We all know why.

Accusations against Republicans are treated one way, and accusations against Democrats are swept under the rug.

Just maybe they’re silent because they want to get a part of it. Desperate women...desperate times. Just sayin’...

It's all politics, boys and girls.

Just like the corona response, and most everything else.

Well, think on this.

The short list dare not come to Biden’s support because it will be double damning when their harassment sins are exposed

I would love to hear “Heels Up Harris’” take on the sexual misconduct allegations against Slo Joe.
