I know it's the worst kind of stereotype, but is not "Joe Tacopina" the most mob-lawyer-ly name ever? Where does he find these people?
The Montana state rep values her identity as an 18th century fundamentalist Christian more than she values the life of her own child. That tells me all I need to know about both the GOP and the depths to which fundamentalism has sunk. Jesus of the Gospels is ancient history to them. Republican Jesus will return armed and seeking revenge, and his followers, also armed, are prepared to follow him into literal battle against the infidels, who are everyone who does not believe as they believe.
E. Jean Carroll is magnificient in her handling of this trial! I hope from the bottom of my heart that she wins this case. It would be a WIN for so many other similarly abused women who suffer in silence...
Zooey Zephyr's story has also taught us how the GOP uses language very creatively:
"While seven people were arrested for trespassing, the boisterous demonstration was free of violence or damage. Yet later that day, a group of Republican lawmakers described it in darker tones, saying Zephyr’s actions were responsible for 'encouraging an insurrection'."

I’m stealing that line: Jesus of the Gospels is ancient history to them.

She has been a champ on the stand. I admire what she’s doing.

Way to project, GOP.
The Missoulas, Bloomingtons, Austins, Ashevilles, Atlantas, Miamis, etc. of this country are starting to look like West Berlin during the Cold War.
Ouch. But 100 percent indeed.
Hip hip hooray for the Amerikan Taliban party!
