Does anyone know what these ratings include? Like just NBC or all stations? Just prime time or the entire day? Etc.

Not a chance. I would have totally watched it if there was a chance of mass casualty. I didn’t watch it because a) it wasn’t live, and 2) because I get sick of them turning every olympian into some sort of mother theresa that happens to swim, run, pole vault or ride horses. Just once, I’d like to see them profile a…

The spectre of disaster was an incentive to watch, not a reason to avoid watching.

The potential for people to get killed would only help ratings in the US. The ratings dip is entirely NBC’s fault.

That’s kind of a BS way of holding a woman accountable for a man’s bad behavior.

Yes and no. The legal definition has changed. A wife could not legally be raped by her husband in the 80s in Kentucky where I grew up. The same with pentration with a foreign object in some states.

Come on, dude. He said “a smart understanding of what rape is becoming and what we’re now understanding about it.” He’s making exactly the point you say he should be making. Jesus, why does this conversation always devolve into policing people for not phrasing things in exactly the way people like you approve of?

Yeah, anybody can block anybody on Twitter. If the first I hear of you as a person is you up in my @s yelling at me about something (at the same time that THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO YELLING AT ME IN MY @S) I would feel no compunction blocking you, and fuck anyone who tells me I am obligated to patiently let…

Are you some sort of dumbass?

I agree. If they wanted to write and include the note to her- fine. But posting it publicly is crossing boundaries/ a bit of a violation to me. Not cool.

You’re bad at trolling and you should feel bad

you left out a shitload of context.

lol, that doesn’t really sound like the joke, that sounds like your recollection of what the joke consisted of. I’m not saying whatever the joke was was funny, but most comedy is not about the subject of the joke, but how it’s about it.

Yes, but it’s fairly clear that Broaddrick’s saying HRC was intimidating her in 1978 - implying a decades-long defensive strategy to bolster a potential run at office. That seems kind of far-fetched.

Yup. And everyone seems to be angrier at Hillary for all of this than the man actually accused of rape. Until that stops being the case, I refuse to let the alleged actions of Hillary’s husband impact my opinion of her as a candidate. And she is still by far the best candidate in this election.

I’m skeptical because she seems angrier at Hillary than at the man who allegedly raped her and that shit doesn’t sit well with me. I’m skeptical because she has contradicted herself so many times, and seems to only come out of the woodwork when Hillary is running for something. I’m skeptical because she doesn’t seem…

No, but she does have a lifelong history of public service. It’s interesting to me that the perception is that HRC took on Universal Healthcare because she wanted the power that came with it, and not because she was genuinely interested in using her abilities to actually help people. Personally, I believe she was…

You can’t know what’s going on with them, though. That’s the thing. HIS career suffered no serious setbacks because of the allegations, yet guilt by association is apparently enough to tank the career his wife (who has not, as far as I know, ever been accused of rape)?? They’re not actually the same person. Meanwhile,…

When I was 26, it meant “do you get drunk and then have sex with strangers?”

LOL if you told this story at a party people would probably be like “uhh WTF” I’m gonna go hang out with some other people now.
