  1. You (we) should stop saying "the Trump indictment". We should say "These Trump indictments" or "The Trump indictments so far." These 34 felony charges could easily turn out to be only the first wave. Who knows what else may be coming down the pipe?

  2. And Trump is obese (I’m using the technical medical definition based on height, weight, and age- Trump is not morbidly obese but he is obese.) This bumps his risks up to the same level as Biden’s.

  3.  @waggishsagacity7947  Jodie would make a great candidate if she could be persuaded to run. She has everything: household-name-level recognition, demonstrated ability to speak the language of poor people, a dedicated following among white suburban women, connections, money, devotion to her family, and a kind of masculine grit that would likely neutralize the usual sexist attacks that women in politics often get cut down by. The right wingers would try calling her "haughty" and "arrogant" and the voters would remember The Silence of the Lambs and laugh at the right wingers. In fact she'd be a female counterpart to Ronald Reagan.

  4. It probably doesn't help your case to have the hostess hawking cosmetics for geriatrics during the commercial.

  5. Has there ever been a female candidate who was NOT haughty and arrogant??? It’s what women in politics are instead of being dominant like men!

  6. Two people I wish would enter the race, especially if something happens (gods forbid) to Biden: Al Franken Jodie Foster

  7. RE: "Thwarted male sexual desire" Not exactly. There are no real "incels". Mainstream clinical psychology is increasingly recognizing a previously-unacknowledged sexual orientation: asexuality. This is as much a sexual orientation as any other, and just as impossible to change as any other. Some people like members of the opposite gender; some like members of their own gender, and some people just don't want to love anyone, and, given total liberty, choose not to have amorous relations with anyone. The people who identify (and are identified) as "incels" are actually just asexual people who are afraid to admit to themselves what they are, and try to cover their fear of their own asexuality by pretending that celibacy is being forced on them by women, when in fact they are choosing to be alone. That is why their anger is so great: it's largely really fear, repression (repression of non-desire) and resentment at society's refusal to recognize them.
