Trump’s ex wives do not ever criticize him because he has non-disparagement clauses written into their prenups and their divorce agreements. If they say a bad word about him he can sue their asses and take every last dime (something he has proven that he is more than willing to do).

I’m not sure what you are getting at: because I may disagree with them on an unrelated social or legal issue, it’s okay to legislate how they dress? That I shouldn’t want these women to be able to fully participate in society because I think they follow an oppressive interpretation of their faith?

Not true?. The ban applies to any religious symbol that is deemed “ostentatious.” So a large crucifix might be considered in violation but a small pendant representative of any religion is okay.

I agree with you. Although another part of me thinks that, as creepy as he has been, this is the only even nearly credible accusation of sexual assault rather than creepily making passes. Or affairs with willing participants (I recognize the huge difference in age and power with Monica Lewinski but, even in her own…

Maybe, just maybe, she was terrified of him and afraid to file for the protective order because he had threatened her. And really, would it have mad any difference. It would not have stopped him from buying that gun the next day or from using it to shoot her and their children.

Looks like Ellie has better things to do, so I will answer you:

How about Hillary knew nothing at all other than that this woman was a campaign volunteer? Even if what Juanita Broderick says is true why would Bill have told Hillary anything at all? Broderick did not make any accusations until years later. All Hillary did was shake her hand and thank her for her help with the…

Tragically there were. The Secret Service had to deal with more legitimate threats against President Obama than any other President. It was the racist wackadoodles who couldn’t stand the sight of a black man in the White House and genuinely believed (I know it’s crazy but remember ... Racist) that he was not a US…

Judge Amber Wolf for the Supreme Court

I'm still just guessing here, obviously, but as a party she has the right to sit in on the depos. Maybe she did? Who knows?

Here is my personal irony: there are no creatures on this planet (I am including humans here) that I love more than I do marine animals. Especially orcas, but I adore dolphins and porpoises, too. For this reason I hate and despise Sea World and all of its ilk. I cried all the way through Blackfish. These magnificent,…

I’ve really got no thoughts. This doesn’t make sense at all. Settlement negotiations (unless it’s a mediation) don’t go on for nine hours all at one sitting. Is it possible there were other depos set that day that did go forward? That would explain the presence of a court reporter. If they were just going to negotiate…

Yeah, another lawyer here and this made no sense. First off, a deposition is discovery, not a hearing or a proceeding. It was not her opportunity to testify against him. It was his attorneys’ opportunity to ask her lots of embarrassing questions to determine how good a case she has. If the only thing scheduled was her…

I love Vancouver. Could very happily live in Vancouver. They gave me Ottawa.

But they are not releasing an audible version. I'm bummed. I would rather listen to a script than read it.

At the Trump Organization it is clear that the worst harasser is the guy at the top. He has absolutely no filter, views women as a sack of interchangeable body parts and has the overinflated ego to believe that every woman wants him. Unless she doesn’t, and then she’s a fat bitch.

You know nothing about me. You are very very wrong about whether I have experienced the need to forgive something awful done to my family. And NOTHING that I have written implied than anyone was a “shitty Christian.” I am in no position to judge the depth of anyone’s faith. And I was very clear that I do not believe…

We are already not supposed to be executing people who are not definitely guilty. That’s the whole “reasonable doubt” thing.

Death can absolutely be found to be cruel and unusual. The Supreme Court has found it to be so already in cases involving minors and the mentally impaired. Apparently we also can not find a way to actually kill someone that is not cruel and unusual. We switched to lethal injection because that was supposed to be…

Gotta say that I don’t agree with you there. I don’t think that anyone is required to forgive someone who did something so awful. But forgiveness may be the very highest virtue and I deeply respect someone who can find it in their heart. In this case the victims lived their Christian faith very deeply and their…
