The event is in August, though — probably too soon for a conviction, even if that’s where Gaetz is ultimately headed. What about an indictment?
“I’d have to take everything into consideration,” she said of the possibility. “I fully believe in his innocence.”
“Because he’s a Republican. We tend not to recognize guilt in anyone who is on our side.”

If Gaetz attends, will he adopt a “wide stance?”

I don’t know who first broached this excellent suggestion but I’m telling you, this creature has presidential aspirations. And why wouldn’t he? Tell me anything he’s done or not done that the former occupant didn’t do or not do.

No worries here, eh Di? After all, ya’ll are the proud Guardians Of Predators. But more importantly is “Sometimes controversy sells tickets.” And when you get down to corny crap like values it’s all about bottom line, amirite?

As for me, (Di Lothrop), I think not. Under a Biden presidency, socialism will be the order of the day. Our taxes will go up, we will lose the right to voice our opinions, we will lose the right to protect person and property, and we will lose the right to succeed.
Notice that her complaint list is full of “I, me, my” items. Literally can’t see beyond their own noses these people.

Matt Gaetz and Donald J. Trump the young and old faces of the GOP. Both lecherous sociopaths and neither did a thing to help average Americans.

Despite the trash talking from this lady, I think there’s about a zero percent chance it goes through, especially as Trump is already walking away from Gaetz, and if Sununu has any aspirations to run for Senator. Gaetz is toxic and becoming even more so with each passing day and New Hampshire isn’t a red state.

I think most of the GOPers are interested in, well, how do you find these websites and know they’re the ones?

[“Right now, these are just allegations — allegations are not proof of guilt,” she said. “Look what they did to Justice Kavanaugh, look what they did to President Trump with the porno queen, whatever she was — it’s just allegations and obviously it’s a tactic.”]
Interesting…the best paragons of innocence are Barf and Individual One
It will come to pass that both gentlemen will make her rue the day that she called their names in the defense of Gaetz’ invitation.

Despite claims of unity among women, what history tells us is that when white women have to make a decision, they often operate within their own racial interests.
The same evidence disputes early attempts in popular culture to portray white women as passive figures in the country’s history of slavery, when the reality could not have been further from the truth.
…
The same behavior was on full display in the aftermath of slavery. As they had done before, white women placed their own interests above those of others, including women of color. Anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells-Barnett confronted this behavior during the 19th century. Mindful that Black people in the United States could never experience full citizenship while the practice of lynching continued to thrive, Wells-Barnett called on white women’s rights activists to stand with Black women — and all Black people — to denounce the violent act.
During the 1890s, she appealed to leaders of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, one of the largest social reform organizations of the period, to take a stand against lynching. Frances Willard, the president of the WCTU, advocated for women’s rights yet only extended a veneer of support for Black women. Rather than taking seriously the concerns Wells-Barnett emphasized in her writings, Willard chose to cater to a Southern audience.
In 1894, Willard released a statement on behalf of the WCTU that justified lynching, and in an interview during this period, she openly disparaged Black men and misrepresented Wells-Barnett’s research on lynching.
…
The historical record is filled with examples of how white women in the United States, including those who espoused a commitment to “women’s rights,” worked against the interests of other women — especially women of color. And the record reveals how many of these women have worked to protect white men, even those who have violated and exploited women.
The white women who rallied behind former President Donald Trump — representing 52 percent of white women in the United States in 2016 — underscore the ease with which too many white women provide cover to misogyny, racism and white supremacy. And for many of these women, sexual abuse and harassment can be easily forgiven — or even completely overlooked — if it means supporting white men who are committed to advancing the interests of white people.
