It has been said before (and often here on Kinja) but can you imagine the GOP’s thunderous outrage if someone from Hillary’s camp spoke so openly about killing Dicknuts Donald?

Thank you for being persistent. I am tired of people saying stuff like, “Oh, we tried to employ a little bit of socialism in the US and it was imperfect, so a bunch of ignorant cry babies said it failed. I guess that’s that then.” One of the great things about Bernie Sander’s campaign was encouraging people not to…

The Democratic party could have added single payer to their platform with this amendment:

Clinton has publicly stated she is not in favor of pursuing single payer healthcare.

Except this isn’t an assault case, it’s sexual assault, which requires some kind of prurient purpose. I think what he’s saying is that here there’s no evidence dude was trying to get his rocks off, he was just being a huge fucking dick, which doesn’t rise to the level of sexual assault. Can probably still get him for…

Bullshit. The two aren’t the same thing and you know it. You went for the cheap laugh. It’s why you used “Hilldog”.

I didn’t denigrate the victim, you idiot. I made zero comment regarding the victim. I was making a comparison in which the intent of the perpetrator was relevant for the law enforcement in the situation. From the article it’s clear the DA thinks intent is important.

Eh the victim stated she consented to a hug, the guy hugged and licked. They were both in a bar. No one is getting convicted under those circumstances. I'm sorry that the victim had this happen to her and the guy is a scumbag but no one is charging him with sexual assault over this.

Maybe he was really really drunk?

As always. Drunk men can’t be blamed for committing rape or sexual assault, but drunk women are always to blame for getting themselves raped or sexually assaulted.

Oh.. I don’t understand that. From the article it sounded like the DA was questioning the groper’s intent and hence his state of mind was relevant.

Crying! Heartbreaking! Tear!

Correct on that, but as Oliver pointed out, it’s unclear the Trump camp knows what the limits to what they can do are. There are very specific rules for observers, involving how they can interact with either voters or poll workers. And the way Trump talks, the way his supporters conduct themselves, I think it is a…

So because you’re easily intimidated, such language is intimidating? How...circular.

“whose party has a long history of voter suppression”?

Who are we to fault how a rape victim responds to her trauma?

Same here.. Actually if you specifically wanted a woman to run for president that I could trust it would have to be Elizabeth Warren.

“To every survivor of sexual assault...You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed. We’re with you.” —Hillary

I think it’s “all victims should be heard.”

Juanita’s description of Hillary’s behavior read to me like a wife talking to a mistress. I got an I-know-you’re-fucking-my-husband vibe, personally.
