I’m just glad Hillary’s not president - she would be deleting her spam folder, like, every morning.

You know, I can’t wait until 2048 when democratic socialists win the democratic nomination. Of course by that point half the country will be literally underwater and we’ll have white and colored water fountains again, but the wait for ideological purity will have been worth it.

Who says Donald Trump has no sense of decency? He just issued a public apology over the Kavanaugh scandal.

Let me be the first to say I’m a proud citizen of that nation, and he’s certainly not speaking for me.

On PBS tonight they reported that Trump was asked what he had to say to the women who were devastated by the Kavanaugh hearings. His response: he didn’t think there were any such women.

The trumpists will automatically dismiss and denigrate anything at all connected to the United Nations.

I cannot agree with your assessment of the future. Oh, of course there will be water fountains for the Whites, but what makes you think there will be any for other races?

There have been no reports, no sightings. No one has seen nor heard of them! And yet, at this time, no missing person reports have been filed! \* Dunt-dun-DUN!\*

(Those are ominous, minor key chords. So, fake Orff!)

Trump said he didn’t think. You have to admit his story sounds credible.

The question is, what impact will this have on female voters in a mid-term election?

Going beyond that question, though, let’s not forget the significance of the Kavanaugh confirmation process: the raw exercise of power by the Republican party. A show of force by a small but powerful triumvirate of oligarchs, white nationalists, and Christian warriors - or a combination thereof. Trump needs the extremists to ensure his and his family’s survival, and the extremists need Trump to increase their legitimacy and grip on power. What the right wing has done is to demonstrate that they’ll do anything - anything - to maintain power. Remember that going into the elections. The Russians aren’t finished, and neither are they.

Early polls indicate that this is a winner for Republicans. Which is as strong an indictment of America as I’ve seen lately.

Exactly zero. The trumpist women parrot the misogynist accusations against not only Dr. Ford but also against Ms. Clinton. They easily forgive Trump (or dismiss them outright) for the horrible things he does, but will never forgive Ms. Clinton for things they accuse her of having done which she, in fact, has not done.

But in Trumpland, with their alternate facts and ignoring anything that might be different than the story running in their heads, that last fact matters not at all.

The StraightDope Pidgeon-hole Demographic Label Matrix:

```
                               Female ◯ Male ◯

                        Urban ◯ Educated ◯ Young ◯ 

                Democrat ◯ Married ◯ Independent ◯ Salaried ◯

         Hourly ◯ Anglo ◯ MiddleClass ◯ Mexican ◯ Black ◯

   Wealthy ◯ Illiterate ◯ Disabled ◯ Poor ◯ Straight ◯ Bi ◯ Rural ◯

```

Elderly ◯ Middle-Aged ◯ Gay ◯ Republican ◯ Single ◯ Handicapped ◯ White ◯

These labels on their face SHOULD hold no intrinsic value judgement. People are what they are from a terminology standpoint - just adjectives, based in fact. It’s so easy judging a specific trait in the context of some stupid argument, while at the same time overlooking the simple fact that everybody holds or claims a combination of at least 5 or more of these labels.

Trump is a wealthy, white, salaried, straight, middle-aged, republican male. He alo just happens to be a stupid, bastardly, lyin’ cunt. I sometimes wonder about the demographics of the stupid, bastardly lyin’ cunt crowd. Seems like a perceptual issue, because I never seem to hear much about the poor, black lesbian lyin’ cunts. I guess it’s just when they get into power the labels come out.

Wait. But, but, but isn’t he the one bemoaning the lack of “due process”? Guloramitey, what a piece of work he is. Which is really surprising since he evidently doesn’t know how anything, such as the government, finances, taxes, tariffs, diplomacy, works.
