The floored looks of the rest of the table alone are worth the price of admission.

“When I was a kid, the great debate was about how to defeat the Soviet Union, and we won,” said Thiel, the founder of PayPal. “Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares?”

Rape victim put in jail after breakdown on witness stand
Suing them is a great first step. I hope she not only wins but the judgement ruins the lives of each and every one of them.
This type of abuse of the system is crime against society.
The prosecutor, the judged who signed off on this and any and all officers of the court who enabled this crime to be committed need to be fired and jailed for the rest of their natural lives.
Right the fuck now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
