Couldn’t watch that whole video without screaming, but what I did see brings a few things to mind: first, I imagine that actual missionaries have done the exact same thing as this asshole in centuries past. Most history books don’t go into specific missionary methodology, but there really shouldn’t be any question…

Are you suggesting that everyone should process something as stressful as being grilled on potentially traumatic events *in open court* the same way as you believe you would?

“Mr. McGahn and his lawyer, William A. Burck, could not understand why Mr. Trump was so willing to allow Mr. McGahn to speak freely to the special counsel and feared Mr. Trump was setting up Mr. McGahn to take the blame for any possible illegal acts of obstruction, according to people close to him.”

This happened in Uganda. Also, fuck deportation. He broke Ugandan law, on video. He is subject to any applicable penalties said law breaking allows.

Did you read the same story the rest of us read? TWO separate, unconnected women made credible allegations against this dude.

INSHannity and The Turtle absolutely bear some responsibility for empowering so many white women who are shitty people, but aren’t those women also responsible for their own shit?

I did the same thing when I was grade schooler. It hurt, but not nearly as much as I’d expected. I think the tiny remnants of that memory kept me from panicking when I shot a construction staple thru the tip of my finger, with one of those pneumatic staplers the other day.

EXACTLY.

No worries. The fact that you enjoy Prince, demonstrates your good taste.

I saw Mission Impossible: The One After The Last One That Came Out, the other day. I was telling someone else about the movie and couldn’t remember the name of the character Angela Basset played. Not because she turned in a substandard performance (not possible), but because I was struck how, in addition to being a…

I’m not the only one who read “container store” and had his half sleep brain autocorrect to “package store”, am I?

Except as others have mentioned, she doesn’t need to make the video public. She can show the tape to a trusted journalist- with prearranged conditions, and WITHOUT giving the journalist a copy. Hell, that potentially helps her case further, since that would be only 1 pair of eyes scrutinizing the footage.

I still genuinely don’t know what to make of these allegations. The Twitter thread you posted includes a link to the article written by Amy Alexander, who made abuse allegations against Ellison in 2006 iirc. Her allegations of emotional abuse matches these newer allegations and are easy to believe. I’m not quite sold…

Is this a FUCKING joke??!!

I wanna give you a star for your second line, but I can’t support your first, so....

I showed my then 6 year old daughter some MJ videos and she was absolutely enthralled. She was like a kid who finally ate some good Mac and cheese after years of the crap from a box. LOL

“She lost. She was a shit candidate.”

It’s always difficult to defend a person one doesn’t know really, really well against charges like this, cause we don’t really know what that person is capable of. But this sounds like some RNC generated bullshit.

While I don’t think Musk has any reasonable way to get 82 Billion to go private at this point, does anyone doubt either that or cashing out is his eventual goal?

Word.
