They shouldn’t discuss sentencing since it’s not their purview but I wouldn’t be surprised if the possible sentence and sympathy for Cosby is what these holdouts are grasping at. Like this argument that he doesn’t “deserve” to go to jail because he’s a frail old man and besides these crimes were committed so long ago!…

When I served on a jury, on a case where the prosecution had proven very little, we had a holdout- this basic Becky who kept talking about “abiding” by the law. She “abides” by the law, so ergo anyone who is in court must be guilty of “not abiding” by the law. This one trick pony and her faux steely gaze prolonged an…

This is disappointing. Somehow I thought Roseanne was a “libtard” like myself. Didn’t she run for office as a liberal candidate? Anyway, bummer. I loved that show growing up. Even though I am from a middle-class Indian-American family I truly identified with the Connors (especially angsty middle child Darlene).

Ah thanks. Need to get to the reread.

Gosh, white dudes sure are butt hurt these days! You snowflakes should find a safe space.

Wait- isn’t there an epilogue at the end of the book where basically some academics in the future are talking about what happened to Offred? That her memoirs are available because she was smuggled to safety?

Ugh, this. And the people who should be reading this- men and people who think “false rape accusations” are more common than actual rape - are not because it isn’t being reported on sites that don’t have a “feminist” bent.

I think it was Sen. Riche? who just today said that an order is different from a hope!

OMG and what about people who write money like “I just got 200$” Kids man. They’re dumber than when I was one.

Your parents are younger than 54?! Get off these internets, whippersnapper.

I’m glad he said this. As a brown person this coverage never sat right with me but wow when I expressed this I got shit on big time. I appreciate that he is attempting to reframe the issue as one of racism and victimhood as opposed to white men doing the right thing (which they did! and they deserve kudos for it).

Haha dark-skinned women are not considered attractive or desirable anywhere, let alone the US.

“I think Islam hates us.”

Middlemarch! RUFUS SEWELL

Could you be any more ignorant and a dick?

Pedro Almodovar you sound like a man with a real tiny TV.

Well. This guy sure has an active media presence! He sounds great: a Trump supporter who thinks that white people are victims of racism and that liberals are “grievance” instigators.

:( I wondered that too.

Do you disagree that policing a woman’s menses is barbaric, archaic and cruel? Then whatever “religion” you practice is very backward and deserves criticism.

And those that govern menstruation? Archaic, barbaric and cruel.
