    Those with double standards have twice as many as those that are less principled:

    #TIMESUP: Dem Congressman Admits to Decade-Long Affair with Former Intern.

    [​IMG]
    Admitted To Boning His Staffer

    “The Nevada congressman is the second Democrat of the 116th Congress to be accused of sexual impropriety while in office. Former congresswoman Katie Hill of California’s 25th district resigned from Congress in October after revelations about her ‘throuple’ relationship with her husband and a campaign staffer. She denied a separate report she had a sexual relationship with her legislative director.”​

    But luckily for him, nobody cares about #MeToo stuff anymore so long as Joe Biden is the nominee.

    UPDATE: In Soviet America, the future is certain but the past is always changing.

    Why do you say that?

    Reade's allegations were taken seriously.
    Reade's allegations were investigated thoroughly.
    Reade's allegations were found to be untrue.

    All of that changes nothing about why sexual abuse by those in power is wrong.

    #metoo was a political weapon, and nothing more.

    Now that it's dead, the people involved will come up with a catchy hashtag to replace it, for the same purpose.

    First lady Melania Trump said victims who make accusations of sexual misconduct "need to have really hard evidence" in a recently taped interview, echoing a statement she made in October 2016 amid allegations against her husband.

    And of course that "investigation" took 30 minutes by- Pelosi's people or the equivalent...

    It ain't over till it's over, and it ain't over..... Even the BSand denial from the dems is just getting started.

    The lesson is....when one is abused, don't wait 20 years or for a political opportunity to do something about it. Take someone you love as support, and report it right away while evidence can be gleaned and the violater questioned. Democrats set the precedent for this crap, now they just have to ride it out!

    That comment shows an unsurprising lack of awareness.

    Surprising to someone who thinks declaring Reade irrelevant and taking opinion of her enemies as evidence.

    Ye Olde "Double the Standards" is alive and well on the left side. We see it everyday, and it looks as sick as ever.

    Who, just exactly WHO are her "enemies?"

    Her claims have changed multiple times over the years and have changed over the last 6 months.
    Multiple entities have investigated her and her claims. Universally they find her claims unsupported and unsupportable.
    Many people who've know her over the last 10 years describe her as a con and grifter.

    As I said. Her claims were taken seriously and investigated. They have been found to be totally without merit.

    But, stick with the "Biden's just as bad as Trump" line. I'm sure it will work.

    It was over when it failed to get Trump - that was its only purpose to begin with.

    It was over again when Democrats were being accused of sexual misconduct all over the place.

    And it was SUPER over when Rapin' Joe Biden was exposed as a sexual predator.

    Believing women (for partisan advantage): RIP

    Con and a grifter? Well, she worked for Joe Biden he probably would have found such claims desirable, along with good sniffing stock.
    Reades claims have been trashed by the left- a 180 reverse of the treatment of Blasey.
    And while Blasey couldn't remember where or when or how she got there or how she got home or who else was around, Reade has multiple people who can corroborate discussion of the events at the time, and some say she wasn't the only one.

    Totally without merit describes Blasey's story- but it would have been anti-Trump, so the immoral s running the democratic witch hunt found that plausible.
    When you pull that crap over and over and over, it gets to the point where nothing you say has any credibility. Honest people know that if democrat politicians lips are moving these days, they are lying even when it sounds legit. They don't know what truth is anymore, why it's important, or how to speak without burying it. pretty damn sad.

    And Trump wasn't involved in either case... so the effort to smear something out of this and onto him is pretty lame.

    Blasey is irrelevant.
    That dicussion is done.

    But, don't blame me for Reade being called a con artist. Blame her friends.

    https://goodtimes.sc/santa-cruz-news/watsonville-nonprofit-owner-says-she-was-scammed-by-tara-reade/

    "In 2015, Hummer says Reade fell in love with Charm, one of the horses Hummer had rescued. Reade asked Hummer to let her take Charm home and also waive the adoption fee. Hummer agreed. Hummer says that Reade later called a veterinary doctor from out of the county, racked up $1,400 in veterinary bills and tricked Pregnant Mare Rescue into paying Charm’s medical bills by having the bills sent to the nonprofit, where the bookkeeper paid the expenses without understanding the backstory or asking any questions, Hummer explains. Prior to that, Hummer says that Reade repeatedly begged for money. She says she ended up lending Reade more than $800 on three occasions—none of which Reade ever repaid. Additionally, Reade once hid her car on Hummer’s ranch to avoid having it repossessed, Hummer says. One time at a fundraiser, Reade hid a raffle ticket jar under a table to ensure that she would win the drawing by only entering one ticket, Hummer says. The bottom line, she says, is that Reade can’t be trusted."

    If anyone is really interested in truth, they don't go looking for the people who accuse others of sticking gum under the seat in grade school- they look at the facts.
    Blasey had no corroboration- not even memory of anything relevant, and Kavanaugh was roasted by the dems over that. It takes an idiot not to know why.
    Reade had corroboration in several forms from several people. So far, nothing has been pursued against Biden for that.

    IF you give a damn about fair play and justice, you see the glaring gap in these two situations. That will cause any honorable person concerns- not for Reade of Blasely, but for the weasels who are willing to manipulate truth for political gain, and how that grossly disqualifies them from office.
    Do you give a damn? Or are your ethics situational?

    I have noticed how Repubs have forgotten their own candidate's infidelities, it's like magic.

    Blasey's story is not relevant here.

    Whether her story is to be believed or not the evidence is insufficient and whether it happened or not it was 30 years prior and a couple of teenagers. Nothing in Blasey's history suggests she should not be believed and NOTHING in Kavanaugh's history to suggest he should not be believed.

    Biden has acknowledged that what he considers being "friendly" may have, over the course of years, offended or even traumatized some women. He has acknowledged their discomfit while saying his actions were not sexual in nature. When you stop looking at clips on a loop and actually look at video in context a reasonable person can see the truth in that.

    Reade's story has changed many times over the years. Reade's story has changed multiple time OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS. In 1992/3 DC her latest story is not plausible. Put on a pair of LEGGS and try to "slip your fingers" in. Not possible. Additionally, several of Reade's past acquaintances and friends describe her as a grifter and con artist. Sorry, you're just beating a dead mule here. But, you just keep on keeping on with it. Because repeating this crap only ADDS to your credibility. Seriously.

    Now as for my ethics being "situational?"
    Coming from a Trumpinista I find that comment beyond laughable.
    Sorry, but you guys don't ever ever EVER again get to seriously question anyone's ethics.

    It's magic, I tell you. The once across the board leftist embrace of the #metoo movement proved faulty to them when it turned out that important Leftist men did not always keep it in their pants when they should have. Considering how intensely the political Left has worked to neuter all men, this is a huge mystery to them. In any event the fact that magic is involved in the across the board changing of the Dem Party's mind in regards to the #metoo movement is perfectly demonstrated in the following illustration:

    I quit questioning the ethics of the democrats quite a while back. There is nothing to question; the box is empty- and dusty. And that IS beyond question.

    I saw this in a meme.

    conversation between two former Ford sympathizers.
    Ugly lady #1 " I don't want to believe Reade, so I'm voting for Joe"
    Ugly lady #2 "Me too"

    So you see, Me Too is still alive and well.

    Bullshit, Blasey Fraud isn’t irrelevant, and neither is the moronic, and sanctimonious behavior of the left.
    You people spawned this “believe all women” garbage, now live with the fact that your hypocrisy concerning Biden’s accuser is going to hang around your neck like a albatross until Biden goes down in flames in November.

    OK. Ford's not irrelevant.

    And based on that I'm assuming Republicans rejected his nomination to the SCOTUS.

    Wait. What? They didn't?

    Then keep your hypocrisy on your side of the room please.
