And then we have stories like this, who the fuck would ever want to come forward and risk, ultimately, their life?

Part of this is that the victim doesn’t want to relive the trauma by discussing it again and again. This is a multi-faceted issue. One, if the victim’s pain is reopened too much, that’s not healthy for them and they shouldn’t be forced to do it. Two, however, is that it adds to the difficulty of addressing the issue…

And Scientology next, please.

Man, it almost sounds like the NRA was some kinda scam playing up fears about the sacred 2nd amendment being in danger just to fleece it members and exert pressure on politicians....to keep the scam going. Huh.

Seems like a neat approach. The rules governing non-profits can be really strict, and it doesn’t look like the NRA has been following them.

Disagree.

I need help understanding how temperature checks and symptom checklists identify asymptotic people? Every time I hear about the stupid temperature checks I’m just like that’s fun and useless!!!!

Yeah, I keep seeing national stories about how tight the race is, but locally everyone is just like "Who the fuck is this Melton-Meaux joker?"

stay mad!

Well, Pence knows that coming down with COVID-19 is clearly a choice that people are making because they haven’t let Christ into their hearts. If these 4th graders weren’t sinners, then God would have given them the power to choose not to be infected.

these policies are really wishes rooted in magical thinking—the idea if we get back to “normal” as quickly as possible, the pesky coronavirus problem will be solved.

Yeah, let Mike Pence try and wag his finger at her during a debate for calling Trump a motherfucker.  I think I’d buy a ticket to watch her response.  He wouldn’t know what hit him.  

Apart from the fact that I don’t see the stats you posted as an abysmal record for an upstart political movement, that was 2018. In 2020 we’ve seen candidates like Cori Bush, who lost in 2018, win their primaries and therefore expected to make it to the general in traditionally blue seats. See also Jamaal Bowman,…

Jones’s statement just proves how far removed she is from Tlaib’s constituents. Detroiters have a special love of “motherfucker.” Longtime Detroit mayor Coleman Young once greeted reporters with “Aloha, motherfuckers!” back in the ‘70s.

Those satus quo warriors will never get it.

Suck it, centrists

If we get enough progressives, can we start calling it The Platoon?

Found a Newsweek story from mid-July saying she was ahead 66-29:

Yeah, “I wouldn’t have said as many mean things about Trump” always seemed like a questionable campaign message for a Democratic primary candidate in 2020.

Jones also argued that many of her constituents have been embarrassed by Tlaib’s behavior, including referring to President Donald Trump as a “mother-f——r” in calling for his impeachment on her first night in office.
