It’s because Judge Steven O’Neill’s wife Dr. Deborah O’Neill works with rape survivors as a psychotherapist. She’s a woman with power and credentials who is a part of the solution and is therefore to be vilified. Cosby’s team has been attacking her since the beginning as evidence that Judge O’Neill can’t be impartial…

I imagine many of those white children felt a deep sense of shame in their later years. I also imagine that many of those children grew up to join the John Birch society, settled in sundown towns, and voted for Donald Trump in 2016.

I just don’t get the level of petty evilness that would cause a bunch of people to say, “I am going to get up this morning to terrify and harass a school child”.

Of course I remember James Carville. His relationship to wife Mary Matalin was always inspiring. They are on opposite sides of the political spectrum and will even do point-counterpoint on the same news segment, but once the cameras are off they stop talking about politics and remain committed to each other.

Oppenheimer was quoting the Bhagavad Gita, but it was in reaction to seeing the atomic bomb.

Declined to investigate Ford or declined to investigate Hill? The use of pronouns is confusing. If it’s Ford, I can’t find any statements from the FBI stating they decline to investigate - they can do so at DOJ direction, but the DOJ hasn’t done so. If it’s Hill, they did investigate and it took them 3 days. They…

Well, she is a Republican. They only see themselves as victims when they want something. And when they get their something they tell other, more entitled victims that they got theirs, so fuck them.

Cosby’s going to jail? I’m sure he’ll be Obeekaybee.

Better to die incarcerated than to die free and unpunished, but heck, they’ll probably release him early due to medical or something at some point anyway.

She hasn’t even testified yet (and I’m sure if we’d let the FBI investigate like they did for Anita Hill we’d get more information). But if you want a better example, there’s always Roy Moore. He only barely lost his senate race.

“Winning” like that only polarises things even more. We should always be able to call an asshole an asshole regardless of whose side they’re on.

This story isn’t mine, but it’s my old roommate’s. His dad lied to enlist and go off to Vietnam at age 16 in the mid-60's before the conflict really blew up (got away from home, wanted to not be a grunt, so got an early start on career). He came home after a tour and bought a 1965 Corvette Stingray Convertible. It had…

There will always be people who must define themselves by what they are against rather than what they are for. It’s why the anti-choice crowd will shout so loudly about banning abortion but flake out when it comes to better sex ed, easy access to affordable women’s health screenings, insurance-covered contraception,…

I don’t disagree. I however lament if this is what it takes, much like Oppenheimer witnessing what the Manhattan Project birthed and remarking “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.”

What have we wrought that we must unleash an Avenatti upon the world? They go low we match without shame as long as we get on prime time? I hope this kraken can be vanquished back into the obscure reality TV depths once he becomes no longer a relevant weapon to be wielded. He may be doing good now, but woe if the…

He’s like if Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman were given a limelight and some perception of actual power. While he may be wielding a weapon on the right side of history, but he’s more anti-hero than anything - not the hero we deserve, just the scumbag that’s fighting for us right now.

I had been with a software company for 8.5 years. I was let go along with 30 others in the same day. We were quietly called into meetings one at a time and not told to bring anything (even our work laptops or tablets). We were told we would not be allowed back at our desks to collect our things and that someone would…

I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!

I remember seeing a video on YouTube that was a tour of FDR’s presidential train. That was interesting, too.
