(Slightly) off-topic: thank God that gif of Billy Bush sucking his finger and mouthing “I’m a bad boy” has gone from the carousel at the top of Jezebel’s front page. It was making my morning sickness about 8000% worse than it already is.

His Christmas card this year is literally just going to be a screen shot of that paragraph.

Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.

part of me is grateful that he is exactly how he appears to be.

What’s so striking about the Limbaugh quote is that he’s exactly correct, but he’s ranting against the concept of consent. WTF?

Yeah, like....I agree with everything he said. Consent *is* key. That is the magic word that makes a sex act go from “criminal” to “none my damn business.”

I mentioned this quote to an Irish friend of mine. Her response was, “Oh, kill one person in cold blood and here come the murder police!”

Yeah, how dare we liberals demand that all parties consent to sexual acts. And if 100 people want to engage in an orgy, they can have at it, as far as I am concerned, so long as everyone consents.

We crossed a threshold when Rush openly attacked Sandra Fluke. A young lady speaking about a friend’s insurance coverage became a “slut” because old white guys were going to end up “paying for her to have sex” with their tax dollars...

Hetero missionary within marriage and courtship groping: morally okay, even if nonconsensual. Anything outside that, even THINKING about anything outside that: morally wrong, even if all parties are super into it. -rightwing Jesusland thinking

I unfortunately think I do. He’s saying that the left is silly to get worked up over athletes raping unconcious women when the real problem is all those perverts out there consenting to sex in ways he doesn’t think are sexy. Five years ago he would have made it about gay men, but post-marriage equality he doesn’t…

I... I don’t understand what he’s griping about. Yes, consent is literally the “magic key” to the “left” and anyone else who knows what the fuck they’re talking about with rape/sexual assault. With consent, it isn’t rape. Without consent, it is.

I saw that elsewhere and was hoping it would be here. Apparently the bloated bloviator thinks that consent is somehow a liberal plot to undermine....well, I am not sure what it undermines except for rapey conservative men.

Also this seems like the bitter talk of a man who has tried to convince dozens of women to have a threesome with him, but never succeeded.

This was covered in a previous post on this family of blogs, but Rudy’s security firm is in the employment of the Trump Campaign. So Rudy is actually a paid spokesman for Trump at this point. I don’t know so much if it’s what he’s been promised in the future as it is how much he’s currently making for doing it.

I assume “Jesus” is an affordable Napa Valley Chardonnay.

It could have been, but it wasn’t. My feeling is that even rote, cutesy questions about motherhood take on a fresher, more revealing meaning for lesbian couples, who’ve been (and still are, in so many places) legally and socially excluded from co-parenting for so long.

As trying as being a parent can be at times, it really is great getting to re-experience the world through new eyes and watching the wonder in their faces as their little minds figure out the world.
