Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

“…for this kind of predator, the thing about teenagers is that they are just adult enough to be worth desiring, but not adult enough to stand up to you.”
"Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory. Women's subservience is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Children's obedience is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Fathers' right to rule their families is what they believe in: they'll just tell you"

The connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.

Four in 10 women under the age of 45 say they'd like to permanently leave the U.S. Probably not coincidentally, they have also disproportionately lost trust in American institutions, including in the Democratic Party.

In summary, the average child sexual predator’s profile is: married, male, white, heterosexual, religious, surrounded by friends and family, and a parent.
If you care about protecting children from abuse, it is necessary that you understand who the actual child sexual predators are.

Child molesters are as equally married, educated, employed, and religious as any other Americans.

There is a concerted effort to disparage the progressive wing of the Dem party while elevating “centrists”. See recent NYT fluff piece on Mayor John Whitmire. The same donors who are pressing for “moderation” are the same assholes who produced Whitmire, Cuomo and the 8 members of the Cavers Caucus.

Murphy: There’s no way to defend this
I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.
