What a dickhead. May justice be applied where necessary.
Perhaps one of the most important takeaways here is that at no point did the democratic party promote unyielding defense or support for Swalwell. They don’t have the level of “party over people” that republicans demonstrate when something similar happens. Remind your conservative acquaintances of that.
Interesting, if true. Not totally doubting you, but at least they don’t reward that behavior when the evidence is laid bare. Granted it shouldn’t take public exposure to take action, but this is where we are at so far.
Did I say that?
No. I said both parties cover up sexual assault. The Democrats buried Epstein until it would no longer inconvenience the Clintons, don’t fool yourself.
Yeah but this eating our own while Republicans stay in office only benefits R’s.
I know Gonzales “retired”, but that is by and large the exception AND only happened after Dems experienced an equal loss of one, leaving the House math unchanged. We need to stop taking the high ground while the rules are unequally applied.
I’m saying that in this moment we should play by the same rules Republicans do. Stop beating ourselves with self imposed rules that, last time I checked, are doing jack shit to help the nation.
Once we’ve fixed THAT problem we can return to the moral high ground.
Unless of course you enjoy living under this fascist regime.
Get rid of the rapist in the White House and work our way down.
Unless of course you enjoy living under this fascist regime.
If we abandon the rules because its convenient for us, even if we win, we’d be living under a fascist regime. The only difference would be it would be one of our own making instead of someone else’s.
I disagree. Fewer rapists is an improvement. Getting rid of rapists isn’t the moral high ground, it’s a necessary moral imperative. Id rather have one party that acts like Republicans than two.
Agreed; my issue is with the unequally applied rules. They should ALL be gone, but until that’s the case let’s stop shooting ourselves in the foot while Republicans laugh their way to corrupt majorities.
Okay, did I miss something? Did more evidence come out today? From what I’d heard they were simply allegations at this point. And as a country we’ve show men how we treat those cough Epstein cough.
So again I ask, why the disparate treatment? The moral high ground means Jack shit if they take over for good.
Swalwell leaving doesn’t change the majority the Republicans already hold in the house, and he’s in a very safe seat in California so whoever replaced him will be a democract too. This guy is like Cuomo, dead weight and we should cut him lose to show some integrity, not latch on to any of these corporate democrats because they’ve got a d next to there name.

Apparently this was a known thing around Washington and they just cut him loose when they needed to.
Both parties cover this shit up.

Plenty of people knew, nobody wanted to take the punishment for revealing it.
Thing is, you need proof for an accusation. Unless they could prove it, there’s nothing much they could do.
Ah yes, handled exactly the same way as trump. No differences to be seen whatsoever.

My own ain’t rapists. Maybe your is. Not mine.
Good. Enjoy the moral high ground in the concentration camps.
“We have to allow rape to beat the rapists!” -you
He raped someone. Are you saying we should let him continue on as if nothing happened in order to own the Republicans?

There are dozens of better candidates to replace every rapist in Washington.

As if the Republicans are even playing by the rules at this point…Are you seriously defending a guy who violently raped someone?
At no point is it acceptable to let them off the hook, politics or no politics.
You’d be saying something completely different if you’d ever experienced something like this.
Okay, did I miss something? Did more evidence come out today? From what I’d heard they were simply allegations at this point. And as a country we’ve show men how we treat those cough Epstein cough.

Right…he’s resigning out of embarrassment. It’s only the moral high ground if you think politics is a team sport.
So let’s talk Al Franken…how soon we forget.
Great, now we start with whataboutism.
