"Stormy Daniels has reminded us of what a disgusting misogynistic creep Donald Trump is: unable to control his carnal impulses, eager to exploit his power and influence and wealth to procure sex, devoid of shame or guilt or remorse, incapable of fidelity, focused completely on his own sexual satiety, and totally fine about said sexual satiety being generated by violent means."
"A quarter of the way through the 21st century, a predilection towards sexual misconduct and misogyny is practically a BFOQ of a Republican politician.

@msquebanh when I got divorced, a few friends and I went out for happy hour, not a huge party, but fun. I had no idea divorce parties were a thing at the time!
@somcak I didn't know divorce parties were a thing until a few years ago, when I got my first invitation to one. It was a full weekend getaway divorce party. One of the best getaway events I've ever experienced. The second one I attended started out with brunch & axe throwing 🤣🪓We also went trail riding with horses & ended with sunset picnic sailing excursion 😊
