Yeah. I remember being at some women’s luncheon as a summer associate where we were supposed to talk about women’s issues, and when I brought up my concerns about wanting to have a family and a meaningful relationship with my husband and children but to also have professional success in a law firm, this female partner

This is all just another symptom stemming from the disease that there are not enough women in positions of power. You’d think academia should not be so bad. Most people in that field lean left and I’m sure if you asked any professor or dean on their views on gender, they’d decry the wage gap and claim to support

Joke’s on you, the thumb in that picture is actually a giant’s thumb.

They think she is a lying liar because that is the narrative. If irrational hate based on negative narrative is what motivates them, then saying that Bernie plays better with certain conservative moderates or independents is not saying much. Republicans haven’t started smearing Bernie yet, probably because they prefer

You don’t see how irrational that is? If a moderate person who would generally vote for a Republican (which suggests they must be socially or economically conservative) and will not vote for Hillary, would vote for Bernie (who is perceived as even more economically liberal than Hillary), then what is really motivating

At this point it almost feels like not releasing it counts more against her than anything that could possibly be in those speeches. Like, what could possibly be in them? She told some bankers complimentary things for $225k? That’s the big scandal?

She is not saying women think Bernie is a hottie. She is saying that some young women might parrot the views of men to seem like the “cool girl.” Like, “I’m not into Hillary like those stupid girls, I’m a cool girl!” This “female chauvinist pigs” phenomenon exists (there’s a book on it). I don’t think that every young

These are lies. Calling Hillary a moderate Republican is a lie but people keep repeating it and repeating it and suddenly it sticks and it’s just taken for granted that it’s true. It’s a lie! Her voting record is nearly the same as Bernie’s. She was one of the most liberal Democratic senators during her service. Stop

Serious question: Do you know what a non-profit is? Because it doesn't sound like you know what that term means.

I actually agree with most of what you said, except the last paragraph. France, England, Germany, Sweden, etc. are not the third world. There is no reason whatsoever for us to be subsidizing them. Those countries have some version of government healthcare, so their governments negotiate with the drug companies to pay

I mean, arguably, tough shits. Cosby’s defense attorney at the time should have better advised his client. He could have insisted the agreement be memorialized on paper. He could have recognized that a DA does not have authority to grant immunity without a judge’s approval. He could have considered the sheer insanity

I understand that this guy is easy to hate, but I really think he is a distraction. In the grand scheme of things, Martin Shkreli is just a small symptom of a much bigger disease. We pay more for prescription drugs in the U.S. than anyone in any other modern (and not so modern) country. Martin Shkreli didn’t cause

Maybe? But I don't think I'm wrong. Lawyers can be a notoriously judgmental bunch.

Like, this is obviously a joke, but I don't see how it's funny. Or how this made the news, frankly. Or what a law student is doing making the news for stuff like this. She's going to have to try and get a job in a few years and I don't think this makes her look good, professionally speaking.

It’s not akin to buying tickets to a show. A show is a set event with pre-selected seating that you go to once. This is a pass to go a given number of times to a recurring event that fills up on a first come, first serve basis. Why should those classes ever expire? You’ve paid for them, the company has your money now.

Brendan Dassey already has good attorneys, so why would she be representing him? Lawyers from the Center for Youthful Convictions at Northwestern Law School have been representing Dassey since at least 2012. That center is run by Steven Drizin, who is one of the foremost experts on false confessions in the country.

I was a young child in the 90s, so she wasn’t signaling anything to me. It’s easy to call concern with crime from two decades ago “paranoia” because you have hindsight and proof of failed policies. I’m sure 20 years from now, people will be talking about terrorism paranoia, but it doesn’t mean most of us don’t want a

That’s such a bad attempt at winning an argument by crying racism, I want to barf. Young men can commit horrible crimes, case and point the example I gave you. How that translates into “black children are rapist super predators” I’ll leave to you to work out with your therapist. While Hillary wouldn’t say the same

Remember that woman that was gang raped by some 15 year olds a few weeks back?

In California “Personal Identifying Information” includes, but is not limited to, a digital image of a person. Granted, you might not be able to identify someone by their dick, but a dick pic accompanied by “look what your son has been sending around the internet” seems sufficiently personally identifiable to be.
