She did not disclose what members of Congress have been accused of sexual misconduct.

It would be nice to get those records and expose every democrat and every republican on the list. We need to drain the Swamp, and that includes all the predators, not just the predators who admit to being on the other side from decent Americans.

"She did not disclose what members of Congress have been accused of sexual misconduct."

What a surprise. I'm not holding my breath. Until we see names and proof, it's all a show.

And people heckled and made fun of Pence when he stated that he never went to an event or social function without his wife in attendance.

I do the same and would not ever be in a room alone with another woman. But I guess I am a misogynist too. (And deathly paranoid)

That doesn’t include the regular government workers. That is billions and they keep their jobs while splitting the proceeds between accuser and accused. Scam.

Or this:

According to the findings of a 2006 investigation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), more than 250 civilian and military employees of the Department of Defense were found to have bought child pornography online using credit cards or PayPal to make their purchases. ICE, in its investigation, found that some of those allegedly guilty of making the purchases possessed the highest available security clearance.

Are those the Pentagon folks now having us use tax dollars to pay for ‘gender reassignment’ (mutilation more like it) surgeries? Obama’s Generals? Why were the charges dropped against these people?

They didn’t start it, but Fox News Bimbos and Harvey Weinstein opened the flood gates. Now all that any opportunistic female need do is claim harassment and collect a big check.

Rule #1: Avoid and do not speak to any woman not your wife — at home, in public, at work.

Rule #2: Remember Rule #1.

And who remembers the feminist outcry when Mike Pence told people that he followed something similar to what you mentioned in your post. The jokes write themselves with these people, big time.

Let’s face it, folks. The entire United States Government is a corrupt den of evil, traitorous, amoral vipers.

It should be dissolved and a new government instituted by the people founded on our original Declaration and Constitution.

Lessee, congress is immune from Obamacare and the entire Administrative State. Now we find out that it’s sexual victims are denied equal protection of the laws.

What a racket.

This isn’t free government. These people do not represent us, or act in the best interests of the nation.

I’m not onboard for dissolution, but the peaceful path to reform is right in front of us - Article V.

I had a 22 year old mormon working for me. We were working out of town and he needed to be back a few days early. I told him my wife could come and get him and bring him back the next Monday. He said he could not do that since it was standard procedure that a single man is never alone with a married woman. He spent 12 hours on a bus instead.

Ah, but if you follow Rule #1 at work, you may avoid the harrassment lawsuit, but not the anti-discrimination lawsuit if your anti-social behavior can be seen as locking women out of opportunities for advancement.

The only solution under this setup is for all men to play Jack Tripper.

I’d like to see John McCain go away sooner rather than later.
