Funny how Feinstein received the letter in the Summer and is just now pursuing it...
I think we could use a whole lot more "cheesy" right now. Life was much more relaxed and less stressful back when we had some "cheesy" in our life to laugh at and have fun with. Seems everything now is way too damned serious.Quote:

Life should always have "fun" moments - and the more the better!

I think even most of them see this for what it is. I read today that some of Diane Feinsteins democrat colleagues in the senate are irritated that she held onto it since it July.
Good question. She has had the info all summerGap said:
Why didn't Feinstein ask these questions while he was UNDER OATH last week?
It seems like they need to update their playbook for these so that step one is a question under oath in the hearing and later the accusation.

If an average citizen gave such info to the FBI or the police on a senator would they be charge for making false allegations and making **** up?
How does it work when an average citizen gives an anonymous letter to the police accusing the mayor of some crime?
If Feinstein and friends can't ID the accuser then they should be charged with fraudulent crime reporting, like an average citizen would be.
These anonymous accusations are total bull*****
I'll tell you why. Because the Anita Hill approach backfired. I watched those hearings for Justice Thomas. Having her there testifying, although dramatic, didn't move the needle. As a woman in the legal biz back then, it was like, "You couldn't handle that piddly ass crap? Really?" Harassment meant something altogether different back then.captkirk said:Good question.

I agree and the 80s were fun. I went from 14 to 24 during them, fun times. And yes, too much of everything these days, especially politics in every damn aspect of life and people constantly offended by everything.NormanAg said:I think we could use a whole lot more "cheesy" right now.

I was talking with my husband yesterday about how, as a woman, this kind of crap really pissed me off.
People like to say that women are afraid to report rape...if it happened why?? Say something!!!
If women are so strong and hard core and can be warriors or President, why the shrinking violet behavior?
It used to be that if someone came at you with unwanted advances, for example at a party, you ran and told someone who told their older brother and the guy would get beat up and /or become a social outcast for being a slimeball. Social justice would prevail and he would never get a date again.
Now all of a sudden we have women so "affected" by some grabass that they need counseling and 35 years to come forward. F every #metoo woman, I disown you for not reporting these crimes when and if they actually happened and only when socially or politically advantageous. DISOWN! No pity.

Because for many, being raped is something to be ashamed of because you think at the time it is your fault. You did something to make that person rape you and you don't want people to know.
That is why you don't report it.

See, I hear what you are saying, and i sympathize with women who were not instilled with a self-worth in their upbringing that made them come to that conclusion...but I was a kid in the 80s and they told us then 35 years ago that rape is not your fault and always tell. I have a book that I kept for my daughter about how to tell an adult about unwanted touching copyrighted in 1980s. This is not a new conversation.
The lack of feelings of self worth should not be a barrier to the pursuit of justice for a crime. I am sorry, but not sympathetic because by not reporting you let a rapist go free to rape again.
In the case of #metoo where we are lumping groping, power plays, and other nonrape sexual offense, I am even less sympathetic. Truth is no woman had the balls to change jobs or report abuse. Woman was restrained and got away, and waited til June 2018 to tell, give me a break.
