democrats asked for this and they are getting it. Bigly. They blasted Trump for things he said to Billy Bush which were supposed to be private. They thought they had him. They made a yuge issue of it. A referendum was held and the voters spoke. Trump prevailed.
Then came Harvey Weinstein.
And the oceans loomed. The accusations trickled out at first and have only grown in volume. They have reached tsunami level and have swamped primarily the protected gated enclave of DNCville.
And it is nothing less than a pleasure to watch this spectacle.
That sanctimonious dirtbag Al Franken says he won't resign despite saying Anthony Weiner's resignation was "the right thing to do."
He (Vitter) was reelected by the people of Louisiana so I think he should still be in the Senate. I do think there was a bit of sort of weird hypocrisy with such loud calling for Weiner’s resignation in light of the circumstances which there was all this visual evidence which was unpleasant to see… and obviously what he did I thought was.. um.. you know…. I think that his resig.., I think resigning was probably the right thing to do. But, there’s a lot of, guess what, hypocrisy there.At Mediaite there was some whining about Franken not really committing "grope-grope" as the imbecilic Whoopi Goldberg might say, but the media fails to recall that Franken shoved his tongue down Leann Tweeden's throat, which is sexual assault, i.e. penetration.
Then there's John Conyers, the "icon", who apparently has a history of taking advantage of women:
Deanna Maher says that while she was chief of staff for Conyers from 1997 to 2005, the congressman propositioned her three times, which included unwanted touching and inappropriate advances in a speeding car.Nancy Pelosi has quick to rush to Conyers' defense but apparently got cold feet as more accusers surfaced. She was at first willing to give Conyers a pass on his abuse of women because of his "iconic" status. Now she's not so sure icons are worth throwing yourself on the fire and we're back to the "believing women" thing:The first incident occurred in 1997, shortly after she had been hired, during a Congressional Black Caucus event. “I didn’t have a room, and he had me put in his hotel suite,” Maher said. She rejected his offer to share his Washington, D.C. Grand Hyatt hotel suite and have sex.
Conyers, who is now 88, then touched her without her consent in a car in 1998 while driving to the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
“He was trying to feel me up with his right hand,” Maher said. “I kept pushing his hand away. Then he put his hand on my neck and started trying to tickle me. We were on I-75, and he was driving erratically. I was saved by the bell because we got pulled over by the police for the way he was driving.”
Conyers touched her legs under her dress in 1999 at a meeting with pastors in Highland Park. Conyers “put his hand up my dress and whispered in my ear, ‘I didn’t know you had such great legs.'” Maher said.
“This afternoon, I spoke with Melanie Sloan who worked for Congressman Conyers on the Judiciary Committee in the mid-1990s,” Pelosi said in the statement. “Ms. Sloan told me that she had publicly discussed distressing experiences while on his staff. I find the behavior Ms. Sloan described unacceptable and disappointing. I believe what Ms. Sloan has told me.”We're now at the number five vis-a-vis Conyers accusers and we're nowhere near done.
Another loud mouth Trump critic, Rep. Al Green slept with a allegedly drug addicted staffer, perhaps because she was compromised:
Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green had sex with a staffer who he said was a drug addict and then sued her when she threatened to go public with claims she suffered a hostile work environment, saying he “will not be extorted or blackmailed.”Then he sued her.Lucinda Daniels, his onetime district director, claimed she suffered a hostile work environment, claimed sexual harassment and demanded $1.8 million. Green sued her, saying she was using their sexual relationship to shake him down at the behest of other unnamed conspirators.
Then there's another big mouth from the South, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva. He used $50,000 of taxpayer money to shut up a victim of the hostile environment allegedly Grijalva created:

Somewhere upstream from culture and downstream from sexuality, a dam has burst. Of course, if no one gets legally punished for anything, we only got the haha from the brouhaha.
Whole lotta schadenfreude goin’ on out there.
The dam that has finally broken is the Progressive control and dominance in the media.
The reason is simple. The Progressives controlled the media, for all practical purposes, for about 35 years, 1960 to 1995. It was mostly semi-consciously through dominating leftist ideology through that period.
After the Republican revolution in 1994, their belief that everyone thought as they did (or at least a very strong majority of “people that mattered”) was shattered, and they became openly, aware, partisan hacks. They deliberately traded credibility for political power. That lasted another 20 years, but their power was waning, with most of the power being focused on national elections for president and senators.
With the election of Donald Trump, their credibility account has been shown to be bankrupt. With social media and alternatives to the establishment media, such as Fox and talk radio, they no longer dominate.
Because they no longer dominate, the scandals they routinely were able to spike, cannot be spiked any longer. The dam has been broken. I do not think they will be able to stem the flood.
The Ministry of Propaganda hoisted on their own petard.
This hysteria was initiated by Hillary Clinton’s insistence that DJT had harassed her. Women wanted to show their solidarity with Clinton by sharing their experiences. The only problem is they were all assaulted by Democratic supporters...liberals.
How many big time conservatives have made the press for sexual assault? Bill Cosby comes to mind, but after that I’m stumped. But think back to decades of Woody Allen and Roman Polanski and others of their liberal ilk. The count must be hundreds of liberal assaulters to...what? one or two conservatives? We should all send a big, unwanted kiss to Hillary Clinton, the gift that won’t shut up.
Sometimes a storm is the best way to clean out a swamp...
All these guys are icons of perfect masculinity as far as liberal American women are concerned. I relish their shock and disappointment.
Democrap femino-nazis continue to destroy their own!
Anti Trumper Garrison Keiller was fired from Lake Woebegon today for sexual harassment, according to Minnesota Public Radio!
**********************************************
“I put my hand on a woman’s bare back,” he wrote. “I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches. She recoiled. I apologized. I sent her an email of apology later and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it.”
Mr. Keillor claimed that they continued to be friends “right up until her lawyer called.”

Lake Woebegon where all the women are beautiful, the men horny, and the children above average.
I swear, we have embarked on a new age of “Puritanism.”
No longer will we be forced to hide our daughters!/S
I don't know where history is going to pinpoint the start of progressivism, but in my mind it started around GWB election, not 1960. Pre Progressives were just called liberals, and there used to be some democrats, now it's just progressives and liberals.
I enjoy watching the leftists in the media, Hollywood, and the government fall as much as the rest of you, but let’s not lose sight of due process and innocent until proven guilty.
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Thank You.
I have no problem with people who are actually guilty of real offenses being brought to task; but I get a creepy feeling when I see a frenzy like this, and men condemned and ruined through public opinion, and not through Proof.

When did bill Cosby become conservative?
Lest we forget, the left gleefully denounced God and Israel at the 2012 DNC convention, right in front of our faces on national TV. Did they really expect things to end well for them?
“When did bill Cosby become conservative?”
He was outspoken about the need for blacks to work, get married, pull their pants up...And, he was hated by liberals.
I have to admit, I didn’t follow much of anything he did one way or another. I just glossed over the headlines.
