“Do not set his suit on fire. Do not set his suit on fire. Do not set his suit on fire.”

Well, my response to that idea is this: if she broke her arm later doing it, it was an actual stunt, and not just a car ride.

Jamie Lee wrote an article on HuffPo in support of her noting that she confided in her a couple years ago (which suggests she didn’t know before then).

I asked the same question about Anthony Rapp, (who was totally innocent and Spacey should rot) like dude why was a 14 year old running around NYC parties unaccompanied. Like even in the 80s this was okay? Apparently I’m the devil and I was victim-blaming.

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.

I fully expect others to come forward. This shitstain has been around and been given access for a million of years.

That explained nothing.

I personally will be voting for Cardin.

So, you know nothing about policy, you don’t care that she knows nothing about policy, you’re going to promote her bullshit candidacy with a zealot’s fervor and you don’t even live in the state she’s running in?

Yes, there is. Someone with barely any policy knowledge does NOT belong in the Senate. You don’t like Cardin? That’s fine. Find a qualified candidate not a bloody conspiracy monger.

Manning is completely unqualified and flirts with conspiracy theorists regularly.

Because we are grown up people who have voted in elections before. To paraphrase Loudon Wainwright, politicians are people and that’s all they can be. No politician is going to agree with you 100% of the time. It’s best to go 80/20 with say 5 ride or die issues. My ride or die issues are Abortion, The ERA,…

I’m well aware that Ben Cardin has a shitty record when it comes to Israel and the surveillance state. The man also authored bills to increase child support and to provide more assistance to foster children in addition to authoring a bill to expand medicare. He’s well regarded by the NAACP, has an F rating by the NRA,…

My mama always used to say just because you’re paranoid, that doesn’t mean they’re not after you.

Obama was a community organizer in Chicago, went to U Chicago for Law school, and was a tenured professor there for well over a decade. He also started his political career by running for Illinois state senate.

Whether she’s taken seriously as a candidate or not, she and her activist following can do a hell of a smear campaign on the incumbent, by simply inferring that any opposition is based on transphobia.

Not making her run. But she may well be one of Putin’s “useful idiots.” Trying to peel off enough support for Cardin and divide Democrats. She goes straight to running for Senate against one of Putin’s biggest critics?

I’m not sure what your issue is with Babe.net. They aren’t a Russian porn site or anything, they are a website that has been up for a few years with an emphasis on girls and young women. Their readership is in the millions. I mean, what are you claiming is more legit? Jezebel? According to the editor, this is what…

Easy to say, but women have been taught from the cradle to please others, to ‘not make a scene’, ‘not make waves’, be good little girls. They haven’t ‘given their power away,’ it’s been stripped from them since before they could talk.

All the conditioning is hard to overcome. You can’t just say, ‘women should do…

Trolling used to be mostly about baiting people into (funny) overreactions. The doing it for nothing but amusement thing was part of it but that’s also a more general 4chan theme, it has(had? it’s been a while) this whole cynical culture of not giving a fuck about anything and doing whatever. Trolling was a way to…
