Hey, it’s probably the most trustworthy Olympics committee in the world!

That tweet makes me furious. “We made all our board members resign (note: we didn’t fire them) not because it was the right thing to do, but because the USOC forced us to. We’d also like to thank them for their many years of service and acknowledge their effort in covering up serial child molestation.”

About two weeks ago, the Karolyi ranch was dropped by USAG. Martha has been replaced by Nastia Liukin’s father, which may not be much of an upgrade in terms of athlete care.

Because the culture of competitive gymnastics builds up coaches as more important than parents, and coaches look to the doctors to keep their little stars in winning shape. So parents ignore their gut feelings, coaches don’t question the doctors, and no one is looking out for the girls.

Thank goodness we have a ethically committed organization like the US Olympic Committee to watch dog over compromised organizations like the USA Gymnastics Board.................................

Darling Nikki is a song that opens with a line about a woman masturbating with an object not traditionally considered for the task, if that helps you see what Ragged Tiger is getting at...

See, this is what happens when you declare war on the FBI: All kinds of inconvenient leaks start pouring out.

Reckon it was this frame?

And then my husband saved the day.

Exactly! In the usual evangelical Christian manner, all the focus was on the fetus while the living, breathing human being standing right in front of you can just hurry up and DIE already. She’s a filthy sinner, obviously and doesn’t deserve our help. WWJD? Probably slap the crap out of these hypocrites.

I absolutely disagree with you but for the sake of argument, did the cop try to contact the woman’s relatives? Why is HIS family necessarily the best option? Considering there are many families looking for babies to adopt, why did his family get to adopt this one? The story has many many holes. There is a lot that we…

Let me tell you something, if I get onto a plane, and there is a goddamn peacock roaming freely around the cabin, I. AM. OUT. I do NOT like birds, and there is no way that I’m going to be trapped in a metal tube with one for hours on end. Nope. No way. And peacocks can be particularly aggressive assholes, so double no…

I did research on workplace sexual harassment in law school. I’m hardly an expert, but a lot of my research showed that a reason some victims do not come forward is that they do not actually want to ruin their harasser’s life and get him fired. For some victims, they want a more restorative approach (counselling,…

Yes, it would have been better.

How does the fact that he was blind mean he wouldn’t need to serve time? Surely if he was able enough to work as a cook and tie up and rape a 13 yo, they would be able to accommodate his needs in prison as well?

Depending on how he does I’m sure it’ll spark 2020 talk (it already is). And you’re 100% right. And I wish it wasn’t a a white guy who’s going to be paraded as a potential savior. But I’ll never trust my (white) countrymen and women again after 2016 to vote for anyone not white and male, and people are actively…

Birthright citizenship is like a distinguishing part of American culture. I would argue it is what makes America America. In fact, the lack of equal application of this principle is basically where we can pin point the mistreatment of Americans and arguably the worst miscarriages of justice.

What I find interesting about Moses’s assertion that Allen didn’t molest Dylan is that there is no possible way that Moses could know that. He was a teenager and he wasn’t a witness.
