This explains so much. It isn't just this particular case, either, it is just that in this case the juxtaposition of the "No means yes" political method with the issue of a nominee being credibly accused of a pattern of sex assault throws the similarities into sharp relief. It probably also explains why I have been such a brain fart lately. (I had to stop and go look up what the Kavanaugh thing is - It's a Hearing - because I couldn't remember the word. Then I brought that word back here to see I didn't even need it. Gaaah! At least I am getting clues about why I am having this sort of problem, allegedly. Perhaps I am not sliding into dementia, after all.

They'll blame it on the democrats. If they cannot think of a reason to do so, all they have to do is turn on Fox.

He gets me every time. I can't stop hoping he'll be reasonable... and his teasers upset me greatly.

Charlie Pierce gave him hell today. https://www.esquire.com/new...

My problem is I keep thinking brains, education, and ethics will have a predictable result. I must accept that's just his brand.

Nope. They are true believers and facts will never sway them.

I love it when a rube calls me gay. Must mean I'm doing something right.

I would hope so. A co-worker and I were talking about how GOP policies have not yet affected the base (cutting Medicare, SS, TANF, SNAP, etc.). I live in a red county in a blue state; 59% of whom are dependent upon some type of government program. I predict that the enthusiastic Trump supporting gloaters of today will become the betrayed rubes of tomorrow when the cuts hit them personally. I'll be enjoying a little schadenfreude then.

OMG. Hilarious! Thanks for the cheer up. I'm feeling absolutely wretched over the latest fascist coup.

The OP is a co-dependent for Kavanaugh.
