Matt Bevin is the outgoing Kentucky governor who just pardoned (among others) a former school administrator with a taste for kiddie porn and a man who beheaded a woman and stuffed her into a barrel because she broke up with him.

I mean the criminal justice system in this country needs a massive overhaul and oversight and has for decades, it's absolutely disgusting, but this is just utter rank corruption. That's the sort of thing journalists exist to raise the alarms about. I'm glad that they did.
That thread is just utterly sickening in its hypocrisy.

It’s Cab Calloway’s home!! Why isn’t it already a museum??
He’s one of the most influential musicians and bandleaders in the past century. He was a huge talent and an important historical and cultural figure. This page contains just a fraction of what he accomplished. biography.com/musician/cab-c…
I’ve felt for years that he’s been shortchanged. He played with Ellington and Vaughn and I think Blakey, most of the big names really, and was a true original who continues to influence music. I can’t believe his house might get demolished, what a loss news.allaboutjazz.com/cab-calloways-…

Next time, keep your hands to yourself.
“”You violated, objectified, and embarrassed me,” Bozarjian wrote recently on Twitter. “No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere!! Do better.”

She told police the man had slapped and then grabbed her buttocks.”

Trump's buddy, Republican Matt Bevin has pardoned a man who raped his 10 year old stepdaughter, another man who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography / tampering with a witness & a 3rd man who beheaded a woman & stuffed her in barrel

Trump's buddy, GOP Gov Bevin of Kentucky pardoned a rapist serving a life sentence for raping his 6-year-old stepdaughter multiple times

I said 10

The case had been reviewed multiple times, the last time in 2018 when the Ct of Appeals said- he's guilty

Articles say "sex abuse." Read closer, it was sodomy. Here's the Kentucky statute. He raped a 6 year old

The Court noted corroborating evidence: her ability to describe sexually explicit events, depression, defiance, health problems, and fits of rage

Okay, now that he's lost a Christmas wrapped election here's my Matt Bevin rant. (Tweetstorm below.)
First, Bevin's loss isn't Trump's fault or a GOP problem, it's a Matt Bevin problem. Look at any of the downballot races. Bevin is the *only* Republican to lose. Cameron won AG by 16 over a former Dem AG. Ball won by 20 points.
Matt Bevin never should have been governor. He slipped into the nomination by sneaking a win in a three way race. His Democratic opponent makes Andy Beshear seem like Bill Clinton in comparison.

KY’s Governor, Matt Bevin (R), is up 4 re-election next week. He’s a charter-school proponent, as is Paul Sagan, chairman of @ProPublica (PP). PP helped Bevin’s re-election bid by publishing an attack series v. Allison Grimes (D)—KY’s SOS & a potential Bevin rival at the time. 1/
Here is the tweet from Matt Bevin (R) that preceded @ProPublica’s attack on Secretary of State Allison Grimes (D), who was at that time expected to run against Bevin for governor. 2/
.@ProPublica criticized Grimes 4 hiring Cyberscout to audit KY’s voting system bc Cyberscout had donated to Grimes’s campaign. But it omitted that PP’s own chairman, Sagan, sits on the Board of Akamai, which seems to be a Cyberscout competitor. 3/

A Thread for Men: When your #woman is #emotional, #crying or #stressed out, do not hold it against her. One of the lies of #feminism is that men and women are the same, including that we should process #emotions the same way. Reject the lie. Listen and learn in the posts below.
#Women have much greater #hormonal fluctuations each month than #men do. Simply put, a woman's thought life and #emotions are more prone to high highs, and low lows. This isn't a "design flaw" but rather how #God made a #woman to be in touch with the needs of small #children.
Nothing is more short-sighted as a #man than viewing a #woman as an "overly emotional" or "flawed" version of a man's thought process or #emotions. A woman that does not let her emotions out will become very #passiveaggressive, #depressed or #angry. Your job is to be an #outlet.
