Um....yes? Lots of people thought he needed help because of his substance abuse problems?

This argument is always disingenuous bullshit. If I hand you a tool, and say, “this tool can make millions of people’s lives better, and you’re the only one who can use it,” and you decide that that’s not what you signed up for and just walk away from it, that isn’t a defensible position, much less one deserving…

michelle obama sure seemed to think the position had responsibilities, and i, for one, thank her for her herculean efforts.

Bradley Whitford is one of the good ones. In fact, he’d have voted for Obama for a third time if possible.

Because the people that support him do not believe:

Yeah, no. We’re not gonna judge victims and put the burden on women to end serial abuses perpetrated by men. You know who shoulda stepped up? All the 🖕🏻🖕🏻s who knew what was going on (from DAs to private lawyers to co-execs and business associates) and had the power to stop it but failed to do a damn thing…

Many women did. Women went to the cops. Cops set up stinh operations only to have DA still not pursue charges.

We’ve discussed this to death over the last several weeks. If you don’t get it by now, you never will.

Respect for the dead is the common measure of a civil and decent society.

...yeah. History - who gives a shit? *eyeroll*

No. There is no case that deserves the death penalty because actions don’t happen in a vacuum. Using the death penalty on that guy will inevitably result in using it on an innocent at some point, especially with how fucked up forensic science is.

I think you bring up a good point, and no, I don’t think it’s inherently wrong to believe the men you love. However, if you’re a public figure like Lena, and you feel the need to release a statement that the victim is lying, even though you have no way of actually knowing what happened, that’s where you cross a line.

If you can read any support for CK Louis in those remarks, you are a more imaginative person than I. He never supported him: he was not aware of the rumours until last year, and then it didn’t appear to comport with the person he thought he knew. Once confirmed, he felt terrible and is trying to come to terms with it.

That’s the medical definition, not the vernacular definition of “narcotics” which is broader.

No, Parks and Rec is a superior show from the same creators (well, the American version of the Office).

Here comes the liberal circular firing squad.

What the hell is the matter with you that you’re trying to scrounge up some kind of loophole for this guy so that he scores a little higher on the Complete Shit of a Human Being scale?

I honestly don’t see why it matters, but ok.

He publicly said a closeted person was gay. Yes, he outed her.

It sucks that Anna Paquin even has to justify why she didn’t talk about the incident sooner. Not only was it not her story to tell (especially given the fact that it involved Ellen Page’s sexuality and she only recently came out) but also IT SHOULD NOT BE A WOMAN’S JOB TO POLICE THE VILE BEHAVIOR OF MEN IN THEIR…
