And if you look at what happened to a number of these children, they were not old enough to consent legally. But by your standard, they would have been consenting if they were 18. The patterns of sexual exploitation are, however, similar across the age categories. Women and children deserve better!

And it occurs to me that you ARE doing a version of what Megyn Kelly did. Because while Lewinsky wasn't a child, she was a very star-struck and inexperienced young woman, and she was in awe of Clinton. We don't need older women deciding which women OR girls are fair game for predatory males.

You're an editor but can't parse meaning? I said he exploited an intern, and you both came with your "she asked for it and was more than willing" comments. Now that I'm questioning your morality on sexual exploitation of young women by powerful old men, the goal posts are moved to pedophilia. Stop.

If you would read what I said, I never said it was illegal. I said it was exploitation.

Debatable

Jesus, what's wrong with you

I said it was exploitation. I didn't say it was pedophilia.

Affair? He exploited an intern.

It doesn't mean that in French at all.

The analogy doesn't hold.

It's weird how some people don't understand how the rest of people feel. It's like another cult that can't perceive any other reasoning. Red cult and blue cult. The Democrats are not going to look good. Are you serious?

What

Run tell your MOM.

She does know it. This is a performance.

She doesn't actually believe it. That's the CYA part of the sellout.

They live to fight again... Ahaha are you a bot? An agent? They live to capitulate and betray another day. That is ALL. And that's what gave us Trump more than anything else. Lying, enabling, complicit, useless Democrats.

They didn't vote because of shit like this! Are you daft?? What they just did is designed to demoralize people and drive them away from the voting booth. Are you really this obtuse?

And btw, it was exactly this type of fecklessness from the Democrats that allowed fascism to rise in the first place. I hold them MORE responsible than the Republicans, for being such a useless pseudo-opposition that takes up space and sucks the air out of anything more viable.

They ARE scared, and you can see signs of it everywhere. Jesus, do you enjoy living on your knees? The only strategy the Democrats had was how to sell out their electorate and get away with it. It's time to make them all HAVE to care.

This is great. Love the texture.

Fighting back was what they didn't continue to do here.

Jesus, this wasn't strategic. It was flat out capitulation, and unnecessary at that. The Republicans are on the run after Tuesday. The handwriting was on the wall for them. This was done to demoralize the Tuesday voters.

They're doing exactly what they exist to do, and that is halt leftward progress on behalf of their corporate masters. Only now, they're a Vichy presence.

They are the more important foe. It's time to get a clue. For god's sake, what will it take for some of you?

When will people understand their role? They are Vichy Democrats.

That's delightful

They prefer looking helpless but to help us all get fucked.

Is this a joke?

That said, I don't have much confidence he will be rehabilitated. But you're focused on the lone woman in the story. I've seen nothing to indicate she has the views of the Turner judge. She seems to have wrongly gone along with the prosecution's recommendations. Strange fixation.

That also would have come from the prosecutor. It comes down to whether you believe in rehabilitation for young sex offenders or not. And whether you believe incarceration will reinforce the behaviors or diminish them. Your entire focus on the judge is curious.
