HOUSTON, August 23, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Rising baritone singer Samuel Schultz has accused a prominent homosexual couple whose “marriage” was officiated by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of drugging and violently raping him in 2010, the New York Daily News reports.
That year, as a 23-year-old graduate student at Rice University, Schultz says he met opera countertenor David Daniels and conductor Scott Walters at a closing night party for Houston Grand Opera’s run of “Xerxes.” According to his complaint, they invited him back to the apartment they were staying in for drinks, where he blacked out after just a couple sips.
Schultz says he awakened the next day “in a bed alone, completely naked,” inexplicably sore, and “bleeding from my rectum.” Daniels and Walters were not there when he woke up, but when they returned, they asked if he “had a good time” and Daniels allegedly said “‘Don’t worry about the BB thing, I’m totally negative.’ BB in this case meant bareback, otherwise known as raping me without a condom.”
Schultz admits he did not seek an examination until after physical evidence of rape would have disappeared, but friend Megan Gale (then a Rice University music department employee) and an unnamed therapist both confirmed to the paper he confided in them about the alleged incident at the time, including sharing specific details.
...
One of the Supreme Court’s most liberal justices, Ginsburg performed Daniels and Walters’ “wedding” in 2014 with much media hype.
"How do you make marriage equality more special? Have one of the most powerful liberals in all the land officiate the ceremony. That’s how gay Atlanta’s David Daniels and Scott Walters topped your gay wedding," reported Project Q Atlanta in 2014.
Ginsburg did the same for several homosexual couples in the years before the court mandated that all fifty states recognize same-sex “marriage,” leading many lawmakers, religious leaders, and pundits to demand that she recuse herself from the case for pre-signaling her personal view on the subject.
She refused to bow out, however, and Obergefell v. Hodges declared a constitutional right to same-sex “marriage” 5-4 in 2015. A 4-4 tie would have allowed the lower court ruling in the case to stand (in this case a Sixth Circuit ruling that states did not have to recognize same-sex “marriages”), but would not have set a binding precedent for the rest of the country.

(I seriously think you're stretching on this one, Brain.)

Supporters of President Donald Trump have taken to Twitter in droves over the past few weeks to complain about Trump’s tax plan. They’ve just figured out that the 2017 GOP tax cut means that many middle-class Americans have to pay more in taxes because the bill eliminated some deductions they previously used to lower their annual tax payments.
For example, the tax bill capped deductions for taxes paid to local and state governments, while drastically increasing the amount of money a person has to donate in order to qualify for a charitable giving deduction.
These Trump voters are not shy about letting their disappointment in the president and in the Republican party be known.

So I made the same amount of money this year as the year before. But they took $2000 less out federally across the year. We'll see if I owe $2000, I usually get a good amount back.

@Joe Perez the only reason the WP dug this up is because they decided she is not the chosen one and had to release it to make sure she dropped out before she even started her campaign.

Absent any evidence of this, I don't see how the underlying logic is any different from ultra-libs who, in 2016, were hysterically crying that if Trump were to be elected president, he would criminalize abortion and gay marriage, and start a nuclear war with North Korea, and otherwise do the bidding of Satan. Neither of those things, of course, appear to be on the President's agenda.
Or, in 2008, the ultra-right who were hysterically crying that if Obama were to be elected president, he'd ban and seize all of their guns and force everyone to be gay. And, of course, Obama signed only two major laws that address how guns are carried in America, both of which actually expanded the rights of gun owners. (And none mandating homosexuality.)
We live in an age in which it's become fashionable to project an extremist, binary, "us vs. them" image with regard to politics. Which inevitably leads to extremist doomsday prognostications of what the election of the "other" party might augur.
Brainey is just being trendy.
