I can assure you, it was not the Republicans. The whistle-blowers this time are all registered Democrats.  Read more

I’m sure if Kirchgessner would step down, another Democrat would happily face off with O’Mara next month. Apparently, she isn’t going to step down.  Read more

That is exactly why.  Read more

Yeah, as someone who has seen some abusive shit from women, I hate that this is always what happens. This is also how the cops see an abusive situation when two women are involved. “Oh they’re just mean to each other.” Please. Abuse needs to be taken seriously when queer women are responsible for it. Read more

Hit the “Show Pending” button (which requires you to first hit “pending” sometimes). Read more

Is there a way to read “grey” posts without promoting them? There are times I’d like to see an un-moderated feed.

Yeah, I’m a little surprised (I shouldn’t be). Along with the questions of “Why is she coming forward now?” Read more

I don’t know what the “grey area” is. Violence is never, ever ok. Whenever someone is accused of domestic violence, the abuser (for want of a better word) tries to discredit the victim by saying that he/she was emotionally abusive. Which may be the case - but it DOES NOT make physical violence any more palatable,… Read more

Maybe she thought her wife would lose and she’d never have to face people like you throwing stones at her on the internet. Read more

As as someone close to the situation, this did not come out before the primary because no one thought she would win the primary. She is a waitress with an associate’s degree and no credible political experience. She was running against a county legislator who is also a lawyer and has experience. The accused's partner… Read more

Y’all are on some weird shit in this comment section today. If a man responds to his emotionally abusive wife with physical abuse, y’all would not be with this whole “abuse is never okay, but it seems like they were both being dysfunctional” bullshit. Read more

I don’t think it’s about success, it’s about power. I think it’s coming forward if the abuser is about to be in a position of POWER and about to have the ability to influence policy and laws. They can be as successful as they want, but once they start to have the ability to hurt/affect entire populations, victims may… Read more

Democrat or Republican, abuse is never acceptable. This transcends party lines and I believe and support Morgan. Read more

I wanna button or marquee that says “Dismiss, don’t assist”

Whoof. Hey everyone, just a heads up, there are some really awful takes in the greys on this post already, and likely to see a lot more flood in. Remember, don’t engage if you don’t want to promote their bullshit and use the dismiss button if people start trolling your posts. Read more

I think this is important. It’s also important the response. I have done things in the past that were really shitty and I have worked really hard on myself to prevent them from happening again. In my younger years I didn’t have the skills to deal with the pressure of life, the cycle of abuse, communication challenges,… Read more

Yeah, for me, the worst part about Kirchgessner’s response was this: Read more

I’m just saying, you send a weird message when your response to a situation you admit you don’t know much about is weigh in anyway voicing support for the accused abuser.

Her ex-wife didn’t come forward until this article, people didn’t know about it.
