President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Scenario C: YF takes potshots at real-life professional employment of people on this board. That's what I was talking about. It's the kind of shit you have said you hate to see on here and he has done it, yet you constantly defend him.

 

Another big name.

Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

She complained that a powerful congressman harassed her. Here’s why you didn’t hear her story.

 

He does not criticize people for being journalists. He critiques journalism. When have I ever said I hate to see that here? It’s why the board exists.

 

I'm not taking about taking potshots at journalists, though he does that as well.

I'm talking about taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others, including members of SJ.com. I thought that was something you had a problem with. Perhaps I misunderstood your position on such behavior. My mistake.

 

When has he ever done that?

 

Multiple times. I can't figure out how to cite the examples without outing people, but he did it. You are free to take my word for it or not.

 

These days, you can no longer tell. World is no longer binary.

 

I hope you can figure out how to let this feud go. I decided to embrace @typefitter, for example, and let bygones be bygones. Now we’re practically brothers from another mother, cracking wise on each other.

 

Re the McMaster story today.

 

I thought we were here to be semi-serious and semi-humorous.

 

It's not about a feud, Dick. I post what I know when I can. If you want to dismiss what I posted as something said out of animosity, that's on you, but I think in your gut you know better.

I've shown I can let feuds go around here. Ask BYH if you doubt me.

And with that, I will drop the discussion because I can't further it without outing people.

 

You've got the semi-humorous down!
