Did the GOP gain a tiny advantage by having Michael Avenatti as a foil?

Come on now. Shouldn’t we know by now that this process had nothing do with honest debate or its effect on public opinion? The GOP rolled America. This wasn’t representative democracy, it was an in-your-face power grab.

Oh come on. I'm not a huge fan of Avenatti, but this outcome was never in doubt, with or without Avenatti. Pretending otherwise is denying reality. This blame game is pointless. Blame the GOP. If Avenatti weren't there, the GOP would have seized on something else. It's WHAT THEY DO.

So far not a single word from Susan Collins about Dr. Ford. lgf.bz/2pCoiTX Collins is gaslighting furiously, trying to picture Kavanaugh as a hero of civil rights and women’s rights. It’s nauseating.

I ran screaming away from the right before it was cool to run screaming away from the right. And got slimed by the New York Times for it. I let a Times reporter interview me in my home, and then he went to Pamela Freaking Geller for a derogatory quote about me. And he wanted to use false accusations from outright stalkers until I threatened to sue if he did.

This was really something. A glance of the inner Trump - a guy who's contemptuous of other people in general, but especially women. Yes, I know that should have been "glimpse." It was a glancing glimpse.

Slurring his words badly tonight, Trump keeps referring to the Democratic Party as the “DemocRAT Party,” a buzzphrase the far right loves. lgf.bz/2Qmap7V Now he’s attacking the media as usual: “They are stoking the fires of resentment and chaos.” Man, the projection in THAT howler. lgf.bz/2Qmap7V

Why isn't anyone talking about how Trump sounded so pathetically scattered and exhausted in his speech to the UN? Even apart from his ugly nationalistic speech, his demeanor was disturbing. Have the people around Trump graduated from stealing documents off his desk to feeding him sedatives to keep him docile? It's a slippery slope, people.

Some right wingers are now tweeting that Mark Judge was “right” when he wrote for Chuck C. Johnson’s blog, attacking the woman in Rolling Stone’s now-retracted UVA gang rape article. Technically, he may have been “right” this time, because parts of the RS article did indeed end up being discredited, but calling this “right” misunderstands what people like Chuck Johnson and Mark Judge do.

Look out, we have a QAnon tough guy here. Whatever you do, don't search Google Images for "face pussy." You've been warned.

About Steve Bannon:

• He's white.
• He has money.
• He has powerful backers and PR people.
• He's white.

So no matter how much hateful evil shit he pumps out, he'll still get interviewed and enabled by our media, because their focus is on profit, not social responsibility. And there's a twisted symbiosis going on where creatures like Bannon feed off the controversy they generate by spewing hateful evil shit, which makes the media even more likely to continue giving him a platform.

In one of the most pathetic photos I've ever seen, Trump poses and mugs like a jackass with a biker wearing a patch that says "I ♥ GUNS & TITTIES". Right wing rando: HEY WHAT'S WRONG WITH GUNS AND TITTIES, LIBTARD?

And now right wingers are circulating a list of people to target for harassment. So yesterday I reported this creep who was circulating a long list of people for right wingers to attack and harass. Here's @Twitter's expected but maddening response. @twittersecurity

Watching the @maddow show, and jfc.

The Republican jaunt to Moscow.

What the fuck. @maddow I may be uttering random exclamations of dismay for a while here. Bear with me.

Serious. What the fuck.

1/10 Something I just can’t understand: why so many people insist on pushing this fiction that “fake news” is something that comes ... 2/10 equally out of both sides in the Great American Political Divide. Because yes - the liberal side of the divide does have some ...
