Hi. Boots on the ground here in Charlottesville. The position for the person who leads the prosecutor’s office is an elected one, while the position in charge of the local cops is not. There has been immense pressure on the local cops—who are by and large conservative morons—to never let this happen here again. …
I honestly thought it was the same guy from yesterday! LOL.
His murder of Heather Heyer was an intentional hate crime, and has been well-reported. The EIGHT PEOPLE PERMANENTLY MAIMED have gone almost unmentioned by media since that wretched event.
Say what? Pilots and taxi drivers are in the same category?
I don’t care how rich I am, it would never occur to me to tip A PILOT.
“One woman couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter spending the holidays alone, so she sent the family cat on a plane to London.”
Now, you can say, “How can you say Christian values when this man is accused of something like that.” But for us, it’s more so, “He who hasn’t sinned cast the first stone.”
Yeah, you as the star of the production were not more powerful than a young female intern. Asshole.

Of course it’s tone deaf, the man just got bitch-slapped so hard his ears were ringing! Frickin love Oliver here
Ugh, why can’t they just say “I’m sorry I behaved that way and I really regret it. I’m sorry for making [the victim] feel uncomfortable/unsafe/scared. Since that time I’ve learned a lot and I think my more recent behavior shows that change.” Admit, apologize, and do better. IT’S NOT HARD. Also, I love John Oliver, he…
OMG HE BROUGHT UP TOOTSIE
What John Oliver did was, literally, heroic. There are plenty of people who relish being the skunk at the garden party, and he’s not one of them. When I’ve seen him do things like this in the past, he looks really uncomfortable with it; even a bit scared. A hero isn’t someone who’s fearless; a hero is someone who is…
“Have you seen Tootsie?” he asked Oliver at one point. When Oliver insisted that he had and that he enjoyed Hoffman’s performance in it, Hoffman told a detailed story about staying in makeup and costume as Dorothy, the film’s title character, after shooting had ended one night and experiencing misogyny first-hand.…
To this, Hoffman turned to Wag the Dog director Barry Levinson and dismissively asked, “Am I the powerful man?”
“Am I the powerful man” is about as tone-deaf as it gets.
