Trump endorsed the Republican candidate, Gillespie, in Virginia, basically saying the Democrat Northam supported MS-13 and sanctuary cities (Virginia doesn't have any). The race is close-ish because Northam is milquetoast as gently caress.

Still, Gillespie appears thrilled about the endorsement.

Northam, actually thrilled, turned it into a fundraising opportunity.

Trump's approval rating in Virginia is 33-59.

Northam is another rear end in a top hat that thinks Virginia is only Richmond and maybe NoVA depending if the mood strikes him. Wouldn't surprise me to see him lose and then act bewildered as to how ignoring the rest of the state was a bad idea.

Speaking of idiot Virginia representatives, Terry McAuliffe is pushing an assault weapons ban in Virginia citing Virginia Tech as reason enough despite the fact that jackass used handguns with ten round magazines.

He had hosed up some show earlier in the year or last year because he was on some hard drugs, and people wanted their money back. So, probably a combination of fat and drugs.

2003 was a long loving time ago. I was entering high school when the first season ended.

:shrug: I'd take those two over Gillespie or Cuccinelli any day of the week. Also what Psydude said.

And there's not going to be an assault weapon ban in VA. Not as long as Republicans control the State Assembly and Senate. And even then, I doubt it'd happen as easily as it did in Maryland under O'Malley.

Wasn't it the Virginia House floor where a state rep not only brought a WASR-10 inside the chamber as a speech prop, but one of the other reps offered to buy it from him on the spot?

That was definitely Taft. One of the defining characteristics of President Taft was that he was so fat they had to install a special tub for him to bathe in.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

quote:

Weinstein led Sivan to the kitchen of the restaurant, which was closed at the time. There were two staffers in the kitchen, whom Weinstein excused, leaving him alone with Sivan in a small area just outside the kitchen. Sivan then claims Weinstein attempted to kiss her, at which point she pulled away and told Weinstein she had a boyfriend. Weinstein reportedly answered by saying, "Well, can you just stand there and shut up," at which point Weinstein exposed himself, masturbated and quickly ejaculated into a nearby potted plant. He then re-zipped his pants and exited through the kitchen.

I really don't get how men like Weinstein or O'Reilly or Weiner or Bill Clinton develop into the misogynists or harassers that we know them to be now. Like, is it power or fame that lets them be who they always were deep down, or is it the other way around?

I ask because I'm in my early to mid 30s and am climbing the ladder in my own career, yet at no point have I ever thought, "Gee, grabbing the intern's rear end/dropping sleazy hints on my attractive but very much married coworker sure seems like a great idea!"

I just don't get how men like that operate. Same goes with people who get into a position of power or authority and turn into irredeemable authoritarian assholes, but I guess that's two sides of the same coin.

It's the era they grew up in.

Women were still "things" even in the 90s, and they "knew their place" up until relatively recently.

I think it's pretty well established that Hollywood is brimming with horrible sex perverts and pedophiles who are somehow allowed to act with impunity. Just look at how Woody Allen and Roman Polanski are treated.

If you allow your child to be an actor you're pretty much asking for them to be abused and/or raped.

There's a cut scene from The Godfather that shows the guy who got the horse head stuffed into his sheets was a pedophile.

MOM WAS RIGHT
Trump killed the contraceptive mandate.


quote:

employers may now have more leeway to withhold birth control coverage on religious grounds, according to new rules issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services on Friday.

quote:

Until now, a fairly limited number of employers -- mainly churches and some other religious entities -- could get an exemption to the mandate. Some others, such as religious-based universities or hospitals, could seek accommodations so that they didn't have to provide coverage, but their workers could still get covered contraceptives that would be paid for by the insurer or the employer plan's administrator.
