I wish we stigmatized rape and abuse from a young age the way we do drugs. Can we get a D.A.R.E program for assault FFS?

What a coincidence! It just so happens that there’s virtually always something objectionable about the voices of women who speak up in public. I’m sure it has nothing to do with internalized sexism. Just like how women are criticized for every vocal trait imaginable—saying “like” too much, upspeak, vocal fry—while men…

Because the entire system is built on obtaining convictions. Collateral damage is not their problem.

Attorneys have the right to cross examine any witness testifying. That’s why you can’t just introduce depositions, affidavits, and the like.

WITH OTTERS. LOTS AND LOTS OF OTTERS. LIKE THE BABY OTTER WAGGING HER TAIL WHILE BEING BOTTLE-FED.

Agreed. In the interim, enjoy this picture of my cute dog? She loves you, I promise!

I wonder if he married his third wife in a church? Or his second. You know, the one he left his first wife for.

“I hear this is a major theme here, but Two [sic] Corinthians, right, Two [sic] Corinthians 3:17, that’s the whole ball game. ‘Where the spirit of the Lord,’ right, ‘where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.’ And here there is liberty too, but Liberty University. It is so true.”

Trump on Christianity:
