Republican try not to be a rapist challenge (impossible)
In California sometimes calling yourself a Democrat is the only way to have a chance in an election. Many are just conservatives in hiding and they have done a lot to prevent even more progressive policies.
Isn’t the state legislature something like 40% Republican?
“During the last occasion where plaintiff performed oral sex as demanded by Alvarado-Gil, Plaintiff suffered a back injury while performing in a car seat with his body having to twist and contort in the confined space of the car,” according to the lawsuit. “Plaintiff later went to the doctor and discovered that the injury was more severe, and that plaintiff had suffered three herniated discs in his back and a collapsed hip.”
Condit later underwent hip surgery for his injuries.
Heh heh. Heh. The jokes: they write themselves.
Because the victim was male? is that why it's funny?
I love the “almost immediately” part. There’s that brief moment in between where you stop and realize what you’ve done and the dread creeps in.
Thought I recognized the name. Chad Condit is the son of Gary Condit who was having an affair with his staffer, who was subsequently murdered.
Gary Condit was the Harambe for 9/11's 2016.
And if that makes sense, I apologize.
Gary Condit
A name I wouldn't have remembered if not for the Butters episode of South Park.
The LA Times writes that according to the lawsuit, the relationship between Condit and Alvarado-Gil began with the latter “grooming” the former by talking to him about her sex life, her divorces, her affairs, and her apparently regular consumption of ayahuasca and weed gummies. (emphasis mine)
Sounds like she knows how to party.

Damn. Getting injured giving head. I wouldn't want that.
