I don’t think he will be confirmed. This is my lean right now. I certainly think the GOP WANTS to, but I think it will stop before it gets to that point. Hope I am right, but I am prepared to protest if not. 

Yep, Trump is already teeing up that exact argument. 

They want Debbie to testify because the thing she is accusing him of isn’t a big deal to them. Even though he has categorically denied it, they will go on TV and say it’s no big deal, it’s boys being boys, etc. And while I do think boys can do something like that in college and then grow up to respect women and look…

While this was my initial worry with him, having seen his tactics effectively play out, his media releases are designed to have maximum impact both in the news and to Trump. It absolutely does feel like a reality TV show, but that’s where we are. The republicans are guilty of spreading massive amounts of…

Has anyone else seen the ads specifically criticizing the allegation Dr. Blasey Ford made? There seems to be a NEW Kavanaugh ad that mentions he was vetted by the FBI 4x for his current appointment. Just saw it a few minutes ago. Guess they’re doubling down on this cumbag. If this fucker somehow gets on the SC (which,…

I love Avenatti and while he can be brash and egotistical, he has hit Trump the hardest of anyone so far. He deserves a shit ton of credit. Stormy too.

Yes, he has great energy! He isn’t the best actor or impressionist, but he is consistent and he always brings a funny energy to a sketch even if it isn’t very good which is actually a really really hard skill. 

The NYT has framed this story as if Rosenstein did something shocking and wrong, when the reality is we should be asking why on earth was the deputy AG so concerned about Trump that he mentioned 25 and a wiretap? They have handed Trump a reason to fire Rosenstein (legitimate or not) in the court of public opinion.…

When is Sessions going to find his balls and turn on this piece of shit? I hope to God he is taking these whippings because he has already turned and is gathering evidence against the Trumps.

The reason the dems want the FBI to investigate is because there is more to this that they want to get out, it may be more victims who are afraid to come forward (rightfully), or it may be related to another cover up of sexual assault/harassment. An FBI investigation on a 30 year old attempted rape will go absolutely…

Same way you sign a letter in support of a judicial nominee accused of attempted rape even when you don’t know if it’s fucking true.

I wish I could send my support to her in some way, this is going to be tough, but sane women everywhere understand and appreciate the incredible sacrifice she is making. One tiny silver lining of this whole thing is I think a lot of people who weren’t taught about Anita Hill learned a lot more about her bravery and con…

Others have already made great points about how obvious it is Woody groomed her, so I just want to recommend a movie on HBO called “The Tale”. It does an absolutely amazing job of showing you exactly what grooming looks like in action and how insidiously effective it can be. Highly recommend for any parents or anyone…

I very much agree with you. This isn’t something that is easy to navigate for executives, but we as consumers do have some power here.

It is absolutely crazy to me that TV (shows, not the news) has now become something that is dictated by politics. The fact that they want to move more into “Red state programming” is fucking terrifying when you start to think about what that means. What defines red states at this point, apart from the anti-women and…

Totally Kellyanne with multiple desired outcomes. I think she cooked this up to distract from the Woodard book and also to give herself somewhat of an out later on when this really goes South.

I think what Kim is doing is great and that this particular approach is best for her. Kim generates an obscene amount of attention—eclipsed only by the amount of focus Trump gets. Putting them together means each meeting and the subsequent outcome is covered extensively in the media driving fruitful discussions about…

Peacocks? But the women are the colorful/painted ones because they’re the ones seeking so much attention and also, all the makeup.

I honestly wish we still had a society where we could be critical of her. There are issues here (ignorant populism in the vein of Bernie). But from the limited amount of information I have of her, I would take her over any republican in congress and anyone in the White House. I actually also think it’s ok that she’s…

It seems like the lie machine is running out of steam. Before, while they were consistently and obviously lying, there was at least a hint of believability in their statements. Like I could see why an idiot would believe it. But these...  “I meant to say “wouldn’t not would” and “Just because someone is a redhead…
