Shit! Bill Cosby is free after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his conviction. I've read the legal explanation on Wonkette about why they ruled this way, but it's still devastating to rape survivors. Can the prosecutors correct the problem somehow and try him again based on evidence from someone who didn't testify at the tainted trial? Even worse, Phylicia Rashad was sickeningly happy about his release; I've often wondered why people didn't rebuke her more after #MeToo for defending Cosby. She still somehow thinks he's innocent. Fuck.
Anyway, the worst stuff that I expected to happen today was Trump meeting Abbott in Texas for more whining about the border wall. Abbott has scheduled the special session for July 8th, but I don't know how he can do that when he just defunded the Texas Legislature? Fuck him. He's become so cartoon villainous that he even vetoed a bipartisan bill to protect dogs from being chained up outside in the Texas heat with no shelter or water. Apparently humane treatment of animals is "micromanaging" to him. Please, Beto, please fucking run against him.
