It is one of the great ironies of modern history that at the same time the #MeToo movement called predators and abusers to account, Americans twice elected an unabashed rapist as their president.
Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump. But he got elected even after he was adjudicated civilly responsible for sexually attacking E Jean Carroll"

I hate this.
Two physicists asked AI to choose a problem on its own, solve it and write a paper that could be published in a prestigious journal. In two hours, AI produced a paper with a novel, significant result.

If you are more bothered by the fact that Barack Obama made a Cheesecake Factory joke than that Donald Trump was just accused of raping yet another woman, you're sick.

Living next door to the USA is like being in a relationship with an abusive gaslighter.

Why do Republicans keep shitting on Canada? What's wrong with this country?
Insane mic drop by Ron DeSantis, the 46th governor of Florida. "3.3 million visitors from Canada. That's not much of a boycott, in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup winning hockey team actually looks like." Elbows up Boomers from Eastern Canada are hypocrites.

Big News: the MAGA movement, with its weaponization of child predators against their victim survivors, is moral trash.
The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.  We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…

A couple years after Cosby's infamous fall, America elected a rapist as their president. This will be studied by historians.
Bill Cosby thought the interview was over when he asked an AP reporter to make sure his answer about the rape allegations never aired. His microphone was still on, and the AP released the tape. It was November 2014, and he was there to talk about his art collection. A few weeks earlier a comedian had called him a rapist on stage, the clip went viral, and accusations that had been around for years were news again. So the reporter asked. Cosby smiled and shook his head. "No, no, we don't answer that." His wife Camille sat next to him. Then the interview ended. Both of them were still wearing microphones, and the camera was still running. In the video below Cosby appeals to the reporter's "integrity" and says he would appreciate it if the footage was "scuttled." "I think if you want to consider yourself to be serious, that it will not appear anywhere." Two weeks later the tape was everywhere. More than 60 women came forward. In a 2005 deposition he had admitted getting Quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with. He had paid one accuser about $3.4 million. In 2018 a jury convicted him of drugging and assaulting her. He got 3 to 10 years. In 2021 Pennsylvania's Supreme Court threw out the conviction, because a prosecutor had promised back in 2005 not to charge him. He walked out that day. He was never declared innocent. He just went home. Was the court right to free him over a promise made 16 years earlier?

These people are so incredibly ignorant. "Conservative" in BC is a centrist coalition that includes Liberals and is far to the left of the GOP. For perspective, the equivalent of MAGA in BC received 1.5% of the vote. Idiots.
Canada is finally waking up! For the first time in nearly a century, conservatives took the majority in British Columbia. That basically as big of a deal as Democrats taking Texas. It looks like a growing number of Canadians have reached their absolute limit with the Left's agenda... because British Columbia isn't alone in this. The city of Toronto posted a PSA meant to showcase the "modern Toronto family," featuring two fat gay guys pushing a stroller down the street. The backlash was so immediate and overwhelming that the city had to disable the comments. But the real question remains... How soon will Mark Carney try and blame Trump for this one?

Behold the fundamentalist Christian: this is how they justify supporting a completely depraved racist, rapist, felonious, sexual predator and huckster.

Evangelicals who support this shit-mouthed racist, whatever moral credibility you deluded yourself into thinking you have is done.
Trump: Why do we always take people from shithouse countries? Why can't we take people from Norway or Sweden?

Racism and xenophobia has always been in the DNA of the MAGA movement.
Trump pushes gutter racism: "The guy in Michigan is pretty bad too -- Mohammed, as I call him ... if you have any question about somebody from that part of the world's name, just call him 'Mohammed,' you'll be right 64% of the time."

The Christian Good News:
2 billion Muslims will go to hell. 450 million atheists will go to hell. 1.2 billion Hindus will go to hell. 500 million Buddhists will go to hell. Few followers of Jesus will go to heaven (Matthew 22:14).
