Ruth Bader Ginsburg apologizes for criticizing Colin Kaepernick’s anthem protest

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has apologized for criticizing the national anthem protests by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other athletes.

…”Some of you have inquired about a book interview in which I was asked how I felt about Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players who refused to stand for the national anthem,” Ginsburg’s statement read. “Barely aware of the incident or its purpose, my comments were inappropriately dismissive and harsh. I should have declined to respond.”

Old Dominion student: 8-hour interrogation after campus rape 

 

Old Dominion student: 8-hour interrogation after campus rape – The Washington Post

Old Dominion might as well have raped this person themselves. I hope she kicks the school in court hard enough that the school is shaken to its foundations and worried about its continued existence. It’s too bad for other students but clearly nothing but harsh, harsh consequences is going to induce them to clean up their outrageous and (totally full of shit!) act.

After Nigerian First Lady Criticizes Her Husband, He Says She Belongs to His Kitchen 

[Buhari’s] wife said his government is being hijacked by outside players who are influencing him in the wrong direction. At 73, the president hasn’t yet decided if he’ll run for reelection in 2019. But if he does, there’s at least one person we now know he can’t count on for a vote.

“He is yet to tell me, but I have decided as his wife, that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before,” she said on Friday. “I will never do it again.”

Wrongfully convicted Brian Banks disgusted by Brock Turner ruling

“I would say it’s a case of privilege,” Banks said. “It seems like the judge based his decision on lifestyle. He’s lived such a good life and has never experienced anything serious in his life that would prepare him for prison. He was sheltered so much he wouldn’t be able to survive prison. What about the kid who has nothing, he struggles to eat, struggles to get a fair education? What about the kid who has no choice who he is born to and has drug-addicted parents or a non-parent household? Where is the consideration for them when they commit a crime?”

What useless little c*nt-rag waste of oxygen the Delta employee is.
How horrid! Her prejudice could have endangered the life of one of her passengers. Delta needs to not only ditch but the bitch but make a big ass example out of her so any other idiot bigots hiding among their employ know better than to act on how hateful and stupid they are in their tiny, trashy little minds.

A study of medieval rituals in same-sex unions raises a question – what were they solemnizing? 

If these words, taken from a manuscript preserved in the Vatican and dating from the year 1147, were for a bride and bridegroom, no one would find them startling: “Send down, most kind Lord, the grace of Thy Holy Spirit upon these Thy servants, whom Thou hast found worthy to be united not by nature but by faith and a holy spirit. Grant unto them Thy grace to love each other in joy without injury or hatred all the days of their lives.”

Tom Hanks on Trump

“He was at work, man. He wasn’t in a locker room. He was at work. He was showing up to do a thing on camera,” Hanks told the Press Association during an interview for his new movie. “Look… I’m offended as a man. I’m not offended as a husband or a father. I’m offended as a guy.”

Boko Haram released 21 of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls

The girls were handed over to the Nigerian government as part of a deal with the Red Cross.

….According to an April report by the Washington Post, Nigerians harbor intense skepticism toward the released prisoners, who are still largely referred to as “Boko Haram wives.” 

Their fear, according to the Post, is valid: Last year, 39 out of 89 Boko Haram suicide bombings were executed by women, some under the age of 18.

The escaped Boko Haram wives, many of who have had children with the militants and still profess love for their husbands, are seen as a group particularly likely to have been indoctrinated.

Read the New York Times’ response to Donald Trump’s lawyers 

Multiple women recounted being kissed and groped by Donald Trump without their consent in reports published Oct. 12, saying they came forward because the GOP presidential nominee dismissed his lewd comments caught on tape as “locker room talk,” not actual sexual aggression. Trump’s attorneys demanded a retraction from the New York Times, saying the paper’s article about two women’s claims is “reckless, defamatory and constitutes libel per se.”
