Somewhere upstream from culture and downstream from sexuality, a dam has burst. Of course, if no one gets legally punished for anything, we only got the haha from the brouhaha.
Whole lotta schadenfreude goin’ on out there.
The dam that has finally broken is the Progressive control and dominance in the media.
The reason is simple. The Progressives controlled the media, for all practical purposes, for about 35 years, 1960 to 1995. It was mostly semi-consciously through dominating leftist ideology through that period.
After the Republican revolution in 1994, their belief that everyone thought as they did (or at least a very strong majority of people that mattered) was shattered, and they became openly, aware, partisan hacks. They deliberately traded credibility for political power. That lasted another 20 years, but their power was waning, with most of the power being focused on national elections for president and senators.
With the election of Donald Trump, their credibility account has been shown to be bankrupt. With social media and alternatives to the establishment media, such as Fox and talk radio, they no longer dominate.
Because they no longer dominate, the scandals they routinely were able to spike, cannot be spiked any longer. The dam has been broken. I do not think they will be able to stem the flood.
The Ministry of Propaganda hoisted on their own petard.
This hysteria was initiated by Hillary Clinton’s insistence that DJT had harassed her. Women wanted to show their solidarity with Clinton by sharing their experiences. The only problem is they were all assaulted by Democratic supporters...liberals.
How many big time conservatives have made the press for sexual assault? Bill Cosby comes to mind, but after that I’m stumped. But think back to decades of Woody Allen and Roman Polanski and others of their liberal ilk. The count must be hundreds of liberal assaulters to...what? one or two conservatives? We should all send a big, unwanted kiss to Hillary Clinton, the gift that won’t shut up.
Sometimes a storm is the best way to clean out a swamp...
All these guys are icons of perfect masculinity as far as liberal American women are concerned. I relish their shock and disappointment.
Democrap femino-nazis continue to destroy their own!
Anti Trumper Garrison Keiller was fired from Lake Woebegon today for sexual harassment, according to Minnesota Public Radio!

I put my hand on a womans bare back, he wrote. I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches. She recoiled. I apologized. I sent her an email of apology later and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it.
Mr. Keillor claimed that they continued to be friends right up until her lawyer called.

Lake Woebegon where all the women are beautiful, the men horny, and the children above average.
I swear, we have embarked on a new age of “Puritanism.”
No longer will we be forced to hide our daughters!/S
I don't know where history is going to pinpoint the start of progressivism, but in my mind it started around GWB election, not 1960. Pre Progressives were just called liberals, and there used to be some democrats, now it's just progressives and liberals.
I enjoy watching the leftists in the media, Hollywood, and the government fall as much as the rest of you, but let’s not lose sight of due process and innocent until proven guilty.
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Thank You.
I have no problem with people who are actually guilty of real offenses being brought to task; but I get a creepy feeling when I see a frenzy like this, and men condemned and ruined through public opinion, and not through Proof.

When did bill Cosby become conservative?
Lest we forget, the left gleefully denounced God and Israel at the 2012 DNC convention, right in front of our faces on national TV. Did they really expect things to end well for them?
“When did bill Cosby become conservative?”
He was outspoken about the need for blacks to work, get married, pull their pants up...And, he was hated by liberals.
I have to admit, I didn’t follow much of anything he did one way or another. I just glossed over the headlines.
