While you've been watching the Kavanaugh debacle:

Secretary DeVos lost a court case over her rollback of predatory lending protections.

The GOP in the House passed an extension of the tax cuts that will cut an additional $3.8 trillion dollars from revenue.

President Trump signed the Department of Education funding bill, which excludes most of his proposed changes.

The numbers are out and over the first 18 months of the Trump administration the average worker's weekly wages declined more than $16 in current dollars.

ICE has been transporting children away from where they have been, to Texas, in the wee hours of the morning.

And...

A Border Patrol officer fired an explosive toward a gender reveal party, starting a 47,000 acre wildfire! He was found guilty of a misdemeanor (really?!) and fined $220,000.

Junior worries more about his sons getting accused of sexual harassment than of his daughters experiencing it.

On this one his thinking is totally correct.

For you, Bambi.

Cern scientist suspended for presentation in which he asserted that "Physics is becoming sexist against men."

Wrong again.

Sexual harassment is far more common from men than women and I think the fear is legit for his son, because I suspect given his upbringing that he has a good chance of it - because there is a good chance he will engage in sexual harassment.

But his daughters are far more likely to be harassed than his son is to be accused of it - it's just that none of the Trump men care about the harassment of women.

That link doesn't work for me...extra 'url' and bracket wrong or something.

White men are the real victims.  Every time, every issue.  Be it institutional racism, immigration enforcement, or #metoo.  Amazing with all the structural disadvantages they face they are overwhelmingly the subset of our population that is in charge.  They seem to be doing pretty well actually.  Considering.

It's a heavy burden we carry,  having to be respectful to women and minorities all the time,  not to mention the arduous task of teaching our sons to do so.   And now the women are trying to take our particle accelerators away,  not to mention our Large Hardon Collider at CERN.

So it seems McConnell will test Flake, and force a vote this week, calling the allegations against Kavanaugh "character assassination" and "obstruction."

Either Mitch McConnell doesn't know what those words mean, or kiidcarter8 is wrong (surprise!) that everyone believes Ms. Ford.

Or, apparently, he can schedule the vote on Friday immediately following the FBI's deadline giving Senators exactly no time to go over their conclusions, should they make any.

You truly think McConnell's immoral machinations can go no lower, then he shows you nope, there is no bottom for this pure partisan.

Given Mitch's resemblance to a turtle,  I couldn't help but think of that Hindu cosmological story where it's "turtles all the way down. "

White guys are gritty.

White guys are being discriminated against at every turn these days.

We are being labelled 'pale, stale, and male'.

“I wrote in Lean In that 64 percent of managers are afraid to be alone with a woman colleague, in part because of fears of being accused of sexual harassment,” she writes.

______

She also said in one of her speeches that caution should be exercised when dealing with cases where men are accused of sexual harassment...because there will be women who won't be telling the truth...in other words...lying.

Lying.
Lying women are out there, she basically said.
Lying women out to destroy men.

I,know. Every day I am prevented from having my female reports wear skimpy clothing, or trying to grab them by the pussy in the file room, or make them go out with me so I wont fire them. Ah, the white man's burden is heavy indeed.

Man’s life ‘destroyed’ following classmate’s false rape allegation

A WOMAN is being sued for $6 million following her false rape allegations that led a student being kicked out of university and losing his job.

_____________

Last month a similar case unfolded when student Nikki Yovino, 19 claimed two university football students raped her.
