As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

As a current public defender, for over a decade, I cosign everything here. We absolutely have a two-tier justice system. I've had clients convicted of non-violent misdemeanors get more jail time than dozens of people in the Epstein files.

Oh good grief.

MAGA spends all its energy policing bathrooms and drag queens while ignoring the predators in its own ranks. Robert Medcalf’s arrest for infant molestation is a grim reminder: the threat isn't the person in the wig; it's often the one in the red hat.

Yes and some in the pundit class badly want to believe that Trumpism represents the true mystical longings of the Real American volk, because they want liberals/Dems to accommodate Trumpism by scaling back their commitments to pluralism and the open society

What did we learn here? We learned that Coach Melendez shouldn't be around kids.

Sometimes, Ariana Grande doesn't look like she's exactly human. I don't mean to insult her looks; she just looks a bit elfin or alien.

The costs of anti-vax shit really needs to be a bigger part of the conversation. Ask Kennedy about his plan to expand hospital capacity when his favorite diseases come back? What is the budget for it where will it come from? How are schools to prepare?

One of the many reasons that I don't use AI.

"We're going to make sure that we have the white people voting, electing the white leaders to continue driving this country into fascism."

AI is not inevitable, as long as enough of us don't use it

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues. About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

Those fuckers should have donated

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

The middle and lower classes should pay for Trump’s stupidity??? HELL NO!

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: bacon and eggs, big styrofoam cup of Folgers, then over to the head to snort some cocaine off the toilet seat. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

RFK Jr. snorted cocaine off the toilet seat the right way. by Ezra Klein

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Seems to me that he just admitted some things here. You?

the Epstein congressional hearings are not going my way

JUST IN: Citing "onslaught of unlawful and irregular practices" and prolific media interviews by DOJ, lawyers for Don Lemon & Georgia Fort demand release of grand jury transcripts in church protest case. Presumption of regularity is gone, they say. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

Uygur has always been one of those stupid people who think that they're smart.

Happy anniversary everybody

Personally . . .

"Helicopter pilots were wounded pretty badly in the legs landing on the couple of machine gunners seemed to have make it through a thicket of bombs. But they were taken out rapidly by our snipers who stationed on platforms. Hellu-- actually unbelievable, helicopter platforms all the way the line"

Eight years ago today, I woke up and Alice was alive. She was stretched out against my hip, and she couldn't breathe, and she was alive. I had promised to let her go when she was done being a cat; when suffering was all that remained. Her oncologist agreed that we were done.

"T for Texas" was right there.

Had Biden posted a video showing Trump as a pig, Fox wouldn't have shut up for a single minute.

The absurdity of "The Trial" and "The Castle" is far less evil than Trump's absurdity.

The denaturalization project, no matter how it is cloaked in law, is inherently a politically targeted abuse of power until they go after the single most prominent case of naturalization fraud in the country: Elon Musk obtaining his citizenship by lying about his prior immigration status violations.

"Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt." (Exodus 22:21)

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Amen.

As an old feller who generally wears cowboy boots--sometimes with suits--let me note that this look is pathetic.

Out in the West Texas Town of El Paso Trumps' deadly desperado drones turned out to be quinciñera party balloons. How long til the men in white sports coats come to take him away? by Maureen Dowd

Opinion | Epstein's friends aren't just pedophiles—they're also job creators. by Bret Stephens

If Pam Bondi was a waitress.

Dylan getting another citation here.

I can't understand why Trump hasn't made him czar of something or another.

These are just varying presentations of Fundamental Malignant Assholery.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

Let's go!

"Also, please don't call us the Stasi . . ."

Gallup says it will stop doing presidential approval polls (after 88 years of doing it) because of "an evolution in how Gallup focuses it's public research". This is eliminating a time series that goes back to FDR. thehill.com/homenews/med...
