Now when you say "large majority" i assume you mean way more than just a majority. Can you explain why that matters with regard to my charge of "weird"?


Educated women prefer Democrats by a 2/1 margin. That is a large majority in politics. If we got more demographically specific, such as "from the DC area" I'm sure we could run up those numbers a bit, but let's start there. If you assaulted two random educated women in the US, there's about a 40% chance both would be current Democrat voters if they vote. So, if a baseball player who was batting .400 gets a hit, would you think, "Weird. I didn't expect that. That's suspicious." Yes? No?

Just because a woman has trait X doesn't mean they were assaulted by someone who has a fetish for trait X. The implication here is the fact that they are registered Democrats shows partisan motivation in making allegations, i.e. lying for purposes of political attacks, but there's nothing out of the ordinary with women being Democrats. Do you think allegations about Republican figures are only credible if Republican women make them?

Truly absurd and stupid at the same time. How can you type so much, say so little, and miss all the points in just one post?

Supreme Court confirmations have been getting slower over time. It's actually amazing how cavalierly Supreme Court appointments were treated by political parties in the past. Republicans basically blew up all their major post-civil war civil rights accomplishments for generations because they accidentally appointed Supreme Court justices that kneecapped them.

That said, it pays to have your coalition own the government. It's one of those things that is a reminder of how stupid the "Trump voters still like Trump" coverage is. Hoover never lost his base either. How'd that work out? I'm not saying Trump is going to lead to a Hoover-like wipeout (though if the economy goes south at the right time, he might), but having a base of loyal voters isn't enough to prevent that from happening.

Anyone have a prospective date where this party took place? Note I can't fix the sizing, but you can probably play with the images if you want.

You misrepresented what EA wanted to bet, and he's responded and you're now talking to a guy who doesn't care either way. Why not respond to EA who offered the bet?

Yeah. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Republicans (including Republican women) generally don't care about women and actually have a measure of antipathy toward them.

"Republican women" seems to be turning into an oxymoron, though.

Man. It's pretty hard to imagine he's not a rapist now.

She signed a sworn declaration which opens her up to perjury. I'm certainly more likely to believe someone like that than someone who won't even talk to the FBI.


Avenatti's name makes me wretch, but he's had the goods before, so I can't discount it. When I first read this accusation, my thought was, "Oh god. I hope this isn't the looney claim that is used to unfairly discredit the other ones." Then after that, I thought "Why did she keep going to parties where people are getting drugged and raped?" Then I remembered my University days where people constantly went to parties at frats where it was well known that a whole hell of a lot of rape was happening and thought, "Oh, that's right." Then I lamented that people suck.

Kavanaugh has to be close to toast at this point.
