"Rep. Gregory Meeks: John Conyers should step down as top Judiciary Committee Democrat during ethics probe" (but still keep his seat in Congress) “I really think that probably the appropriate thing right now is he should step down as the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee and be subject to this ethics investigation so it can be determined whether or not there’s a practice or pattern, and then appropriate consideration should be made at that time as soon as the Ethics Committee finishes its review,” Meeks told CNN on Wednesday. "Meeks, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus alongside Conyers, said that it is inappropriate for Conyers to continue serving as ranking member of the Judiciary Committee given the allegations against him, but with that caveat that he be permitted to retake the position if the investigation clears him of wrongdoing." www.washingtonexaminer.com/rep-gregory-meeks-john-conyers-should-step-down-as-top-judiciary-committee-democrat-during-ethics-probe/article/2641494"Clyburn: Harassment Claims Against Rep. Conyers ‘Could Be Made Up’ ""Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), the third-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, initially said Wednesday afternoon that he supported a “deliberate and thorough” investigation into “very disturbing” allegations of sexual harassment made against Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) by multiple women. "Later that day, he was quoted in the New York Times striking a decidedly different tone." “You can’t jump to conclusions with these types of things,” Clyburn said. “For all I know, all of this could be made up.” talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/clyburn-allegations-against-conyers-could-be-made-upMSNBCs Al Sharpton says Conyers deserves the benefit of doubt and should keep his seat in Congress. Said he has the right to defend himself against allegations. Seems that right only applies to dems.

Which wasn't his point. But you know that. WHen somebody refers to “9 month old babies” I assume they are talking about 9 month old babies. You know perfectly well what I meant. So you are going to keep insisting that a baby in the womb, from conception to birth, does not age. |

The problem is, you have some sort of beef with rick49 to the point of making yourself look even more stupid than usual, notably the 9 month issue. It's so f**k**g tedious when you get in one of your inflexible won't-consider-anyone-else's-pov modes. Once again - you’re not obliged to read nor respond. In fact considering the mess you’re making of yourself (nobody has a “beef” with Rick - how old are you?) it’s best you don’t. It is impossible for you to talk to someone with a different pov without insulting them, isn't it? |

So you are going to keep insisting that a baby in the womb, from conception to birth, does not age. If I had I wouldn’t have asked. It’s not my fault you deliberately misuse the English language to make inflammatory claims. Particularly as you juxtaposed it as being somehow more serious than alleged child molestation. And you cannot argue “I know what you meant” while then doubling down on your claim that age is measured from conception. You’re just wrong Rick, accept it. Ask anybody in your society when somebody turns 9 months old and see what they say. |

"It’s not my fault you deliberately misuse the English language to make inflammatory claims." Saying that a baby physically ages while in the womb is inflammatory? Looks like you need a timeout in your safe space. "Particularly as you juxtaposed it as being somehow more serious than alleged child molestation." What?  ? "And you cannot argue “I know what you meant” while then doubling down on your claim that age is measured from conception." I am not talking about birth. I am saying a baby ages while in the womb. You are denying that. |

"The Rise of the Beta Male Sexual Harasser""The growing pile of confession notes — which combine ostensible empathy and promises of sensitivity and submission with strategically placed, lawyerly denials — testifies to the grimly comic dishonesty of the Beta Male sexual harasser. He thought that he could continue to indulge his appetites as long as he adjusted his attitudes, a view that all of the prattle about “systemic change” confirms him in, insofar as it treats his misbehavior as an ideological problem rather than a moral one. Implied in many of the confession notes from the harassers is the ludicrous suggestion that with a little more “education,” with a few more training seminars, with a little more consciousness-raising, they would have behaved virtuously. This pose allows them to escape moral responsibility and painlessly join the “solution.” The sexual revolution’s massive crisis of unchastity is thus turned into a “problem of power” that can be remedied by the hiring of more female executives, the expansion of HR departments, and “better” education." "For sheer pomposity, perhaps nothing beats Richard Dreyfuss’s non-apology apology, chalking up his misbehavior to the “performative masculine man my father had modeled for me to be.” But, no worries, he is enlightened now: “I have had to redefine what it means to be a man, and an ethical man. I think every man on Earth has or will have to grapple with this question. But I am not an assaulter.” "Al Franken, trading in the therapeutic, I-stand-ready-to-listen babble of his SNL character Stuart Smalley, says he is going to commit himself anew to believing “women’s experiences.” Never mind that he denied his accuser’s experience. He doesn’t “remember the rehearsal for the skit as Leann does,” but women “deserve to be heard, and believed.” For this act of blatantly dishonest and contradictory atonement, he is receiving praise for his “honesty” and now — in a reminder that feminism will always put politics ahead of the protection of women — a concerted effort is underway to save his career." "Or take Al Gore, one of the leading Beta Male pols of his generation, who has completely escaped notice during this frenzy, despite credible reports of his having lunged at a masseuse. You won’t see his face in any of the mainstream media’s montages of sexual harassers, lest that set back the cause of climate-change activism. For all the talk of a Clintonian “reckoning,” the feminists still agree with Nina Burleigh that the advance of liberal politics, or as she put it “keeping theocracy off our backs,” is worth “kneepads.” spectator.org/the-rise-of-the-beta-male-sexual-harasser/

“He is the offspring of the unhappy marriage between feminism and the sexual revolution.”
Ho ho! I was right. Feminism is now hip-hop isn’t it (to blame for everything negative.)

Aren't females feminine enough, in their own right? Feminists usually come across as sad fcukers looking for trouble. I don't know a single male who wouldn't put himself out to help a female having serious problems with an abusive male. Domestics are another thing: did you know for example that in France, every third day on average a woman is killed by her partner (not the same woman, I quickly add). On the news this morning.

There's definitely some truth to this. It's easier to throw Clinton under the bus than Franken now. Although Franken has a Democratic governor in Minnesota so it's safe to get rid of him if need be, because a different Dem would get appointed. If you look, instead, at Bob Menendez (although that's a non-sex scandal) - they're not going to kick him out until the new Dem governor of NJ is sworn in. On the other hand, most of the Republicans' attacks on Clinton during the Clinton presidency were about Monica Lewinsky. And while that has an uncomfortable power dynamic of boss-and-underling having an affair, nobody ever suggested it wasn't consensual - basically, the Republican prudishness and focus on consensual non-marital sex, and the fact Clinton lied about that, was a red herring, and the Republicans diverted everyones' focus from the stuff that Clinton did that actually does look genuinely wrong. |

Well, articles of impeachment were brought. Clinton wasn't "convicted" by the formal terms of the process.
