Well that was a hell of a surprise.

So who had money on a weird combination of #Metoo and Qanoan theories about Hollywood human trafficking becoming a thing?

Rose McGowan is definitely correct about some things and likely correct about others. Biden has stopped #MeToo in its tracks.
Well, wouldn't say it was all him, there was a lot of opposition the whole way through. Am actually surprised that it lasted this long.

But yeah, he's got (or at least had) some scary fanboys getting in on the victim blaming cliches.

Just gotta say: the headline is about wasting money and McGowan’s accusation is about rape culture. Someone is burying the lead here

Also, is it time to consider how charities function? They don’t ever seem to be really good, Trump did a 75% split on his ‘legal charity’ in the last month, little going to the actual prosecution of the voter fraud cases and most going to a PAC

Basically, what happened is that Dwarvenhobble fell for a media distortion because it catered to his political predilictions and that thread ended in ignominy. Consequently now he's created this thread as a second bite of the cherry, bolstering it with the opinion of Rose McGowan despite the evidence demonstrating she fell for exactly the same distortion.

In other words, yawn.

No, I was right. What you mean is that you continued to disagree, and your unwillingness to admit you were wrong is a different sort of issue. I didn't say you backed out, I said the thread ended in ignominy, because the OP was a dead end. And it's a dead end here, too.

No you weren't. Most of the funding came from grants from other groups.

You can argue the purpose of the political arms of Timesup was just that and never to fund the legal cases but it's still suspect that the only part that was considered tax deductible donations was the to the political arm not the arm dealing with the actual court cases.

Yeah, and you evidently read that dead wrong too.

Nope. Timesup advocacy group is non profit. Timesup legal fund isn't.

The major difference is being tax deductible which encourages giving to one over the other.
