spent time there,” Dershowitz said.

The Bellagio didn’t come around till almost 15 years after The Mirage. TI was several years - 5 or so - after The Mirage.

“You never stop being a person’s lawyer”.

Pretty sure that was his point, Professor.

Just FYI, you have the details of the more recent allegations wrong. Dr. Allers does not allege that he placed his hand inappropriately for the photo itself. She has a tattoo of the solar system on her shoulder, and after the photo was taken he stopped her, moved her to look at the tattoo, and used his finger to trace…

While lauded now, when Goodall first started her work with primates she was heavily criticized for what she was doing because she wasn’t a “real scientist.” She had little formal education in anthropology, although she had some informal education and a friendship with Louis Leakey. Her methods were criticized for…

I guess the issue is whether he’s willing to have an investigation, or an “investigation” like our good friend Bart O’Kavanaugh got.

You are responsible for the placement of your own hands. Maybe he should have respected her personal space. 

you come for pluto, you better watch uranus.

Pluto was a rapist. Well, so was Jupiter, who disguised himself as a dark cloud, a bull, an eagle (to kidnap a kid) a woman (to have lesbian sex, but somehow the real woman got pregnant) and a swan. Wheww!

My policy is to believe the women in these cases, but I will admit, this sounds like it could be a case where everyone is telling the truth and the perspectives just vary. (Leaving out the assault case, which I’d need to know more about.) Whether he’a guilty or not, welcoming investigation should absolutely be the…

Given the source of the initial reporting and the nature of the reported allegations (which come across as, at worst, awkward interactions) I’m gonna say it warrants healthy skepticism. Especially since he’s welcoming the investigation.

Oh God please don’t let this be true.  I have so few heroes as it is.

I told you Pluto would get its revenge!
