Worry not, citizens. Jared has been put in charge of dealing with the opiod crisis, so I would basically consider this horrible problem in America solved.

There are plenty of doctors who are fucking morons.

The fact is jurors just don’t like to convict men of rape.

OK, but an accusation is not a conviction. Yes, being actually convicted of a rape you didn’t commit and serving time would be awful (and it has happened, usually to black men). But accusations rarely lead to jail time, even the 96-98% of the time (per the Justice Department) that the accusations are true.

This is the real privilege.

I thought this was going to a sad bad place, and you surprised me.

“The only thing that is worse than that [sexual assault] is the false accusation of sexual assault”

Someone pointed out he’s basically a stereotypical jock - good at a physical activity (his autobiography is literally called “Gifted Hands”), terrible at everything else.

I think the lack of national support is a big deal too. National Democrats both say crap that makes the locals roll their eyes, and then also won’t put any money into it. We’re basically left to make a campaign out of sticks and harsh language. Meanwhile in CA and NY, local Dems get fundraisers with national…

I have faith that the administration did the right thing in revoking these students’ admission. What they did was reckless. And mean spirited.

Bernie Bros and Bernie supporters are two different things. Even Bernie told the Bernie Bros to stop their misogynist bullshit.

The CEO of Twitter actually said that he regrets being young, dumb, and thinking the unfettered exchange of ideas in public space was a good thing.

In other news, 10 waitlisted teens suddenly have their prayers answered.

I went to college in Sioux County ( The same one where Trump bragged about being able to murder people on Fifth Avenue). The only Democrats were/are professors.

It’s why no one has mentioned redistricting, because Iowa is a state with a fair(er) redistricting process than most. But, he’s not really brave for saying that given the area he lives in. It’s not particularly brave to come out for fairer redistricting in an area of the country where it doesn’t matter how they draw…

Meanwhile, America’s alt-right are looking into every connection of Seth Rich to try and pin his murder on the DNC/Clinton (while all evidence still points to a botched robbery) even though every person who has claimed to have “evidence” of this has completely backtracked their stories.

I assumed he supported Trump because he thought Trump would destroy American institutions. Now I guess maybe he supports Trump because they’re both whiny conspiracy theorists.

Oh, just to pile on, Steve King is a national disgrace, and if the voters of his section of Iowa were capable, they should be ashamed not only that they can produce someone like Steve King, but that they continue to send him to Congress.

Just leaving this here: Steve King is the wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorst. Not hyperbole, but the actual damned worst. The worst congressperson in America.

Agreed that nonplussed and bemused are lost forever, but I hold out hope for penultimate. A second to last hope, if you will.
