It would be really rich if the accuser was given a “fair hearing” and as a result, is charged with filing a false testimony and perjury!
Let me guess - thye are all Republicans, right?
The Democrats run the new era DNC plantation — but they’re so inept, inefficient and corrupt - they can’t raise a crop or make enough money to feed their new age “slaves” - so rich white Republican males get that task....through our taxes.

Politics
Politically speaking, the area is predominantly Democratic. Durham politics are lively, visible, and often contentious, especially along racial and class lines. The shifting alliances of the area’s political action committees since the 1980s has led to a very active local political scene. Notable groups include the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, the Durham People’s Alliance, and the Friends of Durham. Compared to other similar sized Southern cities, Durham has larger than average population of middle class African-Americans and of college educated white liberals. Working together in coalition, these two groups have dominated city and county politics since the early 1980s.
Key political issues have been the redevelopment of Downtown Durham and poorer areas of the city, as well as growth and development on the suburban edges of the city. School system politics have been particularly divisive since the merger of the Durham City Schools and Durham County Schools in the early 1990s. Some political leaders have played off of long festering racial and socioeconomic issues, especially on the school board, which has been a locus of chronic contention and strife - by no means limited to racial issues.
BTW, Wikipedia discusses the Duke LAX case on the Durham page but neglects to mention that the charges have been dropped.
asarcastic should be sarcastic
Definitely time for bed.
