    And remember - for conservatives, it’s always projection.

      No. No she’s not. But proving that, from a legal perspective, is… Challenging.

      I knew what she meant, but I could not for the life of me remember the actual slang phrase.

      Yes, but.

      Perjury is a serious crime that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s expensive and time consuming to make that kind of case. And a US attorney needs to decide to prosecute.

        Yeah right… I lost count of how many people, specially cops, continuously lie under oath and nobody does anything in the good old USA

    sigh

    Why do we still try to make women feel about their labia. Particularly bad that its coming from another woman. Loomer also knows about body issues given her plastic surgery.
