That would be great! They could share tips.....


At least they would be sharing their "tips" (and more?) with each other instead of someone who didn't say yes....

Between the two of them, a woman wouldn't be safe awake or asleep.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

If there was just one woman, I don't think she would be getting much sleep.

Cosby used drugs to preclude resistance and to induce a state of memory failure so that events would be hazy and degree of consent would be uncertain.
Weinstein just used physical and economic coercion, not being particularly concerned about consent.

Each relied on money, lawyers and publicists, though Weinstein was focused largely on his intelligence networks.

What each failed to realize was the groundswell of powerful women who would use any techniques to bring him dow: power, publicity or perjury.

That is exactly why we should not allow women to have any power.

Andrew Gillum, who in 2018 came within 34,000 votes of becoming Florida’s governor, was discovered by police at a South Beach hotel early Friday morning in a room with bags of possible crystal meth and in the company of a man who appeared to have overdosed on drugs, according to a Miami Beach police report.


If I remember correctly he was already accused of something in his initial outing as a politician. Not a good sign.

better or more vindictive?

As to that Florida gubernatorial candidate, anyone who came that close first time out of the box deserves to seek solace with something but booze and a broad is always best for a politician. Drugs and another man make bad headlines.

A PBS poll has Trump up 20 points with Latino voters since the wall controversy started. From 30 in Dec to 50 today. They want a wall.


I think Latinos really want a wall now with Covid-19.
