I don't know who this second politician is, but I agree, all hell would break loose, forever and a day if it were a left MP. Indeed, it seems Ok though, to torment our left female leaders repeatedly in various ways, with death and rape threats.

Makes my skin crawl that these people have to spend the twilight of their lives being denied justice by people who weren’t even alive when they were brutalized and that what were supposed to be the best years of their lives was stained by an overt rejection of justice.

I would love to know the identity of these tenured law professors who claim Northwestern won't hire them because they're white guys, and that it hires undeserving people of color instead Like, perhaps Northwestern won't hire you because you're odious, bigoted, and not as smart as you think you are?

One of my daughters has moved into a new rental home. It’s lovely and $160 a week cheaper than where she was before.

You guessed it - he put the rent up by $50 a week. Fucking greedy parasite.
