This is personal for me. I’ve been an army spouse. I’ve baked cakes and watched children and held hands while these emotions were processed by people who absolutely were not emotionally prepared to also accept the fucking president being petty as fuck about your soldier’s death.
I feel so sorry for this family. Through no fault of their own, they can’t privately grieve their fallen loved one. It’s infuriating, disrespectful, and just plain wrong.
And I am infuriated by the statement by Kelly that she was out of bounds by listening to the conversation. She had a personal relationship with this family and was with them in their time of grief. If the wife of the fallen hero wanted to put in on speaker, that was her prerogative. Not to mention the fact that HE…
The key point here is Trump lied. He lied to the world on this issue. He said everything they claimed was made up, and that he had absolute proof they were telling lies. He was screaming about “fake news”, and then he was caught red-handed by his own chief of staff telling the world it was all true but the issue was…
I am so glad this shit lost his job. Can we all vow to go to the polls every single time? Even midterms? These scumbag panderers to the wealthy have NO place in public office.
None of them thought he would ever not be DA while Cosby was alive.

No, he’s still allowed to plead the Fifth if his testimony might incriminate him, even in a civil trial. The difference is (at least in my jurisdiction) that pleading the Fifth in a civil trial creates an adverse inference against him. So, had he plead the Fifth, Constand could have argued that the judge should infer…
Today, Castor’s lawyers announced that he was filing a personal injury lawsuit against Constand
So a woman is raped...files a criminal complaint...the DA refuses to prosecute...she campaigns against him in the next election to try and have her rapist brought to justice...and he sues her because he lost the election.
He’s really salty about losing his election. Too bad. So sad.
If I was a Montgomery County voter, I definitely would vote for a DA candidate who, like Steel, promised to look into filing charges against Cosby.
Funny how all these ‘manifesting a new world’ cults always seem to subjugate and abuse women. It’s like men are all ‘how do I get all the sex I want? I know! I’ll start a religion! Make ‘em think they have to!’
“sight of his naked, doughy, carbuncled flesh was going to get them in the mood.”
So now we can add ‘pot defiler’ to his long list of offenses.
Great text, thanks. And finally someone who says there is complicity and that he is complicit. And not pointing at somebody else.
He could’ve taken the same tack many others are and said, “I had no idea! This is terrible and shocking!” Instead, he says what should be said, and he (appropriately) calls himself out as well. I give someone a lot of props for acknowledging what he did wrong and why.
