Rape? Forced sodomy? Here we see "me too" was just a Democrat political ploy.

Democrats have no foundational beliefs at all. On anything. They just seek power and will do and say whatever seems expedient for their short term gain. They are just out for themselves (as we saw when they just cheered themselves and no one else at the SOTU).

These women should just go and make statements to the cops, and let the county prosecutors do their job. If guilty by a judge, then send the guy off to 6 to 12 months of jail, and that takes care of the impeachment business. Let the legal system work like it’s supposed to run.

Personally, I’d like for all three guys to just remain in their position, and the entire primary campaign in Virginia....for state jobs and the Presidency....will be about blackface and rape. I’d buy a couple of panel trucks with some big poster on it....let them drive around the state and park it in public parking....send a message.

I haven’t heard any details of the second woman coming forward, but the first one admitted they were kissing/making out in a hotel room. You cannot blame a man for being forceful at some point while making out with a willing woman IN A MOTEL ROOM. I do not give her a pass. And when a young couple is drunk and the girl later charges the boy with rape, not working for me. She didn’t have to be there drinking, making out, drunk. Guys are just human too.

“A Virginia lawmaker is now suggesting he won’t move forward Monday with plans to introduce an impeachment bill seeking the ouster of Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.”

Sounds like they did some focus-grouping of their black voters.

I don’t judge adults by the things they did in high school or college, but credible rape and sodomy charges matter. Except for BJ Clinton of course.

He's challenged the nature of the encounter. He’ admitted to the sex.

That's not a venemhent denial. It's a nuanced HE Said SHE Said situation. And he's called her a bitch because of the charges

Where are the #metoo marches demanding he resigns? Where is Ashley Judd, Linda Sansour? Leaders of the #me too movement?

Yeah, crickets.

I believe that in VA Articles of Impeachment can only be filed for “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” committed while serving in their elected office. Obviously the allegations against this Lt Gov occurred long before he was elected.

So yeah, they are circling the wagons and they are going to leave a probable rapist in the number two seat in the Virginia executive branch.

Tell me something I don’t know.

I have been saying for some time that the Democrats do not care about women, and now it is laid bare for all to see.

Oops, from the headline, I thought this was about President Trump. The RATS in VA are doing a wonderful job of destroying themselves. {Snicker}

A race card beats a “me too” any day.

No, the issue is that the acts occurred before Fairfax was elected, so the alleged rapes are not impeachable offenses under Virginia Law because they did not occur while in office.

Unless you like throwing around impeachment charges against people for things not done while in office, in which case the Dems would like your support in their impeachment case against President Trump.

The Democrats might be waking up to the fact that their closets are full of skeletons. I still wonder who opened the door on Northam and Fairfax.

Its Justice. Just us, not you. Haven’t figured out laws are only for the chumps, not them yet?
