My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

The whole "he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and still be supported" (or whatever street it was) is an understatement. He could eat an infant alive in the middle of an packed NFL stadium with live broadcasting, and his lunatic followers would still support him.

Yes--it's even worse coming from a draft-dodging POS traitor like him.

Yeah--too many times I've seen the "I don't understand" as an attempt to not do work. I usually refer to assignment instructions and give examples and ask what it is that they don't understand (also, I teach freshman comp, so they shouldn't be that confused).

Grew up in Clarksville--you're right, but I kid people from Louisville that it looks the best from Indiana (but I suppose you have to leave a city to get a picture of its skyline)

Haven't heard this one before. I hate when I have BEC's in a class. It's now part of my vernacular--thank you.

Thanks for sharing, and JFC these dudes are scary. This is what the right wing propaganda machine creates. It's the result of people whose main form of entertainment/recreation is political theater.

Agreed. There's a legal case for him to fucking rot in Leavenworth (or maybe Florence, in my neck of the woods), but not a third term.

Yeah, he's def confusing it with chicken pox, which most kids did get (I was born early '70's). I would occasionally see measles referenced in old cartoons (a character would paint dots on their face to scare others).
