No need for insults, feel free to post in this open thread - it is non partisan.  

Verified evidence is appreciated.

Sorry. I just find it  hypocritical of the Democrats who scream RACISM and SEXUAL ASSAULT at Republicans with little or no evidence and want them removed from office, but then close ranks and defend themselves in the face of real evidence and credible assault accusations in Governor Northam's AND Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring's blackface controversy and Lt. Governor Fairfax's sex assault accusations by two different women. Four of Fairfax's staffers have resigned. I found it interesting, all three are Democrats, and Herring is 3rd in line to the Governorship. The 4th in line, is a Republican. 9_9 Oh and don't get me started on Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison.

Booker, Feinstein and Harris orchestrated a shit show at Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation, trying to destroy a man based on feeble vague details of a supposed assault where Ford couldn't remember the exact date, exact location, hell, even the year! Kavanaugh got confirmed (thank goodness) and Ford disappeared with a million+ bucks in a gofundme account. 9_9

If you were the victim of sexual assault, wouldn't you remember every detail? Even if it happened 30-40 years ago? A friend of mine does. Everything. It's so vividly seared in his memory. Which is why I believed Ford was full of shit, as were the other accusers who eventually recanted.

"Little to no evidence?"  You mean like direct testimony of the people they assaulted?  Well, as long as they are women you can probably ignore their testimony.

So you're saying Christine Blasey Ford's testimony was believable? I've got beachfront property in Kansas to sell you. :D

It's not like she made the accusations YEARS ago, in therapy, before he was anybody known publicly.

Oh. Never mind then.

Yep.  Several GOPers who interviewed her believed her as well. Their attitude could be summed up as "we believe you.  We just don't care."

First, That's not an assault accusation. Second, referenced from both Wikipedia and a general awareness of the real world...

 

"Major national Democratic officials also called for Northam to step down, including 2020 presidential candidates Tulsi Gabbard, Julian Castro, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris,[109][110] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Governors Association,[111][112] former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,[113] Senator Bernie Sanders,[114] and former Vice President of the United States Joe Biden.[115] Faced with increasing calls for his resignation from fellow Democrats, Northam has reportedly considered leaving the Democratic Party and trying to hold on to the governorship as an independent.[116][117]"

 

Doesn't feel like closing ranks to me. Billy, do you even care that you have done almost nothing but post stream after stream of obvious, verifiable, partisan lies and falsehoods since you came back from your ban? Does it give you the slightest pause for thought that almost everything you post to support your political beliefs turns out to be untrue?

More Americans believed Ford than Kavanaugh. How many beaches do you have in stock?

Many Rs believe her too. They just don't think it should matter given the ages of the young people involved and the attitudes to that kind of assault.

Until you came along this was a thread devoted to documenting scumbag politicians of any party.  You  have turned it into a partisan insult-fest.

Billy has a long history of shitposting and trolling. His general post history shows that the far majority of his posts are intended to inflame or incite reaction.

Personally, I have no indication or reason to believe his current motivations for posting would be any different.

Have you noticed that he has yet to respond to any questions about his posts? I've asked several and gotten nothing.

He knows he's posting garbage.

AZ state representative paid minors for sex

Both 15 or under. One 13, the other developmentally disabled.  He took probation, then had his record expunged, without a judgement. Had he faced similar charges today, such an agreement would not be allowed under Maryland law. Probation before judgement is now barred for charges related to the sexual abuse of a minor.

Amid Scandal, Baltimore Mayor Takes Indefinite, Health-Related Leave

Just before she announced her leave of absence, The Baltimore Sun reported that health care giant Kaiser Permanente was seeking a contract to provide coverage to city employees and paid $114,000 to purchase some 20,000 copies of the books between 2015 to 2018.

"Under the deal with the medical system, UMMS paid Pugh $500,000 for copies of the books while she served on its board. UMMS paid $100,000 in each of five transactions in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2018 to purchase 20,000 copies of her self-published books at $5 per book.

At $5?  Good for lighting a fire, maybe.

I saw examples of these books on one of the weekly comedy shows (I think it was John Oliver).  If they were well-written and -edited, topical books, she may have had some kind of defense.  But no, they're total crap (and as you noted, self-published).
