I really do not care if the guy who has raped kids is from my political party. My moral philosophy is that you don't rape kids, and there is nothing you can do that earns you a get-out-of-raping-kids-free card.

Rod Dreher is the kind of guy that takes upskirt photos and thinks the issue of "declining standards" is the short skirt and not the pervy photo.
Put another way, he's a guy trying to police women's bodies.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

The source is Ukrainian, so there is potential for exaggeration in these numbers, but this can't be sustainable for Russia and any capitulation now would save them from what looks to be an inevitable defeat.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

What an awful loss.
Rob Reiner, who directed such beloved Hollywood classics as 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'Stand by Me' and 'When Harry Met Sally' after starring in the trailblazing sitcom 'All in the Family,' died Sunday along with his wife, Michele, in their Brentwood home. bit.ly/48UWXSi

How is this in court? A public road blocked with a fence by a homeowner and it wasn't immediately removed? There shouldn't even be an option to fight the removal.
