She lifted someone’s story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day she was shootin off her mouth,
And now she’s all shocked that it’s all gone south.

Well, as someone of Jewish descent, I always find it surprising when people cosign apartheid — but agreed, that’s what the primaries are for. Should be a wild season, hope we all make it out with our relative sanities intact.

Thanks for that!

They did, or at least they claim they claim they did.

Right, of course, that’s basic journalism.

The answer is quite simple. A journalist cannot ethically publish anything without 2 corroborating independent witnesses. If 1 person says something happened in a hotel room and the only other person in the room who could verify it says it didn’t happen, then the publication cannot print it.

Excuse me if I have this wrong, as I was only half-listening when I heard this on the radio in the car, but I heard something that went (maybe) like this. Fairfax could resign, then Northam gets to appoint a new Lt. Gov (presumably a Dem) then Northam can resign. Then the AG can resign.

Their claim is that they were not able to corroborate her story. Whether or not they followed up and tried to investigate it further is not clear to me.

I think a lot of us who have survived sexual assault or abuse often fear this happening. I have an ex that beat me for an hour and also once raped me. He’s just an engineer for some company right now, but if that guy ever changes his path or somehow is in the public eye, I will come forward with my story. These women…

Can the Democrats really do no better than two white men in blackface and a black man who is being accused of rape by a black woman?

Twitter clips preview images; if you click through to the linked tweet, and then click on the image itself, the whole thing is there.

I was referring to the identical comments you posted on the Fairfax article in Splinter, so that’s my mistake, but the fuck off still stands.

These stories are an attempt by a right-wing media machine to steal the governorship of Virginia.

Jimmy Savile, Jerry Sandusky and Michael Jackson used charity as a way to rise above suspicion while getting access to a vulnerable pool of potential victims, and increase the odds that anyone who could catch them in the act had a reason to look the other way. The facility is fine only as long as Tyler isn’t allowed…

Thank you for finally covering this.

So just keep on down the line until you find someone who wasn’t an asshole or an accused rapist.

She’s a traitor. Fuck her.

Yeah, I came to say the same. Kavanaugh’s confirmation appears to have been far more lucrative for whoever runs against Collins.

“alarmed and disturbed” by those who argued that supporting an accused sexual assaulter was “condoning sexual assault.”

The hypocrisy of the whole “evangelical” crowd makes my skin crawl.
