Should you wear a condom for civil rape ?

 

People are giving George kudos for this interview but to me, it is soft as baby shit. I would love a UK reporter to crack on these weak fucks. 
 

“Incorrect, I’m not shaming you for rape, which is an odious allegation, and to be frank, I find the allegation beneath you, and that of your office. I am asking if you find your position of supporting rape victims to be incongruous with your position of supporting a rapist?”

His plan has to be to win the election and somehow make this all go away right?  Why would he keep doing this over and over?

She came out looking terrrible. She didn't make sense of her claim. She ignored the rational voice of Stephenopoulos.

I'm not sure how to call that a loss for the host. Other people have their ways, but letting Mace repeat the same rubbish over and over was not a losing strategy.

She gives major bad kisser and pillow princess vibes. I'm not like, super adverse to the latter necessarily, but combined with the former it's a big red flag.

Her earrings were cute tho

Older voters won't be enough of a factor in 4 years, and I'm specifically talking about efforts to keep power through antidemocratic means. They won't only have to contend with Capitol Police. Even if they were to succeed on Jan 6, they won't be able to hold onto power on Jan 7 or later unless enough of the workforce goes along with their plan.

See…this is the thing people don’t get. Once the authoritarian takes power, it doesn’t matter if the masses go along with it later or not. The authoritarian regime can use brutal force to keep the disgruntled “work force” in line. And it will. That’s how these things go.

I have a lot of bad things to say about America. It was built on genocide and slavery. It has never not been racist, beginning with the 3/5th compromise, continuing through the Civil War, through the Chinese Exclusion Act, through Japenese internment camps, through Jim Crow, through the assassination of MLK and other civil rights leaders, through the Southern Strategy and "state's rights," through the Islamophobic "war on terror," through the Birther movement, into the election of Donald Trump and his Muslim Ban, family separations, Remain in Mexico, and the Great Replacement theory.

Our cherished institutions are bullshit. The Supreme Court is and always has been a tool for political operatives to achieve what they could never achieve through a popular vote. Congress is broken seemingly by design. The Electoral College did not make sense at the time of the founding and makes even less sense today.

Meritocracy is a myth. The idea that a person's accumulation of wealth corresponds to their contributions to society is a joke. American exceptionalism is unsubstantiated propaganda. And don't get me started on all of our unwarranted interference with the affairs of other countries.

That is my take on America, and although I'm incredibly jaded about America and disinclined to believe anything positive about it, one of the few attributes about America that I can't deny is that for better or for worse (usually for worse) the people are very attached to individualism and the principles of limited power. Moreso than the Russian people. Sure, we haven't been tested much in that respect since FDR, but I just don't see an overwhelmingly Millennial and Gen Z workforce going along with an autocracy.

And yet, we're still doing pretty good. We're still allowed (in most states) to point out these flaws. We still have the power (outside of GOP-controlled areas) to make things better. I was ambivalent at best about moving out to California back in the day; I'm feeling really great about it now.

We're not conditioned to accept that in the same way the Russians are. That was my whole point.

That's highly subjective. I can appreciate the progress that has been made, but it doesn't even scratch the surface of atonement for genocide, slavery, and the wholesale theft of assets from Japanese, German, Italians, and other people. The fact Donald Trump has been president and could be president again is another indictment of the conscience of the American people. There's a lot of work to be done, and it's not happening fast enough.

My point was simply that we shouldn't extrapolate anything from how Russia responded to an autocratic takeover. Even though we are shitty, we are very different from them.

Sure, you eventually do.
In between (and during that revolution) you spill untold gallons of blood and set the country back decades….if you’re lucky enough to throw off the fascist internally. Check up on how well “throwing off the fascist yoke” worked for Germany and Italy, for example.
This is our concern dude. We know that this “body” can ultimately survive this cancer. We’re just saying MAYBE it would be wise not to contract it on purpose, being that the cure involves surgery/amputation and brutal chemo and radiation that takes years off your life.

The fat and happy do not seem to make for a risky revolutionary surge. As I wrote elsewhere, it's concerning that we don't even get mass demonstrations about Trump and the GOP.

I, sadly, see this going down rather tamely.

Why does an insurance company need to retain outside counsel over a bond they wrote?

I'm guessing this is like a corporate bond issue on small scale, where there are bond underwriting counsel.  And, because there is an unusually high risk of default (ie the bond being seized in whole or in part after the appeal), a good bit of that is enforcing the security/collateral obligations the bond provides.

She would just keep repeating her talking points and accuse them of shaming her.

Probably what Twice says but the name of the law firm (Akerman) immediately jumped out at me. At first, I assumed it was talking about The Ackerman, who is a HUGE partner with Chubb. Ackerman is basically their crisis management firm who handles investigations, deep, deep, deep background checks, high risk security situations (guarding against K&R and other shit like that). Then I realized that there's also a law firm that is spelled a little differently so who knows?

I like how in every re-defamement, he keeps saying that he has no idea who she is. Dude how much time did you spend in that courtroom? If you don't know who she is at this point you should probably see a doctor.

I believe it refers to Akerman LLP, f/k/a Akerman Senterfitt.  A pretty big but low-profle biglaw firm.

I don't understand what is even going on anymore. He's supposedly being held accountable for the defamement but now he can just continue to do it? At what point does this just become something that he simply cannot do anymore? Do the punishments get worse for each subsequent case?

Maybe his mind is actually so far gone that he really doesn't know who she is and he keeps defaming her because he can't remember that he's already lost 2 lawsuits for that.

Question. If we learn that Dotard has been selling off those classified documents (which, come on, of course he has) to, say, North Korea, would that qualify as treason?

Well it seems like 16.5X seems to be roughly the escalator for each subsequent defamation lawsuit so maybe:

 

Carroll #1-  5 million

Carroll #2-  83.3 million

Carroll #3-  1.37 billion??

Because he can't exist in a reality where he is not the smarted person in the room.  To stop would be to admit he's been wrong about EVERYTHING to himself and his supporters and his ego won't let him do that.  And yeah, its generally worked out for him to this point, so why stop now?

If he wins the election, I think you'll see him take a big fucking hatchet to the justice department, fill it with cronies and yes men, and then use them to target the states that have cases against him for leverage.

“He’s a bullshitter.”  — Barack Obama

Obama summed it up neatly and succinctly. If you have any life experience at all, you’ve known at least one of them. Someone who exaggerates and fabricates all the time. Combine that with his narcissism and immaturity and perpetual victimhood and general unhinged bitchassedness and you have the spoiled-brat-snake-oil-salesman-turned-POTUS Donald Trump.

He knows who she is. He can’t remember his forced penetration of her because he’s done it so many times before to other women that he can’t distinguish one victim from the other. He doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with doing that because, as he’s told us more than once, he thinks that’s the way things work, “unfortunately or fortunately.” He said that. Maybe it’s fortunate that stars like him can just grab women by their genitals. That’s just the way it’s been for “millions of years.” Aw, shucks.

He wants to delay the Hush Money case until Presidential immunity is decided.  He really believes that the President should be able to get away with murder.  

Wait, he wasn't President when he, sigh, paid off that porn star. Not that paying off porn stars falls within presidential duties anyway, but that happened prior to the election.

Exactly my thought, but I'm no lawyer.  He paid* Stormy Daniels prior to becoming POTUS, and he's not POTUS now.   "Presidential immunity".

*OK, Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels.

Akerman is what used to be known as Akermen, Senterfitt & Eidson.  I think they were originally based in Orlando, Florida but have grown to be a large national firm.  I interviewed with them when I was in law school and have a couple of former classmate friends who I think are still there.
