I guess when it finally overlapped with her personal experience Anna Paulina Luna decided to have a conscience.

No argument from this US Citizen.

This made me feel good in a way that the news hasn't in a long time.

Meanwhile, Red State leadership:

They are determined to ensure a hung jury or nullification on a high profile case, aren't they?

My first reaction was "is that even legal?"

And then my second reaction was it doesn't really matter with Trump there:

I’d much rather have been wrong and laughed at later than to be right about what’s on the horizon.

Dude, I firmly believe that if we appear wrong later, it means that things happened openly or behind the scenes that stopped it, not that we were wrong.

I would sincerely like to see another post from you if/when you cross that line where even the die hards (or for that matter even the rank and file Rs) start to think something smells.

but they defend it, deflect, and try to gaslight.

This is a huge part of why I just don't engage. I can handle protracted, passionate disagreement. I can't handle deflections, false equivalences and gaslighting. I cannot deal with that kind of thing like a rational adult, and then I get accused of being angry due to disagreement when it's nothing of the sort.

That's a great point and much better thought out than my own! 💯

How awesome thank you!

Based on what we've seen so far, I really think they'll just use the men's criteria.

Ironically, when I was in I thought it was really unfair that the women could openly grow long hair and just tuck it under their cover and the men could not.

I'm ashamed to say that back then I took it as an example of women wanting special treatment, when I'm sure in retrospect that it was nothing of the sort.

Depending on topic, they are either OK with it, that I'm over reacting (they are only putting criminals in those camps), or believe any evidence not from the sources you might expect is fake.

And honestly, I don't push at all, because I'm going to change zero minds and I've got enough cortisol in my life already. I prefer to just pretend those people aren't in my circle when I can.
