The announcement is weird as hell, but I’m not surprised that he rewrote history to claim their divorce was totally amicable. I had a guy dump me after years of a long-term relationship, only to later claim that I dumped him, in what I (for various reasons) truly believe to be pure sincerity. We’re friends now, the…

THIS.

Pressuring someone to drink alcohol is ~never, ever~ funny or okay. There are SO MANY reasons people can’t drink, whether its addiction, religion, pregnancy, health issues, medication, or any other of a vast array of morals or mental/physical health concerns. Whichever of those things it is, it’s absolutely none of…

Ellen has a weird habit of pushing alcohol on people. I saw a Chris Pratt interview where they talked about his weight loss and action hero transformation and then she presented him with a whole tray of Fireball shots. She insisted he have some when he explicitly said he didn’t really drink it anymore, and refused to…

Solitary is torture even if perpetrated by competent management, according to Amnesty Intl and others.

Solitary confinement is a cruel and unusual punishment. When combined with incompetent prison management, it is torture.

Son, don’t you know that black folks have better things to do then even think about your ass? Your ‘enemies’ list should be a mirror. But thank you for saying the quiet part loud and costing yourself a job where you could have gone ages without being known as a racist.

Pray for his enemies?!

It’s hard to tell what exactly is going on in that video but the chances of one of these nazi idiots shooting another nazi idiot through incompetence or sheer blood-lust is even odds.

I would say the majority of people DO NOT RAPE THEIR SON’S FRIENDS because they are dissatisfied with their marital bed. Do not make light of this situation. This former student is describing rape.

Yeah, this sounds less “sexual encounter” and more “period of being the victim of sexual harassment, stalking, and assault.”

Uh, no. I don’t think that’s what is happening here. This story paints Becki as a sexual predator, sexually assaulting and harassing young men. Not as a nympho. Assuming the story is true (I think it is, there are receipts), I’m guessing there will be more young men coming forward. If Jerry was aware of this, and did…

Not even ‘essentially’ but in actual fact. The source article details his bouts of depression, guilt, and extreme fear over the experience; he came to see these encounters as abuse of power.

Unless I’m reading this wrong, he never gave her consent for oral sex. Essentially, he is saying this woman is a sexual predator who orally raped him.

Okay, when I read this letter, my first reaction was: wow, this person is making several bad (unjustified) inferences. The relationship he describes reminds me of one I was in and, similarly, if you ask my ex his side of the story, he too would be taking lots of credit for why my life is the way it is. In reality, I…

As I said over at The Root, is anyone surprised it was a 17 year old? Gunning down protesters is the new school shootings. But instead of being reviled, they get praise. 

What a fucking hellscape this timeline is

If you show up to the protest with a gun you’re there to start conflict, not “resolve” it.

I can’t imagine anything more evil than framing a double homicide with “So, last night, a 17-year-old individual from Antioch, Illinois, was involved in the use of firearms to resolve whatever conflict was in place. The result of it is two people... are dead.”

Glad to see Markey ahead in the polls. This race is Old Guard vs. Progressive with the old man ironically being the progressive.
