yeah, really feels like people aren't reading the article ...
I honestly don't care anymore. If there is the slightest hint of a connection between right wing freaks and Epstein, I'm just going to assume they fuck kids. I see no reason to give them the benefit of any doubt.
Rowling didn't even invite Epstein and wasn't even in the email chain, we have no evidence they've corresponded, let alone that she visited his island or fucks kids - I get not having good feelings towards a villain like Rowling, but I think you're engaging in poor reasoning
I am making an affirmative decision to engage in poor reasoning in a specific circumstance. It seems to work well enough strategically for the right, including Rowling, so I figure I'll try it out.
When we abhor the immoral actions of an evil person, we do not usually think their immoral actions give us moral license to engage in immoral behavior.
This is childish and indefensible, and I think you know that - so what's the point here? You're wasting my time, I'm not interested in talking to you further.
Your scolding was entirely unexpected. Really.
I'm not interested in being "the good guy" anymore. I've seen too many Ned Starks. This is a war, and I think it's you acting like a child. Trump went low and Hillary went high, and look where that got us. I've got sand in my pocket and I'm not afraid to use it.
"Hillary went high" lmfao
In her own Democratic establishment way anyways. Just in case you are unaware, I was referring to a Hillary quote, "when they go low, we go high".
Oh yeah I remember, that and the "Deplorables" comment which should show you how committed she was to, "going high"
If the deplorables comment was the second biggest misstep of her campaign, backing down from it was the biggest. The comment was valid in it's full context, even though it was politically tone-deaf. A large chunk of Trump supporters really are deplorable. Backing down or "going high" is what made it into such a massive vulnerability.
As an aside, Democrats have a lot to answer for in how we got to a culture that generates so many deplorable people.
