Once the GOP normalizes rape and sexual abuse of children, this is next.
And if you think this is hyperbole, you're wrong. This is their playbook. Dehumanize women. Completely.
Russia decriminalized domestic violence. What happened next is wrenching usat.ly/2m3kkjJ
This is the mob. This is what they do.
They profit off the destruction of law-based society.
And edit the below tweet to add: Trafficking of women, men, and children. Because they don't just traffic women & girls. They traffic men & boys too.
The mob is being dismantled. But we need to keep fighting against them.
Backpage takedown was a BIG FUCKING STEP in the fight against the #GlobalRapeTrade.
Some sex workers, who are sex workers by choice/are not coerced into the industry, were upset by the Backpage takedown bec of its impact on their industry.
For the record:
But Backpage was AIDING in sex crimes by "sanitizing" ads for underage trafficking victims-ie removing details that made it clear the victims were underage, but still posting the ads on their site.
And the concern of the sex workers who were upset by the takedown was weaponized.
And turned into a disinfo op. Perfect fodder for the horseshoe.
First two: LEFT TIP of the horseshoe.
Second two: RIGHT TIP of the horseshoe (note the way HotAir treats Ms. Blasey Ford in sidebar)

here's how I imagine the strategy meeting went:
PR1: "SHIT THE ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT WE GOTTA DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT!"
PR2: "LET'S THROW SOME ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME CHUM INTO THE WATERS OF THE LEFT SO THEY DON'T FOCUS ON THE RUSSIAN MOB INFILTRATION OF OUR GOV'T!"
Buh Lou what are you taaallking about?
The Hill lets people who are REGISTERED (and unregistered) FOREIGN AGENTS PUBLISH PROPAGANDA IN THEIR OUTLET. Do you think they have any ethical standards? That'd be a big fat NO.
PS. google "the hill" + "Wilbur Ross"
ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT.

Headlines matter. @nytimes: SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.
Bauman is an advocate for offshoring money to avoid taxes.
SO WE ARE CLEAR:
Tax avoidance is why our infrastructure is crumbling. Tax avoidance is a form of greed. Tax avoidance is unpatriotic. Tax avoidance is what's gonna get alllllllll the bad guys. #FATCAgonnagetcha
Bauman's wife Carol Dawson (their marriage was annulled in 1983), and he were deeply involved with Young Americans for Freedom, aka YAF, and the American Conservatives Union, aka ACU. washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
Brett Kavanaugh 2015 financial disclosure report contains the following:
"Trip to Arizona Cardinals-Detroit Lions football game in Detroit with group of friends from Georgetown Prep high school class of 1983, hosted by high school classmate Michael Bidwilll, President of...
...Arizona Cardinals. October 10-11, 2015. Paid $500 to reimburse for flights and game ticket."
The game was at 4:05PM on October 11th. Ended 7:20PM.
No mention of where Kavanaugh stayed, who paid for his stay, or if he stayed with a friend. No mention of who paid for food/BEER.
Let's go through the Dutch Ministry of Defense's presentation on the indictment of GRU officers today. Purple = my imaginary commentary of the officers who put this presentation together. (AND REMEMBER: I'm A HOUSEWIFE not a SPY)
