No. How cynical. What happened to make you so bitter?

What? Sure they do. People absolutely can do that. People leave loveless marriages. People come out of the closet. People quit their corporate jobs and go to acupuncture school. Mid-life is often a time of wholesale reasessment of your life.

Give the guy a break. He was 21 years old when he wrote that book, and had been brainwashed into the Evangelical purity dogma his entire young life. More blame goes to the Evangelical community for giving such credence to a book about love and marriage written by a boy.

That’s what I’m saying, I didn’t believe that she would suddenly be concerned about Billy’s wellbeing after the last season.

I don’t think it’s a dichotomy. He can be (and is) wildly racist, and it can also be a distraction.

Unfortunately a certain section of white people get it just fine, and they love it. That’s why he’s doing this. This is his re-election strategy.

Well damn. It will be a long road to 2020, indeed, since Trump has settled on his campaign strategy: open race-baiting to inflame the down-market white voters in the Rust Belt, and have them deliver the Electoral College again.

Yes. He’s been laying the groundwork for this since the 2016 election. He has publicly mused about being “President for Life” on several occasions.  On Twitter again just the other day. This is his plan.

It’s true. The American people gave the House to the Democrats so they would check and contain Trump. Why the fuck should we vote for them again if they won’t do the very thing we voted them in to do?

You are pre-supposing here that Trump will step down quietly if he loses re-election. He will not. He fully intends to remain in office. Mueller just reminded him yesterday that his occupancy of the Oval Office is the only thing keeping him from being indicted. He won’t give it up without a fight. He has been laying…

My question is, why should people vote for a party that won’t act to defend our democracy as it faces it’s worst challenge since the Civil War? What good are these Democrats?

They’d better look after him. I don’t want this bastard to achieve the sweet release of death. I want him to experience every single second of the outrageous circus that will be his trial.

Congress has ethics rules, committees and a process of investigation. This could have been done. It wasn’t even attempted. The Democratic Party threw Franken under the bus for no fucking reason. To make an example to the Republicans, who laughed at their foolish weakness and continue to this day to support the Pussy…

Excellent summation there.

Because Check Schumer told him to resign on the party would throw him to the wolves?

It’s not. Because I do think Franken was railroad and I DO NOT want Biden to get the nom. And the two have zero to do with each other. I don’t want Biden to get the nomination not because I’m a tool of the patriarchy, but because he is exactly the wrong candidate for the times, for many reasons, not only his Uncle…

I don’t see anywhere in this account of the New Yorker article how it is distorted. I read it.  It’s a good piece of reporting-- something that explicitly wasn’t done when Franken was first accused.

Okay, but that was not born out by what was actually on the screen.  From what we’ve seen, Max hates and fears Billy.

LOL like he wrote a book.

Ass cancer.
