I love Mr Sulu when he goes maximum warp speed.

Graham seems to have some kind of angry meltdown during the confirmation hearing.  I doubt he's mentally stable enough to continue to hold high office.  Definitely a threat to national security.  At least declare a no (house) fly zone covering the inside of his cranium.

Nor do I expect her to have anybody accuse her of sexual misconduct toward them or for her to lose her temper and yell at any committee members.

Actually, the  Christine Blasey Ford reference to beer was she had only one beer at the party where  Bret Kavanaugh allegedly attacked  her.

It was a sure sign she was lying.

And it turned out she was.

Bullshit!


She did not claim to be incapacitated she said because Kavanaugh and his buddy were stumble bum drunk and that allowed her escape from the room.

BAG LADY SYNDROME

Bag Lady Syndrome is an actual syndrome coined in the 1970's for women who have extreme anxiety over finances and believe that in their elder years they are going to run out of money, become homeless and live destitute lives...potentially a bag lady.

A long time ago 'Prepper Princess' was diagnosed with the disease Bag Lady Syndrome.

If I were a young girl, young woman in America [or anywhere else in the West for that matter] there's no way I'd be getting pregnant in high school, college, or anywhere else until I became financially secure, set for life.
I'd be lining up at church to take the vow of chastity until marriage, and getting the chastity ring on my finger as fast as I could.
Marriage today is a guarantee of nothing, average marriage only lasts 13 years...then the divorce misery starts. Heaven help a woman if she has a child/children and is divorced - not set up for life with a large amount of money in the bank, a nice new car and living in a good-standard home she owns.
Money buys happiness, a comfortable life, and power over one's future.

If I couldn't accumulate money, couldn't find a nice and wealthy husband with money that could be transferred into my name so I'd feel secure...I might sell my virginity online to the highest bidder...$1m minimum.

Bag ladies;

Once young and beautiful, the world at their feet, now homeless bag ladies.

NYT:

In the notorious section of midtown surrounding the Port Authority bus terminal, amid throngs of workers, transients, and tourists, lives a compact society of outsiders. Hustlers, hookers, three-card monte players, con men, drug dealers, jackrollers (thieves who specialize in robbing the poor of their welfare funds) work over

their marks between Times Square and the Stroll, that strip of Eighth Avenue serviced by prostitutes and pimps. But there is another sort of outsider in the neighborhood, another group of resident streetwalkers, as inconspicuous as the others are often flamboyant.

This is the swelling population of ''shopping-bag ladies,'' those solitary, impoverished women toting bags, picking over trash near the Ninth Avenue food markets, dozing in doorways, huddled among their possessions in the Port Authority's dreary public rooms.

An image of the bag lady, however distorted, has begun to assume a symbolic place in contemporary consciousness, inspiring poems, pictures, plays, cartoons.

I think this new, somewhat nervous interest in the odd lone woman springs from a growing fear many women harbor for their own old age in a time when traditional family supports for women are breaking down and so many may expect to wind up old, poor, and alone.

[bambu.]

I'd be giving traditional familiy a big miss if I were a young woman, unless I had money and assets, and plenty of both.

Imagine the horror for women of older than 35 years, finishing up on the streets as bag ladies for the rest of their lives, being mocked and romanticized instead of helped by state and federal govts into a better life.
Unwanted, unloved, tossed on the scrap heap of life by society. It's totally shameful.

It is his rapiness that ties Red to the GOP.

Rapiness, irresponsibility, dishonesty, and endless malice.
