and America.
Northam has got this...but Fairfax needs more protection to keep them from Frankening him.

My take, Northam stays until King resigns, trump resigns and pense resigns, if they don't then fuck off.
because if Northam has to resign for something from 25 years ago, these guys have to go first for things they are doing now.

Northam needs better friggin' crisis mgt. people but I believe he's not a racist, and hence I approve of him not resigning unless some further evidence emerges.

(68,565 posts)help Trump much more. And for what something that happened 40 years ago? As for Fairfax...being accused doesn't mean he is guilty...dirty tricks brigade from the GOP must not get another win like they did with Franken.

(16,113 posts)Are you suggesting that someone shouldnt have to give up their position because of public pressure? Are you suggesting that people should be treated as innocent until proven guilty?

(658 posts)another day of folks likening the rape accusations made by two credible women willing to testify to accusations made by women, some anonymous, who were treated inappropriately during photo ops (allegedly).
It's really gross and very republican-like, but who cares, right? Just as long as no one is "Franken'd" and the GOP doesn't seize power.
Those tinfoil hats must be getting awfully schweaty by now.
Baltimike
(4,143 posts)women who are credible welcome an investigation too, and not just guilty until proven innocent.
THAT is what is gross. Tin foil hats be damned, because this is what's happening.

Baltimike
(4,143 posts)are being shamed by me at all. Do you think a man should resign if he maintains he didn't do it?
But yeah, sure, keep substituting your judgement for mine, while convicting could-be assailants without having any evidence that a rape was committed. The timing of their claims is suspicious and it is clear you don't welcome an investigation, you have already made up your mind.
I haven't, and I certainly don't think Fairfax should resign before a thorough investigation.
Nice that you mention 4chan, when it was indeed a right wing outfit that launched both attacks on the top teir for the Commonwealth within days of each other.
But you go on ahead....you just keep doing you. I'll keep doing me.
