I expect a big round of pox on thee, jmo!

...but it seems to me that the primary driver in all the recent sexual allegations lodged against Democrats is Hard Right retaliation for the left’s exposing the sexual predator currently running for Senate from Alabama.

This was for his last stint on the AL Supreme Court...the one he was kicked off for his Obergefell position.

Imagine the RW butthurt...

...if Malia Obama would have kissed a girl and smoked a cigar.

It could be worse...if she would have flown to Seattle and smoked a joint, they’d be preparing articles of impeachment against her dad now.

Didn’t those idiots ever see South Park? “There’s a time and a place for everything. And it’s called college.”

You're kidding me, right? Department: Jared Fogle now sovereign citizen

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2017/11/14/jared-fogle-just-tried-to-get-out-of-his-sex-crime-sentence-with-a-legal-hail-mary/?utm_term=.f3d14940fcd2

Jared Fogle, formerly beloved Subway spokesman who has become a convicted child molester and child-porn aficionado, recently appealed his sentence. His grounds: because he is now a sovereign citizen, the federal court that sent him up the river for 15 years didn't have jurisdiction over him.

Happily, it didn't work.

US District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt wrote while throwing out his appeal, "if Fogle is now claiming to be 'sovereign,' the Seventh Circuit has rejected theories of individual sovereignty, immunity from prosecution, and their ilk."

Its time

Whenever someone commits mass murder with a gun, we hear the same thing: it’s too soon to discuss gun control.

After...what is this, the twentieth time since Stochastic Terrorist in Chief Donald Trump moved into the White House?

It’s time to talk about gun control. Since the GOP has no intention of fixing this problem, it’s up to us.
