Thanks to the fuck up of Bruce Castor, who went on to be Trump’s lawyer for his second impeachment, and his cousin acted on council for Trump’s first impeachment. Like some human skin wearing sewer rat king, they’re all connected.
In the past it might have taken some investigative work to figure out whether the newly appointed Dean of fine arts at Howard University would support sexual assault victims over friends.
When confronted instead of realizing her mistake and handing it off to her PR team, she decided a good ol, “I’m sorry you were offended” response was a smart move.
And of course it’s not just her and not just the Cosby case, time and time again celebrities seem to think saying their dumb thoughts on twitter is a good idea, and then double down when called out.

"Due process requires that those with litigation claims have reasonable opportunity to be heard," argued DOJ attorney Paul Schwartzberg during the trial.
But attorneys for Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers argued that without this deal there would be legal chaos as thousands of individuals lawsuits move forward against the company and members of the family.
I'm not an attorney, but how the fuck is "we fucked over so many people that it would be chaos if they seek justice" a legal defense?
Welcome to the wild and wacky world of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, where a "fresh start" and the God-given right to do business while stiffing one's actual and potential creditors trumps absolutely goddamn everything.

The display of these kinds of attitudes went beyond words, though; they were also shown in actions. Hope Witsell was punished severely for taking the photograph. She was grounded for the summer. She was suspended from the first week of school. She lost her position as student adviser. And when another boy coerced her into sending another photograph, and she complied out of fear, she was again treated as a culprit rather than a victim
[...]
As for the boys who demanded the second photo, the girl who originally forwarded the first photo, the girls and boys who harassed Hope in the hallways, chased her, taunted her, and made her life a living hell … there is not a single word indicating that they faced any consequences for their actions.
Two minutes is not enough time for the hate

Oh sweet innocent child. It's precious when anyone still thinks the courts and the laws are about justice.
