The REASON to note terms is that while 99% of society at all levels will CONDEMN sexual abuse of children UNDER the age of 12, at puberty (age 112 and up) some men actually begin to DEBATE at “what age are girls fair game for men to try to have sex with them?” Yes, I’ve heard this! Some say”16 or 17 is close enough”;…

I WISH I’d had a mother as protective as YOU. From the time I developed breasts at age 10, followed by period at age 11), my mother regularly treated me like a “whore”. When she divorced my step-father when I was 12 (who had molested me for 3 years) , a long trail of her boyfriends traipsed through our lives—many of…

A tragedy compounded by injustice. The MURDERER of Sadie Roberts-Joseph was ALREADY s despicable criminal who RAPED A 8-YEAR-OLD GIRL and ONLY got 7 YERAS for it. Yeah, I know the young victim didn’t report until 2 years later—but, it seems that they could have threatened him with a LIFE sentence & gotten more years…

First, Jeffrey Epstein. now, R. Kelly: how many fellow SEXUAL PREDATORS does Trump have connections to? Birds of a feather...

What CAN happen is an Impeachment INQUIRY—if the Democrats get off their ass & start ENFORCIN G subpeoonas. I wish they’d come into their majority in the House in Jan. beginning to think STRATEGICALLY. When Attorney General Wil;liam Barr DISTORTED Robert Mueller’s report at end of March, the Democrats sure should have…

We can only hope for the outcome you suggest& that the perpetrator(s) are NOT caught. I OPPOSE the death penalty when administered by the State (for all the usual reasons of the injustices of that punishment)—-but, after a fair trial & verdict of guilty by a jury of his peers, this monster should be  put down.

Hell, YES. She MUST be given the HIGHEST charges possible & if convicted, given the LONGEST sentence possible & NOT PAROLED no matter what (allegedly) “good behavior” she has in prison. What this person goes far far beyond everyday fraud. As you observed so pointedly, she has COMMITTED A CRIME AGAINST THE PUBLIC &…

WELL SAID: “Built in incompetence”—MUST be rooted OUT.

But “the rest of the crowd” CHEERED after the “Shoot ‘em” comment. I’m sure some people didn’t like it—but, it sure looks like a lot of them did. Trump Cult Rallies remind me of a mix of George Orwell’s “2 Minute Hate” in his novel “1984" and LYNCH MOBS

All the focus has been on Trump’s reaction to the “unidentified member of the crowd” who said “Shoot ‘em!” But, the LEAD UP to that comment is just as bad & is one of several ways, Trump ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE against targeted/scapegoated groups! Notice how he REPEATS use of weapons against immigrants “covering” himself…

Are you asserting that these are “FALSE charges” against the Sheriff & the others who participated in this assault on an innocent man? OR that the Black sheriff should NOT have been charged—-even if the charges are true— on the theory that :”if WHITE cops can get away with VIOLATING people’s rights, BLACK cops should…

Well said! Though as a journalist I interviewed an African-American cop who was trusteed by the community. He said he became a cop to intervene with youth “gong down the wrong path”. Of course, as the old saying goes “he’s the EXECPTION that PROVES the rule.”

CAR ACCIDENTS are #1 cause of death for police while on duty. It’s actually pretty RARE 9all things considered) for a cop to be shot on the job.

TRUTH!!! 

It appears that artist JOEY BATTS who FIXED THE DAMAGE is white. Like Black people, some white people do good, some white people do bad.

Former Rep. Ellison was my Congress-member (now replaced by Rep Ilhan Omar). The only upside (besides Rep. Omar) is that Ellison is now Minnesota’s STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL...MAYBE we FINALLY get some actual police accountability

You’re spewing Trump’s nonsensical Propaganda---aka: LIES. Do it somewhere else.

THANK YOU for thinking with COMPLEXITY & NUANCE!!! I thinik it makes far more sense to ask “What are the CONDITIONS that led to Trump winning?” (Meaning the conditions in the country which had been produced in an often BIPARTISAN way—DE-industrialization, Big banks screwing people, as well as the usual racist scapegoat…

Most of times I’ve seen Bernie TRY to speak to racial justice issues, have been face-plant moments. I supported Bernie for 2016 (I’m a woman—not a so-called “BernieBro). Just for the compare & contrast, what about Hillary Clinton was SO appealing to Black voters (Black women in particular)? I just don’t get it! Bill &…

the audio of Trump  bragging that now HIS building was the TALLEST in NYC as the World Trade Ctr. towers were still smoking, should be spread far & wide.
