  1. How do you have even less regard for the law than I do?
  2. Are you fucking serious with this? After that birthday card? After several reports from different girls that he raped them when they were underaged?
  3. Blackman is only bailing because a lot of other rats have already fled and it would be extremely professionally embarrassing (moreso than he's used to) to stay behind.
  4. I think the attempted coverup is pretty clear evidence that he thinks they will care that he raped teenagers.
  5. The whole thread is just this:
  6. This seems high. I mean, just look how many Republican men we know are pedophiles.
  7. Of course they were, because that's a routine part of the job of journalism. Bari didn't want to give them an opportunity to respond, she wanted to give them a veto.
  8. This was Bozo yesterday: That sounds exactly like what a blue-haired progressive might say to some chud Rogan fan. "Your feelings are valid and I want to sit here with you in them." I think we can all imagine the response that would generate from the chud and Bozo usually thinks that type of talk is very silly and counterproductive. I know he just read that and thought "I don't mean you say literally those words!" We get that, which is why we've all understood what he's been advocating this entire time to be that we need to indulge a chud's belief that he's been unfairly discriminated against, even when that's obviously a false belief.
  9. Eh, close enough.
  10. No, he wants to blame affluent white progressives for attempting to help minority groups. That way it's totally not racist. Bozo thinks he had a potential political career fucked over by someone overly concerned about racial identity politics and has been bitching about it here ever since. He doesn't even get the history right. The Democrats began abandoning majoritarian middle class economic interests long before the party began championing progressive social issues. The abandonment of majoritarian middle class economics goes back at least to Carter's administration and sped up with Clinton's first election. And while that abandonment aligns to some extent with the economic interests of big Democratic donors, it wasn't driven by their financial interests. It was driven by the fact that they got the shit kicked out of them by Reagan running on a small government platform. Democrats looked at their pro-labor political messages and this result and the conclusion they drew was that America was deeply conservative: From ~1980 to 2012, the party tried to split the baby on "narrow social issues" pretty much every election. They were for civil rights but also tough on crime. They wanted abortion to be safe, legal, and rare. They didn't think gay people should be able to get married, but thought they should be able to enter into civil unions. Etc. They very much thought American politics was about turning a dial that had a clear "left" and "right" on it, and thought that by landing right in the center of that dial they could win. The party didn't really begin embracing a politics focused on embracing social issues until around 2012, when Obama came out in support of gay marriage, which was in response to a growing shift in public sentiment in support of gay marriage. They then became a bigger deal during Trump's first term in response to his white supremacy and particularly in 2020 after George Floyd, and the party finally actually embraced abortion as a political issue during Biden's administration after the repeal of Roe. But again, these were all in response to shifts in public sentiment; the poll nerds just looked at that and said "hey the center of the dial is actually left of where it used to be now, we have to move to the new center." Where the party actually failed is that they completely forgot that political figures can change public opinion and thought the answer to all of politics was in simply chasing public opinion to triangulate perfectly in the center on as many issues as you could. But Bozo doesn't get to play the victim in that story.
  11. There’s something so funny about the apotheosis of American conservatism being the ultimate participation trophy guy.
  12. Maybe sit this one out.
  13. I think we're done here.
  14. I doubt this was intended as a joke, but it's a fucking great one, man.
