I'm not Mrs. Democrat, but here's my take on it:
 
She makes a fairly compelling case, even 30 or so years later. I
wouldn't expect everyone's memories to be perfect.
 
However, it's quite unlikely that a man would get to the point of
doing what she claims without ever having done something similar
to anyone else. It seems unlikely he was overwhelmed by her charms
and simply lost his senses. Her case would be more compelling if
other credible women came forth to tell a comparable story.
 
I don't give a shit about "me too". People have always been tried in
the court of public opinion. Employers have the right to fire anyone
for any reason.
 
Would you prefer that sexual predators keep doing their thing?

But some people do. I want the government to protect me from other people's
bad decisions. That's what it's there for.

I'm just glad South Carolina isn't following (yet) the example of
Georgia's Governor Kemp. Apparently it's very important to be able to
get your hair and nails done (which involve close contact) during a
pandemic. Oh, and everyone needs to be allowed to go bowling. These
things are *very* important. <snork>

OK Bruce...here's the deal.
 
John here often posts dumb shit and he is constantly picked
on and bullied to no end. Even when he posts normal things,
he's always critisized here. At this point, he is
damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
And you stick up for him because of the constant bullying.
I agree too.
 
Same for me with Trump. Not our best President and he often
says dumb shit but this insane constant bullying is not
right. He's also damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
 
You defend John against the bullying yet you join the
wolf pack against Trump. Respond with your niftiest retort
but you ARE a bully just like those you don't like.
Your way is not necessarily the right way.

Ever wonder why it took her almost 30 years to mention it? The Me Too
movement is older than that. She didn't speak up then.
 
Biden was called out early in his campaign (as a result of the Me Too
movement) for innocently touching women on their shoulders at press
conferences. He listened and stopped doing that. How about the many
women who accused Trump of being sexually aggressive over the years?
Ever heard of Stormy Daniels? Oh wait, she was paid off and quietly
disappeared. He was implicated in letting Harvey Winestein use his
Miralago Resort to entice teenage girls to come to "parties" at his
house... Would you have let your daughter go? POTUS, Kettle, Black.
 
You really should stop defending Trump.

Yup. Trudeau is intelligent, willing to make bold choices and has a
decent relationship with other world leaders or similar decency.

The Me Too concerns be because it almost seems like too many people want
to share the spot light of victimization. They can have some sort of
sexual liaison with someone rich and powerful, or later to be rich and
powerful, and then, years later, after someone else makes a complaint,
they all come out of the woodwork to be included.
 
We has a Me Too issue up here a couple years ago when a CBC radio host
was accused of assaulting a woman, and then two other women made similar
accusations. They dumped him in a heart beat and he ended up facing
charges. I had not problem with that because he was such a smarmy jerk.
He was acquitted on the charges.
 
When the crap first hit the fan the guy was quite candid about
enjoying rough sex. He liked to get physical and hit women, but he
complained that the acts were consensual.
 
The cases fell apart when the three women were caught lying repeatedly.
While one claimed that she was so pissed off she never saw him again, it
turned out that she had. They had more dates, more sex, and more rough
sex, and she sent him emails telling him how much she had enjoyed it.
That complainant and another swore that they had not discussed the
incidents and the accused with each other, but the defense checked their
internet records and found emails between the two of them where they
discussed the cases and what they had told the cops and the lawyers etc,
and there were thousands of similar emails.... thousands. Yet they had
denied discussing it at all.
 
The third woman claimed to have been so traumatized by the assault that
she never wanted to see the guy again, could not listen to his show, and
could not even listen to the show with a new host. She denied that she
had contacted him, denied emailing him, denied sending photos of herself
in a very revealing bikini. They had the emails and the photos and
showed them to her and she still denied it, but then admitted it, but
explained that she had been trying to lure him to a meeting where she
would get him to admit what he had done and apologize to her.
 
The guy was acquitted because the three alleged victims had zero
credibility. When you give testimony in court and get caught lying you
lose your credibility and any testimony you give is deemed to worthless.
This was a case where one women came forward with an accusation (later
settled privately) and then three more jumped in the bandwagon with
surprising similar stores, and each one was found to be lying.
 
The guy lost his job, his career and his reputation and his accusers
were all found to have been lying.

I met some of the regulars for dinner in London and am still in touch
with some of them. One of them visited me in Calgary.

Well my crockpot *IS* 40 years old. :)
Not as large as new ones but the cooking is still the same.
Basically, it just eliminates the stirring occasionally
necessary with simmering pots on the stovetop.

Not everything needs to be stirred. I cook stew and pot roast in the
oven and stocks on the stovetop. That's pretty much it for anything
that a crockpot might be useful for.

Had to ask Mrs. B. Corelle, Old Town Blue pattern. She bought them back in the early 70s when she moved out of her parents' house and got her own apartment. And here we are nearly 50 years later, still using them. I suspect you and I are not the only ones.
 
You can still find them.

When I was in school, never any air conditioning. We survived.
 
As far as wifi in schools, when my daughter was in high
school I don't remember cell phones yet but having a pager
on school property would get you expelled for the year.
(Back then, pagers were thought to only be used by
drug dealers.)
 
Odd times.

My elementary school was that way. No A/C, I used to bring my personal electric oscillating fan and suddenly everyone wanted to sit near me! :-)
 
Pagers? Cell phones? Hell, I could not even bring my pedometer, as the Lunch Lady took it away from me when I was wearing it and showing it to a friend at lunch! :-( That one of the things that taught me my most important lesson: Question Authority!
 
And not too long ago when I was querying my son and asked him what most important lesson did he learned from me, and he told me "Question Authority"! And I asked him and of course you applied that to the person teaching it and he said Of Course, and I knew immediately I've done a good job of raising my son! :-)

I'm often AFK because I *do* have other things to do. I must have
missed this "real estate deal" he's just been through that caused so
much trauma/drama. What happened? Did the last of his tenants finally
tell him to please practice social distancing?!
 
OB Food: I made a pot of chicken and dumplings yesterday. Thinking
about Tex-mex tacos for dinner tonight.

He's talking about buying the rooming house--when was that? 2018? The
closing date was 1/8/2019, so that should have been the end of the stress.
