At this point the only way he appeals to women voters is by transitioning from a figurative dildo into a literal one.

Maybe we’ll get a few “Mr. Trump, what you are proposing is a war crime.”

Agreed. I think a lot of people are building up these debates to be something that they are NOT going to be. We’re all going to be a little disappointed, I think.

rrriiiiggghhhttt? I can see losing your cool like once a year, but once an hour? That is some toddler level emotional maturity s**t

No he’s not. If he was sorry for anything he would have been specific. Narcissists only apologize when they feel like they’ve lost their adoring fans. Maybe he’ll continue to ‘ask’ for forgiveness, but as soon as he gets one day of good press he’ll be back to slut shaming puppies and toddlers.

If he doesn’t call her a bitch within the first half hour, I want my money back.

How do you focus speeches on policy when you have no coherent policies?

All this apology accomplishes is driving his hardcore supporters away. That’s not that bad.

I hope you’re wrong. We’ll see.

Honestly I think it’s just going to be a lot of moderators asking him not to talk over her. She’ll win but it won’t be terribly exciting.

“savvy businessman”

LOOOOOOOOOOL.

It’s possible that some cops went rogue, and the police want to make sure they track them down and get their cut, as well as punish those cops for unsanctioned freelancing.

Yes, we do. The Brazilian government has always had a heavy hand when dealing with these sorts of things, including the detaining of individuals either unrelated to the incident in question, or wholly innocent of wrongdoing. This is nothing new for them, but Rio now shines a spotlight on it.

Yes.

Their police rob olympic swimmers at gun point, then seize the victim’s passports so they can be held until they recant their stories. Yes, Brazil looks very bad.

Why would the brazilian government even try to pursue this further? Frankly it just makes the country look even worse and petty IMO.

I think there are a lot of people who questioned Pistorius, as well as other para-athletes. Marcus Rehm is a paralympic athlete with the same “Blade leg” prosthetic and his long jump record beats all existing records, paralympic and otherwise - and his ability to complete in the Olympics is definitely contested.

In the running world TONS of people were complaining about OP’s robot legs. How about all the people who don’t follow running outside of the olypmpics and who know nothing of the details of men or women’s 800 just listen to the experts(many who are women) instead of trying to change a sport you know nothin about.

I’ve disliked a lot of what I’ve read about Semenya, and this piece provides a good counter-weight, but Semenya’s circumstance really does trip over a lot of hidden faultlines in how we think about gender and how we think about sports.
