Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Like a fucking gang needing to see you killing someone in a TV series to gain trust ffs.
You don't usually her the ladies getting the sexual harassment claim. Whatever she did must have been pretty substantial.
I would sue my plastic surgeon.
She’s a wretched beast
Starting to feel bad for gators after calling Trump's cabinet swamp creatures for so long. Gators just eat you, they're not gross too.
Birds of a feather, something something
The party of degenerates pretending to be pious continues to show their true colors.
It's always projection with this bunch. That's why when they started up with the Q-NUT "protect the children" and the blood-libel sounding stuff that dealt with adenochrome and children and sex trafficking children, I started getting scared that we'd find out some of these monsters were literally doing not only the pedo stuff, but also the blood stuff....
I'm surprised, you basically never hear sexual misconduct allegations against women. It's always very one-sided.
Some of that is due to patriarchal values (women can't harm men) which lowers reporting and those receiving reports not taking them seriously.
Some of it is due to disparity between it being committed by women for the first reason.
There are crimes that are wildly disparate by gender. Baby napping for instance is almost exclusively committed by women. And even when u find a case committed by a male, it's nearly universal that a woman put him up to it. It seems to be correlated to post partum depression.
These allegations are against other women.
Heteronormativity
given how unknown (to me) all these nominations are, i’m beginning to wonder if he’s picking them based solely on whether or not they have any sexual abuse allegations
Haha
Part of me wonders if he's having trouble finding willing folks (let me rephrase: quality willing folks) to do these jobs because 1. Most half-intelligent half-sane people know what he's about 2. He's about 2 years from being irrelevant to the Republican party and he's not the person you want to be tied to. 3. He's burned so many people that it really doesn't make sense for reasonable people to be interested.
I think (maybe it's naive hope) that after mid-terms we'll see the party start to look beyond Trump and effectively make him less important. We are sort of seeing it with the Senate putting pressure on some of his picks (Gaetz).
If he refused hiring people with sexual harassment allegations against them then he would have no one to hire.
It never ceases to amaze me that the party of 'family values' and 'traditional families' doesn't have a single member that fits that category. They are all sex obsessed sleezebags that cheat on each other and sexually assualt people.
Maybe some xtian nationalist has to explain if this qualifies as Sooper Dooper Xtian Family Values, or....?
