    Geez I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. Thanks for the insight. I work in skilled nursing care so I'm only involved in the inpatient rehab side of Medicare. I have no idea how beneficial it is when someone is discharged back into the community.

    I honestly don't know much about it other than how it affects me. And it's huge.

    Based on what he said about that guy's past lawsuits, there was literally zero chance he wasn't getting sued. I guarantee they started drafting the papers as soon as he called them and asked for comment before the show even aired.

    Can't wait for the double-evisceration on this week's show. Would be so fucking cool if they had a whole segment on abuse of the defamation and libel laws ready to go this weekend, like in response to this and knowing it was coming.

    “We are now planning town halls, and we’re going to be coming to this city [Birmingham] sometime in July. We’ll talk to young people because this is bigger than Bill Cosby. This issue can affect any young person, especially young athletes today, and they need to know what they’re facing when they’re hanging out and partying. When they’re doing certain things that they shouldn’t be doing.”

    Hey so a while ago a clip was floating around of what I think was a round table discussion that mentioned that MLK would basically use the threat of more extreme peoples getting violent if he left town without a deal. Does anyone have that clip??

    Does it get more peak neoliberism than this sign?

    It's like when you ask your parents to stay out until midnight and they say no so you just start asking about 11:30, 11:00, 10:30, etc....

    He probably thinks if he's in a one on one with Trump that he could win. Might be possible.
     
  21. You all know that sign is a joke right? That it's been a meme in the gay community for a while.

    People 100 percent believe that though so I don't think him using it as a joke necessarily changes the broader meaning here.

    Meet me in Montauk. Prestigious

    So does Trump admitting to not having tapes contribute to the legal case against him at all?
     
  24. Well, yeah, people believe that Trump is an existential threat. He is. The joke is that people really like brunch, but this is important, and that there's a unique awfulness to Trump that we'll skip brunch to protest about. It's a "Bernie would have won" statement ... it's supposed to be funny while making a commentary on the awfulness of Trump. The "omg stupid neoliberals" reaction is missing the point while specifically alienating needed allies. Over a meme/joke.
