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:

It begins to dawn that if the ‘rats had anything concrete and devastating on any conservative/Republican it would have been all over the news by now in pure self-defense - the libs own this one completely.....
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.
I would normally agree with your statement except for two points in these current accusations.
1. They are being made against rich powerful men who have the resources to fight false allegations.
2 The fact that most seem to either admit their wrong doing or just they just accept the accusation would allow us to assume they are in fact true.
The one common theme that comes out afterwards is the report that people close to the individuals are not surprised and everybody was aware of what was going on.
Your right,they voted against God.I heard boo’s for the vote in favor of God.They recently came out in favor of abortion as did the NAACP.
But the common *effect* is going to be many other opportunist women getting on the ‘bandwagon’; the public becoming inured, believing that every man does this; and who knows where and how it will end?
I’m uncomfortable with the tenor of the whole thing. The first one accused and damaged in this recent round seems to have been a pretty good man from Alabama. Other good men are going to be caught up in this, too.
This is all happening now in order to get a woman elected POTUS in 2020. Doesn’t matter who she is, just that she be a woman (but not a transgender; that is still a few election cycles away).
The answer to that is to fight back.
We still have libel and slander laws.
Take them to court and make them prove their accusation.
“Giant of the Senate”......go home like a good little boy Al.
What if they don’t have the resources?
My point has been that this is becoming a witch-hunt which will reverberate throughout our culture/society. It won’t just hit the people – good or bad – at the “top”, who have the resources to fight. Tactics like this have been used against good men, in smaller circles, for decades, now.
My initial response to TwelveofTwenty was in gratitude for his point about the Rule of Law. When, in our frenzy, we forget one of the most basic and profound principles of our legal system (presumption of innocence) our entire system and one of its most important guarantors of Freedom, begin to fail.
(It doesn’t matter that these accusations/condemnations of individuals happen to serve political aims of the moment.)
Read about FDR.
Had you ever heard of William F. Buckley, Jr.? Your recap of American political history leads me to believe the answer is no.
Then there was the Republican counter-revolution of 1995 when they realized - yeeehaaa! - that they didn't need to keep Gingrich's contract with America and set about getting their fair share of the pork - and lookkee where we all are to day.
Buckley was a very minor player in the media at the time.
He did a fair amount with what little he had. Better than nothing, for certain. He helped keep some conservative ideas alive.
National Review was one minor political magazine.
Consider his influence on society compared to Time, Look, NewsWeek, even Reader’s Digest and National Geographic.
The buffoonish Antonio Villaraigosa was chairing the Convention when the Democrats booed God. Even that clown couldn’t believe it was happening.
Stood there in awe.They wished their wish.
I believe they aren’t fighting the assertions because the situations have a basis in reality. The perverts are VERY monied so they can afford the best attorneys . Why not fight then?
That’s how it seems today.
But be prepared for the inevitable blowback.
(And think about the future, and all of the ‘little’ people caught in the larger process.)

go the 1:50 mark and you enjoy the fun again, as hapless Tony Villaraigosa loses control of the vote and both he and God get shouted down... probably a very rare instance of of the two being on the same side....
