I’m struck my his insistence that he would never harm a child.  I do think he believes he never harmed these boys.  That they loved him, and physically responded to him.  Therefore, it wasn’t wrong.  It was only the small minded who couldn’t see that these were loving relationships.  I do think he believed that.  Its…

Hey dude, when she initially came out and told you that (at the very least) you made her uncomfortable...here’s a WILD IDEA for you!

You honestly think based on her history of both spoken and written words she isn’t anti-Semitic. My fellow liberals who continue to stand by her in the face of obvious hate sound like the “Mussolini had the trains run on time”.  She also married her brother which is just wild. 

Is the a standard you apply universally to anyone who repeatedly uses bigoted and discriminatory language?

Ummm, Bobby Cannavale is still married to Rose Byrne, right...? RIGHT!??!

Smollett makes Wile E. Coyote look like a super genius.

This has been a textbook case for why skepticism is always healthy and how wrongheaded the “believe victims” mantra of modern progressives is. A lot of people didn’t feel his story added up and/or was way too perfect when it first came out but were afraid to express skepticism for fear of being branded racist and/or…

How complicit is the media and social commenters in handing red meat to the maga crowd?

And still in that interview with Robin Roberts, he spoke weepingly of all reasons false reporting is so terrible. So, he knew the damage he was doing.

Israel has done some terrible things in Palestine, and I agree that criticizing that history and those policies isn’t the same as anti-Semitism. But if you think Israel/Palestine is a simple, black-and-white, good-vs-bad guys story, that may not be anti-Semitism but it’s also not the kind of self-questioning…

His biggest fear is that some of the women may not be ready to get married - dude you kept the woman who just had her first kiss in her entire life last week.

Look... I actually owe a lot to HW because he signed the ADA into law, which provided a lot of protections for me and other members of my family who need it. I also think dude was a good grandparent and parent, and clearly loved his wife. He also served his country honorably in World War 2, which itself should be…

Exactly. If it’s so great, and done for “religious” reasons, why doesn’t everyone do it? 

There’s no need to call names even if you disagree with my opinion. If you can’t be brave enough to be polite or civil in a discourse, stop engaging.

Ilhan, I will fight for your right to wear the head scarf while also tell you that your head scarf is a symbol of oppression even if you are wearing out of free will. The reason is there are billions of girls/women who are forced to wear it and have no other choice. You maybe breaking a 181-year old outdated rule but…

Because she should be the one hiding? 

I was also in high school when this stuff was roiling, and also didn’t really care. Because of that, it’s so striking that my recall of the detritus that my brain did pick up re: this incident, was about the same as yours: look at all of these awful women! Such character flaws!

I legit don’t understand the Monica Lewinsky hatred in this day and age. She was 22 years old. Has anyone seen a 22 year old lately or remember some of their own decisions? In addition, her recognition of the pain caused to Hillary and Chelsea is important and not something that she has ever failed to acknowledge.

“I wouldn’t wish her coming of age on even my worst enemies.”

I can’t even imagine the amount of strength Monica Lewinsky must have had to be able to go through the media circus she went through as like a 22 year old and honestly not kill herself. Not trying to make light, but there is no way I would have been strong enough to withstand that kind of emotional whirlwind. Yes, she…
