The deal they cut for him is beyond belief for the reasons Matt points out. don't actually go to jail and immunity for your other crimes / co conspirators, even though we don't know who or what they are?

That's a deal a bad script writer would come up with, not one a prosecutor agrees to in a case of chronic repeated sexual abuse of minors. Believing that there's more to the story isn't a conspiracy, it's the only loving rational inference available

Every now and then you'll get something like Inebriated History of the Role Playing Games episodes, but they're usually just like the free episodes

The plea deal also violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by not making the victims/their lawyers aware of the deal until after it had been signed. I watched this video of a lawyer breaking down how hosed up and unusual it is.

The icing on the cake is that they really think policies like that will get a wave of soft Republicans to cross the aisle and thank them for being so pragmatic. If you scroll through the comments, it's just a mix of people dunking on Kamala's team and the usual pundits yelling "but how will we pay for that!" With the added bonus of some yelling about anti-white racism.

Until the Epstein case I didn't know this was even possible under American law. How do preemptively grant immunity to people you haven't identified? For child sex trafficking?

if you've had the privilege of interacting with mr. dilbert on twitter (as i have on multiple occasions) he seems completely unaware of how he comes across or how bad his arguments are. i mostly shat on him for his stupid defense of trump's "fine people comment that he kept humping everywhere. and despite me being a twitter nobody he'd reply to my quote tweets every time.

never trumpers were against trump during the primaries due to optics reasons but when it comes down to it, ghouls like dersh are content with anyone that doesn't challenge their status as 1%er sex criminals. none of them will ever explain why they came around on him because it would mean a: admitting to once holding an incorrect opinion and b: explicitly spelling out how horrific their beliefs are

Let's look at that New Yorker article and see if we can find any clues as to why Dershowitz would be a fan of Donald Trump

In April, 1991, Mary Joe Frug, a professor at New England Law, was murdered by a knife-wielding assailant near her house, in Cambridge. The following March, the Harvard Law Review published an article that she had been working on when she was killed, “A Postmodern Feminist Legal Manifesto,” which examined how law perpetuated the subjugation of women.

On the anniversary of Frug’s murder, the Harvard Revue, a spoof overseen by editors of the Review, published a parody, “He-Manifesto of Post-Mortem Legal Feminism.” The author, “Mary Doe,” was described as the “Rigor-Mortis Professor of Law.” The commentary, written in the first person, “was pieced together from scraps dictated to Eve XX, a telekinetic feminist, from beyond the grave.” The Review held its gala banquet that night, and left copies of the Revue on guests’ plates.

Liberal professors at the law school were outraged. Laurence Tribe likened the students who had written the spoof to Klansmen. He and David Kennedy signed a letter, along with a dozen other professors, decrying the law school’s atmosphere of “sexism and misogyny.” The students apologized, but the furor did not die down. In a column for the Los Angeles Times, titled “Harvard Witch Hunt Burns the Incorrect at the Stake,” Dershowitz acknowledged that the parody was “somewhat” offensive, but argued that the response indicated a systemic problem. “The overreaction to the spoof is a reflection of the power of women and blacks to define the content of what is politically correct and incorrect on college and law school campuses,” he wrote. “Radical feminists can accuse all men of being rapists, and radical African-Americans can accuse all whites of being racists, without fear of discipline or rebuke.”

Groovelord Neato

quote:

Dershowitz describes his early life as an ideal preparation for conflict. He grew up in an Orthodox Jewish household in Borough Park, Brooklyn, and has written that he often got into fights with Italian kids in the neighborhood, “though I don’t recall getting anything worse than a few deep cuts, several broken teeth, and one concussion.” (His mother, Claire Dershowitz, disputed this account, telling the Washington Post, “The only time his tooth was knocked out was when he played tennis.”)

dersh called the cops because someone was mean to him lmao:

quote:

On campus, Dershowitz was controversial for his increasingly hawkish views on Israel. At times, Epstein lent support against political enemies. In January, 2007, the evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers learned that he was to receive the prestigious Crafoord Prize in Biosciences, and Martin Nowak invited him to celebrate the occasion with a talk at the center that Epstein had funded, followed by a reception. That April, Trivers sent Dershowitz a letter criticizing his “rationalization of Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians” the summer before, during Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah. If Dershowitz persisted in this kind of argument, he wrote, he could “look forward to a visit from me. Nazis—and nazi-like apologists such as yourself—need to be confronted directly.” Dershowitz called the Harvard police, and, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, complained that “radical goons” had sent him “threatening messages.”

On May 25th, the day of the party, Trivers was chatting with students when he got an urgent message from Nowak: he was cancelling the party, under orders from someone he would not identify, because Trivers had “called a Harvard professor a Nazi.” (Nowak did not respond to requests for comment.) Trivers told me, “I had invited twenty people—there was no way to contact all of them. It was the most painful thing that had happened to me in academia.” Trivers said that Epstein later acknowledged that he had made the call: “He apologized for having stopped my talk. So that actually formed a bond between Jeffrey and me.”
