Shattuck: Nancy Pelosi’s dem double standard
The Boston Herald ^ | 11-27-17 | Tom Shattuck

Posted on 11/27/2017 2:19:42 AM PST by calvincaspian

Yesterday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared “zero tolerance” on sexual misconduct.

So, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) — who used more than $27,000 in taxpayer dollars to settle a complaint that an employee was fired for refusing his sexual advances — is toast, right?

Wrong. In the past few weeks a multitude of loopholes have emerged to give cover to badly behaving Dems. Pelosi yesterday used a loophole trifecta for Conyers on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“We are strengthened by due process. Just because someone is accused — and was it one accusation? Is it two?” Pelosi said. “John Conyers is an icon in our country,” and finally, “He has done a great deal to protect women.”

But Pelosi’s in good company. U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren — her party’s national standard bearer — last week pushed aside punishment for Al Franken and refocused in bizarre hypotheticals with “shift managers” and “jerks” in accounting, blathering “when the shift manager decides that maybe giving the good shifts only to women who will play sex games back in the dressing room is not a good idea, and when the jerk over in accounting decides that pressing up against women who are caught at the photocopying machine might not be smart, and when the boss decides that telling those dirty jokes and talking about who’s got great boobs and a killer ass better rethink his management strategy ... then we’ll know there’s been real change.”

Real change indeed. But not in Washington, D.C., where crime and punishment are determined by your party line.

Where is the due process for Roy Moore?

Congers had due process through the absurd congressional system. He chose to pay the accuser off the books by having her paid while not showing up to work. Abuse of taxpayer funds.

Love that Dems are being exposed by all this as the frauds they are.

TigerClaws :" Love that Dems are being exposed by all this as the frauds they are."

Conyers - a proven paper trail
Moore - allegations and nothing more by DemonRAT operative Gloria Allred
Funny how all the clamor dies down after the election
and the alleged complainants all disappear into the woodwork.

The scripted plan was to bring out the Trump accusers next year with Russiagate boomeranging on Dems.
.
The new rules were to be always believe the women and man must resign.

Then Frankenstein happened. Now Conyers.

“Then Frankenstein happened. Now Conyers.”

They out to be thankful for the holiday weekend. Now we have the semi-conscious time between the two biggest holidays of the year but there is tremendous growing pressure to make public who started the slush fund and who is listed on it. Furthermore, how it keeps going is at hand as well. I really think this will come to a head once the Moore vote is out of the way because if he wins, there will be a lot of worn out trails going up the hills.

There are always loopholes to cover badly behaving Dems.
In fact, the rules are ALWAYS different for Democrats. No matter what was said, done, or whatever the bad deed is.

Pelosi talks about an alternative "due process" for Conyers but draining the swamp of Conyers would be due process for the American people.

I saw Pelousi on TV this morning. It’s pretty obvious she has dementia.

“always believe the women”

It’s not that I don’t want to believe them. It’s my personal experience with the liars that have ruined it for me.

“loopholes have emerged to give cover to badly behaving “......

I have a strong suspicion that there are a lot of republican law makers that have “crossed the line” and due to our government paying off their victims, those politicians are being “blackmailed” (shall we say) by demodummies. Ever wonder why the rino’s seem to go along with the demodummies?

Dems live by only one standard: the double standard. They aren’t even ashamed to show their extreme bias and unfairness.

Some lawmakers - and justices, are clearly being blackmailed.

Dems don't want THOSE to come out, because then they lose their leverage.
