machine to keep the press from hearing what she said.

And she has re-written the book on how to call "PC" fouls to shut down legit criticism and derail discussion of issues.

Flight logs of Palm Beach billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet show attorney Alan Dershowitz flew on it at least four times.

Those logs are contained in nearly 200 pages of documents filed in a defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz in Broward County Circuit Court, as reported in Friday’s Palm Beach Daily News.

Attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, who represent some of Epstein’s underage victims, filed the lawsuit in January following Dershowitz’s media campaign against them. The Harvard law professor emeritus was fighting claims by their client — Virginia Roberts Giuffre — that she had sex with Dershowitz at the behest of Epstein when she was a minor.

Giuffre has filed two sworn statements, accusing Dershowitz of having sexual intercourse with her at least six times in various places, including Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion. Dershowitz has vigorously denied the allegations.

even when I'm in a crowd of like minded people.

I claim the same Rights that Wasserman-Shultz claims... if she can back republicans running against democrats, then I am also free to choose where my vote goes. Wherever my vote goes.

I can guarantee that my insisting on my personal control over choice for my personal franchise pisses off people who like DWS think they should have their choice and also control mine.

10. It's such an ultra stupid school yard trope 'I proudly stand with/ proudly stand against'. Vapid.

So you are standing against Sarah Silverman and Spike Lee? Proudly? Of course not, you have a difference of primary candidate choices. Extreme language serves no one. You proudly stand against Jeff Merkley? Are you going to primary him and support the Republican? Are you that much against? Sounds like it.

I'm with you on that!

I don't stand "against" people. I stand with them. I didn't start this stupid fucking thread.

And I'd proudly vote for Sanders if he gets the nod. And I stand with him and his supporters, too. We're Democrats fighting against the GOP.

I don't know why you came at me like I'm the one who said "against". I didn't. And wouldn't. Back up with that shit please and thank you.
