    Hey gals! What if we used all of that time and mental energy that we spend on self-doubt thinking instead about how we're going to implement the global matriarchy as future policy writers, CEOs, . . . POTUSes?

    Fun fact: When I was 16 I used to mail Maya Angelou my poems, and call her work phone and leave messages because all her info was in the phone book. True story.

    Yes. Right. I am not following Stormy Daniels's story because it is titillating (GROSS), but because she is fighting power that tries to silence women and thrives on a network of privilege, insiderism, and the protection of wealth above all else.

    Really this story isn’t about sex or campaign finance law, it’s about the the grotesque power rich people have to bribe and intimidate people into silence, often without violating any laws. Taking away that power should be a left cause.

    “I have known several men like Mr. Rivers, and they always hid their machine guns and pornography together, so proximate were the lonely pleasures of fantasizing about mastery and violence.”
