It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

Is her point being fairly investigated?

Maybe? Can’t really speak to that.

Doesn’t seem that way to me, maybe I’m missing something. The fact that prominent offenders are behind bars is good as a start at least. Plenty more to consider.
Alyssa Milano responded to Tara Reade. "I believe you Tara Reade, but I still support Biden".

The feminist left went from "Believe all women" to "Believe all women and elect their rapists".

R.I.P. Me too

For the record, I don't think Joe raped anyone.
whether it's under the metoo label or not...i hope that support for survivors of abuse, and punishment for those that victimized them, goes farther than a few celebrities and politicians/political pundits.

Will be interesting to see the long term effect on workplace harassment, if there is any.

To me that’s what really counts as fairness. I would prefer this was settled out of the public eye either way because it feels uncomfortable to see people demonizing her when facts are still being established, but I’m also not surprised people are a bit up in arms because the weird change in story and cancelled Fox interview when the official complaints document showed there was no mention of sexual harassment or assault is weird to me. It’s the kind d of thing we should be spared as her allegation is investigated fairly and properly.

Agreed. But people can’t help themselves and everyone is looking to score points for their team, so we’ll get a lot of people jumping the gun and trying to shape perceptions. It’s pretty fucked up but not surprising with how much is riding on his candidacy.

It's nowhere to be found on youtube, so if I ever resort to posting a Facebook link, you know it's gonna be good.

Governor @GavinNewsom
of California won’t let restaurants, beaches and stores open, but he installs a voting booth system in a highly Democrat area (supposed to be mail in ballots only) because our great candidate, @MikeGarcia2020
, is winning by a lot. CA25 Rigged Election!

When you control the game, watch the puppet masters work.

Thankfully they're tampering with voting laws to ensure the election goes in their favor.

Which is why this is such a joke. He's got no shot. Focus on getting us back the fuck out to work, Newsom.

Still wild to me that the only Democrat to win this district in 70 years blew it by fucking her entire campaign staff. Idiot.

Wild is that's not surprising in the slightest, to me.
