2017 will be remembered as the year you were guilty until proven innocent and a single uninvestigated allegation got you fired.

I would say it’s relevant if he deceived his current employer. Otherwise not.

I remember reading about the Google executive who had a fling with heroin and a prostitute. He died that way. I guess that is part of the culture in Silicon Valley. Normal sex is for squares.

I’m not defending anyone. I just find it odd that with a sexual allegation we’re now in the reversal of the normal “innocent until proven guilty”.

The liberal pigs being outed now are not being blasted out because of unproven allegations. They are proven.

The lib machine does have an mo to take out conservative leaders with false allegations. This is libs taking out libs. May the dominos keep falling.

Replace the words "The human species" with "American Leftism", and I'd agree with you entirely.

They always have been that way...wishing to expiate their own secret guilt by attacking and destroying someone else.

And at the same time, the year in which the results of dozens of investigations which previously verified allegations and were then bribed to go away suddenly reappeared.

Allowing this latter state of affairs to build up fo so many decades made the former a possibility.

It doesn’t seem that many of these people are denying the allegations. If you were being railroaded in this way, wouldn’t your first move be a public denial?

There is an important point being missed.

All of these me are very rich and (were) powerful.

A single allegation is NOT going to bring them down unless true and unless they know there are more victims of their lecherous ways.

If these allegations were not true wouldn’t they be fighting them?

Look how Trump and Moore responded. They were outraged and stood up to the allegations.

I am beginning to think someone with a lot of money has been spending time gathering information on many of these rich (progressives).

The swamp is being drained.

That's true.

But the creed of the American Left is that the the supposed victim, the accuser, is always right (except in the 30-year history of the Clintons).

The first rule, as formulated by Hillary and company, is not the validity of the charge, but its seriousness.

Someone like Matt Lauer has spent decades hurling slurs and accusations at those he disagrees with.

Now he is in the position of his former opponents: for him to deny is not only evidence of his guilt, it is also proof of his inability to repent.
