Surprising exactly zero people, "forgive my youthful indescretions committed at age 53" guy recently sponsored a law to get 15-year-olds tried as adults. nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/15/n...

nashvillebanner.comNew Tennessee law allows 15-year-olds to be tried as adults - Nashville BannerTennessee's new law allows children aged 15 and older to be tried in adult court for nonviolent offenses. Critics argue it may not be effective and could lead to higher recidivism rates.

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a β€œyouthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

there are a million things worse in the report, but a random billionaire hornball starting a beauty pageant for 14-to-19-year-olds is a red flag you can see from space, and I feel like society should have been better about saying "Hey hold on there just one minute buddy"

this remains, to me, the single most baffling thing that happens regularly I know it’s a power thing, but how the fuck are SO MANY dudes apparently sending unsolicited dick pictures 24/7 what is wrong with men

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

You know baseball isn’t rigged because this has been a surprisingly anti climactic series for a team that has never won the World Series. Like they’re just straightforwardly very good.

First of all this is racist af. Second of all, it’s wildly untrue. And third of all, a group of people does not need to produce science or literature to be fully human or whatever!!! What is this, 1780??? (This is a topic in my book btw)

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

First of all, "Go home" is weak as shit. Secondly, this happens to him every day now and I for one find that encouraging.

He needs to be impeached just for being this stupid. It's embarrassing to have someone this stupid in front of a microphone.

I am not naive about these people. How could you be after 10 years? But even this left me stunned and my mouth agape at the sheer ignorance.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

Dustin π“…ƒ reposted

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

I know it’s really distasteful and dispiriting and gross to think about, but you won’t understand Trumpist politics or the status of women if you don’t understand that a lot of people aren’t just in denial about the prevalence of rape; they are affirmatively pro-rape.
