You seem to be suggesting that you think the only thing keeping Stein from truly competing in this race is money or voter awareness, rather than her utter lack of governing/legislative experience or actionable policies. Which is a curious takeaway (and my original point)

There’s also the fact that Donald Trump may have raped his first wife and I find her story at least as credible as Broaddricks.

Yes, one reason it’s important to discuss these allegations is that Bill Clinton will probably be in the White House next year. So, we need to openly discuss the danger he could possibly present to the women around him. People need to be safe and they need to know they will be believed if they are victimized.

One assumes when Hillary Clinton says that sexual assault victims have a right to be believed, she means by the authorities etc. when they report. Because a lot of women have a hellish time with the police and whatnot placing the burden of proof on sexual assault victims and re-victimizing them. And I also agree with…

I can speak a little to this, as a DV survivor. My ex and I had many mutual friends. After the incident happened, a lot of those mutual friends sided with him, for dubious reasons. Over time, I actually came to hate them more than I hated him. Oh, trust me, I hated him too. But them... It’s hard to explain, but I…

I believe that Bill Clinton raped her. I don’t believe that he went home, told his wife since he’s running for governor they should probably deal with all the women he’s raped and suggest Hillary intimate them. Much more plausible is Hillary was told it was a consensual relationship and if this exchange took place, it…

My guess is that at this time, no one cares about Broaddrick’s feelings towards Bill.

I agree with everything you say. I don’t really know what else to say. The piece by Katie is really well done and very even-handed. The whole thing really is troubling. But so is the obvious appropriation of Broaddrick’s story by right-wing conservatives who ordinarily go out of their way to discredit rape survivors.

All I know is I will NOT be voting for Bill Clinton this November.

I have no idea if Broaddrick’s allegations are true or not, but her story is credible enough, and should be treated with sensitivity and seriousness.

DUDE. ONLY $16 MILLION. SHE NEEDS ONE BAJILLION DOLLARS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS THE WORST THING I’VE EVER HEARD.

And with that, I’m out for the day. Have a good internet everyone!

My (inner) response to when my dad says, “If we can get Trump in the whitehouse,”:

This is such bullshit. I pointed this out to someone who is a “supporter”. Their response would have been funny had it not been chilling. She said “Well, in my day a woman knew her place. You don’t speak out against those who are wealthier because they are more powerful. This little girl (ACK!!!!) should be covering…

If Trump becomes president, do you think the Secret Service’s job will be to protect the rest of us from him?

Most self-called beauty experts don’t have the first idea what to do with curly hair, let alone black women’s hair.

GOD DAMMIT THAT’S BECAUSE AUTISM PRESENTS AROUND THE SAME TIME AS VACCINES ARE RECOMMENDED WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?

I would wager that MOST of the people complaining about TPP have no idea what it is.
