Hmm. One of her conditions was that they not have an attorney question her presumably because all the Republicans on that committee are men and it would make for really bad Republican optics

I met Grassley once in Iowa. He seemed bored and disinterested in the event. I am glad he has awakened!

@Logan yeah I'm impressed with the Republican optics on this if they can get this confirmation done on time for the SCOTUS session start

@Logan I heard FTN mention this issue a few days ago. It does look pretty bad. They also said she wants the first and last comment.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN yeah Grassley was a hold-out on the confirmation when the allegations came out. Looks like he's awakening a bit at least on this issue

Does anyone else expect the 2018 house and senate races to just be like a whack-a-mole game of accusations?

@micbwilli yes in swing states definitely. One thing that's different for the mid-terms though is that it's not a single election where all the media can target all their energy like they did with Roy Moore, that Texas guy, or Kavanaugh. I think there's going to be too many moving targets for them to focus on well. But I agree that I think they will definitely try.

Some protesters interrupted Ted Kruz (who is the Zodiac Killer) at a dinner. They made this big scream about how he is friends with Kavanagh. If a dozen women don't ce out on election week against him I'll be amazed.

Why, in our circles, is it considered acceptable for singles guys to have a dog, but it’s considered pathetic and is continually ranted against for a single woman to have a dog?

I get the whole “fur baby” and “pit mommy” thing is weird, but what the heck is wrong with having a dog?

It's because the whole "fur baby" thing came to exist

And it was almost entirely from women who held feminist and modern ideas

About families (or the lack of want)

So it kind of soured the whole thing for all women

It's because single guys with a dog view it as a friend of sorts (and also a good way to meet women) not as their "baby"

@TMatthews that may be true in some cases, but I frequently hear men refer to their dog as their baby, and even their girl.

I don't like using this term, but "coal burners" with pit bulls are the only ones I have seen discussed negatively in related circles.

I think dog people are different than people who happen to own a dog.

Yeah, I've never seen negativity towards single women with dogs.

@micbwilli that’s very true. That stereotype seems to hold up.

If I were single and saw a woman with a dog, I would be even more intrigued. 😄

I hear it all the time on Tedious.

@Deleted User I cut dog owning single women a lot more slack than cat ladies. Toxoplamsmosis is real.

As long as a woman isn't a coalburning pitbull THOT, a dog is a fine.

@Deleted User I don't know if I've changed or if TRS has changed, but sometimes they sound a lot more spergy to me now than they used to.

It’s just weird to me to NOT have a dog, I guess.

I've always had pets, so not having one is weird to me.

What kind of dog do you have?

@ThisIsChris yeah. Enoch was ranting that all women want to be choke slammed and “taken”.

I was like, cringing

I love doggos, but don't care for pits. I have known a lot of them and only one that was nice. Ironically in was raised by a single woman that trained in on the daily. She was a really great dog owner.

So long as it's not a pitbull or one of those ratlike little dogs that just sits in a purse, dogs are fine for men or women

I mush sled dogs so I am definitely a dog person. Though it's just a job. The dogs aren't mine

Every pit I've ever met was super nice, tbh.

my friend has a male and a female and they will literally love you to death, not a mean bone in either body.

@Deleted User yes that's real cringe, it's like how glorifying high school bullies was a schtick Mike was going on about in early 2017

mush sled dogs? <:chad:359013583469805568>

The TDS guys are crude as part of their Gen X Opie/Anthony schtick.

@Asatru Artist - MD yeah dude. I take boomerz out on tours.

Pit mommies are the worst, I work with one and she posted about how it got off the leash during a walk and was offended whe nthe neighbor kids were running, when I have kids I hope they run from any big dog pitbull or not

@TMatthews how dare you!

I actually like rat doggos as long as they don't scream constantly. My aunt have a rat dog that never makes a sound. I have never once heard him bark.
