I also believe in second chances, the path to redemption, and forgiveness. I think most people do, Judith. The problem is that you’ve given it to a man who hasn’t done anything to deserve those things other than statements that were probably written by his PR and legal teams.

If you're sincerely "not familiar" with the Mormon Church's cover up of sex abuse, then you're committing far greater offense than Emily and every other critic of mass institutions that abuse our most vulnerable citizens.

fwiw, i feel like you missed the point. lds viewing caffeine as ‘bad’ but not giving a fuck about molested children was the point. it’s the cognitive dissonance and/or wanton hypocrisy around ‘protecting’ their youth.

But do you really think that’s what lost her the election? At the end of the day I think it was more the Clinton stench and less that she is a woman that was the problem. Nevermind the fact that she one the popular vote. I think that the best way to deal with an insane mysognist is to ignore and redirect - don’t give…

I want the ones that make my chompers look like they’re the city walls around Toothopolis fending off the Cavity Creeps. What do they call that product?

The only one in the same ballpark in the USA is squaw. It’s both racist and misogynistic.

I’m always amazed and horrified when a fellow white person claims that some word or other is “like the n-word”. Sorry, but there’s no term that that has been used interchangeably with “property” the way that the n-word has. There’s shitty words, for sure, but you do not need to “explain” that they are shitty by…

Thank you for this article. It brings to mind Sinead O’Connor’s public outcry over what was happening in Ireland and abuse - and now we know deaths- of thousands of newborns and wee children right in front of the so called blind eyes of the government in collusion with the Catholic Church.

...but gay marriage desecrates the institution.

I’m actually INCREDIBLY excited for this. American Crime Story has been incredible each season (Darren Criss in Versace!) and I was completely dumbfounded hearing this story through the Slow Burn podcast. I hope, though, that they don’t portray Lewinsky as exclusively a victim. It’s true she was insanely villified…

So you don’t think that anything was wrong with the way that the public (and the media and the politicians) jumped all over her? Because the fallout was arguably worse than the issue that caused the fallout. Monica was gaslit and defamed and emotionally tortured and basically blacklisted from any kind of “real” job…

Yeah, the ACSs have been actual, legit, prestige television.
Darren Criss was a fucking revelation in Versace. 

Monica’s on board... I’m on board.

I think Paula Jones is due for redemption.

Lewinsky was used by the right and smeared by the left, so I am interested in her perspective on this. The Clintons have left the Democratic Party a complicated legacy, to say the least.

Through the decades, the writing in Playboy has actually been quite good.  This isn’t some huge departure.  

I have a friend who is probably innocent, who took a plea-bargain because he faced a mandatory 14 year minimum if he lost at trial. His lawyer was pretty confident, but 10 years of probation, vs 14 YEARS?

Straight celebs announcing their gender/sexual fluidity is the new adopting a black or Vietnamese kid.
