It is actually great. It is 10x better than pacer. Filing an opposition brief is like easier than ordering on Amazon.

We discounted all of them for the reasons you stated. I don't feel great about that in retrospect, because we've got to err on the side of believing women about these things.

Weren't those women also all tied to efforts of that lunatic, Richard Mellon Scaife, to destroy Clinton?
I seem to recall the rape allegations were pretty flimsy, and originated in the National Enquirer, or similar shitrag.

Yes. Which is why I said "don't feel great about" and not "we definitely should have believed them." Part "there really was a vast right wing conspiracy" and part, "I don't want to go back and look at it with different eyes because it's irrelevant now."

We're all being worked by Russia, and many other forces, to engage in a civil war. And right now I think we are in a cold civil war. Certainly a cultural one.
There's only one historically foolproof method by which to control a society, be it your enemy or your own: Divide and conquer.
Imagine if the poor of all colors and backgrounds banded together and realized how badly they're getting fucked. How brutally the system is stacked against their kids. How they're being manipulated and bled dry by rentier capitalists. How little their votes count.
Imagine if these people stopped arguing with each other and hating each other and decided to form a voting bloc that demanded actual economic justice?

The funny thing is that the way the numbers work out, it's really a minority rearguard action against a pretty clear supermajority that's winning. For all the dude's marching with tiki torches, there's way more people who think that stuff is backwards.
Of course, the question is the relative levels of investment people have in their beliefs. Lot's a of the supermajority are as much apathetic to the grievances of the rearguard as much as actively opposed (thus last November).

Oddly, I think "if the poor whites only knew" doesn't give them enough credit. They know. It's just that they what they really care about is relative status. They can't band together with groups that they view as below them.

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
So can we expect next week Dems reconsidering whether it was ok for Ted Kennedy to drown a woman?

Right. Many of the claims against the Donald were old too. I don't know about you, but I believed them. I believe the claims against Clinton too. And I believe the claims against GHWB. Men are men, regardless of political party.

Rubbish. We have been engaged in a civil/culture war since the 90s. There have been tons of books published on this for the last 30 years. Russia just moved the logs around and turned up the gas for a minute.
