For the wife example, however grudgingly you did indeed consent. So that's not the same as "lack of consent"
I think this is the line being discussed. HereandGone is interpreting her actions as being closer to "begrudging consent". The problem with
Lack of consent is the literal difference between rape and not rape.
is that, particularly among people who have an existing, ongoing sexual relationship, that line can get blurry.

Not so far as I'm aware. Actually border encounters are down over 95%, so there really isn't anything to add to the total of actual "taking people who are here illegally and sending them home" numbers.

without the consent of the victim.
I think HereandGone is implying a sort of tacit consent. I don't consent to my cat laying me and clawing at my belly... but I don't do much more than call him an asshole and then scratch his ears. I've personally been on the receiving end of similar sexual behavior, and calling it rape feels like it seriously devalues the concept. I was not "forced against my will", I was "annoyed by a drunk wife until I decided that getting her off was the quickest path to getting back to sleep".

If he drops out of the race before July 13th, the Democrat Party of Maine gets to pick a replacement, which would almost certainly be the sitting governor that Platner beat for the nomination by default after she stopped campaigning.
That's why the Reps have been heavily hinting that they have killshot levels of dirt that only come out after it's too late to replace him.
If they're lying, and Collins just baited the Dem establishment, it would be a legendary act of dirty politics.

The national party is losing the fundraising race badly
This is misleading. Dems funnel all their money from billionaires and foreigners through assorted informal and dark money webs. Expect them to outspend Reps anyway.

Still looks deleted even in new reddit. Weird. And now I feel dirty.

That appears to go to a deleted post from 14 years ago?

we didn’t have a bunch of right wing political colleagues asking Kavanaugh to withdrawal after the allegation was made the way Platner right now is
No, the Republicans all just spent months "very seriously" investigating an obvious farce that was obviously drummed up for obvious political reasons. As opposed to Platner, who already had allegations (lesser, yes, but also purported the current one) being swept under the rug by the NYT.

The department store bike is going to be built with extreme cost-cutting measures and is likely to malfunction relatively quickly, at which point the unsuspecting customer is faced with a repair bill that amounts to a significant percentage of the bikes cost and a warning from the mechanic that it's likely to fail again in short order.
An important factor here is that most of those bikes are being bought for kids who are expected to grow enough to need a new one in a few years anyway. It's the same reason you don't buy them expensive formal clothing they'll wear maybe twice before outgrowing it. Investing in quality might have made sense when you had a pack of 8, and could expect the same size bike to service 3-5 kids, but if Modern Couple has a boy and a girl and lives 500 miles from any potential younger cousins, then that's that.
You're still assuming the situation can be resolved into a binary state. She herself might not have a consistent take on if she begrudgingly tolerated sex with an intermittent partner of known sexual forwardness, or was raped. And even if she did ultimately decide it was easier to just fuck him and kick him out in the morning, that doesn't mean his behavior wasn't shitty and wrong. But if he'd done the same thing a half dozen times before and found her more receptive (perhaps after a token "No, it's late, you shouldn't"), then that would make his behavior (and hers!) more understandable.
