Editor's notebook: A failure of justice as a convicted Tennessee lawmaker skates free โ€ข Tennessee Lookout A Tennessee miscarriage of justice as convicted former House Speaker Glen Casada skates free thanks to a presidential pardon.

A federal jury seated in Nashville spent four weeks of their lives listening to testimony about Glen Casada, once the third most powerful person in Tennessee, before finding him guilty on 14 counts of corruption. A pardon from President Donald Trump had wiped Casada's slate clean: justice is dead.

A sweeping medical review just debunked RFK Jr.โ€™s fear-mongering about Tylenol and autism. Nine studies. No link. But the harm is done โ€” doctors are flooded with terrified questions from pregnant women because one man chose conspiracy over science, and panic over truth.

Tell him: โ€œWeโ€™re not talking about sleeping with 17 year olds. How young is too young to be acceptable to you? Andโ€ฆ are you OK with these children being raped, and then passed around among middle-aged men? As to โ€œIndians and Mexicansโ€ - I imagine youโ€™re scared that they work hard and you donโ€™t.โ€

Iโ€™m so glad it worked for you. You both must be very special people to beat the odds like that.

This has been expected behavior from men for generations.

โ€œMad moneyโ€ wasnโ€™t to spend โ€œmadlyโ€ - it was so you could get away if you said no to a date and they got aggressive.

Babysitters in my era were taught to ride with their hand on the door latch door unlocked when the โ€œdadโ€ drove you home

I suspect @drjackbrown.bsky.social will get a laugh out of this. I love how Trumpโ€™s body jerks slightly, like he understood it.

As a professional fundraiser, I must say that this is spot on.

An American, I presume? I really donโ€™t think any American should be commenting on the food of any other country as โ€œinedible.โ€

Hey so โ€œunderage girlsโ€ areโ€ฆchildren. The word youโ€™re looking for is children. Theyโ€™re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. Theyโ€™re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

In my 44 years as a journalist, I'm pretty sure I never advised a "source" on how to blackmail the president of the United States

โ€œBut her emailsโ€ was just another confession disguised as an accusation, itโ€™s so incredibly obvious now.

Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

Reminds me of the guy in New York City who used to do this all the time.

Walter Cronkite used to introduce himself to others. This was when he was the anchor of the leading news broadcast, back when there were only three channels to watch, AND he had been voted โ€œThe Most Trusted Man in America.โ€ Thatโ€™s the humility I think about.

I donโ€™t know how bad the economic numbers are going to end up this quarter. But I do know the party that controls the presidency, House and Senate is going to blame the party that doesnโ€™t.

โ€œLittle Bitch.โ€ Iโ€™m not even going to try to top that. I am not.

My sister and I were both gym rats in our 20s. She said no one ever hit on her in the AM, only when she did afternoons. I went nights, only 1 guy ever hit on me. It was 6:00 pm, December 31. He said, โ€œWhat are you doing tonight?โ€ I said, โ€œLegs, Chest, and Triceps.โ€ On NYE. Not a good way to meet.

Oh, I completely agree! Iโ€™m just pointing out that we donโ€™t tell girls and women any rules about how old is too old to date, itโ€™s only done from the male point of view.

Iโ€™m virtually positive that โ€œother things are in there as well.โ€ Author M. Scott Peck in โ€œPeople of the Lieโ€ asked readers to imagine the worst torture they could conceive, something theyโ€™d never seen or heard of. It was the idea of being able to imagine evil. What would rich and evil people do?

So, this is just my personal opinion, but:

Every single person about whom there exists credible evidence concerning sexual interactions with children or human trafficking should be investigated and then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
