Here comes back up with the refocus assist. Replying to the tweet prior to the diversion - expert maneuvering, you can really see the experience on this play. Alright let’s slow it down. Recalibrate. This guy is dumb you got this.
A little well placed profanity. You had to do it. I applaud it I really do.

99.46% of US rapists get away with it. (0.54% are incarcerated).
Data varies, but various studies have showed as few as 2% and as many as 10% of reported assaults are false accusations. The most commonly cited rate is 3-5%
There's a couple of important points in play here /1
First, statistically, false accusations only occur if an accusation is made and documented, generally in the form of a police report.
But we also know that only 23% of rapes are reported, so the FA rate is a percentage of that number, not the total. (check study methodology) /2
So in a sample representing circumstances existing per every 1000 occurrences of rape, we know that appx 230 rapes are reported, and 2-10% of those reports contain a false accusation -- BUT, it's not 2-10% of 1000, its 2-10% of 230.
The right is going to gaslight you about Trump’s Proud Boys comment.
1) He misspoke 2) He was entrapped 3) You misunderstood 4) You are lying 5) You are delusional 6) You are delusional and defamatory
But this is important. Don’t let it go. Don’t normalize it. Say instead:
1) His reply was clear and in context 2) The question contained the correct response 3) No I did not 4) No I am not 5) I know what I heard, saw, and can easily re-hear and re-watch 6) A defamatory statement is a lie intended to damage character. Bad facts are not defamation.
Ye Olde, “It was just a joke”
1) Any reasonable person can see that he was not being sarcastic
2) Trump is literally never actually sarcastic, ever
3) Not at all an appropriate topic for sarcasm, and if he were, it would be condescending and dismissive
I mean, isn't he a reporter? he could have reported on the tapes instead of keeping them for his book - i.e. the medium most profitable to him - seven months and 190,000 lives later. He sat on information that the president was lying about a deadly public health risk.
Imagine you're a substitute teacher and the principal at one of your schools tells you he's just learned there is flesh eating bacteria growing in all the walls and ceilings, but he's going to tell everyone it's totally fine. Do you write a book? Or get the kids tf out of there?
Worth noting that this is the same Bob Woodward who, during the confirmation hearings, sat on a story that Kavanaugh had lied in a 1999 public letter, widely published, denying that he was an inside source during the Starr investigation. He was in fact, Woodward's inside source.
@unca_fa It may surprise you to learn, though I hope not, that I am, with rare exception, not opposed whatsoever to disagreement so long as it opens dialogue in good faith. My support for Harris is solidarity based, given the road ahead of her. I also read her record differently.
@unca_fa I think Harris is a good example of a woman who wants to create meaningful change and took the roles that put her on the path to access. She performed them in accordance with expectations, with notable exceptions, because that is necessary to travel that path successfully.
@unca_fa I have read perspectives of her performance as a DA and AG that are in line with yours, and I have also read about numerous examples that contradict that construction. I have found those more persuasive, though I dont expect to agree with every choice she has made or will make.
Healthcare, labor rights, and education are essential and worth fighting for. All benefit men and women - but because institutional sexism exists, change without a specific plan to address the disparity means better outcomes will benefit men more. That’s a feature, not a bug.
It’s a common refrain that because feminists demand policies that address sexism, their progressivism is fake or burdensome. The reality is that it’s not hard to make these adjustments, so when you say you’ll fix this thing first and then sexism after, we just don’t believe you.
Women and POC have spent at least the last 100 years being told that if we vote for policies that benefit everyone, our needs will be addressed too, but when things improve for us AND people who already have an advantage, the disparity widens - and it has.
