I have written various versions of this in my head for a coupla months now, and it just keeps getting truer and darker. And the testimony of Stormy Daniels yesterday really solidified my thinking.

I have written various versions of this in my head for a coupla months now, and it just keeps getting truer and darker. And the testimony of Stormy Daniels yesterday really solidified my thinking.
When you said the tale she told sounded kinda rapey, you weren’t wrong. The story – he talked to her, sent his bodyguard to ask her out to dinner, but she had to go to his hotel room first, he met her at the door in satin (I refuse to believe they were silk) pajamas (gag), she told him to get dressed, they talked for two hours about her work and what she wanted, she goes to the loo and emerges to find him Burt Reynolds-ing (cause it’s the 70s) on the bed (GAG), and he is between her and the door outside of which his bodyguard is standing, and says to her “This is the only way you’re getting out of the trailer park” and, for some god awful reason says that she reminds him of his daughter (unnamable guttural emission).
Also, he offered to help her CHEAT on The Apprentice, cause of course, CHEATING.
It wasn’t rape - it was a classic old fashioned “casting couch” scenario. “You want the role? How much?” It’s not rape, but it’s coercion. Paying for a job with sex. Shades of Weinstein and millions of male producers since Euripides.
The Trump sleaze might have been baked in with the Access Hollywood tape in 2017 or even 2018. But he did lose the popular vote in 2016 and lost all the votes in 2020. And that was before Dobbs and the E. Jean Carroll verdict.
I’m not a poll truther, but I don’t think women (and the men who stand with us) are being weighed heavily enough – the numbers and the intensity are evident in every election since Dobbs. And, before we walk over fiery coals to vote against that pathetic monster, we’re going to bloody our knuckles knocking on doors, and sprain everything else writing postcards and making phone calls and telling anyone who'll listen to us the rape story and the rapey ones too. Every voter available to us will be contacted at least five times.
Women get shit done. And furious women slay (monsters not puppies).
This is going to be the Hell Hath No Fury election and I don't think it'll even be close. We'll carry people on our backs if we must. #VOTEhard
I am with you 100%. Women vote in a higher percentage then men. And I've always said, you can't take a personal RIght away from a group of people, even if they never use that right. Woman are angry and they will vote.
What’s not baked in…
