McConnell must really be afraid of the voter pushback on his schemes if he’s pretending protestors are paid to be seen and heard protesting.

Or, you could say that the voters who could not be bothered to vote in 2016 failed not only themselves but all the rest of us as well. Less than half of all registered voters made it to the polls in 2016, and many other people just don’t even bother to register. You want change? Vote.

There are now as many millennials as baby boomers in the potential voter demographics. The difference is that baby boomers vote, but less than half of all millennials bother to register and vote. You want change? Vote.

I’m old enough that I remember living in an America that had no legal abortion. In the 1970's and 1980's there were still lots of women in ob/gyn care that had gyn issues- like no periods because of heavy uterine scarring from an overly enthusiastic d & c. And those were the women who lived. The “pro-life” movement…

I’d like to remind everyone that the 2018 midterms are a month away. Check your voter registration and vote. In 2016, only 58% of all eligible voters bothered to vote. Millennials are equal in number to baby boomers in numbers- about 69 million- but less than half of all millennials vote.

Here’s my baked potato plan: Start with biggish, fresh Russets. You don’t want cute little fingerlings baby reds, or glorious Yukon Golds. You want Russetts. Scrub then a bit, dry them, and oil them. Fork them a few times- an intact Russet can explode. Oven on 400, put them in for an hour. Let them cool a bit, slice…

“It’s not that they aren’t believed, it’s that their words don’t matter. Their bodies don’t matter; neither does the pain inflicted on those bodies. Pain for women in the American political process is de rigueur, while a man facing consequences is an injustice.”

exactly. The point is to impress men.

I wouldn’t think he would be comparing women- or maybe it’s more accurate to say it wouldn’t matter if he was. I would feel like he’s one of those guys who hits on every woman at a party, using the same lines. Completely undiscriminating, and not reading social clues. I’ve seen guys do this, and the women at the…

I think his whole modus operandi is to sell guys on his “technique”, get them to buy his T shirts. He’s selling a fantasy, where treating all women the same (same words, same restaurant, negging) gets women to have sex with you.

I can feel empathy and compassion for Kellyanne Conway, who has experienced sexual abuse. I can do that without listening to a word she says about how other persons sexual abuse should or should not somehow, count.

Thank you.

That’s true, I saw it this morning. And yet his lie that 18 year olds could legally drink in Maryland at the time is widely reported, also. That lie is low hanging fruit.

Perjury- lying under oath- is still a crime. If the FBI catches one lie in Kavanaugh’s testimony, then he can face felony charges.

I’m pretty sure this means Flake is running for President in 2020. He’s laying track now.

This. There was no good outcome for the GOP once the “shitshow” started. Kavanaugh is the most unpopular Supreme Court nominee ever- and was nominated by the most unpopular President ever. Trump lives in a delusional bubble, but lots of members of the House and the Senate are up for reelection in just over a month. It…

And beer!

Dammit! They only sent me a resist/persist bumpersticker!

It almost seems like Kavanaugh might get belligerent and aggressive.

Yeah, but Klobuchar is a woman. Wait...you mean Brett Kavanaugh might have a problem with women? /s
