they've all done it. From Newt Gingrich to Bill Clinton, Nelson Rockefeller to John McCain, politicians of all stripes have upheld one of the country's not-so-proud traditions: romancing women almost half their age.
But in our current era of political correctness and lack of privacy, that behavior has come under fire, exposing lawmakers to ridicule and sometimes leading to career-breaking scandals, such as the recent congressional imbroglio involving underage pages.
So, when the news first broke that San Francisco's popular 39-year-old mayor Gavin Newsom was dating a 19-year-old model and restaurant hostess (she's since turned 20), the city buzzed with gossip -- and more than a little scuttlebutt -- about the City by the Bay's newest power couple
Say what you will about Gavin Newsom (he’s a secret Republican, he platforms Nazis, he vetoed a bill to help pay WGA&SAG members during the strike) but what you can’t say is he’s in the Epstein Files
Because he’s a real man who can source his own teen girlfriends.

…Because, the story goes, we need the votes of people who *don’t* want full trans rights. Because THEY have that purity test, and must be catered to.
So trans people and the people who love them should just suck it up and watch their rights taken away. For some mythical voter’s (yep) purity test.

BlueAnon (the putatively liberal version of QAnon) is 100% a thing and it’s important for us to acknowledge that and try to root it out.

There are people with principled takes on the 2nd Amendment, like the 1st.
But if you ever believed that the American Right broadly supported 2nd Amendment rights, as opposed to rights for people who agreed with them, you are a fool.

friendly reminder
The things you believed were right yesterday are still right. They'll be right if they put you in jail. They'll be right if they shoot you. They'll still be right when these people are dead and dusted and gone.
which they will be

very specific to DC complaint here but when trump is threatening to take over the city's historically significant public golf courses so he can privatize them and make them another getaway for the 1% i don't think going "well maybe they shouldnt be golf courses to begin with" is helpful or realistic

Retailers Dealing With Increasing Levels of Theft and Violence
Report emphasizes importance of preventive measures, coordination with law enforcement
can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.
