“The first crime in the Bible” besides the murder of Cain? Plus the rape of Dina, and the kidnapping and selling into slavery of Joseph… I am sure there are more before that, but it’s early and I still haven’t finished my coffee.
Glad Noah spoke up and said that. The #metoo movement wasn’t forgotten because of George Floyd. It was forgotten because Tara Reade’s (and several other women who worked for Joe Biden) credible allegations, as well as video after video showing him creepily touching and smelling the hair of women at public events, would have torpedoed his presidential campaign. Biden had to get elected, so Tara Reade had to be ignored.
The idea that it’ll be Trump’s fault if the sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo don’t get traction, as Christine suggests, is not serious analysis. That requires me to believe that the media has been holding back on going after Trump all these years on rape charges for…what reason? The same media that didn’t hesitate to go wall to wall coverage on Julie Swetnick’s entirely unsubstantiated allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, a veritable saint compared to Trump? The media that gave Stormy Daniels plenty of airtime and propped up Michael Avenatti? There’s nothing holding them back if there’s a rape allegation against Trump they’d like to bring forward, credible or otherwise.
