THAT'S my President.

Part of me knows she would have been persecuted NON-STOP from the moment the election was called for her.

These jackals on the other side of the aisle would be launching a thousand investigations per day, really just for the joy of bedeviling her and giving her a rough time and as much bad publicity as possible.

My opinion, knowing and fully understanding that, would be to say - "okay then? Game ON! If that's the way the game is played, then HAVE SOME, YOURSELVES! Sauce for the goose? Sauce for the gander."

(In other words, "EAT IT, G-O-Fucking-P!"

I look at those goons with their big ol' bad-ass guns (hmmm... somebody overcompensating?)

and I find myself immediately wondering "what could possibly go wrong?"

What could possibly go wrong? And with hotheads like these, yelling, screaming, shouting, working VERY hard to intimidate and bully (as in, bully the governor AND those they see as contrary state legislators), brandishing all these military-style assault weapons, and turning the heat up all around them, emotionally, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Evidently the accuser didn't pass the Ronan Farrow test.

I read that the guy who broke the Harvey Weinstein story interviewed the accuser in depth, as did the two NY Times writers who won the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of Weinstein’s downfall. And they found nothing but inconsistencies and factual inaccuracies in her story. And none of them chose to pursue it.

They’d know. If any one of those three said there’s nothing there, that’s good enough for me.

I just think it’s awfully fishy. Joe Biden has been around for a long time. Several decades of high profile positions and public exposure. He’s just never shown himself to be that kind of guy. That kind of behavior was never there. All the women who worked with him or worked for him in his Senate offices over all those years - not one of them ever lodged a complaint. There would have been rumors and whispers all over Capitol Hill.

Nothing. I don’t believe this accuser. She surfaces at a most suspicious time. I smell a Russian - or maybe Roger Stone.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
