1200 sexual assault reports in 6 years. That’s 1 every 2 days. Only 7 resulted in an expulsion or dismissal. Only 14 resulted in a suspension. Cornell is a rapist factory. Drive it out of business. Also, only 5-13% of college women who are assaulted report it. That’s 5-6 assaults a day.

This week's comic on the folly of triangulating with oligarchs

The trouble with oligarchy-curious Dems

Actual Democrats aren’t inspired to vote for them

Politician on TV: I’m so open-minded, I voted for all of Trump’s nominees, and I love data centers!

Woman in chair: I’m staying home.

Republicans won’t vote for them

Voter at ballot box: A demon-CRAT?

No way!

Low-info swing voters aren’t concerned with performative “centrism”

Guy walking out of convenience store with case of Brapp Lite: I just like the guy who yells.

Triangulation: It finds the sweet spot!

Consultant: We’ve zeroed in on one voter named Gus.
