So who’s next in line? Attorney General Mark Herring. Herring called for Northam’s resignation over the blackface/KKK photo. Now it appears that Herring himself is in a blackface photo from 1980, when he was in college.

Next in line? The Speaker of the House, who is a Republican.

These guys won’t resign, and the Democrats are stuck with reports and campaign ads they won’t like.

Fairfax had sex with the woman. She says she was “forced”, he says it was consensual.

The rules should be more along the lines of innocent until proven guilty, fairly difficult. But now the #MeToo movement is changing the rules to be: guilty upon accusation unless proven innocent. And the Dem media, and Dem colleges, are strongly promoting this non-legal rule for punishing men outside of legal courts — in the court of Public Opinion.

Because Dems are happy with “guilty unless proven innocent” when it punishes Reps, or men, or white people, I now recognize that Dem influenced social norms will only change when more Dems suffer punishment from these rules. Rules I don’t like, and want to see changed.

The “guilty upon accusation” rule is bad, and should be changed. It will change faster if more Dems, who can’t be proven guilty, get punished because they can’t prove themselves innocent.

As somebody who has changed from supporting to opposing “responsible promiscuity”, I advocate that men now avoid casual sex.

I hope Fairfax gets a bad reputation, gets pushed out of office, and no women vote for him in any future election. No criminal indictment, tho.

@Dave, ” Most of those who Stalin sent to gulag were his former comrades, ”
Pu-leze. The vast wide majority of those sent to the gulag under Stalin’s regime never met Stalin, and huge numbers were believers and anti-communists. If you meant “personally sent by Stalin”, then of course it would be the former comrades and others who were working with him. Sort of like “only a very high commie, like Brezhnev, could kill KGB chief Beria”.

“if you were facing the same dilemma as these women were, how would u choose?”

I only know about the women friends I have who chose to bear children with severe disabilities, and had no questions about making the choice: 1) a boy with severe autism (he is now about 36 years old), and despite the doctors’ warnings, the mother elected to have 2 more (perfectly healthy) kids; 2) spent 9 months with complete bed-rest and delivered a healthy boy, then DID IT AGAIN for the next (also fine) baby; 3) hypocephalic boy, who was a couple of years old when we moved away; 4) a darling, sweet girl who had dysfunctional legs, her brothers took her around the neighborhood in a little red wagon.
And that is all within one small congregation of about 150 families.

I do understand that the story was published by the guardian, a publication that couldn’t be more left in the political spectrum, and every article they have published was socialist propaganda written with the goal to push the leftist agendas. Every word was carefully chosen, every sentence was carefully arranged, and every angle and meaning of any story was distorted, spinned, twisted, manipulated to maneuver the reader into faithfully believing how the left want their readers to believe.

However, setting agendas aside, and giving them the benefit of doubt that the facts presented were generally true, if you were facing the same dilemma as these women were, how would u choose? I understand these may not be the norms, and most late term abortion requests were not for reasons with the same weight and urgency but darn it does make you question

Of course he’d sing a different tune. He is of the left and conducts himself according to the Dialectic of the Left; “when I am the weaker, I ask for mercy because that is YOUR principle. But when I am the stronger, I show no mercy because that is MY principle”.

“I am sick of this lack of nonpartisan supports for this man right for due process from the republicans just because he is on the other team” Dave

Inherent to the term “team” is conduct consistent with a shared set of ‘rules’, customs, laws, etc. Those on the left are in constant violation of the very rules/customs/laws which they insist that we conduct ourselves by. They pay lip service to the rules but their actions betray that they hold those rules in contempt. That behavior is in fundamental opposition with being a “team” but it is consistent with that of an enemy in a war.

Which begs the question; when will you accept that the Left has declared war upon you? Hopefully, not before its too late and, it’s very late.

Totalitarian systems find dissent to be intolerable, an anathema. If you’re not with us, you’re against us is their default position. Since you’re a ‘deplorable’… indeed an “irredeemable” (beyond salvation) you’ve already been judged to be guilty as charged and thus have no right to due process.
