Exactly my thoughts. If they truly cared for her welfare they would have put on a brave face and smiled and told her that she’s going to live in a super cool place with fun people and that they will try to visit her as often as possible. Instead they chose to completely traumatize her with a media circus and…

No, they haven’t. She’s been with them four years, and they were told at the outset (and repeatedly thereafter) that she was not adoptable and that family reunification was the goal of her case. As responsible fosters they should have put her interests before their own by trying to facilitate that reunification in a…
I’m sure that’s it. Absolutely sure.
WARREN 2024!!
Indentured servitude was often really, really brutal and terrible. I spent a while studying the practice in colonial New England, where it was pretty common for young girls to be sold into it as house maids, where they would be beaten and raped until they managed to get out of it, which could take years and years.…
it’s only lead poisoning if you believe in it...
What a creative way to save taxpayer money! Other things that are not real and therefore do not require time and/or effort:
Yep. The majority of the retractions aren’t “I was raped, jk just said that for fun!”... they might be more like, “I was raped, now I’m ostracized in this small town, my parents think I’m sullied and dirty, and I’m getting harassed by people who think it’s impossible that the rapist could do such a thing.”
came here to say just that... if someone is scared... and wants to stop... and the other person doesn’t stop... that’s rape. It’s even RAPE rape.
The sad thing is, his claim of rape accusations turning out to be “consensual sex” might actually be women who initially filed reports only to redact them out of fear (maybe of, I dunno, NOT BEING BELIEVED.)
“ Things just went too far and someone got scared”
Agreed. Cruz is more dangerous than Trump in my opinion. It’s both that Cruz believes what he says, but also that he believes God is behind his entire life. He believes God made him a politician. I can’t even imagine that kind of arrogance, but there it is.
Ted Cruz is awful. Friends and I went to one of his town halls, and we were horrified by what passes for his policies (mainly, abolishing the IRS and submitting tax returns on a postcard — we were wondering to whom we would mail the postcard) and by his absolutely horrid use of a little boy, who was urged onto the…
Some Trump fan shouted out with something like, “You lost! Trump for president!”
I’m so sorry Maurice. Your life mattered young man.
Something like this just happened to a friend’s mom last night - she saw a cyclist laying in the road, he’d been hit by a car (hit & run), his legs were shattered, and he told her that he’d been lying there for quite some time while cars just drove by. She called an ambulance for him and waited with him.
if she were a Real American™ she would dress the wound by her bootstraps
Hopefully her wound will be covered with Liberal Tears brand gauze.
