Whatever operative cooked up this Tara Reade scheme has already achieved their goal.  It’s clear that the goal was to give Bernie supporters a reason to hold back support from Biden. The left will always be it’s own worst enemy.

Funny I was out with friends from college and we were discussing the issue when someone pointed out that all but one of us had met our spouses through work. It’s no different than work friends becoming friends outside of the workplace. This law will do nothing, but problem force legitimate couples to decide that the…

No obligation under the law to retreat. Clearly that was valid self defense. But the league has a different standard for players, wouldn’t be surprised to see him fined for making contact and the Nuggets sanctioned for failing to provide proper security.

He’s clearly part of the Vogelcheck clan

Didn’t he apologize to them privately already? This has nothing to do with wanting an apology, they just wanted to get on TV

Lol, Guess now he’s getting dragged for exploring concepts of sexuality? So easy to pile on when people put themselves out there. Yes, he said dumb uninformed things, but why penalize someone for exploring. This has nothing to do with the LA Times hit piece, none of this was done in attempt to divert from his…

Completely agree with the sentence, but I don’t buy for a second that this Judge wasn’t milking her moment in the spotlight for all its worth. Guarantee that she practiced that response. Personally believe Judges should remain dispassionate. The horrific stories of his victims were sufficient.

People in general are horrible at picking up non-verbal cues. I’m a lawyer and one of the key things I was taught was to make sure you pay attention to how the jurors are responding to your argument. But you will see both male and female attorneys oblivious to clear signs of disapproval from jurors (or judges). Go…

Why is that repugnant? They generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Why should they take a pay cut while the corporations they work for reap the benefits?

Wow, why is this a story? Why do women care so much about what men say on the issue? Why is so important to have people parrot the right thing? Why are women fighting amongst each other (times up vs rose army vs Lena Dunham vs POC vs. etc). At this stage shouldn’t it be about more than the right hashtag or…

Roy Moore is a horrible human being and definitely a sex offender, but I hate how lazily people use the word pedophile. Pedophilia is a sexual interest in pre-pubescent children. Roy Moore is not that kind of monster.

Is Ilana on Broad City sexually harassing Abbi?

Of course they shouldn’t have said, but the uproar is just as silly. Who cares that these models made the mistake of singing along with a pop song and not cutting out an inappropriate word. This isn’t bill maher. Save the outrage for the really issues of racism facing PoC.

Agreed, there is no evidence to support that claim. There have been a lot of doctors who have assaulted patients, and you wouldn’t say that the medical profession attracts sexual predators.

You mean why did she date an insanely intelligent, talented director, rather than an actor who has to focus on diet and exercise to fill out a spandex superhero costume? Maybe she wasn’t as shallow as Jezebel commentators

It’s sad but true, I frequent clubs in LA, if a club has a high % of African American dancers patrons will avoid. Pervy men (like me) aren’t worried about social justice. Club owners only care about making money, that’s the truth. If obese women made them more money, they’d have 75% of them on their roster.

Divorced about a year ago, sad since they had a kid together.

Give me a break. There is no drug rehabilitation program on the planet that would say it’s a good idea for a recovering addict to binge drink alcohol to the point that you are passing out.

That’s not what empathy is, empathy is understanding someone’s emotion. Concluding that she was raped and that the accused is a rapist without knowing all the facts is what reactionaries do. Isn’t this what is so appalling about our President?

Just a word of caution, unless you know much more than what’s been reported I think it’s extremely dangerous to say “I believe her” without knowing more. If it turns out that this is a false accusation, you lose all credibility. Why can’t you express support without a blanket statement that you believe her?
