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.

If you’re getting “lumped in with rapists,” that’s a you problem. And generally means women don’t perceive you as safe for a reason.

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.

I still think it’s a bad idea that is implemented poorly, unnecessarily punitive and strongly doubt the perceived benefit. But I didn’t learn that “I don’t like this” != “unconstitutional” so there’s that.

One of the first things I asked when I started following/being followed by legal peeps was how something like that could be allowed. I thought it s/b unconstitutional. They (correctly) asked what part of the constitution covered that.

Any good recommendations for someone addicted to fantasy with a bit of romance and or mystery? Preferably series, the longer the better and nothing too cerebral. I like no nutritional value to my entertainment.

Maybe if you all reported more honestly when he does something bat-shit crazy, we wouldn’t be here. As far as I’m concerned, NYT and Washington Post have failed to meet the moment and aren’t useful for anything but possibly toilet paper.

Whoever is keeping the 2029 master list: Once he’s out, however he goes, the title of President or even Former President must be stripped from him for eternity. I don’t care if it takes a constitutional amendment, referring to him w/that title s/b illegal. Penalty to be a fine scaled to income.

I’m not a war-knower or defense guru, but it seems to me spending large amounts of the defense budget on a vanity arch while simultaneously depleting our strategic weapons reserve is bad, generally. www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/…
