Women felt empowered by #MeToo so instead of evolving and learning to respect boundaries bro culture surged and retaliated. Do I have this right? They couldn’t not rape, control and brutalize? Women lost reproductive rights within this Broligarchy. The real or perceived loss of control scared them.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

“Let Republicans have the literal blood of American citizens on their hands—and make that the central issue of the shutdown. Otherwise, enjoy having your health care subsidy debate in the gulags these people would happily send us all to. I hear that poll-tests great.”

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

If I got elected to Congress and my swearing in got indefinitely delayed by this cuck pedophile moron who watches porn with his son, I’d go completely apeshit. I don’t understand how anybody in Washington keeps it together.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants
