"...women are men, but with wombs"
That's confusing for anyone who's had a hysterectomy. 🤦

Misogyny predates postmodernism by at least a couple of millennia.

We're fine with being alone if being 'quiet and gentle' with burks like Joel is the alternative.

Oops, sorry, I really didn't mean to repost it, honest guv, but my finger slipped.

Grabbing the world's attention is an addiction for Trump, and however disastrous he's always craving the next hit..."Look at me, Ma, I'm top of the world!"

Trump, work? An oxymoron if ever there was one.

Christo-fascism, obviously. The destruction of women's rights that started gradually, and then suddenly. Bodily autonomy, gone, DEI, gone, voting rights, gone...next will be the bank accounts.
Atwood herself said there's nothing in it that hasn't already happened to women some time, somewhere.

I'm an atheist, but whether one believes the existence of Jesus or not is irrelevant to the power of metaphor.

Trump dodged the draft, he'll never risk his fat arse in a war zone...even though Putin would kindly silence his guns out of respect for his closest ally.
(That's my arrest at the US border guaranteed)

"But The Handmaid’s Tale seemed like science fiction ..."
Perhaps getting that date with his feminist friend in the 80s might have been easier if he'd understood that feminists have always known The Handmaid's Tale wasn't science fiction.

Do these so-called pastors ever preach the story of Jesus literally whipping the money changers from the temple because they defiled it with their greed and corruption?

Rape is never about sex, it's about power. Why do you think it's been a weapon of war since time immemorial?

Trump surrounded by his sycophants always reminds me of Tudor King Henry VIII's courts, his courtiers bowing to his every whim, terrified he'll turn on them, while fighting each other like rats in a sack to gain his favours. We tamed our monarchs in Britain, but it took centuries...

Richard Tice, partner of the beauteous Isabel of Dubai, a lying, conniving hypocrite?

Somehow it's always female contraception they want to ban, never vasectomies...

Donald all mouth and no trousers Trump has blinked - again - and they're laughing their heads off in Bejing.

They no longer even bother to hide their corruption, they glory in it.

I don't think anyone has mentioned The Traveling Wilburys. They all had hits individually but this was their first hit together.

The Muse is a slippery character as I've found myself, and you've obviously got far more self-discipline than me ☹️, so please don't let me discourage you!

I trust Sir Grant Shapps' associates Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath and Sebastian Fox have got knighthoods too. 😉

This is an inspiring poem, but it could equally be inspiring to any group with deeply held views across the political or religious spectrum who find reassurance 'fervently believing in the same things'. Somehow we need to find ways to reach across the divides and find our common humanity.

It's not going to be a high turnout again though, is it, now they're disenfranchising 68 million married women?
The problem is that they still don't fear you enough.

"There has been some confusion on what President Trump has said in social media posts on when the tariff starts and what is written in the executive order,” said Jarred Varanelli, vice president of US sales at logistics firm Savino Del Bene.

The majority of them secretly hate Trump too but will never admit it to themselves or anyone else.
Money is a great salver of consciences.

The problem is not that she's wrong about much of politics being silly bullshit, it's that she believes her own silly bullshit is beyond criticism.

A million marching against the Iraq war in London didn't stop it. 100s of 1000s women marching didn't stop the assault on women's rights nor stop Brexit in the UK. It's town hall protests, challenging your Congressmen and women that will make them think twice about trashing your democracy

Disagree with a medical bill?
How about nationalising your health service?

Done. My MP was one of the few with enough integrity to defy the Labour whip and vote against invoking Art 50, before the terms of Brexit had even been discussed (thanks Corbyn ☹️), so I imagine he will attend the debate, but it doesn't hurt to remind him!

"The available information pre Nov 5th was that Trump was the better of the two candidates."
Ignoring economic policy for the moment, in what universe is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, self-confessed sex pest, serial bankrupt and persistent liar the better candidate? 🤦
