So only 2 credible sexual assault allegations, you say (I won’t try to guess which two women you think are lying). Guess we don’t need to worry about him!

No partisan preferences here at all, by any chance?

I agree that it seems a bit questionable, but I’m not particularly alarmed because I just don’t lose any sleep about the idea of Trump cosying up to Putin behind the scenes. I feel like one has to believe in a highly idealised fantasy version of the US and global politics to get upset about these scenarios.

I'm not going to get into slut-shaming but I will say one of the complainants was urged to come forward by that paragon of the Truth Brietbart and other Ken Star said had lied repeatedly to the Congressional hearing and her testimony deserved to be not be continued with.

Partisan? We're all partisan!

Does one?

Well this One has no "idealised fantasy" regarding World politics but that doesn't stop one from wanting to make the shyte show world we now inhabit a little less corrupt, lot more transparent and the leaders (plural) ham-strung by something as small and insignificant as the "Rule of Law"...aka, in this case, The United States Constitution!

I hope I don't get as jaded and cynical about the world when I reach your age!

^There is no legal or even tactical 'doubt' in what she wrote at all. She's just deflated at the thought of the hypocrisy and faux moral outrage given the endless moral contradictions we have to suffer. That's fair enough, yet there she is covering it because we're all trapped in the received parameters. That's why irony and whiskey were invented.

In any case, isn't that something you would normally deem 'whataboutery'?

It's a circus.

Trump will be impeached in the house of reps and found not guilt in the senate.

3.14159, do you have a preference for how to pay that $100? :P :wink:
