IF it was ‘popular’ to do something stupid like... eating TIDE PODS, the #METOO people would do it.

At that level of government, it's necessary that everyone has blackmail material on them.

See Dennis Hastert, John Roberts and Racist Ralph Northam.

This is why the Media-Government complex has flipped out daily about Trump for three years - they can't blackmail him.

Was the alleged rape in 2000 before or after Fairfax was elected a Young Trustee?

DSG elects Fairfax Young Trustee
College/University Newspaper
February 17, 2000 | Chronicle, The (Duke University) (Durham, NC)
Author: KIA WRIGHT | Section: News

After greeting and hugging a group of well-wishers and supporters, Justin Fairfax explained how he felt in one word: “Blessed.”

A smiling Fairfax left last night’s Duke Student Government meeting as the University’s new Young Trustee.

“I feel like this process was difficult and took a lot of effort, but I would have not gotten this far if it had not been for people like my mother, my fraternity brothers, my family and friends,” the Trinity senior said elatedly.

Trinity senior Jeremy Huff, vice president for community interaction, explained the weighty duty of the DSG legislators yesterday evening in one simple sentence-”There is one item on the agenda, and that is the selection of the Young Trustee.”

Huff began the meeting by reading the text containing late President Terry Sanford’s original description of the Young Trustee: “A trustee is literally expected to have the trust of the institution which he or she serves.”

Sanford created the position in the 1970s to increase student involvement in administrative matters and to bring a young perspective to the Board.

Immediately following Huff’s introduction, Lisa Zeidner, Brian Stempel and Fairfax-the three Young Trustee finalists-gave their individual speeches.

After each speech, the candidate answered questions from the legislators.

Fairfax began his speech by thanking DSG for its exhaustive reading of his application and extending a heartfelt thanks to his family and friends for their support.

As Young Trustee, he said, he planned to address three critical areas-residential life, financial aid and community interaction.

In addition to being a resident adviser, Fairfax has also been the president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the only minority greek selective house on campus.

He said his intense experience in various activities has “imminently prepared him for life after graduation and for the role of Young Trustee.”

“The more students you know, the more visible you become to any body that you are a member of,” he said, explaining that his work with diverse groups made him better suited for his new role.

“My participation in a broad range of academic and extracurricular groups will help me to bring a broad range of opinions to the Board,” he said.

Jus wait until some White Dude in Blackface Rapes someone.

Rape while wearing Blackface will be ruled a Hate Crime and a Capital Offense.

The Woman “allegedly” implied that the Lieutenant Governor tried to use the prior Rape to shame her into not disclosing that he had also Raped her.

Sure. Your diddlebrain told you that you were raped, when it was actually not rape. You needed the publicity - we understand.

At Duke, the rapists are lacrosse players, not basketball players.

Coach K wouldn’t allow rape

“Duke. Again.”

In more ways than one. Just as the left is being hoist on its own petard, we have freepers running interference for them.

I believe the term is useful idiots.

How are they running interference. The woman said she was raped by a duke basketball player and the admin did nothing. Duke now says they will investigate.

Sounds like she is cover to blow the first allegation up.

That should've been your response to post #2 which was Wayne's. Did you respond to Wayne, ladyjane? I assumed post #2 was a joke so I responded to it jokingly. I'm surprised the mods didn't pull post #2 before I responded, though in fairness they hadn't had time as the thread was new. No, I would not want such tragedy to happen. Any tragedy. To anyone.

I read that book the summer before my daughter started college. It was very scary as a parent but looking back it was accurate unfortunately.

You can hardly blame a young man for patterning his behavior after the President of the United States, can you?

It does sound like Bill Clinton's mode of operation, so you have a good point there.

I think you are confusing the reaction people would have to a rape that actually occurred, and the reaction people have to rapes that may or may not have occurred. In particular, we have unfortunately seen a number of recent accusations of sexual assault in political contexts, like the one being discussed here, where the supposed victim turned out to be lying.

It does seem somewhat unlikely that a college girl would be raped twice within 2 years in college by people she knew and (a) not report either crime to the police, (b) repeatedly put herself in circumstances where the kind of behavior she alleges would have occurred, and (c) decide to report the second alleged rape now, in a political context.

The recent accusations of sexual assaults employed as a tactic in political disputes unfortunately reflect badly on everyone making similar accusations. In some cases those people really are victims, and for them the pain and suffering is magnified since their claims are discounted. They are sadly paying the price for the actions of the fake accusers whose goals are political in nature.

dems had to do something with all of the accusers they have lined up for the next Republican Supreme Court nominee. They rounded them up after the Justice Kavanaugh hearings but RBG is holding on longer than they expected. They had to set off that bomb somewhere and got a dem as collateral damage.
