  1. He never misses an opportunity to look like an absolute dick.
  2. It’s typical Dershowitz. Nullify the investigator/judge/jury/prosecution/whatever with an illusion of bias on their own part. I would encourage anyone curious about the first sentence I just typed to watch, or re-watch, his “debate” (more like his execution) against Chomsky back in 2005. At one point, he attempted to undermine the ICJ’s 2004 advisory opinion on the West Bank wall by whining about the fact that “Israelis aren’t allowed to serve on the ICJ!!!” Putting aside the fact that bias of a judicial institution does in fact zero to preclude the findings (unanimous, I must add) of its judges who do not make such rules…yeah Israelis are not allowed to serve because they’ve categorically refused to accept jurisdiction. That’s like bitching that the POTUS never nominates a “sovereign citizen” to serve on the SCOTUS. It’s just another example of pure confusion on his part, which is a greater symptom of what he is: a pathological liar. And with this Epstein business, I have no doubt the same dynamic Finkelstein described is at work. I have no doubt that Dershowitz 1) believes he never raped a 14-year old that was provided to him by Jeff Epstein and 2) knows full well that he did. And the same is true of Trump. His main argument at Impeachment: The Sequel was “you can’t impeach a president after his term is up,” when there’s literally no provision in the constitution that prevents that from happening. He knows full well that the Senate faces no penalty for trying such an impeachment, and yet he believed it all the same. If Al said “the sky is blue,” I wouldn’t trust him even if his tongue were notarized. He’s one of those characters that would rather climb up a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth.
  3. It’s not like this guy didn’t have a point…
  4. Abandon. Do not engage. The only way those people stand a snowball’s chance in hell in coming back to reality is isolation from friends and family members. They’re like drug addicts.
  5. No way because it’s not really an abortion if an 11-year old terminates a pregnancy via voluntary inducement of a miscarriage.
  6. FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!
  7. Perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration’s legacy in as few words as possible.
  8. Yeah it was never about states rights. That was always known to be a pretext to accomplish phase 1: repeal Roe, and it was always understood by every smart person who follows this that there was a phase 2: criminalize nationally. They’re the most dishonest people on the face of the planet.
  9. That gives “people” a bad name. We need to stop playing with kid gloves and start referring to “people” who think like this as what they are: morally inferior cretins
  10. I mean is it any different than what Maher predicted? And it’s what we’ve known about him. Remember this from 2016? All of this was perfectly predictable going back a long time.
  11. Like Cartman saying “I broke the dam”
  12. You’re gonna need to jump to nine to even consider it, sir.
  13. So speaking of the education system…
  14. It’s mostly propaganda from the ownership class. They bitch about it for several reasons, none of which are good: -They need more customers to buy their shit and to continue to top quarterly figures instead of actually innovating stuff. -They need more employees, to whom they can pay increasingly shitty wages, and to increase overall productivity. -Christianity is in a relative state of decline and they think by shoving morally repugnant policies down our throats that those numbers will bounce up again…all to curtail the rise of “nones” in the US and ultimately to beat back the rise of Islam globally. -Politically their policy positions are as popular as crotch rot, so they figure a birth rate increase means GQP voter increase since the states most heavily affected by the overturn of Roe are the red ones (higher abortion rates than the blue ones generally speaking). -Yeah there’s also the race angle that’s been alluded to, as well as the safety net “concern.” To put it another way, if there’s a compelling reason to support an increase of birth rates, I’ve yet to see it. Always trust your skepticism when you see people advocating shit like that. It absolutely stinks of grift.
  15. SIAP, or at least the topic in general:
  16. “GROOMER!!!”
  17. Personally I don’t even see it as a “thou dost protest too much” situation. I see it, rather, as “we’re from a small circle that reads and hears each other’s shit and have very few original ideas of our own.” Seriously I listened to it and started wondering in certain spots “didn’t that guy already call?” If someone has it in them to leave a fucking hate-filled voice message on, if all people, Adam Kinzinger’s voicemail box, someone is a special kind of dumber-than-a-second-coat-of-paint.
  18. I mean I get it, but all that really serves is to show how far to the right they’re willing to go. I find no comfort in that. I find no comfort with any CEO saying “yeah we do want to dominate the world and control its resources, but at least we don’t want to see teachers leading a classroom full of pregnant 15 year olds in prayer while they’re getting shot at.”
