Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh. Ugh.

I felt glee for a millisecond, but then I remembered how many women have stories of being assaulted and harassed by the men running our country.

Let’s just home they’re all voting on November 28th!

It would be a travesty if they didn't make her tango.

Thank you. Yes, I’ve found a brilliant and heartbreaking article in the times by Emily Bazelon that I plan on making him read. It discusses the pain that exploited children feel throughout the rest of their lives. I’ve also decided that I will write my own letter if he does, asking the court to participate in…

I found a number of victim impact letters of similar crimes and I’m going to make him read every one. I’ve got bullet points prepared to go along with the letters and if he still feels it is necessary then I'm going to write my own letter to the prosecution and prepare for the worst.

People who abuse children, the informed, and disabled are the most disgusting on he planet.

I am in the middle of an argument with my husband about his relative who committed a different but equally heinous crime and he feels compelled to write a character reference letter after getting a plea from his family. I’m like, he is a first offending rich white man in middle America. He’s gonna be fine. Don't put…

I plan on asking him if he had been caught beating his wife or a child, would he write this letter? How is intending to rape girls who have already been subject to incest by their dad less serious than that? I think bc he was caught before he took action there is this idea that he is less guilty. The offender has two…

Yeah, this guy pleaded down his charges too. The originals were devistating and some of the quotes pulled from the sting correspondence have given me diarrhea for three days now. I’m not sure which details my husband has read because the email listed a specific publication but there was a longer more detailed telling…

Thank you. It is no small thing to get so much support and reinforcement. My husband and I are often of the same mind. It isn’t often we argue at all, let alone about things of this magnitude. Its so hard because I’m so surprised he feels this way. It is so unlike him.

I’ve made a list of his most loyal friends, his most practical friends, his most social justice-y friends, and his many friends that have dedicated heir lives to the well being of children and plan to ask if he would be embarrassed or proud of his decision. Would he read it out loud to them? What would they do? What…

I agree absolutely. I am so sorry that happened to you. He told me it isn’t black and white, and while I admit to being more stubborn and morally simplistic than most, I would have thought this would be a pretty universal black and white scenario. It isn't grey just bc it involves a person you know. I'm not wavering,…

The rot is already here and it’s staring in my tummy. I normally stress eat, but I have barely eaten since Thursday night. I’m so stressed, it’s all I can think about. I’ve been talking to mysef just to get it out so I don’t go crazy. My husband is out of town and because of prearranged trips, work, and other…

I think I’m going to save telling him that I will write my own letter to the judge via the prosecution of he writes a letter as a last resort. And I will, detailing my concerns regarding the family’s denial and dishonesty, how it is eerily familiar, how that behavior allowed my sister to be molested multiple times by…

You made me chuckle. That is high marks for this week. I like your mom.

He does believe it’s true luckily, I haven’t seen the actual correspondence but it was a 7 month sting operation. The details were posted on the FBI’s website for christsake! There is no ambiguity here. We live in another state (the rest of the offender’s family as well as my husband’s immediate family all live about…

Yes, all true, I’ve said some of those thing and will repeat them when we are face to face. I have thought about telling him that if writes a letter I will write my own letter and I have no problem sending it his family members as well as the judge and prosecution. That is how strongly I feel. Mutually Assured…

Part of what makes this so difficult is he didn’t molest or have sexual contact yet. I feel like for most, this is a technicality they can use to justify their actions. He possessed child pornography and shared it with an agent (as well as other things that he pleaded out of, his parents paid for the best defense…

That was wonderful and I would like you to come hold my hand when I confront my husband. Can you be in California this Thursday?
