If Ivanka had a wild child past and had hung out with some bikers, including a tattoo like this, we wouldn't assume she had Nazi sympathies either...

No. You'd insinuate this was her new clothing line. ..

1. Sorry, PB, your (and lots of haters on the interwebs) suggestion was that Hill had Nazi sympathies...stupid on its face.


2. Seriously, this was entirely prurient 'outrage', never any actual hypocrisy...


3. You seem to have gone so far over into the hard right blogosphere that hating libs has become your religion. It's ugly.


4. Show me one or more of your past posts ripping any specific GOP male member...heck the current POTUS... for abusing their 'power dynamic' with women, you'll begin to have some credibility with me about actually caring about those who face coercion.

1. Uhhh, I never suggested Katie had Nazi sympathies; I wouldn't care if she carved Adolph Hitler's initials on her cheeks. I only care how we treat similar outrages even when proven false. Your continuing Kavanaugh persecution is a great example; every one of her accusers has been proven either to have lied, or is a bunny boiler, or is demented, all encouraged by known operatives of the Democratic Party, yet here you are still saying you 'think' he did something wrong. (btw, I share your disgust at his behavior under grilling...what he ought to have done is laughed at the inquisitors, all of whom knew he was being wrecklessly smeared)

Well, you sure came on strong about the Iron Cross...and it's sure as heck what the insinuation is on social media.

But no, you're drinking from the right wing blogosphere tap pretty hard if you think Kav's accusers aren't believed by most folks, most notably Ford.

2. Literally no one cares about her 'nudes', her bisexuality, or her Iron Cross. Nor does Katie. If Congressmen were shamed into retirement because of awful behavior, Bob Menendez would have resigned many moons ago. She resigned to escape a harsher glare of her life, and I suspect it has everything to do with the non-profit she ran and used to employ her husband and friends... If you want to cheat the charity game, be like Elijah Cummings and keep yourself out of running the charity; it gives you plausible deniability (oh I forgot, Elijah is a hero who got along with Joe Scarborough... )

Again, total baloney. The prurient interest, the 'slut shaming' is off the hook.

3. I don't hate 'libs'...my best two friends are the biggest Bernie fans in the universe. What I hate is liberal hypocrisy. There is a wide chasm between hating the person versus hating the actions. I am careful in life to recognize that. Folks here seem sensitive to having that hypocrisy pointed out time and again. It's the easiest game in town btw.

I have no idea who your friends are PB, I just know that you save your disdain for "liberal hypocrisy", never right wing hypocrisy.

4. I have previously stated here, not that I expect you to read every post of mine, that Trump's sleeping with Stormy (ie: cheating on his wife) plus saying what he did to Billy Bush nullify for me anything he does or has to say. Does that make me credible (for the moment)? Because my next comment is in a binary election, if you offer me Warren and Trump, I will choose Trump every day and Sunday. But between Biden and Trump, I will choose Biden every day plus Sunday. Many others are just like me...

I’d absolutely vote for Klobuchar. I think she’s solid.

I ‘think’ I’d vote for Mayor Pete. I’m not sure I understand his full policy choices but I like his general vibe.

I’d vote for Booker. Good dude. He fails miserably in debate form but he’s a solid guy.

Re: Trump’s 16. My sure bet is half the accusations are baloney on their face. Half likely have at least some truth if not outright truth. One tell is when a rather homely woman comes to the surface on this issue, it’s fair to not believe her words. Trump has a look as we all know. And several of his accusers don’t exactly strike me as what Trump finds attractive. Sue me for being honest btw before you say ‘sexist’. You want honesty, I’m being honest. Anyone reading this knows exactly what I’m saying too.

8 assaults...and these are the ones who came forward...to tell of their P-word being grabbed by our current POTUS...and you aren't going to vote for Kamala??? Because she's not liberal enough??? Too much a law and order type, tramples on "civil liberties" too much?

You do realize you are comparing her 'disdain' for 'civil liberties' with Trump's disdain for the Constitution, right?
Binary choice.

You're probably not a sexist, and I'm sure you're being honest with what you believe. You just have no clue about what you're talking about regarding sexual assault or even just normal sexual relations.

I don't read every post or thread but my guesses are:

Seacoaster

RedfromMI
Foreverlax

R's:

ABV

I am probably missing some names I have seen.

While romantic manager-employee relationships are not illegal, companies often introduce no-dating policies to avoid allegations of preferential treatment or lawsuits arising from unwanted advances or sexual harassment.

Intel, McDonald's, Best Buy, Hewlett Packard, Restoration Hardware. Just a few of the companies that have terminated their CEO's for similar behavior. But Katie Hill resigned because of 'revenge porn'...

Yes, I have 'no clue'. I need to tell our HR staff that they are failing me!

The liberals/left-leaning here have a decidedly difficult time when we're being very frank and honest about topics they previously considered their own (as in, 'I refuse to consider alternative thoughts!').

If I point out that ski season will occur every year without fail, or that the Russia thing seems far-fetched, or that Miami real estate is on fire, or that several of Trump's accusers don't exactly look the part (for him), the reactions are almost always 'you're so dumb you can't see the data' or 'you are a (fill in the blank)-ist!!!'.

I have zero doubt that the liberals/left-leaning folks here similarly fell for the Rolling Stone/UVA hoax and the Duke lacrosse hoax and so forth; absolutely not a doubt in my mind. Know why? Because you want those stories to be true. Because you need those stories to be true to justify so much of your world framework. And if a guy like me came along and said slow your roll about UVA/Duke/etc, let's see about this story, it doesn't ring true to me, what would the post look like from them: you are a rape apologist. Very very predictable.

But that's okay, it helps make the day move along.

The UVA Rolling Stone article; people around the WC were all over that BS as the whole story smelled of rotten fish to most, myself included.

Why she resigned seems to be your main issue here...I could care less why she resigned.

On Laxpower, there was one poster who claimed at the beginning it was a hoax, he spelled out why it was a hoax, and his gift for being a lonely voice was he got roasted for weeks on end by everyone; not one other poster backed his alternative view.

Wow...that is some memory. Almost 14 years ago!!
