I attended college in Virginia in the 1990s with white people. This does not phase me as it is par for the course for “Virginia gentlemen.” Virginia Republicans are going to try to make hay out of this, but please understand that this is the party that 1) nominated a white supremacist for governor *last year*, 2)…

John McCain’s worst mistake: putting this ignoramus on the political stage for national recognition from which the country is still suffering. So was Palin a precursor to our mega-ignorant prez? Oh yeah.

A parent cannot give permission for someone to sexually abuse a minor child. Sheesh.

I disagree. The real tragedy are his victims. Another way of looking at Michael Jackson is he crafted a persona that appealed to children. Mild- mannered. Child-like. His home was built to entice children. All to create the perfect environment for a predator. People act like Michael Jackson was some sort of naive waif…

Please stop defending him in any way shape or form. There are no mitigating circumstances with child molestation. He was a scumbag predator whose deeds rest solely on his own shoulders. Of course he had help-but no one was forcing him to destroy these boys’ lives.

I’m not saying there’s no point there, but when exactly have the rapes and murders of girl children or women led to what you describe? Women are doubted as much and often more than boys and men. Women do not get greater conviction rates or are treated better. There’s even more stigma around boys who are abused, but…

That is so infuriating. I believe the statistics regarding male child sexual abuse is much higher, if not on-par with female child sexual abuse. Pedophiles choose children because they are easy to manipulate and not easily believed. A boy is more likely to keep the abuse a secret as society doesn’t want to see boys/men…

Imagine my shock when I was slaughtered here when I commented that Louis CK was guilty before he admitted his actions. And imagine these boys trying to tell their stories pre-Harvey Weinstein.  It’s still very much a rape-culture. 

We’re gaslit by this one because there are no ‘perfect victims’.  The kids were often pimped out by their own parents to Michael.  Money perverted the truth in bribes and gifts.  The same victims who took hush money in the past are now able to tell their stories with some hope of being believed.  But due to the money…

I’m just surprised it took this long. I was honestly starting to doubt that he’d actually done anything because no one seemed to be coming out with anything about him. I assumed he’d have been one of the first to be taken down after Weinstein.

While I would like to agree with you, this is the man who mocked and bullied a disabled reporter on television and his base cheered him for it.  I doubt him calling Kamala Harris a bitch is going to result in his shunning

I’m just gonna say it like this: if you have multiple rape allegations against you, you’re a rapist.

Also, as much as people bring up Kamala’s history as a prosecutor or “cop” as a negative, I think her experience there would be the very thing that would destroy him in a debate (if it even gets that far).

The air traffic controllers and their union went on strike during Reagan’s presidency. Like 95% of them were fired and banned from ever working for the government again, the union was decertified by the government, and I believe a few of them even went to jail. 

Government employees are certain to get back pay as quickly as possible.  Employees of contractors won't get Jack.

So for future reference when the dipshits in charge decide they want to have a pissing match using real peoples’ foreheads as their targets, air traffic controllers just need to step out on day one along with the IRS.

“Somewhere, Fancy Pelosi is being fitted for her new shades so she can stunt on these GOPers when she goes to give her speech about how she Debo’d the president and punk’d him into opening the government.”

I’m not really keeping score but Nancy gotta have more points than that! That flaming ochre coat she wore when she and Chuck got 45 to own the shutdown gotta count for at least 3 💁🏻‍♂️

“She hit that man with the “per my last email,” which is office-speak for “Bitch, I already said…””
