Reminds me of Inception. It always made me laugh that one of the film’s plot points is that DiCaprio’s character’s wife framed him for murder by committing suicide and he couldn’t beat the rap because before she did she had herself certified sane by a number of doctors.
You know, like sane people often do :dubious:.
The story behind the “65 Women” letter.
So there’s a damn good chance that these are for the most part Republican fans of his that never actually met him back in the day.
If he actually thinks that these in any way would be relevant to whether he assaulted the one victim, then I question his ability to be a judge.
I mean, any criminal could get an affadavit of far more people they never hurt. Would he have used that to decide they weren’t guilty or liable or whatever?
Even without the other worries, I would not want a man like this in charge of anything important. The only saving grace is if this was created without his knowledge or consent by people playing politics.
In the eternal words of XKCD: “Imagine you’re at a parent-teacher conference, and the teacher reassures you that he always wears a condom while teaching. Strictly speaking, it’s better than the alternative—Yet someone is clearly doing their job horribly wrong.”
Would a letter from ten different businesses that I never worked for attesting to the fact that I have no complaints filed against me impress you?
This morning at 2 AM Texas time, hundreds of Twitter accounts simultaneously tweeted the exact same wording of a tweet supporting Ted Cruz over Beto O’Rourke. Somebody on Twitter pointed out that 2 AM Texas time is 10 AM Moscow time
If you have to go around to different schools to find women who will say he didn’t assault them, doesn’t that make them think “Huh, what about the women who wouldn’t sign?”
The signers of the letter hold a broad range of political views. It says so in the letter.
Both kinds… conservative and republican.
Chris McDaniel, candidate for the Senate from Mississippi, says African-Americans have spent the last 100 years begging for scraps from the federal government.

They weren’t students, they were part-time maids.
Related to an incident in Cincinnati where a police officer tased an 11 yr. old suspected of shoplifting. From the Lawmaker:
"Let’s say I had an 11-year-old daughter who: 1) Was shoplifting; 2) Refused to stop when ordered by law enforcement; 3) Got tased as a result. My response would be to march the kid back into the store to pay for the pilfered items and apologize to the management. Next, the kid will apologize to the security guard for failing to comply and forcing him to use his taser. And then I’ll deal with the kid after we get home.
“Look Becker, wouldn’t it bother you that your 11-year-old daughter got tased? It certainly would. I’d be ashamed and embarrassed that she did something stupid enough to get herself tased.
Every time I hear shouts of, “Justice! We want justice!,” I want to shout back, “Parenting! We want parenting!”
Later:
"In an email exchange with The Appeal’s Melissa Gira Grant published on Friday, Becker wrote that tasing “obviously depends on the age of the ‘child’ and the circumstances involved,” and that in the case of the 11-year-old accused shoplifter, “She was simply tased for resisting arrest.”
and more in the article.
From the comments:
“Some children” “parenting” “two parent intact families”
Who’s got their dog whistle bingo card handy?"
You know… morons.
He did grow up in a rough, under privileged area, then. The maids were only part time.
More gratuitous exaggerated pathologizing of the behavior of black people—black children—in order to excuse law-enforcement aggression toward them.
Bar closing time, too, isn’t it? Everybody who left alone had nothing better to do.
That’s a lot of quickies.
Man. They’re not even trying to be subtle. I guess you don’t have to be to fool the vast majority of Republicans.
Republican candidate for Congress says Medicare keeps people from finding God.
I honestly have to wonder how Clarence Thomas and Ben Carson feel about this.
NRA as a Republican front organization so I stuck this here.
"Dana Loesch, spokeswoman for the NRA, said on NRA-TV that “This could have been very different if Botham Jean had been, say, he was a law-abiding gun owner and he saw somebody coming into his apartment.”
NRA-TV:confused:
Another tidbit:
“Try to follow along: @NRA’s Dana Loesch alleged that #BothamJean would be alive if he’d had a gun. Now she says it’s not germane that there was weed in his apartment. A year ago, she argued that weed in Philando Castile’s car made him culpable in his own shooting death by police,” tweeted Shannon Watts, the founder of Mom’s Demand Action.
