Absolutely spot on

Meanwhile, so much misogyny in the news today (and every day). Someone could do a (really depressing) daily news roundup. https://bsky.app/profile/eliothiggins.bsky.social/post/3ldbv5fvtic27

More from the Guardian, which also has front-page stories about sexual harassment in the military, sexual assault by a Louisiana priest, the Pelicot trial, and Texas's a.g. suing to prevent women's access to abortion pills. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/13/jay-z-rape-allegation-impunity-hip-hop

Yoon won by a tiny margin by pandering to the resentments of anti-feminist young men; Trump won the same way with the same tiny margin. But the latter's victory also depended on pretending to be all sorts of other things--pro-abortion rights via Musk's RBG Super-PAC, for example....

If impeach in Korea = removed from office, why couldn’t we have that in the ¿U.S.? Anyone else frustrated to hell that the Founding Fathers didn’t listen to the Founding Mothers to write prophylactic laws to save the country from toxic, inept, corrupt candidates—prevent them ever getting on ballot?
