I would think the consumers of the stuff are more likely to be conservative and Republican. Forbidden fruit is always the tastiest. 

My assumption is that it would transcend most demographic categories and be fairly ubiquitous. Hazarding a guess, my only assumption is that it is more commonly used by men than women, if only because that's who the market seems to more overtly target. Perhaps that's why Fifty Shades of Grey sold really well; it's erotica for women in a market without much concern for their interests.

But I have no data for that, it's just my guess.

I love how Republicans like to play the 'youre paying for the poor' card nonstop.  It's like, if you're so interested in helping the working class, how come you suck at it soooooool much.  I mean the Democrats suck at it too, but it's like you guys are on completely separate planes of sucking at helping the lower classes.  Like, the Democrats are actively bad at helping it, while the Republicans are enthusiastic about being willfully destructive of it.  


Well, that's because most white people see the poor as mostly people of color. They also think of people of color as lazy. So any poor white person they will look at as having traits that they think people of color have, laziness. So they have no issue voting against the poor. They keep their money insead of helping people they deem inferior and lazy.

Poor white people have mitigating circumstances.

Yeah but it's fun! I just had them on the line for 57 seconds while a confused intern tried to get Dr. Dre's message written down.

If nothing else you can spread your suffering. It's like therapy, but bad. And twisted.

Like our government!

 

Now now Jace. I spent many years being that unpaid intern on the opposite side of the call. Be nice.

For Christ's sake, do we really need to make pornography consumption a partisan issue? Talk about polarization. It seems pretty ubiquitous to me, and there are probably a bunch of better demographics one could use to accurately delineate its consumption than political affiliation. 

Seriously. I know this liberal has a folder within a folder within a folder within a folder within a folder within a folder within a folder within a folder where the good bookmarked stuff is kept. 

:P

Huh. I just keep mine in Chrome's "other bookmarks." #woops

I don't care for videos 'cause the production value is bad and I don't have the attention span for long form erotica so my porn files consist of links to captioned pictures.

You ever see Memento? You remember the dude with the memory problem who like commercials 'cause he could keep track of them? I'm the same way, speaking of pornographic preference of course.

Back in the day I shared the family PC and one AOL account with my wife and our two girls.  I kept my porn buried deep in the darkest corner of the most boringest folder string I could find:   Pets > Aquarium > Forums > EZboard > AquariumCentral > Planted Tanks > DIY > Invertebrates > Prawn!

How Rand Paul could still stop Pompeo

The Kentucky libertarian crosses Trump even after the president heaped praise on him.

Quote

One option for opponents bent on scuttling Pompeo would be to vote against sending his nomination to the floor, even with an unfavorable recommendation; another would be to filibuster an attempt by Republican leadership to bring the nomination straight to the floor and circumvent the committee.

Wait, why are trumpists taking Rudy Giuliani joining Trump's legal team as a good sign?  Isn't he some sort of anemic vampire clown?  Oh, I get it, must be approaching the last dungeon of their larp.  Geez, someone explain to them he's just an NPC.

What people from North Dakota and the other agricultural states care about, which means what D-Heitkamp cares about, are the Chinese tariffs on soybeans and pork.

It took all this time for the NYTimes to do a story on that.  Or maybe not.  I've been away, came back and got very sick, still sick, and have to leave again at the start of next week.  My comprehension and capacity to notice things are deeply impaired.  And it's still winter here.  Sigh.

He may have been a prosecutor but he's really not much as a lawyer in the courtroom or a legal strategist.

What we are seeing, as with Cohen's very public scene with russian mobsters, smoking cohibas, when he was supposed to be in court, signaling to the russians he wasn't going to flip ... anyway we're seeing ever tighter convergence of the russian corruption that Cohen was / is in past his eyebrows.  There is no way he won't flip.

Giuliani is the bottom of the barrel, really. Orangeade never gave him a post to start with, which Giuliani wiggled and wagged and begged for all through the campaign, and expected he get. After all that, this is the only way he's getting close to the squat glass of tang.

IN THE MEANTIME, he's totally wrapped up in the e-mails, the corruption, the campaign -- how can he be in court with all that weight?

But, as a wit observed, "It takes a follicle challenged old white guy to fully appreciate another follicle challenged old white guy."

It's nice that Giuliani is joining up with the rest of the useless dead-enders drawn to the stench of Trump's corruption. Will make it that much easier to sweep them up in the next round of FBI raids.

Will the RNC be fair game in a RICO case?

I've got a friend with government/law enforcement connections who swears this is the case, and that guys like Ryan and McConnell have already been rolled up in secret. I fervently hope he's right but I won't hold my breath.

That would actually make a shit ton of sense in full tinfoil hat mode. Ryan's jumping ship and just refuses to mention Trump like either a coward or a guy who's a witness in a widespread fraud case or both. And McConnel's curmudgeon refusal to take up legislation to protect Mueller could be seen as resignation to the impending imprisonment of half his political apparatus and a desire to avoid upsetting the lamb before slaughtering it if you squint hard enough.

I heard a thing on NPR last week about the pork and soybeans.  No one is happy about Drumpfs alleged tarriffs

That seems like wishful thinking.

Perhaps the worst part of all of this is that nothing much the RNC is doing seems to be illegal. It's even possible that for all of the horrible things Drumpf is doing, none of it is illegal. The notion that the President is possibly above the law unless impeached is pretty much making him immune to any repercussions of what he does. And so the RNC protects him, knowing that as long as he isn't actually charged, they haven't - to the letter of the law - done anything illegal.
