(4,387 posts)...Im not a fan of #BelieveAllWomenInstantlyWithNoCriticalThought. It opens a very dangerous door in my opinion.
When the first accuser was previewed by Roger Stone, is a frequent guest on Hannity, pushed birther garbage, and engaged in similar sexually charged conduct on the same USO tour it casts a pretty large shadow over whatever else comes out.
The anonymous accusers? No dice. Face the person youre accusing or dont. This stuff is serious and it needs to be taken seriously. No one should be able to anonymously ruin somebodys life with accusations like this.
The rest of it is people claiming he did touched them wrong, in large groups of people, in front of family members, with cameras focused on him. None of the pictures show the extreme fear and dread the accusers say they felt. I compare it to the Taylor Swift picture and the difference is entirely evident.
The article yesterday from Tiny Dupuy suggesting that him taking a picture with her with his hand on her waist was groping really bothers me. Thats standard hand placement in a picture. Thats an expansion of the definition of groping to a really extreme degree.
