I’d love to be able to affirm that notion, but I really dislike visiting ANY public bathroom and attempt to hold it til I get home….(which has become a lot harder to do as I age. 😳)

That parade has always been amazing… people bring their families from all over the city. Just a lot of fun.

Can you imagine if this is your daughter? Your wife? Your granddaughter? Is there any woman in your family that this happening would change your mind ? …..Make you realize that this is NOT “God’s will”???

He’s been saying it for four years, so has been laying that groundwork. But now he has legislative outcomes in many states over the past two or three years that have put people in place to do what they weren’t able to do in 2020. I have a feeling that Biff’s previous statement that Trump was going to win The presidency probably doesn’t (even for him) Have anything to do with Trump actually winning the popular vote, nor the electors, but more to do with he will be put into the presidency by the courts.

That’s beyond appalling. It gives me such a pit in my stomach. The children watching the parade probably had questions for their laughing parents. What a wonderful lesson that gave them. This is nauseating and so wrong.

I think the only thing I can say with some certainty is that the voting numbers are, for sure, Going to be higher than they were in 2020. Some part of me says substantially higher. And, my gut feeling is just that this plays better for the Harris side of the equation. We’ll see.

That damn World Series has totally screwed up my already horrible sleep routine. (and it doesn’t really have a whole lot to do with my team the Yankees losing. First of all they played like **** and did not deserve to win. The Dodgers were the better team. And this last game was a comedy of almost ridiculous number of errors, that strangely enough had me letting go in my head of any delusions of winning, so by game 5’s end, I was actually ready to erase it from my existence. The only player I actually actually feel sorry for is Garritt Cole. He didn’t deserve that debacle on the fifth inning. But, it is what it is. This is the team they’ve been all year. When they’re good they’re very good and when they’re bad they’re horrid. And boring. Did I mention boring? That’s the biggest sin of all.) so anyway, here it is 2:20 in the morning, yesterday was closer to 330 in the morning, and bond day was also 3:30 in the morning. That’s when I only begin to feel drowsy. Sometimes I stay in bed, sometimes I get up and watch TV, sometimes I get a book to read, sometimes I argue with my cat.( He really hates that.) I could get up and do laundry now I suppose, there’s at least three loads waiting for me. Nah….. I don’t want to do that. Something inherently wrong with doing laundry in the middle of the night. Feels like the opening scene of either murder mystery or a horror story. Anyway, chances are it’ll probably be a week before I can straighten out this particular pattern of sleep and revert to a better one anyway. I strangely find that if I put on a podcast of “my favorite murders- the mini episodes “, that sometimes act like a magic spell. maybe I need to find one to try in about an hour. For sure, I’m not tired at all now. Maybe Wordle. & the other games can jump-start the tiredness. I think i Might be losing my mind.

Thankfully, no one in my immediate family…. There seems to be at least one in-law relative that drank GALLONS of the Kool-Aid. And, now I have come across some acquaintances, not really “friends”, but were people that I’d definitely had partied &/or worked with… they’ve gone down the rabbit hole. It’s sad to me. I am sure this is a game-changer for me going forward.

I just can’t take anymore from this pig.

It’s the national indifference to these deaths that both infuriates me, breaks my heart, and scares the daylights out of me. Do people think that they’re “safe” if they live in a state that hasn’t quite arrived at this extreme … yet? It is coming. You might say “no, it’ll never happen here”, but that’s just turning a blind eye to what is very obviously going to happen . Can’t you see this truth???

I said it initially many years ago, welcome to “the handmaid‘s tale”. Praise be.

All true, and again points to the obvious mindset that woman have been relegated to the back of the bus. Our health, AGAIN, isn’t worth ****.

I’m so angry. Of course this is going to be the end result… and mother mortality too.

😂. Omg. Idiotic. 😂

Oh, man…. Yes. quote: ”It’s a situation analogous to what we saw in Russia in the early 2000s: We are witnessing the surrender of the American business community to Donald Trump.” Spot on.

My original response to you merely asked if you would even just CONSIDER if it could be true…. you know, immediately after you decided that the Blasey Ford accusation was just some more lying woman nonsense. …. But, now I can see that , in no case , are you likely to ever give the “she could possibly be telling the truth” thought any consideration. (copied & pasted from a previous page) ============================== Ever entertain the possibility that the accusations could be true? That there’s a life-long pattern? ====================================== And now, I really am done with any further responses from me in this discussion.

No, this is me. I brought it up. I brought it up when I saw a situation where another woman is just automatically thought to be lying or have other motivations because she didn’t bring it up 30 years ago. this is on Me.

and I will tell you that as a woman, I didn’t say a word about a sexual assault that happened to me until 50 years after it happened. edited to delete my second paragraph, and to say, the hell with this. Sexual assaults happen. Sometimes with witnesses, more often without… and because you know that the pushback and ridicule you encounter if you dare bring it up, often you just bury it in your own mind.

Excuse me, …… but are you under the impression that Blazey Ford’s testimony was declared to be a lie? Why? Because Kavanaugh was affirmed? lol. yeah, okay.

The original story was that another woman stepped forward to make a claim of a sexual assault back in the day. You can just out of hand decide that she must be lying, or you can take Trump‘s prior history into account, and at least put forward the possibility that this woman is telling the truth. But somehow, we MUsT assume because she hasn’t come forward all these years, the ONLy possible conclusion to make is that she has to be lying. That’s a pretty incredibly black & white world some must live in.

So then, since most sexual assaults, rape, etc., are not done with any witnesses, if they don’t leave any DNA residue behind there can never be a guilty verdict? because an eyewitness, meaning the victim themselves, can positively ID the person, this can never meet the burden of proof? do you honestly believe that?

I believe he thinks if it’s not witnessed or corroborated, then we must assume it never happened. 🙂 … because, you know, proof. ** (** every woman knows what this feels like. Our word means nothing)

Totally agree.

Ever entertain the possibility that the accusations could be true? That there’s a life-long pattern?
