The fact that she disclosed a consistent story about him BEFORE he was nominated for the SCOTUS is overwhelmingly damning to him. GOOD. 

Yeah, the wording in that statement is... puzzling? Why not just say they take these accusations seriously, but the evidence so far has not caused them to reconsider or something to that effect? I mean when someone is accused of attempted rape, who states that makes them support to accused even more?

The ability to open and close curtains quickly is important the precise, mathematical opposite of important.

100% how does a guy who went to an all boys high school have 60+ women who remember him in high school, and that this letter would be provided two days after Feinstein’s letter is revealed. This is a whole pile of WTF.

“...here’s a signed statement from hundreds of kids that Sandusky DIDN’T molest. So on average, he’s a decent guy.”

Just making sure I understand... so Patrick Kennedy is implying that because she doesn’t have a full-time maid, or multiple maids, to open and close the curtains for her, that she has to have some kind of mechanism to open and close the curtains? Because she can’t do it herself?

There’s nothing to tax. It’s almost all share value, not money.

Nope, that’s clearly not enough. The outrage around this thing is near-universal - white, black, conservative, liberal - and Mr. Harriot is still pretending that we’re all out to get black people. Try again.

Because of the “finally” part and because what he donated pales in comparison to what he should have been paying to employees and/or in taxes all this time.

And that’s been widely covered. You can’t throw a stick without hitting a legal analysis on a mainstream media website that say “this looks like murder to me.” And, by the way, the grand jury will have every opportunity to upgrade the charge to murder. It’s a fairly standard prosecutorial tactic to start with a charge…

Sorry, but you’re full of crap. Every mainstream news outlet I’ve read over the past few days has told Mr. Jean’s story: he was a respected professional at a prestigious accounting firm, he was active in his church, he had a beautiful singing voice, he was from St. Lucia, he was beloved by everyone who knew him, and…

Imagine how the country would benefit if him and his company paid a tax rate that is on parity of what we all pay taxes.

I take it to mean if the liquidated all his assets, sold everything he had, he would be worth $163 billion. Some of that money is tied up in property, stock shares, and rich things I’ve probably never heard of.  

If you want to counter the argument that he “earned” the money, you only need to do two things.

I’m not a New Yorker, so my opinion may not count for much here, but I’ll repeat what I’ve said before: there is a disqualifying arrogance in believing that you can/should step into a job - ANY job - at a very high level with zero experience. With very few exceptions (acting comes to mind) I believe in paying your…

I still don’t get why she jumped so high. I know she’s been an activist for gay right and public education in NYC for a long time, but she doesn’t have a background in politics. 

“A good MTA is good for the entire state” is some trickle down bullshit if I’ve ever heard it. 

It is absolutely crazy to me that TV (shows, not the news) has now become something that is dictated by politics. The fact that they want to move more into “Red state programming” is fucking terrifying when you start to think about what that means. What defines red states at this point, apart from the anti-women and…

In the days after 9/11, Muslims, Siekhs, and Arabs around the country were attacked and killed by white Americans. I don’t understand why everyone loves this comic so much, but I’ve seen it shared by a million different people in the past 24 hours.

At least no one died.
