This person is acting like a creep. If it was a guy, I think people would be even more creeped out. It is incredibly relevant that they haven’t kissed a guy yet at this age and yet are creating some fantasy where they might be “the other woman” or “home-wrecking”.... They are combining adult concepts with childlike…

hi!

The bit you excerpted is exceptionally cringe-inducing. I’m a little bit older than “late 20's,” but I’m pretty close, and I cannot. fucking. imagine what I would have felt like at 29 to realize that some 24-year old coworker I hung out with sometimes was considering micromanaging my life for fear that if they didn’t,…

Regular Jane replies:

Oh god LW1.... The combination of you having zero relationship experience at 24, along with some exaggerated fantasy of your relationship with this guy, is creating some major non-existent drama in your head. You are friends with this guy and that’s it. On your end, you may be crushing. And he maybe is keeping you on…

No, that is not my argument at all. My argument is we shouldn’t be treating accounts differently solely based on the politics of the accused and the accuser. I did not say Tweeden is immune to all arguments against her. In fact I’ve mentioned before that if there is evidence of her being a liar in the past or…

I am really tired of the “he wasn’t ACTUALLY touching her in the photo” defense.

But wouldn’t Dayton appoint a Dem to fill out the seat? I’m thinking of Wellstone, back in the day, when Dayton was appointed to fill his seat. I don’t want Franken to resign, just yet. But if there are more accusations (as I fear there will be), then he probably will. And I want Dayton to appoint Illhan Omar to take…

What about shoving his tongue in her mouth? Is that okay if you’re a Democrat?

I totally get what you’re saying, but on a purely pragmatic level we aren’t going to get to GOP-levels of unity by descending to GOP-levels of depravity.

Roy Moore has been pressured to step down by even his fellow Republicans. Not all of them, this is true, but there is no guarantee he will win this election.

I mean, the GOP has zero fucking morals at all. They just don’t give a shit about anything other than getting & maintaining power. They think they might lose the special election because their monstrous candidate likes to prey on teenagers so they are trying to “suspend” it. They are vile.

So the mistake is in honoring and sticking to principles even when it hurts?

I think it’s because the timing is impossible for them. They can’t simultaneously vilify liberal Hollywood for sexual assault and stand behind Roy Moore with any credibility.

FiveThirtyEight did a segment in the last week or so where they talked about electing politicians in spite of their truly deplorable behavior. They phrased it as “would you rather vote for someone who maybe assaulted a young girl but will share your values or vote for someone who is a better person but won’t vote for…

I met my husband in church back when we were nine. Years and years of dating others, we finally hooked up. Married at the same church we met in, had both our kids baptised in. Haven’t been back in over 15 years.

I think Doug Jones is a better candidate than Hillary Clinton TBH. He’s really charismatic, his record is stellar, he comes across as a really true fighter for civil rights. It’s comparing apples to oranges, because you don’t go through being first lady, a senator, and then secretary of state without making some…

How does it feel making millions off of unrealistic advice?

I mean, I’ve long since written Tom Sizemore off as scum, but the other villains of this piece are the girl’s parents. They didn’t want to take her off the production or press charges? Of all the revelatory details in all these articles, this one strikes closest to the gross heart of the greed and self-serving power…

Go suck a turd.
