As well as new tiers that I have also incredible offerings there where I'm going to be scheduling monthly deep dives into the election on Zoom, where I'm going to have quarterly ask Me Anything Zoom meetings where you can in

fact ask me anything, and so much more. So, head over to Patreon dot com and sign up and subscribe to one of the amazing tier offerings that are there all right, let's get this fucked Friday started, dear friends. So first off, I got a couple of news stories that I've written that I want to run through because

you know, there's been this trend going around. I don't know if it started on TikTok or if it started on Instagram, but it was like a question that was asked to women, who would you prefer to be stranded I guess in the woods with a bear or a man? And the questions the responses to that question were extraordinary, where women largely chose to be stranded in the woods with a bear as opposed to a man that could

potentially sexually assault them. I was out fucking done because I think that misogyny, toxic masculinity is so pervasive in our culture that men don't get it. Like, I really don't think that men understand what women have to deal

with on a regular basis, right. And I was actually in conversation with my dad recently because we were talking about, you know, apartment shopping and you know, things that when I'm looking to move need to take into consideration that him, as a man, would never have to take into consideration. For instance, I, as a woman living in the city.

I want to live in the safest neighborhood possible, safe at all times of day and night, right because if I'm getting out of an uber in the middle of the night, like, do I want to have certain elements like around me. I have to think about my self protection. I have to think about well lit streets. I have to think about security in so many different ways that a man all they have to think about is like, Oh, that apartment looks great, Maybe I'll get it because I

can afford it. Women have to think about so much more and like it takes up so much space in our brains. You're walking down the street, right, you're headed to a car, Do you have your keys ready in your hand? Are you looking around to make sure that nobody is following you? If somebody hollers at you on the street, hey girl, hey, or you look nice, right, you need to find a way to be both kind and maybe give a little smile but not too much that they want to approach, but not be too mean

so that they don't stab you. Like it's wild right to be a woman in this country, and so you would think in twenty twenty four, when a man is stepping up to give a commencement speech that he would recognize the reality of what women deal with and also, I don't know, be a part of this century. But apparently that is not what Harrison Butker, who is a Kansas City chiefs kicker, did when he went to Benedictine College.

So this motherfucker, Like, I watched the clips, y'all, and I was just like, what kind of in cel like right wing propagandic bullshit is this. So you're looking out at an audience right, filled with both men and women who have just finished a huge hurdle in their lives, which is graduating from college. You are filled with excitement about, well, I hope, excitement about what is next for you in

your life. You've just had this major achievement, and your university in college says, let us bring in somebody that will inspire you as you head into this next chapter.

So they bring in the Kansas City chiefs Kicker, who then begins to beraid women and tell them that the greatest achievement that they can have is as a homemaker, right, and beraid the LGBTQ community and say that that is just filled with sin, right, Like, this motherfucker went off on women, on queer people, on train people, and since then his team and the NFL have tried to distance themselves from him, And I'm thinking to myself, well, at

least he didn't kneel on the sidelines silently to protest, you know, the killing of unarmed black people, because then he would be fucking blacklisted, kicked off of his team, lose his life savings, right, and like have to rebuild his life not doing his passion. Thank god for that. He just decided to berat a bunch of women, degrade the LGBTQ community and still gets paid four million dollars a year. Right, but just get say, oh, shake of

the hand. His actions don't represent us. But somebody kneeling and silently protesting before a game, Oh that was outrageous. Give me a fucking break. The hypocrisy is disgusting, right, I'm so sick and tired of the faux outrun age over people protesting for freedom, for justice, for liberation of subjugated communities. But then you have a motherfucker like this Harrison person who wants to get up and go on a homophobic, misogynistic, transphobic rant, and you still have a job.

Make it make sense to me, right, because in this country we want people from marginalized communities to shut the fuck up and just be grateful what that we're not in shackles, right, be grateful that we're not shot at on a regular basis, right and beaten, and like have to step off of the curb to allow white people to pack. Like, I just don't understand. I want some actions taken against this man for what he did, but

there won't be. Maybe he'll get quote unquote canceled by people who didn't want want to fuck with him anyway or even know who he was, but he will be uplifted by the right wing as like you know, a major celebrity and probably run for office someday. Like that's how these people fail forward. Meanwhile, if you protest at your college, if you march in the streets for justice,

you're labeled anti Semitic, a terrorist or worse. It's bullshit that man, goodbye, sir, And I appreciate all of the women that have made tons of TikTok videos mocking the fuck out of him. And in a world of what do they say? In a world of Harrison Bucker's b Travis Kelcey right, who is not intimidated by a strong, powerful woman. Now. I may not like Taylor Swift's music, but like she got somebody that isn't a misogynistic pig.

And I think that more men should come out and speak against actions and rhetoric like this so that all men are not painted with the same broadwatching can say, especially those that are in celebrity positions, higher positions, and be like, the fuck is wrong with this dude? Right? Because that would go a long way. Let's switch over to some actual politics, which is the debates that are

going to be coming up. I spoke about this yesterday a bit, and you know there are some folks that you know, had some commentary and are calling what Joe Biden and his campaign are doing daring. So Frank Brune wrote in The New York Times, Biden's daring debate proposal could recharge his campaign. And I'll say what I said yesterday again, No one's minds are changed by anymore. That is not like the universe that we live in. I remember,

you know that years and years and years ago. Sure, if you had a flub, that could mean the end of your campaign. But apparently if you're indicted, you know, four times with ninety two charges like that doesn't stop people from voting for you. So me having a stutter moment at a debate will, like, give me a fucking break. I think that largely people are either have made up their minds right or are not going to check in for many many months until right before the election unfortunately.

But do I think that Joe Biden pushing Donald Trump to agree to a debate so that if he backs out of it, he's the one that looks like a punk, right, I think that that's a good move. I also think that it's a good move to push the debates earlier before the election, and also to not have a studio audience, because I think that again, Donald Trump plays to a studio audience to get their applause and will fill it with a bunch of fucking maga right wing assholes. So

I think that not having an audience is great. But I'll go back to saying what I said yesterday, which is that if you actually wanted to get to the there there of a candidate's agenda and what they plan to do, then you would host a series of town halls. You would do fireside chats, but debates. Debates are like going on television, you know, trying to unpack a complex you know, subject matter, and you're giving ninety seconds to

do it with two panelists and a host. Like there's not a lot of time to be able to showcase like the importance of an issue or where you are on it. Debates are purely about entertainment, right, Like they don't actually offer you anything. And at this point, if you don't know Biden and you don't know Trump, then I guess you've been living under a rock. So those

are my thoughts on that. Let me switch gears to what I'm referring to as you know, these fucking clowns, these Republicans that are showing up at Donald Trump's criminal trial, his election interference trial in New York. And I said it yesterday with these fucking minions that showed up, like what are they cosplaying folks? They all had on their red ties and their cheap black suits and their cheap white shirts to like show their support for Donald Trump.

They look fucking stupid, right, And now you have showing up at the courthouse Lauren Bobert right seating right on the as the media said the crime seat in the aisle right behind Donald Trump, so that she can be in all of what you know, the still pictures and the little cartoon drawings that they're doing inside of the courtroom. Matt Gates is there, and like other fucking election denying

idiots are there. Like Donald Trump's own fucking family outside of Eric who gives a fuck about him, have not shown up to support this man at this election interference trial. But these pick me, pick me Republicans are showing up there so that what they can be in the running for VP or be on Trump's good side and get what a suite at mar A Lago and some gaudy fucking room. Like these people are so fucking disgusting and unserious, Like they're just unserious. They don't care about the state

of this country. They don't care about their constituents. They care about being on the good side of their wanna be dictator and authoritarian so that what you can get some type of bullshit role inside of the administration if in fact, the American people allowed this man to have a second term, which I cannot stress enough. I don't care how fucking angry you are with Biden. I am just as angry with Biden. But do you know what

I'm not gonna do. I'm not gonna put my future on the fucking line and not vote for him and give Donald Trump just a fucking rolling out the red carpet, give him carte blanche over the country. Not gonna do that at all. But I look at these people showing up, and You're just like, how much more can you debase yourself? How much more of a loser can you show yourself to be? Right? But here's the thing what I want people to really pay attention to and take away from

with regard to this trial. And I've said I said it this week on Democracy Ish, which drops on Thursdays. And if you're not listening to Democracy Ish with my friend wahah hot that comes out weekly, then you're sorely missing out. So do check that show out that drops on Thursdays every week. But here's the thing, this is

what I said. There's a reason why this case is important, and it isn't because of the salacious nature of the fact that Donald Trump fucked a porn star, paid her off with election funds right while he was president of the United States, right, and is caught on tape by his own lawyer, Michael Cohen, saying that this is very, very bad for the election, and Cohen saying that he would handle it. Right. This isn't just a quote unquote hush money case. It is a case about election interference.

If this was just a case of Donald Trump being a cheater, right, then it wouldn't really matter, right, because what you do in your private life and how you cheat on your wife and disrespect them, that's on you, right. The reason why you know, people want to like compare this to Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones. That's not the fucking thing. Bill Clinton was a serial cheater, right, Like, we can say that and know that to be true.

Bill Clinton did not try and buy off the people that he was having an affair with when he was president of the United States in order to not have that information come off. Right. Bill Clinton, when he was running for his first and second term, did not use

campaign funds in order to silence people. He did not try and manipulate the media in the way that Donald Trump was in cahoots with the National Inquirer to not only smear his opponents but also block the stories of these multiple women, because there are two right that he slept with while his wife was giving birth. So there's difference here. This isn't a trial about sex, right because who cares. I don't care who Donald Trump sleeps with it As a matter of fact, I want no image

of that in my mind. But what I do care about is that we have election laws for a reason, so that criminals and grifters are not able to hold public office, and that if you are found to have violated campaign finance laws and election laws, you are held accountable for those crimes. That is what this trial is about. Michael Cohen served time in jail because of interfew hearing in an election using campaign funds to pay off a

porn star. So if he went to jail, then why is it that the person who told him and directed him to do that dirt is allowed to run free. So while I of course would have preferred any other trial to go forward, this is also a meaningful trial. But as people are saying, there may be in fact a hung jury right that comes back, which in fact would be a win for Donald Trump. Anything other than a conviction is going to be a win for Donald Trump.

And so That's why this case is iffy, because if the prosecution does not do their job to expressly state to the jewelry, whether they wait until their closing remarks to do so, but to expressly state this trial is not about sex, it is not about affairs. It is about violating campaign finance law. It is about rigging an election that was really fucking close in favor of Donald Trump.

Because I want to just remind people that what had already come out about Donald Trump the October before the election was the Access Hollywood tapes where Donald Trump said famously, when you're a star, they just let you do it. You can even grab them by the pussy. Now, what Donald Trump didn't want added on to that tape that was lead was more information about Donald Trump paying off women to shut the fuck up and a series of affairs that he had. Now imagine it is October of

twenty sixteen. Calmy has just decided to, for whatever reason, reopen the investigation to thwart Hillary Clinton's ability to clench

the White House. But that would have been blocked out by the fact that not only do we have these Access Hollywood tapes, but now we have two women, two porn stars that are telling us that Donald Trump tried to kill their stories right and pay them off, and we would have had a even clearer picture of who this man was because it wouldn't have just been one incident. It now would have been three. But none of this was allowed to come out because they suppressed those stories

in order to steal an election. And I use the words steal because when you lie to the electorate and they don't have all of the information to make a decision, a confident and clear decision in an election, you steal their rights and you lie. So this case is about election interference. And I would love it if every Democrat would come out and say so very clearly. This isn't

about sex, right. This is about quieting people, silencing people so that you can win an election, and worrying about the consequences of that payoff later when you were president and you have even more power to bigfoot people. That is what Donald Trump did. That is what he directed Michael Cohen to do. That is what this trial is about.

This man. It is so sickening to me that with less than two hundred days until an election, that this man, this serial misogynist, this man that was found guilty of rape and defamation. This man that stole documents and said right their mind, and I don't have to give them back.

This man that is unstable, that is said that he wants to be a dictator on day one, that says that he's going to throw student protesters out of the country, that he's going to deport eleven million people, That he is going to direct our military and police force into those positions that are only held by the National Guard. That this man is going to shred what is left of our constitution, weaponize the military against its own people. Is within arm's length of the White House. We cannot,

we cannot let this happen. Reserve whatever anger, judgment, and frustration that you have for Joe Biden, knowing that you will still have the right to protest this man. You will still have the right to pull his feet to the fire. But if we lose what is left of our constitution and our civil liberties because we decide to use this election of all elections as our protest vote, oh dear friends, dear friends, it will be the end.

And that is not me being hyperbolic. It is me just painting a very clear picture of where we are in America. That is it for me today, dear friends, on Woke f and on this glorious fuck it Friday. As I said at the top of the show, the Damn Shop is open. Head over to Danielle Moody dot com and check out the Future is Woke that you can see on my T shirt right now, my capsule collection that I have launched, T shirts, sweatshirts and more.
