Can’t complain about “fake news” or a hit piece if they just report exactly what he said. So they did. This is the way. It can’t be sane-washed and objectively demonstrates his mental incapacity.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

This is always how it goes. The accused are allowed to ruthlessly and relentlessly smear the victims while engaging in a supposedly fair and just legal process that retraumatizes and creates fresh trauma for victims who are already supposed life altering, sometimes permanent consequences of rape

Another man accused, Scott Norris, denies that he partook in sexual misconduct but acknowledges in his own statement that misconduct took place. The men are already contradicting each other but I doubt any of them will be held accountable for making false statements while accusing the survivor of it

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

More filings were submitted in the election case involving ETA, Pennsylvania, and Cambria County yesterday. What's striking is how different the lawsuit looks today compared to when it was filed. The case began as a broad statistical challenge spanning Allegheny, Erie, and Cambria counties.

A man from Amish country bet on the U.S. Open, then sent the USTA a bomb threat. Things will only get worse.
He wanted to keep his money, and the only way to do it, he thought, was to disrupt the tennis match. From his Lancaster County home, he had thumb-typed and sent the threat to the USTA.

When the time comes, I say we give them all a choice: trial by a jury of their peers w/life sentences. OR they get dropped off in a random 3rd world country. No phone, no money, no friends. And if they make it back to the US, they can have a shitty, minimum wage job or 3.
