Let’s not call them underage prostitutes. In Russia they’re trafficked rape victims.

I doubt they’re prostitutes in the classic sense. More like trafficked sex slaves. Yeah, I’m going there and I totally think he’s capable of it.

He does have a few investigators, although most of them are lawyers too. He’s also using FBI agents in the field.

Sadly, I can easily see a scenario where he gets off.

Yup. There’s a reason why Mueller brought in someone who prosecuted a Bulgarian money laundering scheme throughout Eastern Europe.

Yeah, 7 billion of us.

The way the right wing is advocating for him is the only reason it’s a story at all. They’re using him as cover to kill a lot of other people when in all likelihood, he can’t even be helped. That is sick.

Nobody is saying that and you know it.

We have to conflate the situation with that of refugees because the Republicans put their cynical hypocritical position on the two into the same bill! The GOP did that, we didn’t. Thus, their hypocrisy is part of the story. There is so much going on here but virtually nothing happening now is about Charlie at all. The…

No, they can’t do that. Hypocrisy is a useless charge to throw at a Republican. Their base knows they’re cynical hypocrites and don’t care because they’re cynical hypocrites too. Calling them that just makes Dems sound like they’re whining. Dems need to get out there with real people whose lives were saved by the ACA…

And that’s why the GOP is so successful messaging-wise. They choose pointless cases like this and Schiavo and make big emotional plays to their delusional cult base. Trump is this principle writ large. All personal talk but no action.

But you should only fight if there’s something worth fighting for. What are they fighting for? Their child to suffer and be horribly disable for longer? He’s not going to have a life even if he survives, which is highly unlikely anyway. This is either utterly selfish to the point of delusion or it’s a sick political…

Fuck off. Nobody cares about your stupid ass house.

Exactly. This business model of using private citizens cars or houses to make money is bad business because of poor vetting and their insistence on noncompliance with regulations.

Being ADA compliant is part of offering services to the public. Don’t like it? Don’t share your ride of your house. Get compliant like a real business or you’re shit out of luck.

Exactly. They’re using the principle of “one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic” to their evil advantage.

You should. A public facility needs to be ADA compliant. If your house isn’t ADA compliant, you have no business offering it for use to the public. Period. This is even more true with Uber.

Trump’s election has sent the message that you can let your hate flag fly publicly. These hateful people were always there, whispering their vile shit to each other. They’re empowered to be open about it now.

I don’t envy parents right now. How do you explain this shit to a kid and not have them petrified constantly? Hell, I’m petrified constantly.

The only working class people who matter to the politician and media classes are white.
