The author didn’t mention the fact that Pelosi nailed Fuck Todd’s ass to the wall for concentrating on a Dem sex scandal and not talking about the heinous GOP tax bill. Chuckles tried to cut her off at the end when he thought he got the responses he wanted in the first place, but Nancy wasn’t having it:
Which then caused the next guest, Senator AnalPortmann (Asshat- OH) to try to grab time at the end of his evasion-laden interview, to badly defend the GOP tax train-wreck…
The lady rocks, as evident in this interview with Chuckles so let’s not hear any more talk of the pasture people seem to think should be her next stop.
@maximus
I’m guessing we’ve gone over this in a thread at some point, but the tax bill is gonna be so good for American companies which shield their profits overseas beginning with Apple which currently shields $252.3 million in Ireland. Add in the proposed tax cut for corporations, pretty soon we’ll owe them money for just existing.
She’s right about the due process. She’s also right that he should resign if he was in fact using his position to harass women.
Of course this will be spun as “Democrats hypocritical for assuming Moore is guilty while stressing due process for Conyers.”
But if Moore is elected, he’ll face the same Ethics Committee process Conyers is facing.
Meanwhile, everyone has a right to say whether they believe or don’t believe (or aren’t sure about) the accusations against both Moore and Conyers (and Franken, for that matter) and whether those people should voluntarily withdraw/resign from their candidacy/office.
There’s no reason that if you believe the accusations against one of them, you somehow have to believe the accusations against all the others. That’s the kind of “foolish consistency” that Ralph Waldo Emerson called “the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
If Moore wins, he’ll get the same due process before the Ethics Committee that Conyers is facing. The difference is that Moore will have to get past the voters of Alabama first. Conyers and Franken, should they remain in office and run for re-election, will face their voters later. That’s not some Democratic plot for unequal justice, that’s just the reality of when the accusations became public and when the relevant elections are taking place.
This business is turning into a farce, with accusations of varying gravity and credibility and publicity giving rising to a chaotic set of responses by Democrats. If they haven’t done so already, Congressional Democrats need to set out a clear code of conduct for their caucus membership and anyone running for office; a grievance procedure open to complainants from the general public and internal staff alike; and a clear spectrum of penalties ranging from warnings to expulsion. The procedure should specify the circumstances in which a Democrat who is the subject of a complaint should be suspended from his/her official duties pending the resolution of the matter. And presumably the investigative and disciplinary function of the bipartisan House Ethics Committee would also be clarified.
As matters presently stand, it’s a chaotic and counterproductive free-for-all.
Pelosi identified the most logical approaches to claims of sexual harassment, expect the alleged perpetrator to do the right thing and extend due process to both sides. The problem with the former is that people like DT and Moore think they are entitled or have done nothing outside societal norms. The problem with the latter is that the Ethics Committee is political and has no clearly defined ethics.
The highest ranking Republican in the nation, Donald Trump, is pro-Roy Moore.

The highest ranking Democrat in the nation, Nancy Pelosi, is pro-John Conyers.
"A plague o' both your houses!" (Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Sc. 1).
Speaking of foolish consistency, hobgoblins, and little minds, Bill Kristol was lightning-fast with the false equivalency.
I guess Kristol wanted to reassure the world that despite his anti-Trump stance, he can still be the same old intellectually bankrupt dickhole he’s always been.
Either Nancy did not know about Conyers (and perhaps other members of her caucus) harassing women and then paying them off with taxpayer dollars before it became public or she did know about it and did nothing.
Either way, she should step down as House Minority Leader. She either knew and did nothing or she wasn’t paying attention. This is just another example of why her time has past.
Cause she didn’t rush to say conyers has to go you know the progressives are saying she has to go
You don’t have to be a progressive to say she has to go. You just have to be a dimwitted @georgeh
@coimmigrant The projection DiJiT and Moore indulge in stops them from seeing clearly the problem they embody.
Apparently Nancy Pelosi could shoot somebody on Haight Street in broad daylight, and you’d still support her.
Around here, sexual harassment seems to be more tolerated when perpetrated by Democrats.
She’s right, due process is important. We’re getting really hysterical about sexual harassment claims to the point of forming a lynch mob anytime someone claims their butt was touched. Sexual harassment is wrong, but not nearly as wrong as convicting people based solely on unsubstantiated claims. That’s how legitimate issues get turned into witch hunts.
She wouldn’t get arrested even if she shot somebody on Nancy Pelosi Drive, a long thoroughfare within Golden Gate Park on which the Academy of Science is located as well as the AIDS Memorial and is pedestrian friendly.
liked x infinity. That is the cradle of whataboutism and bothsiderism and it’s falacious, as you pointed out.
It’s so obvious to me that the GOP has one interest only, in retaining their razor-thin majority in the Senate. They are more then willing to turn a blind eye to accusations (and yes, they are accusations at this point) about child molestation and to try to distract with attacks on Democrats. One of these things is not like the other…neither Conyers nor Franken have been accused of attacking minor children. End. Of. Story. Also, too, note that Trump has basically admitted that he prefers an alleged pedophile to a Democrat in the Senate. It’s not like he has any harassment skeletons in his closet now, is it? The hypocrisy and lack of moral sense in that man is stunning.
I guess Kristol wanted to reassure the world-
And be asked back for another gig next week, clown suit and juggler
Bullshit by the carload.
And it stinks on ice.
That is a deliberate lie.
That also comes as no surprise, considering the source.
Watching the muck attempt on “Whataboutism”, coming from the dumbest NBC/MSNBC host is tragic…
Chunky-Chuckles
