Even in an emergency, such as a global pandemic, the president can’t circumvent Congress and postpone or cancel the general election.

The way people obsess over this child is freaky

You know what five words sound really lovely right now?

Senate Majority Leader Elizabeth Warren.

I wasn’t raised a Christian and so haven’t a whole lot of the liturgical baggage having to do with the religion. I would suggest that these spiritual advisors go back to read the actual words of their saviour; because that which they are preaching has no reference at all to them but are merely frightened and

Woefully underpaid. Not only do home care workers care for the elderly, they often provide services for disabled children, like mine. Due to myriad reasons, some of which you mentioned, before Covid-19 we were at a 30% shortfall in needed staff for medicaid only, with about 37% turnover in Michigan. My family, hasn’t

In fairness:

Has anyone told Trump’s “spiritual advisor” she’s not the fucking pope and doesn’t have any sort of divine power? What gave her the idea that she is some kind of voice of God?

Thank you for the work you do, Brittany. I cared for my wife for some years at home, until her dementia became too severe; I know how difficult it can be. I depended on outside help when I was at work. Our lives would have been much the worse without home caregivers like you.

It’s textbook ratfuckery that hurts everone it touches, unless she’s telling the truth, in which case it’s textbook political hypocrisy and Trump gets

Wigdor, the “Trump donor lawyer” also legally represented six Weinstein victims, publicly spoke up for Blasey Ford, and most recently donated to Hakeen Jeffries. 

I think this and the Vox article linked here really highlight why the coverage and some of the discussion on this has been so frustrating.

The lawyers’ motivation for taking the case doesn’t make the allegation less true. She could have wanted to come forward and then took the opportunity when it was available.

I mean, if you throw a rock at a group of lawyers, chances that it will hit one who is conservative and donates to republican causes is pretty high. Lawyers as a professional group, tend to male, white and often wealthy. Basing your perspectives on what the legal counsel does or did is a terrible look. I mean if we go

I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not, but can we stop pretending polygraph tests are anything but bullshit? They certainly aren’t “lie detectors.” 

If I wanted to combat the notion that my sexual assault accusation was politically motivated, I don’t think I’d hire a prominent Trump donor to represent me, then recruit Megyn Kelly to interview me.
