We have previously discussed how the media and many Democrats have struggled to address not only their largely muted response to the sexual assault allegation against former Vice President Joe Biden but also the support shown Bill Clinton who was accused by a long list of women for everything from sexual harassment to rape. Many have noted that the Clinton allegations were before the “MeToo” movement as if rape allegations were shrugged off in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Many insist that they would oppose him today based on the accounts of these women. The media however continues to contradict these claims by featuring Clinton prominently. Today CNN will feature Clinton as role model for young people across the country as part of a graduation special. A+E Networks Group President Paul Buccieri has announced that the company has given Clinton a series on how presidents show leadership in times of crisis. Clinton was also featured as part of the “Call to Unite” special with Oprah. Thus, despite the spin on the Biden allegations, it really does not matter how many women come forward or a proven case of an affair with a young intern in the White House. Clinton remains someone that the media feels should be emulated by young and old alike.
It seems that the only greater force in American politics than celebrity is hypocrisy. Thousands still flock to hear Clinton speak, including many who have supported the “MeToo” movement and the call to “just believe women.” Many in these audiences no doubt still denounce the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. Appearing on the 7 p.m. program are figures like Amy Schumer who was arrested in protests against Kavanaugh. At the time, Schumer declared “Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault.” She will now appear with a man accused by more women and has a documented history of an affair with a young White House intern and then lying under oath about it (while refuting the statements of “that woman.”).
CNN will air a two-hour, primetime special honoring the class of 2020 and featuring former President Bill Clinton with others. This is the same network that regularly hammered Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his supporters as insulting all victims of assault. When Clinton was raised, CNN hosts and commentators would just say that it was a different time and that, yes, he should have been condemned. Many segments raised why women are not being simply believed in such cases. Now that the Kavanaugh confirmation fight is over, CNN is back to featuring Clinton as a role model.
That is right. Clinton will be doing a series on the importance of character and his effort to preserve “the perfect union.”
For full disclosure, I testified at the Clinton impeachment and maintained that lying under oath is an impeachable offense regardless of the subject matter (here and here). Recently, it was disclosed that Clinton may have also suborned perjury and committed obstruction of justice. None of that matters however.
Elect Joe ‘Two Fingers’ Biden for President- another Rapist rather than a Republican!
FarOut, show us an article that supports Tara Reade’s credibility. Because her past and character have been called into serious question in the past 48 hours.
Captain Lochart is a very busy man. He forgot his name, Paint Chips and now calls himself Roy Coffee.
Tara Reade spoke to a woman in Ted Kennedy’s office immediately after the incident in question. She doesn’t want to come forward, for obvious reasons, but she claims that TR told her about the alleged assault, back in 199, and that Read’s account has not changed over the years. Meghan Kelly’s team spoke with the woman from Kennedy’s office and confirms this, as does Katie Halper.
From the Current Affairs article, linked below:
“Reade also told a friend, a woman who has asked for her name not to be disclosed because she doesn’t want to have her career ruined (but why don’t women report assault, it’s just like, so weird!) This friend—a fellow Senate staffer at the time, working in Ted Kennedy’s office—says that Reade called her immediately after the assault happened in 1993 and told her about it exactly as she’s telling it today. On The Katie Halper Show, you can listen to a full interview with Reade’s anonymous friend. Current Affairs has interviewed the friend as well. She claims she remembers what happened very clearly, and that she and Reade have talked about it over the years. She even says that she discouraged Reade from coming forward, because she was worried about Reade’s safety, and given the death threats she was clearly right. (But why don’t women report assault???)”

The Clintons, both of them, are products of political corruption and organized crime in Arkansas. They should have never been returned to the state house in Little Rock, much less the White House. They are corrupt politicians and liars, and sexual predators (both of them – Hillary is believed by many in Arkansas to be a lesbian.) Americans are foolish to believe anything they say.
Hellary was fired for cause in 1974 by the chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee. He said in subsequent years that over a period of 14 years in that position, he’d employed only three lawyers for whom he’d never give a reference, and she was one. She was a crook before she ever set foot in Arkansas.
As for her husband, his first run for public office was in 1974, his second in 1976. He did not serve much of an apprenticeship. There are 22 elected officials at the apex of state government in Arkansas and six in the state’s congressional delegation. He didn’t bother with an apprenticeship in local office or the state legislature. He started near the top. He wasn’t the issue of Arkansas’ political culture. He was a whole new injection of slime.
Absurd, here you go again attacking real experience in government. Clinton was one of the youngest governors to ever run a state. And the fact that he was a Rhodes Scholar suggests that Clinton was bright enough to be governor at Age 33. He had been the State A G before that.
Yet here you suggest that Clinton should have served time in municipal politics before he made the jump to governor. Yet you support Trump who made the jump to President with even less experience than Clinton had at age 33
July Johnson – Clinton interned for Sen Fulbright of the Fulbright Scholars, who has an in with the Rhodes people. Have you heard Clinton play the sax? Cats sound better mating.
I think Clinton should have taught and practiced law in Fayetteville for 15 years and held p/t elected positions on the municipal council or school board or state legislature, and at that time considered running for a f/t office. (I also think the State of Arkansas has witlessly overpopulated its set of elective offices). I also think Clinton should have found someone he could be loyal to before he got married. If that meant putting off marriage until he was 50 and having a wife 15 or 20 years his junior, so be it. As for Hellary, I think she should have joined a firm in suburban Chicago and kept her political involvements avocational or p/t. I don’t think she’s ever been the marrying kind, but perhaps the personal trajectory of her pal Susan Thomases might have been hers.
Jerry Springer was asked some time ago why he’d gotten out of electoral politics. He said, “I didn’t want to do it as a career. When you’re doing it to put bread on the table, you’ll say anything. Most of these guys haven’t practiced law in 25 years. They’d be incompetent. They go into lobbying because that’s what they know. ” The screens – constitutional, legal, and customary which determine who runs for office should be so structured that a career like Trent Lott’s or Barney
Frank’s quite rare. That observation applies to the Clinton’s as well. I’m pleased to have benevolent retirement programs for elected officials (the situation Harry Truman and John Lindsay were in does not appeal to me), but this obscene buck-raking they do has to stop as much as we can make it stop.
With the Obamas, you have all sorts of oddities because they won an odd lottery that few people do. Status-conscious professional-managerial types wanted them around as window-dressing and then, later as a conduit to influence. So you have two people with odd pseudo-careers until one of them is put in the President’s chair and the other in the East Wing. It doesn’t say much in favor of our professional-managerial set or our voting public that this was possible.
As ever, you fancy having been a ticket-puncher in miscellaneous elected offices (see Obama’s career) is better preparation for the presidency than having spent decades running a large and profitable business. You’re kinda dumb that way.
Putting aside Absurd’s ignoring Obama’s impressive Harvard stint, then professor at U of Chicago, not to mention his command of the issues a president must deal with and obvious superior intellect and coolness under pressure, there is no evidence that Trump is a successful businessman. He’s hiding it and we know that after inheriting his wealth he’s driven numerous businesses in the ground, has a record of ripping off small time employees and subs, customers, and even his own charity, may be in serious debt to foreigners, specifically Russian allies of Putin, and by several analysis would have roughly equivalent wealth to what he claims he has if he’d passively invested his inheritance. Top that with his obvious ignorance, compulsive and constant lying and false bragging, and mean spirited and ugly behavior in public, and one has to wonder about anyone still loyal to him.
Putting aside Absurd’s ignoring Obama’s impressive Harvard stint, then professor at U of Chicago, not to mention his command of the issues
He wasn’t a professor. He was a 40% time lecturer. He produced no scholarly literature, did not (per Richard Epstein) sit on faculty committees or attend faculty meetings, and was never required to stand for tenure. No actual professor has those terms of employment.
Are you seriously offering his time in college as a credential worth discussing? His chops would have been manifest in actually practicing law, which he did for just three years.
You should also learn to differentiate between being knowledgeable with being articulate. We have it on the authority of Jodi Kantor that his staff sent him canned memos with three options. He’s select one and write in some inane marginalia.
Indicative of his actual ‘command of the issues’ was his chatter in late 2008 about Sweden’s emergence from its financial crisis in 1992. Even though this was the most apposite model on the table, he’d learned almost nothing of it, and he says he didn’t think it was applicable because ‘Sweden had, like, five banks’. Sweden at the time had 114 banks. Given their number of households, that would be the equivalent of about 4,000 banks in a country our size. If there was anything he should have been seeking to understand at that time, it was Sweden’s experience. He studied next to nothing.
Book, don’t think for a second that Absurd is just a petty, small town racist. Even though it looks that way, we dont say those things on Turley’s blog.
Now Peter’s name-checking James Hashcookies Pike.
Btb wrote: “obvious superior intellect and coolness under pressure…”
I’ll give you ‘coolness under pressure’…but no way does Barack Obama possess ‘obvious superior intellect.’ Not ‘obvious’ in the least, my man.
Though, from what i hear, Obama excelled at being ‘head of the Choom Gang.’
There’s nothing the matter with his intellect. It just isn’t ‘obviously superior’ among his peers. If it were, you’d see it in his professional publications and in the value law firms placed on his services. Or, you’d see it in the market. You’d also see him building relationships with other federal politicians. You don’t see it.
Brett Kavanaugh had a handsome academic record, clerkships under his belt, time in BigLaw, and twelve years under his belt as an appellate judge. He’s the real deal, Obama the simulacrum.
“Nothing the matter with his intellect”…nope, nothing the matter with it….and also….nothing “obviously superior” about it either….though, the media would have impressionable minds believing otherwise.

“We rate the claim that Hillary Clinton was fired from her job as a staff attorney during the during the Watergate investigation False.”

Of course Absurd, a follower of Trump, is of puny enough mind to have to believe that Obama is a man of low accomplishment.
Yes, but we know the Democratic fact-checker squad is all about political messaging. This is just one example.
Is there a Republican fact-checker squad? A neutral one?
Someone needs to be ‘fact-checking’.
Anonymous – Stephen Crowder fact-checked the fact-checker a couple of times. Pretty funny.
Of course I think Obama is a person of low accomplishment, as does anyone of sense. He had no history in executive positions, had never distinguished himself in legislative bodies (see Bill Bradley or Sam Nunn for what a distinguished legislator looks like), produced no scholarly literature in spite of collecting a salary from the University of Chicago for 12 years, was not entrusted with any staple courses at the law school, practiced law for just three years, and never achieved any of the professional milestones common to lawyers or faculty members (e.g. the offer of a partnership or the grant of tenure). This isn’t arguable.
Absurd, let’s talk about Trump’s business career. How accomplished was ‘he’??
There was a reason Deutsche Bank became Trump’s primary lender: ‘All the other banks had cut Trump off”. What’s more, had Deutsche Bank followed its own standards, they too should have cut Trump off.
The truth is that Donald Trump wound up on Reality TV because he truly needed a job. His career as a developer had cratered after Atlantic City. Therefore it’s the height of hypocrisy for Trump followers like Absurd to be casting aspersions on Obama’s career.
There was a reason Deutsche Bank became Trump’s primary lender: ‘All the other banks had cut Trump off”. W
Again, Peter, you’re retailing these talking points while complaining you don’t have his tax returns. Did it ever occur to you that your source for this is just making things up?
You like FACTS there btb??? True enough she wasn’t FIRED but:
———–
In neither of his books does Zeifman say he fired Clinton. But in 2008, a reporter named Dan Calabrese wrote an article that claimed that “when the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation.” The article quoted Zeifman as saying: “She was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”…
In 1999, nine years before the Calabrese interview, Zeifman told the Scripps‐Howard news agency: “If I had the power to fire her, I would have fired her.” In a 2008 interview on “The Neal Boortz Show,” Zeifman was asked directly whether he fired her. His answer: “Well, let me put it this way. I terminated her, along with some other staff members who were — we no longer needed, and advised her that I would not — could not recommend her for any further positions.”
So it’s pretty clear that Jerry Zeifman, chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate inquiry, had a low opinion of the young Yale Law graduate Hillary Rodham. But because she reported to the chief counsel of the impeachment inquiry, who was hired separately by the committee and did not report to Zeifman, Zeifman had no authority over her. He simply didn’t hire her for the permanent committee staff after the impeachment inquiry ended.
Kessler also notes that Clinton failed the D.C. bar exam in that period. She never retook the exam (passing the Arkansas exam instead) and concealed her failure even from her closest friends until her autobiography in 2003.

Meanwhile, JT wastes more time on his network vendettas while another IG is fired by Trump, further undermining the intent of the IG law to provide objective oversight. You know, draining the swamp.
Overnight – very slow news cycle – he fired the State Dept IG and replaced him with a Pence crony from Indiana. The IG had begun an investigation into Pompeo’s possible misuse of perks for himself and his wife.
“WASHINGTON — President Trump continued his purge of inspectors general late Friday, moving to oust Steve A. Linick, who had served in that post at the State Department since 2013, and replacing him with an ambassador with close ties to Vice President Mike Pence.
Mr. Linick, who was named by President Barack Obama to lead the office of the inspector general at the State Department, will be replaced by Ambassador Stephen J. Akard, the director of the Office of Foreign Missions, the State Department said in a statement on Friday night.
In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi that was obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Trump wrote that “it is vital that I have the fullest confidence in the appointees serving as Inspectors General.”
“That is no longer the case with regard to this Inspector General,” the president added.
The decision to remove Mr. Linick, first reported Friday night by Politico, is the latest in a purge of inspectors general whom Mr. Trump has deemed insufficiently loyal to his administration, upending the traditional independence of the internal watchdog agencies whose missions are to conduct oversight of the nation’s sprawling bureaucracy…..
…Mr. Engel said that he had learned that Mr. Linick’s office had opened an investigation into Mr. Pompeo. Mr. Engel said that “Mr. Linick’s firing amid such a probe strongly suggests that this is an unlawful act of retaliation.”….”
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/16/us/politics/trump-state-dept-inspector-general.html
Yup, Trump has fired FOUR IGs in the last 6 weeks or so:
April 3: Trump fired Michael Atkinson, Intelligence Community Inspector General
April 7: Trump fired Glenn Fine, Defense Department Inspector General
May 1: Trump fired Christi Grimm, HHS Inspector General
May 15: Trump fired Steve Linick, State Department Inspector General
Turley wrote columns about the first two being fired, but as best I can tell, has not written about the two most recent IG firings (though he did earlier say that “Christi Grimm has an impeccable record of service and deserves better than such an ad hominem attack by the President,” so it’s even stranger that he hasn’t commented on her being fired).
I continue to marvel at the “significance” Turley obsesses about with regard to a consensual affair between two consenting adults.
How is such a topic “material” to an investigation about harassment?
Clinton’s false answers on those questions were not “material” to a legitimate investigation or a legitimate court inquiry.
Sound familiar?
Clinton was sued by an Arkansas state employee. He gave false answers about his mundane conduct in a deposition in that suit.
What is your point? That that is another black eye for the judicial system as well?
Clinton’s “comments” were “statements sworn to under oath” and therefore constituted felony perjury. By an attorney no less. The statements were material because they were part of a deposition for a sexual harassement lawsuit that began before President Clinton entered office. A prohibited sexual affair with an intern/employee in a Federal workplace is relevant to a previously filed sexual harassement lawsuit as it shows a pattern of behavior.
“A prohibited sexual affair with an intern”
I might be open to this. How was it prohibited?
SteveJ: Clinton’s answers not “material?” Are you serious? His perjury got him stripped of his law license in Arkansas (and ordered to pay a $25,000 fine), and also got him disbarred by the U.S. Supreme Court.
If I were taken in by official imprimaturs and actions, I would have swallowed the Flynn indictment and his acknowledgement of guilt and his sentence hook and sinker. But I decided to read the indictment. And could see from day 1 it was pitiful.
Clinton got asked a question having nothing to do with sexual harassment in a harassment proceeding. Starr used Mueller tactics to get it to his level where it had been no business being.
The whole idea of impeachment over it was laughable.
Suffice it to say I don’t think much of fishing expeditions by law enforcement, plaintiffs or prosecutors, whether they’re directed at General Flynn or anybody else.
Did you read the exhibits attached to the DOJ’s motion to dismiss Flynn’s indictment, which explain why the indictment wasn’t “pitiful”?
I already quoted from McCord’s op-ed about it and gave you a link to that. Let me know if you need a link to her 302, which was one of the DOJ’s exhibits.
Not sure why your response to the Russians having blackmail material about the National Security Advisor lying to Vice President is something to shrug about.

In other words, he’s a pig 🐖, but he’s OUR pig, and that’s all that matters. Politics has replaced religion for many on the left. It’s blind faith; it’s identity; and they will say, do and justify anything to avoid questioning their core beliefs. I wonder what they think would happen if they simply looked at Clinton objectively and acknowledged that he is a predator without morals? Would their world collapse? No. If they could reject the likes of Democrats Clinton, Epstein and Weinstein while still maintaining their liberal agenda, they would actually be stronger because their principles would be separated from cult-like worship of despicable people. I was raised in an Irish Catholic blue-collar Democratic home that worshipped JFK. But when I became an adult, I rejected him as a pig and a predator. I voted for Trump and will do so again, not because I approve of everything he’s done in his personal life, and I don’t try to defend it, but he does advance my political and financial interests. I don’t have to worship a politician. I simply have to objectively look at him and see that he’s the better of the two options. That said, there’s no reason to continue to keep Clinton in the mainstream. His usefulness as a politician is over. For CNN to promote him as as a leader, given what we know about him, shows the company’s lack of principles and decency.
Disgruntled Women Remain An Issue With Trump
Lawyers for Donald Trump this week reiterated their argument that a defamation lawsuit from a woman who alleges Trump groped and kissed her without consent should be halted because the president is immune from lawsuits filed in state courts while serving in office.
A new 28-page court brief, filed Monday and released publicly by the New York State Court of Appeals on Tuesday, is Trump’s latest salvo in a multi-front legal battle to limit the ability of private citizens, Congress and even law enforcement to investigate him as a sitting president.
The release came on the same day that Trump’s lawyers argued to the U.S. Supreme Court that the president should be able to shield his tax returns and private business records from subpoenas issued by Democratic-led House congressional committees and the Manhattan district attorney. They argued the president should be immune from requests he believed were political attempts to harass.
Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump’s tax returns, personal financial records
The filing in New York was also a pointed reminder that Trump continues to quietly battle two women in court who allege he sexually assaulted them, fighting their efforts to obtain testimony and documents that could shed light on their accusations. The women, Summer Zervos and E. Jean Carroll, are among more than a dozen women who have accused Trump of unwanted physical contact in the years before he was elected.

Squeeky – the interviewer and the Left blew right by it, however, the Republicans jumped right in and the alternative media are having a heyday, 😉
Democratic position on rape and sexual abuse is that it doesn’t count if it occurs before the “MeToo” movement. It’s called PPDP, Protect the Perverts in the Democratic Party.
Of course since Democrats take every side of every position it it suits their lust for power sometimes the “MeToo” movement doesn’t count. That is called PDAC, Protect Democrats at All Costs which gives Democrats the right to vote for Joe Biden or the Governor of Virginia. It doesn’t count that Joe Biden lives in a basement. That basement seclusion prevents him from both placing his hands on women and opening his mouth in public.
Are we even surprised? Sadly, this has come to be expected. Nothing new here, move on.

One thing you have to understand about liberals born after about 1938 (and some born prior) is that they very seldom have what normal people would call ‘principles’. What they have is a set of improvisations to be used as tools to harass and injure class enemies.
Clinton’s conduct wasn’t injurious to class enemies and would only be considered injurious were he in a public and explicit battle with his wife over it. Which he never has been because nothing she’s ever wanted incorporated marital fidelity from him (or, one might wager, any sort of affection from him). It’s a reasonable wager that she’d have preferred fewer embarrassments from him, but once it was all on the table and cost them nothing with any constituency they cared about, she adjusted. The media quit reporting on his shenanigans, including his trips to Jeffrey Epstein’s satyricon.
Note, a principled refusal to countenance Clinton’s presence somewhere would concede that class enemies were right about something. This liberals do not do in any circumstance. Look at the clowns assiduously defending gross prosecutorial misconduct on this site. They don’t even have the decency to shut up and move on to the next topic.
The question is, what do you do with liberals? It has been escalatingly difficult to maintain institutional life in circumstances where you have sociopathic actors for whom it’s Calvinball all the way down.
This will not end well.
Very well written! It is what I have been saying for years, only in a more sophisticated manner, to wit:
“Trying to explain “principles”, or “right vs. wrong”, or “rules”, or “logical consistency” to a Democrat, is like trying to explain to a bad, cheating, folding metal chair-using, wrestler why he didn’t win the WWF Belt fairly. He is not able to comprehend what you are going on about. All he knows is, that he won the match and the Championship Belt, and so what if his girl friend jumped into the ring while the referee wasn’t looking, and whacked the Good Wrestler over the head with a metal chair! What difference, at this point, does it really make??? After all, he won! He has the Championship Belt! Isn’t that all that matters???
But if the Good Wrestler does the same thing in response to the Bad Wrestler, then the Bad Wrestler is full of righteous indignation and he will mouth all the right words – for example “ I was cheated blah blah blah!” But there really is no issue of morality in play with the Democrats or the Bad Wrestler. Like some sort of primitive in the wilds, whatever helps him get what he wants is good, and whatever keeps him from getting what he wants is bad. It is as simple as that. Democrats, and Bad Wrestlers, are complete sociopaths.”
And no, it isn’t going to end well. I suspect in a few decades we will either see Right Wing Death Squads rounding up liberal professors and reporters and disappearing the whole bunch into various cow pastures. OR, we will see a nominally Leftist President who turns around and does the very thing he or she needs to do to re-stabilize the country. Because they have no underlying principles. Democrats/Liberals could just as easily be anti-illegal immigration and anti-abortion as they are now “pro” both.

Speaking DeVos, she is using Virus funds intended to help hard hit schools and poorer students to do an end run around legal blocks against funding private schools and wealthy students.
Just another day in the swamp.
“WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is using the $2 trillion coronavirus stabilization law to throw a lifeline to education sectors she has long championed, directing millions of federal dollars intended primarily for public schools and colleges to private and religious schools.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, signed in late March, included $30 billion for education institutions turned upside down by the pandemic shutdowns, about $14 billion for higher education, $13.5 billion to elementary and secondary schools, and the rest for state governments.
Ms. DeVos has used $180 million of those dollars to encourage states to create “microgrants” that parents of elementary and secondary school students can use to pay for educational services, including private school tuition. She has directed school districts to share millions of dollars designated for low-income students with wealthy private schools…..”

In the new world of the Democratic Dictatorship all taxpayer money meant to help struggling businesses can only be used to support state businesses and individuals using those state businesses. They wish private business to die along with people not supportative of the state. That is the new Democratic Party Dictatorship under socialism. Maybe the Democratic Dictatorship is hoping to support part of their spending by killing old people living in Nursing Homes. In that way the government saves on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA benefits, etc. The Democratic Dictatorship is Evil.
Correction to Allan. It has been long established law that taxes may not be used for private education and the change is the GOP assault on that principle.
That is not entirely true. Harvard is private education. Is it not? Are the parents to be denied support? When Biden’s family opened up the private Maverick Schools what was that all about. I have touched only the tip of the iceberg.
Socialists promise a lot and when they can’t meet their promises the determine who lives and who dies. In the latest catastrophies some Democrats decided to kill seniors in nursing homes considering those mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, not useful and expendable to the Democratic Dictatorship wishing power for certain elites and socialism for the rest.
So you say but…… do you have any evidence? No? REJECTED; Just another unsupported nothing from the Comrade Collectives of the extremely far left and it’s foreign ideology. And no human presence. Ad Machina
Idiot brigade out and about today. Alan and Michael make for a tedious day.
Absurd, if you’re a Trump lecturing liberals on ‘principles’, the irony is so overwhelming one can only cringe.
We’re currently facing the worst crisis since WWII and Trump is inciting armed militias to intimidate state governments.
Yet we’re supposed to think Trump supporters recognize the ‘value of principles’..?? You are indeed Absurd!
” the worst crisis since WWII ”
I guess the Cuban Missile crisis was just a walk in the park.
The Korean War and Vietnam War also caught everyone’s attention, having the potential of expanding into nuclear war.
The Cuban Missile crisis didn’t crash the world’s economy.
Paint Chips has a very split personality. First replies as Pike Bishop and then July Johnson.
I feel sorry for Turley. If Paint Chips disappeared so would a large number of different names.
Whoa I’m a liberal born after 1939. You know live and let live. Avoid coercion.The inherent dignity of every person, even deplorables.
But for today’s “liberals” that’s so last centuy.
Thanks care bear, try the oatmeal.
This is absurd.
The absolute loyalty to party regardless of principles is absurd. Purely selfish power by any means necessary.
As lawyers do: If the other lawyer makes a motion, no matter what it is, oppose it.
Luckily not many will see it

To shrink.
Certainly many of us who were awake and well-informed while Clinton got a pass from the feminists in the 1990s, already knew that MeToo was really MeTooOnlyAgainstRepublicans.Between the recent pass given to Biden and the continued Clinton embrace, this only adds to the initial stink of MeToo.
No, the MeToo Movement only comes into play when the predator is not a useful Democratic politician. They are exempt. Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby were Dems, but they didn’t matter because they weren’t politicians who could advance the liberal agenda. Instead of spending money on expensive lawyers, had Weinstein and Cosby run for and been elected to political office, the MeToo hypocrites would have left them alone and they wouldn’t be in prison.
TIN, I agree with you.
