Pelosi and the Dem leadership.

Sorry, Republicans have zero standing to criticize anyone for not calling out their own party for graft, corruption, sexual assault, et al.

I don't want to hear shit from any Republican on this sort of thing while they happily allow Trump and his merry band of grifters and criminals to operate with impunity.

Fuck that.

They’ve known about his antics for years, including jeopardizing national security with a Chinese spy while serving on the Intelligence Committee. But now things are going public (and may harm his chances in the election) so the Dems are dumping him. Sort of like the way Dems covered up for and gaslighted us about Biden until they couldn’t anymore after the debate.

How many years have you known Trump was a scum bag? For most, it has been since the 1980s.

The staffer who alleges sexual assault says it happened twice in 2019 and in 2024

Hmm. That's an awful long time between these encounters. That can't be common.

Remember: Biden had his own accuser, that lunatic Tara Reade woman who decided to take up residence in Putin's Russia and whose story had tons and tons of holes in it.

I'm not saying any of these accusations are as dubious as hers, but we do need to remember that people can have many different motivations for coming out with this type of story. Like that guy who claims he was Epstein trafficked and jammed a pole up Trump's ass -- that story was obviously bullshit and yet it got some press and some play.

If I had to take a position here, I would probably lean toward calling on Swalwell leaving the race. But I'd also want to know if there was any corroborating evidence.

I think it's common and ok to feel two things here
1. Gross and if he did it then get him
2. Also kind of wtf on the timing ... Like why did these women wait until now?

Like sexual misconduct is wrong. But to get your justice you don't need to wait until a person is getting lots of publicity...

Pubs have been digging up dirt on top Dem candidates (Swalwell, Porter) to cripple them for the Top 2 Cali elections. There are 2 Pubs and 8 Dems. If the Dem vote gets split far enough, then the 2 Pubs could get the top 2 vote getters and Cali would end up with a Pub Gov.

THAT explains the timing.

After reviewing the news, I think there is way too much smoke here and Swalwell needs to withdraw.

At this point no matter the particulars of the allegations he is done. Dems are very good at getting rid of those in Congress if the news is bad.

My hope is that he will not drop his lawsuit against Trump now that a federal judge ruled a few days ago that it can go to trial.

My big take away from the Al Franken staged photo - never trust a Republican to not stab you in the back.

Yeah, many people don't know that the woman playfully grabbed Al's ass while they were performing before the troops. On the way back on the plane to the states Al returned the favor and pretended to cup her breasts as a joke. There absolutely was no reason for Dems to kick him to the curb.
