Why is calling for an investigation and waiting for more facts a problem here? Republicans are making a habit of using sexual assault or sexual misconduct accusations to discredit Democrats *whether the accusations are substantiated or not*, while refusing to take seriously accusations against their own.

I wish I could star this more than once.

None of us has any idea which of these two is telling the truth. We should insist on a full comprehensive investigation, but after 15 years, it’s not likely to clarify anything.

I initially wondered what the endgame was. I knew damned well that this Conservative group wasn’t attempting to destroy the white Governor just to see him replaced with an African American.

I started writing out a long comment in which I broke down how utterly insane this SOTU was, but I’ll save my energy for the gym tonight.

“Jfc, they really just snatched as many kids as they could and NEVER thought about ramifications or the future....”

“The only problem with that approach is that not all victims are comfortable confronting their abuser...”

“...He wouldn’t bring this up unprompted in a vanilla press tour unless he was genuinely contrite”

Wasn’t he also on that short-lived BET soap opera too?

This particular person seems to be a racist who only complained because her 2 seat mates were African American. I could still see her being booted from the plane even if she wasn’t transparently racist, because she did appear to be becoming an issue which would have been impossible to address once airborne.

“Even European socialist paradises still have private insurance. Like, openly, alongside their vaunted universal healthcare. America will to. The idea that you’ll eliminate all private insurance by imposing a vast government system instead is grossly stupid.”

Uhmmmmmmm... NO...

*I’M* not a white people.

All Virginians aren’t racist.

Yeah... I find it hilarious that a place that serves the worst coffee -as pretentiously as is possible- is somehow a hipster symbol.

“CS: I never expected it would be this bad. Here’s what I thought. I knew who he was. But I thought he could learn. If anything, he’s regressed...”

A comedian famous at the time, Martin Lawrence, I think, had a bit about the most powerful boxer at the time, which I think applies here:

“Michelle wrote in Becoming that he would, on occasion, hang out with the kitchen staff and watch a college basketball game after dinner...”

C’mon, take it easy on the Guv. How are we supposed to get students prepared for their unionless, no worker’s rights, gig economy futures if we spare them from potential frostbite as kids?

Hol up... STACEY ABRAMS???
