The trends that I’ve been seeing have me even more alarmed than I ever have been before. As a whole, as a country, as an electorate, we have gone from being the United Fucking States of Fucking Stupid to being the United Fucking States of Even Fucking Stupider. […]
This story makes it clear that as sexual arousal increases, empathy decreases making sexual assault all the more likely as situations are more ambiguous or when someone changes her mind. It is a cautionary tale for men. A call to examine for each man to examine his past and present to help ensure that #TimesUp means that time is really up.
The brain is easy to fool. Seeing is believing after all. Even knowing these photos are fake helps prime the brain for believing that they are true. But, they’re interesting anyway.
After 30 years reporting on the Ol’ Pussy Grabber’s lies, gossip columnist, Susan Mulcahy, dishes on experience with all the lies, lies, lies! However, she gets one little thing wrong. He doesn’t lie because he was trained to be a pathological liar, for the real reason, have a quick read of my introduction to her article. Then tell me what you think in the comments!
I am convinced it is ALL MEN who are sexual predators. This article really demonstrates that every man has power over some woman, and once it is there, if other conditions are right, will use it for his own sexual gratification.
While it lacks the snarky, sarcasticky, and profaney extras that it would have had had I wrote it, it is still worth reading for its information and its thoughtfulness: how the fuck did we get here?
It’s an open secret that the modern Repube party is the home of angry white identity politics, but no where is that clearer than in this quote from an angry white guy explaining why he’ll continue to roll coal.
So many powerful men in industries are being accused of sexual assault, harassment, and impropriety AND they are suffering consequences because of it.

A guy goes out of his way to take an upskirt photo of a celeb, and it is a wardrobe malfunction and we don’t learn his name! He’s committed sexual assault with his fucking camera, he keeps his anonymity and his job and his future. Rape Culture right there.
Since 1964, the GOP has been about one thing and one thing only: white supremacy. It is as true as the Civil War was fought over slavery. People will argue with you, but that’s all they got. Nixon’s Southern Strategy has been used by every GOP candidate since. Reagan kicked off his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi for god’s sake. Recharge those righteous indignation batteries to continue the #Resistance!
Narcissists believe that rules don’t apply to them, so the Ol’ Pussy Grabber violates one of America’s most highly regarded taboos with reckless aplomb. Will he pay the price or are we too far gone?
Psychic numbing describes the apathy people feel when confronted by millions of people suffering. The singularity effect explains why people will donate because one person is suffering. Strange but true. We can use this to our advantage if we understand it.

Reblogging a post from over to the Wonkette! It’s a good ‘un! About how twisted round the GOP’s reasoning is on the history of Supreme Court nominees. Gawd if the truth ever fell outa Bubbe’s bra, they’d be caught staring at her cleavage!
We fear terrorist attacks more than we do guns, but guns kill more people per year than terrorist attacks. Because terrorist attacks stand out in our mind, it makes those memories easier to access, and the population easier for ruthless politicians to exploit.
It’s my blog, and I’ll publish off topic stuff if I want to, and the Oxford comma is one of my things, so I’m publishing this, so there. Also, too, another thing I have is ambiguity.
