Holy shit, no way did this happen.
The Orange Exaggerator strikes again.

“Women won’t come forward because they are defamed by those who perpetrate rape.” Well said, Mr. Stephanopoulos.
Representative Mace wants to be able to use her own rape as a political cudgel when it’s convenient for her but has no problem siding with a rapist who has been credibly accused of rape by over two dozen women.
The absolute worst kind of hypocrite.

Is stuff like this even news anymore? It’s not a good thing, but when I hear conservatives/Republicans say things that seem shocking I just assume it’s made up or a distortion of some event. Since the GHW Bush administration has a GOP policy actually achieved its advertised results? Are we safer because of the GWOT? Is Afghanistan free. Is the Middle East stable? It’s all bombast and deceit, and the global we pays the price.

I’ve known Tim Burchett for years.
He’s both irretrievably stupid and a preening asshole.
And those are his best qualities.

Heather Cox Richardson referred to this statement:
“Everyone’s f*cking losing it,” a Republican strategist told The New Republic ’s Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling. “It’s one of our biggest disasters ever.”
Gee, I don’t feel owned. What about you?

Nancy Mace is not a rape victim unless her rapist was convicted for it in criminal court. Stolen Victimhood.

Too bad that those weak-kneed pundits didn’t have enough elementary insight to grasp that grandiose “look at me… look at me” pronouncements so far out - can spin around an make you look like a dumbass!
I’d love to know what security measures were in place for this unsanctioned visit by a foreign leader. Look at that crowd. Grifters and foreign intelligence agents? Who else was in the crowd?

Watched it live, which I don’t always do. A generally pleasant Oscar night. Trump’s post on Truth Social was a massive own-goal, and Kimmel brilliantly threw it right back in his face in full view of the live and broadcast audience. It was late in the show, and there was no time for Trump to Truth a response. Visions of his handlers flinging ketchup. Sadly, it’s mostly disappeared from the news by this morning.

WOW!
Sex Trafficking victim Karla Jacinto has some very harsh words for Republican Senator Katie Britt.
Britt, who used Jacinto’s story in the GOP response to the State of the Union Address, not only seems to have gotten facts wrong, but she also didn’t ask Jacinto permission to use her story.
FACTS:
- Jacinto was not trafficked by the drug cartels. She was trafficked by a Pimp.
- Jacinto was Trafficked in Mexico — never in the United States.
- The events took place under President George W. Bush.
Jacinto told CNN:
“I hardly ever cooperate with politicians, because it seems to me that they only want an image. They only want a photo — and that to me is not fair… I work as a spokesperson for many victims who have no voice, and I really would like them to be empathetic: all the governors, all the senators, to be empathetic with the issue of human trafficking because there are millions of girls and boys who disappear all the time. People who are really trafficked and abused, as she [Britt] mentioned. And I think she [Britt] should first take into account what really happens before telling a story of that magnitude”
Is Britt going to apologize for using Jacinto as a political tool?
Video…

Yup! Thank you for that. During my year living there, i did manage to meet a small number of them. Few and far between, but sane and rational people can be found, even in the deepest, darkest south.

But somebody, somewhere, thought that this was a good idea - the speech AND the presentation.
Whomever it was should be losing their job(s) this morning. This was an unforced error and it’s costing bigly.
