They’ll cave. They will hope the smoke will have cleared by then and it just gives them enough time to come up with some bullshit spin.

There is no way in hell McConnell keeps his word and you know damn well the Democrats don’t have the spine to force another shutdown.

Did you honestly expect the Democrats to hold firm?

Wow! Have your mothers so badly failed so many of you. It’s like - you have no mind or free will of your own.

That story should not have been given so much traction and labeling every guy who tried to make a move too fast on a first date as a “predator” is just....ugh! I mean, hell, let’s just call all men PREDATORS and be done with it.

Oh woopsie! Looks like SEAL is now “part of the problem” too.

Right? This line is so fucking dumb I just can’t...like what is he implying here? That if he had sons he would just have no way to relate to how vulgar and predatory this is?

You were not alone in asking that question. A 14 year old had no business at an “Industry Party” where at minimum, you had to have some sense to know it would be VERY LIKELY someone would offer your minor child alcohol. And after plying a minor with alcohol, I mean...what could happen. Anyway, I’m sure they thought…

Thank you! I so needed “eye bleach” today. Reading MLK quotes has also uplifted me.

Yup....don’t even get me started!

Good on you. PLEASE keep doing that. You are correct, most of those studio chaperones and tutors/teachers are good, decent people. But they hold little power. Better to be a helicopter parent now than a regretful one later.

They ARE!!

Yes. Yes. AND YES! Exactly. Predators like this all have enablers that allow this to continue.

What this story clearly illustrates is that child predators do not operate in a bubble or in the shadows. Far, far, FAR too often they are enabled by the silence of other adults around and it goes on in plain view - ALL. THE. TIME.

About a decade ago I read about one of these groups. They attached a white nationalist meeting inside a restaurant and it was not pretty. My initial gut reaction was negative. “Oh christ, really? Do we need anymore angry, armed, rednecks?” (admit it, you totally thought it!)

Still not supporting this film. Still hopes it tanks at the box office.

Using your own logic (as supplied above) does that mean if I am looking across at YOUR yard and I think you painted your house a shitty color that bothers me, am I then, as a homeowner, entitled to demand you paint your house a color more aesthetically pleasing?

Oh dear lord, the poor creature in that top photo DOES have the lower half of Suckabee’s face.

I have to say, I was extremely disappointed you didn’t take an large black editor sharpie to that 9 page manifesto. There is just SO MUCH there to work with. It’s a damn comedy gold mine!

Yup. Same old. Same old.
