We will only have stability when Toady finally cracks and holds moderator elections. The winners will be myself, maniac, and LW. They will ban each other, I will ban the survivors, Toady will ban me.

All will return to zero.

will b12 ever reach the line between sensible discussion and circlejerk

the world may never know

So... Not a sensible discussion where people agree and disagree

and not a circle jerk where everyone agrees...

You want a discussion where everyone disagrees with one another?
If something so wonderful could happen anywhere, it might be here.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

I'm using this from now on- it's fantastic.

In the end, the Maker and the Writer will finally do battle, in all their glorious form of the mighty Toad and the Three-Toed-Titan. The land will quake and the sky shall tremble, the universe will end and, in ending, be remade once more. That is the way of things.

In other news, the GOP is doing blatantly illegal voter suppression.

Devil's advocate that?  Well, hypothetically, I could give it a shot in the dark with seven simple words: "The public has a right to know."

But gods, yes, there's a reason the US switched en masse to the secret ballot over a century ago.

Well okay I'll try :P
This seems to be directed at Republicans, encouraging them to vote.  Not meant to scare Democrats.
Also, the title of the article is a misleading fabrication.

Honestly it seems like a misguided attempt to rally supporters... still, using blatant misinformation, so I stand by what I said.

I know that sexual assault is a serious thing and all, but some of these accounts are honestly pretty hilarious.

One woman's account is basically, "So I went to a club with some friends, and some guy put his hand up my skirt. One of my friends said she thought it might have been Donald Trump, because he had eyebrows." Unsurprisingly, the friend could not be reached for comment.

Another woman's account, "Donald Trump invited me to his cottage, we made out until I told him he was tripping, and after that we had a fair and professional relationship. I was totally okay with the encounter at the time, but now many years later I want to call it sexual assault so that I can get my 15 minutes in the spotlight."

You and I have very different definitions of hilarious.

And I'm going to go waaaaaaay out on a limb here and guess that you are lying about the accounts of victims to belittle them in order to make a sex criminal look less bad.  Because horrible, misogynistic people do that every time a woman comes forward.

538 had a good way of putting it.  He openly bragged about these things, then a lot of women came forwards independently.  Now he says they are all liars.  Think about it like a Bayesian.

... Right, I forgot everything was about that ::)
Considering it's the Republicans, there's probably a small chance.  So might as summon the specter of racism since there's literally no reason not to.

I'm not saying everything is about that.  I'm just curious in this case.  Because well... there is a significant chance that's what it's about.

Folly, please. A lot of people here already think of you as pretty darn close to defending sexual assault, when those people read that it doesn't exactly help your cause in convincing them that you're not a piece of shit. Just think for once.

Donald Trump complained today that no one has accused Obama of sexual assault. I think that *does* say a lot, but not what he thinks it says.
