The slow, slow, slow….then fast of change

Remember Bill Cosby? Rumors circulated for years that he was a basically raping women. Stories were discussed online, an accuser might win a small mention in some out of the way paper like the Village Voice... then... ...the dam breaks. And it is all over. The first accusers are the gutsy ones. "Bill Cosby? America's Dad, raping? P'shaw." They were twice victimized. Once by Cosby and once again by Cosby's enablers. The ones that stream out into the open once the ground is softened, they are victims too, but they owe a huge debt to the vanguard. Similarly, all Republicans will owe a debt to John MCCain, Jeff Flake and Bob Corker. These men are conservative a-holes who in normal times would be worthy of contempt. But these are not normal times.

I’m offering a limited amnesty to Delaware Republicans

The deal isn't going to be around for long, and once it is gone, it is gone. If you renounce Trump in similar terms to Sen. Bob Corker (below) by acknowledge that he is never going to be decent human or a good President, and if you apologize for voting for him, and you work to try and rehabilitate your party I will give a pass for having voted for Trump with your fingers crossed. I'm not holding my breath that any Delaware Republicans will step up and take the olive branch. You know why? Just like congressional Republicans, the entire DEGOP is cowed by a handful of lunatics. Will Ken Simpler take my deal? No way in hell. Will Rob Arlett take my deal? Clearly No. Will Mike Harrington or Emily Taylor? I seriously doubt it.

John Kelly believes women were “sacred” in the good old days

“When I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country,” he said. “Women were sacred and looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore, as we see from recent cases.”
Kelly's got his aged head up his old man ass. It wasn't women that were sacred...it was the silence of women that was sacred. It was the powerlessness of women that was sacred.
