Yeah, thats nice and all, but how does it help us rebuild for 2018 and 2020? Are we going to continue to castigate and hector everyone for having white privilege, then be like ‘I can’t believe those BASTARDS don’t support us!’?

What aspects, if any, of his Presidency are actually going to survive a GOP controlled White House and Congress? Surely Obamacare, Lily Ledbetter, DREAM and Dodd-Frank are all gone. Is this all the Democrats can hope for? A brief 2 year window every 16 years, where they can pass stuff for the GOP to immediately…
I don’t think you understood my original post at all.
Even so, a Clinton win based on a 48-47% popular vote split wouldn’t really disprove my point, given how unprecedentedly awful Trump is.
That’s exactly what I’m talking about. How can you pathologize and problematize white people, then be surprised when they disregard everything you have to say? Even sympathetic white people are going to be less inclined to listen to you if you’re tweeting ‘smh...white people’ and freaking out over a bob Marley…
If this election, along with the Brexit vote and the 2015 British election, has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t do shit (politically speaking) without the support of middle-of-the-road white people. You can’t advance feminist causes without wining over men and women who aren’t self-identified feminists. You…
The only time I want to see Pierson, Scottie Nell Hughes or Hayley McEnaney on TV is when S. E. Cupp is also there to cut through these bitches’ nonsense with a sneer, scowl or bout of contemptuous laughter.
Militantly anti-immigration? She’s probably to the left of about 60% of the UK electorate on the issue. You have to remember that this isn’t the USA. We’re not talking about a few hispanics crossing the border into a massive country, we’re talking about 300,000 people a year entering a country that already has…
She has used anti-terror laws to deport criminals convicted of completely different crimes. And has attempted to strip CITIZENS of ther British passports - risking leaving them stateless
Actually, MP Steven Timms was stabbed twice by a constituent in 2010. Not fatally, but a constituent literally walked up to him in public and stabbed him.
Or it could be that she’s his local MP.
It’s sad that America is becoming like the UK, in terms of pitiful sentencing and out of touch Judges. Although at least in the US you still execute criminals, so you haven’t been as completely wussified as the UK has.
Ok, well that’s surprising, as in my jurisdiction a minor can’t commit statutory rape. In any case, there has to be some common sense applied. He’s a year older than her (maybe less) and she consented to the act- it’s not the same as a 20 year old having sex with a 15 year old, or a 16 year old forcing himself on…
Who’s the offender? For it to be statutory rape there has to be a party above the age of consent and one below the age of consent.
I think these boys should definitely be punished, but I think prison would be a massively disproportionate response. It says in the article that she consented to whatever sexual contact occurred, so she wasn’t raped. And considering that all parties involved were minors, it wasn’t statutory rape. But there are…
What would justice look like here? As far as I’m aware, nobody aged 18 years old (or more) took part, meaning that all persons involved were minors and statutory rape can only occur if one party is over the age of consent and one under it. Additionally, it says she consented to the act. So the crime here is; a) that…
Because context matters. He’s 16 not 20, and she’s 15 not 12.
$5 million is nothing. It wouldn’t get you a three bedroom apartment in some of the nicer parts of London.
That’s the Arabs for you.
