the more i think about it the more i realize how massive of a problem it is that bragging about sexual assault just sounds like regular sex talk to a lot of guys. like, thats disturbing.

My only hope is that this high-profile case helps galvanize segments of the population to further stigmatize that garbage.

Right? Like, there is a difference between "yeah man we had sex she was hot etc" and "I can just do whatever I want to women"

Oh god, I had forgotten about this, it was so long ago:

O’Keefe’s brand of performance activism first made national headlines in 2009, with the release of several heavily edited videos that O’Keefe said showed staff from the nonprofit Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) engaging in criminal behavior. In the videos, O’Keefe and an associate are portrayed as if they had dressed as a “pimp” and a “prostitute” attempting to elicit help from ACORN staff in eight offices across several cities in supposedly setting up a child prostitution ring. It was later discovered that, among other misrepresentations in the edited videos, O’Keefe and his associate were not, in fact, dressed flamboyantly during their secretly recorded meetings at ACORN offices, and the audio of ACORN workers was muted and edited. An independent investigation, state-led investigations in California and New York, and a federal investigation through the Government Accountability Office all found no evidence of illegal activity from ACORN staff, and a Congressional Research Service report found no instances of ACORN violating the terms of its federal funding, but it did note that O’Keefe and his associates may have violated state bans on secret recording in California and Maryland. The California attorney general concluded that O’Keefe had engaged in “highly selective editing of reality.” An ACORN employee who was terminated because of the videos subsequently sued O’Keefe and his associate Hannah Giles, and O’Keefe had to settle the case and issue a public apology.

And:

In August 2014, O’Keefe released a video in which he purportedly crossed the Rio Grande River while wearing an Osama Bin Laden costume, a stunt meant to suggest that terrorists could easily enter the U.S. at the Mexican border. Gawker immediately debunked the video in a post titled, “James O’Keefe Is Getting Desperate as Hell, Part MCMXVII,” pointing to evidence O’Keefe grossly misrepresented the area he repeatedly crossed in his video. Even Fox News host Eric Bolling couldn’t defend O’Keefe’s antics, saying the video was “not helpful,” and that O’Keefe ought to “give it a rest.”

I hate this election so much. I need to go grab beer for tonight.

Forget drinking, do some yoga! haha

I watched Game Change last night, so, of course, Palin came into our life. I'll be eager to see what comes out of the Trump campaign after this election is over.

Finding out Sarah Palin will be there tonight made me grin like Ron Swanson.

It just keeps getting better and better. I might not survive this flaming zombie corpse of an election season, but I'll have died entertained.

I've been rereading the Game Change books recently and they are quite interesting in retrospect

Says a lot about politicians that many GOPers privately disliked Romney, but will publically support any Republican, even Trump

Dominick · Oct 19, 2016

Holy shit. It just occurred to me that they may interject during the debate.

Jason Tate · Oct 19, 2016

There's a not-zero chance that secret service has to protect Hillary at some point tonight, maybe from her debate opponent. That's where we are. That's 2016. I can't say with certainty it's not at least possible.
