Only being able to recite boilerplate would make them fit right in in DC.

I assume that virtually everyone who isn’t a lawyer who uses a legal term vaguely doesn’t know what the term means.

“Sexual assault” has a meaning. Strictly speaking, it has at least 51 definitions in the US, depending on what state you’re in.

For fuck’s sake.

Trump’s base loves sheriff Clarke. They have no problem with cowboy hat wearing clowns per se.

It is not uncommon for AVC, and even regular news sites, to post brief articles when a late night show has a particularly interesting segment.

I’m sure there’s no shortage of macho commentators in Italy criticizing Argento.

The later seasons of show constitute a tremendous bait and switch: a show that was sold to its viewers based on the witty repartee of single mom raising her daughter turns into a full scale celebration of how much better the rich are than us. In a just world, everyone in the life and death brigade would have lost…

So if victims don’t want their abuse to be public record, they have no remedy at all?

I’m tired of complicitly looking the other way. This has gone on far too long. I have to speak out. You don’t need a paragraph break between every sentence.

It also matters whether the NDA is with Harvey or with the Weinstein Company. The company has much stronger incentives now not to try to enforce the NDA against a rape victim, as they would like to keep doing business.
