The #metoo election
1 Kavanaugh and abortion
2 all the Trump shit

He made it clear that childrearing is "women's work," and most definitely beneath him.

"I like kids. I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them," he told Howard Stern in 2005. "I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park.”

He said Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her wherever."When discussing Megyn Kelly's line of questioning during a 2015 presidential debate, Trump said in a CNN interview that Kelly had asked him "all sorts of ridiculous questions," "blood coming out of her eyes," and most absurdly, "blood coming out of her wherever."

Wonder if he'll debate me for 10Gs? I'll take any side of the argument for that amount of dosh.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

You have 10Gs to spare for an interview? :hehe:

I like a split government, helps keep the loonies in check. The House will vote articles of impeachment but the Senate won't convict. I predict much drama.

Yeah right. If you're counting on the young you're screwed. I predict big wins for Republicans. I think old people are both angrier and more capable.

--fingers crossed for Beto though!!! Oh man that'll make my day. :biggrin:

Yabbut Republicans gave me a small (temporary) tax cut, and they know that men have penises and women have vaginas, so I'm afraid Republicans have the edge. :prof:

New reports show that several thousand newly-registered voters in the state of Texas have been illegally purged from the state’s voting rolls, a move that will certainly benefit struggling incumbent Senator Ted Cruz. The state has seen a surge in new voter registrations, and that is never a good sign for Republicans, which helps explain the illegal purges. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

And that is exactly what’s happening in the state of Texas. It’s happening all over this country. It’s happening in Florida. It’s happening in Ohio. It’s happening in all kinds of states where there are very hotly contested elections were Democrats have the opportunity to take over once strongly held Republican seats in both the House and the Senate. The only way Republicans feel they can win is to cheat.

I recently did a 23andme test and found that, apparently, I have no 'Native American' genes - despite the fact that one of my maternal ancestors was Native American.

In fairness to 23andme, though, the tested populations for 'Native American' were all South American.
