Good Grief.

Irrespective of his views and testimony regarding the Bidens, it sounds like Sondland himself pulled a Biden on these women.   (Among their other claims, did any of these women accuse Sondland of unwanted sniffing?)

I haven't felt that much in the 'ME TOO' movement has ever really 'rung true'.

Men are sometimes stupid, and too often let the 'little head' take charge. But women often take unfair advantage of that fact.

So many of these stories seem to come out so many years after the fact - and right at the moment when they can do the most political damage against the target du jour.

I don't care which side is using this sort of manipulation - it has to STOP, on both sides.

All men are in danger, every day - even the most decent - because of this poisoned atmosphere where a man's life can be destroyed just because a woman points a finger, with no real proof.

Enough!

Apparently that was a truncated list.

I’m trying to figure out the point of your post and how it relates to the article.

His post was about the background of Gordon Sondland and the article is about Gordon Sondland.

I'm trying to figure out why that is so confusing to you.

That was my though, also.

He was instructed before testifying as to what he was supposed to say and what not to say, “or else.”

He wasn’t supposed to testify that President Trump had said “I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo...”

And now they are following through with their threat.

See my post 72.

He/She made a point of picking out the part of the Wiki on Sondland which indicated that he was a Jew, of Jewish parents. He could easily have posted the more general information which begins the Wiki entry.

I don’t think that I’m the only one who noticed that; and I couldn’t help but suspect that they way it was done was not inadvertent.

More witness intimidation. Boycotting his businesses wasn’t enough.

There was no such point being made about them being Jewish. That was only one word from the entire paragraph!

I guess you missed the point about Mercer Island and the French Foreign Legion and the dry-cleaning business and his older sister Lucy Pruzan.

I guess the part about him marrying into the Durant Vineyards family was left out, but I suspect you are full of Adam Schitt.

Most of the me too stuff is pure manipulation and retribution for being disciplined, fired, not hired, etc etc etc.

Nevertheless there are clearly instances like Cosby drugging hundreds of women, Weinstein, epstein, etc that are totally legit. The Sondland stories fall right into that category. None of the women were trying to manipulate or gain an advantage by making their claims. And none of them are extravagant, fantastical or unbelievable stories. Just plain, mundane recitations of uncomfortably disgusting situations that many women have experienced themselves.

Sondland looks and sounds guilty. He is a dirtbag. No question in my mind about that. His anti trump testimony just demonstrates his waffling fickle lack of good character.

talking about backgrounds...

Alexander Semyon Vindman (né Aleksandr Semyonovich Vindman) and his identical twin brother, Yevgeny, were born to a Jewish family in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union.[3] After the death of their mother, the three-year-old twins and their older brother, Leonid, were brought to New York in December 1979 by their father, Semyon (Simon). They grew up in Brooklyn’s “Little Odessa” neighborhood. The twins appear briefly with their maternal grandmother in the Ken Burns documentary The Statue of Liberty.[4][3] Vindman speaks fluent Russian and Ukrainian...

Churchill again:

“In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing...

How about that, they opened their dry cleaning business in 1957, when Stanley Ann was attending Mercer Island High School. They may have dry cleaned her school uniform!
They may have played bridge with the parents of Marilyn Close, her classmate.

I believe the correct phraseology is, "What goes around, comes around." What you spread around will eventually come back to bite you in the butt.

But no matter. The point is, if you want to play hardball, you better be able to take it in return. I never understood how these people think they are not going to get caught in their own personal indiscretions after starting something with the president. Are they all in denial?

Once their sexual predilections are known by the media, they're lives and careers are toast.

Sondland should have kept his mouth shut and none of this "goes around, comes around" multiple sexual harassment accusations would probably have come to light.

Instead of the spotlight being on Trump, the media will now be focused on these #MeToo feminist accusers and off of Trump's impeachment.

Or at least you would think so. My bet is on the MSM not reporting this sexual business at all or very little coverage. Stories like this used to kill political careers. Now, they need to be controlled, otherwise they could destroy the democRATS' partisan, hearsay impeachment inquiry.

I wish some of this "what goes around, comes around" stuff would nail Anthony Scaramucci and his personal vendetta against Trump. He's a loud-mouth, little Napoleon braggart, out publicly betraying the president after washing out of his WH job that Trump gave him, in only eleven days.

He's deserving of some of his own comeuppance for a change.

Maybe Mary, the woman who went to school with the children of Bob Hope.

I’m naughty and you are wicked.

Why is such behavior newsworthy now?

This is what made him flip his script. They unleashed it anyway.

Except now it moves over here:

Nadler was born into a Jewish family in Brooklyn, the son of Miriam (née Schreiber) and Emanuel “Max” Nadler.[3][4] Nadler described his father as a “dyed-in-the-wool Democrat” who lost his poultry farm in New Jersey when the younger Nadler was seven.[5] In his youth he attended Crown Heights Yeshiva and is currently the only member of Congress to have a Yeshiva education.[6][7] He graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1965[8] (where his debate team partner was the future philosopher of science Alexander Rosenberg, and his successful campaign for student government president was managed by Dick Morris).[9]
