I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
@HunterBiden Thanks for sharing this and being real. This world is ugly right now and we need more people to speak our truths and find unity. You’re so right … it starts with discussions and actively listening to one another. We don’t have to agree but we can find common ground ❤️
⚠️ Shocking
In 1994, South Africa, 27-year old Alison Botha was abducted at knifepoint outside her apartment by two men, Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger.
They drove her to a remote area where they raped, disembowelled, and suffocated her.
In an attempt to ensure her death, they slashed her throat 17 times, nearly decapitating her.
But Alison refused to die.
In total darkness, she held her exposed intestines with one hand and held her head upright to keep her severed windpipe together with the other.
She then crawled inch by inch to a nearby road, where she was rescued by a passerby.
Against all medical odds, Alison survived.
Her precise memory allowing police to arrest her attackers, who were sentenced to life in prison.
Alison went on to become a bestselling author and motivational speaker, inspiring millions with her story of resilience.
Stephen Colbert dice adiós a CBS, la cadena que le echa por criticar a Trump, tirando los muebles de su oficina desde la terraza en compañía de su antecesor en el late night, el gran David Letterman. “Fuck you, motherfuckers”.
In 1995, 15-year-old Nicole van den Hurk was raped & murdered on her way to school in the Netherlands.
The case went cold for 16 years.
Then, suddenly, her stepbrother Andy confessed on Facebook: “I killed my little sister”
Police arrested him… but all was not as it seemed. It was, in fact, a deliberate false confession.
Andy’s plan? Force them to exhume Nicole’s body for modern DNA testing.
The insane gamble worked.
In 2014, the real killer, a man with prior rape convictions, was caught & sentenced to 12 years.
