Oh no right wing people are listening! The left is supposed to be an exclusive and utterly useless club of smug douchebags!

If the intent is to pretend the real story is all about "disinformation" and bigotry to distract from the fact a boy wearing a skirt raped a 14 year old girl, it was covered up by the school system to protect themselves in an election year (by random chance / pure coincidence the vote is tomorrow), allowing the predator to do it again at a different school, then yes, you are correct that is an journalistically acceptable way to describe child rape. Not sure other rape victims or the girl's parents are really on board though.

Yeah I should’ve read the article before I responded. At face value, I have no issue with that description that’s in the tweet, but I understand why the context is problematic

"If I was in a position where I was about to be raped, I would be screaming, kicking, everything," the mother said. "You're 15. You can reasonably defend yourself. You're not just going to sit there and take it. And so, because there wasn't a presence of a fight, he felt it was okay to keep going."


Nice job on trying to signal "attacking me is attacking BLM" with the patch there. Full interview here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -male.html

I was kinda curious how a 15 year old getting some would be so entitled as to demand anal and not take no for an answer, but now it makes sense.

I mean, too late now, but prior restraint seems possibly appropriate if it adversely affects the judicial system. Also, courts tend to be rather jealous of their priviledges.

Prior restraint to avoid embarassing the DOD =/= prior restraint to avoid irreperable harm to a plaintiff's (or defendahnt's*) right to private communication with their counsel.

I hate (and kind of love) how CNN pushes stories with headlines pretty much aimed at pissing Trump off:

"Trump's fury grows as DeSantis rises within GOP"
