I have a cousin who was impregnated at 13 by an 18 year-old boyfriend. The families (Catholic) encouraged her to keep the baby and to continue seeing the father (who—surprise!—turned out to be abusive) because it was “important to the baby to have two parents.” No exaggeration to say that it ruined her life, her…

They don’t have a problem with the open pedophiles.

A bit of an aside but this week Rhode Island passed the law to make the legal age to marry 18 with no exceptions based largely on the hard work of a group called unchained at last. The Governor must sign it still but it will become the 5th state, only the 5th, to ban child marriage. 

the whole pedophile ring has ALWAYS been about projection. so was the fucking hunter biden laptop. they see the shit coming their way and then just accuse the democrats of EXACTLY what people accuse them of. it undermines truth and it makes the whole public disoriented so they have no idea what to believe.

It’s either drugs or he’s gay

And the shit he says about his son…that poor guy. They’re estranged bc he doesn’t agree with his life choices or something to the effect?! Good god. I mean I guess having sex with a 13 year old would be worse than what this asshole, running for Liz Cheney’s seat, has done but I suspect it’s nothing as clearly…

At least in the play Romeo offed himself instead of running for Senate.

And that dude lost by very little. The fact is, Republicans don’t really give a shit about stuff like statutory rape as long as the candidate is against abortion and pro Trump. Democrats and other political operatives need to understand that and develop alternative strategies, because the fact is Republicans don’t…

They elected a dude that talked creepily about his daughters t*ts and was besties with a known pedophilic pimp ... but yep, the Dems are the immoral ones. 

So this guy raped a minor and is being supported by the group that thinks the democratic party is run by secret pedophiles that must be stopped?

When I was 13, I had a 17 year old guy pursuing me. It never went beyond 2nd base, but the pressure to fuck was there constantly.

Happy Monday, Ashley...

If I knew which holiday inn bathroom they were in I’d seal the door shut and then brick it up so we didn’t have to deal with these two fucking idiots.

Please someone post a video of Gaetz and Greene sharing a crack pipe in a Holiday Inn bathroom somewhere out in the boonies.

So she called AOC “crazy eyes?” Has she looked in a mirror lately? She looks like she skinned her victim and wears their face as a mask.

Marge Greene: Unequivocal evidence that no matter how ugly a person may be on the outside, they can always be even uglier on the inside.

Since we’re in agreement on my wit at least, I don’t totally disagree with you otherwise. I think it’s important to differentiate between types of bullying though. Like, if the bully who always reminded me I was “weird” became a teacher? Whatever, wouldn’t care. If the bully who tried to beat me to death in the…

As the parent of an autistic child, I have learned ( the hard way ) that there are two types of people who work with special children, angels in disguise as humans, and sadistic bullies. Not a lot of in-betweeners in that realm.

I think Brandy gave good advice. I like the idea of focusing on the future. There are lots of kids today who could use support. Become a big brother/big sister. Fund raise for an organization that supports neurodivergent students. As disappointing as it is, there will always be kids with their own kind of oblivious…

I agree. Speaking up is often dismissed because it can’t affect what we want to change—the original bad treatment. After all, who’s going to care about what happened X years ago? Nobody cared then and they got away with everything. So why try? Bothering to say something comes across as foolish, if not outright…
