I came close to posting something about this several days ago. The post wasn't going to be about these accusations, but something he did in response to the stories as they first started to break nationally.

A cease and disist letter to Kash and the FBI. That was the subject. My only point was going to be this. If you don't want people to pay attention ... might be a good idea NOT to send something like that and make it public. My thought was, "everyone is going to look now."

And lo and behold.

(Spell check turned that into "And lol and behold." Ironic.)

Californication is an interesting series.

About time. This dude is a douche canoe. In 2018 he said “we believe survivors”…..he must’ve decided unless it was about him then he doesn’t believe them. Fuck him

Which is also the line Katie Porter has used this week only to be community noted about her domestic abuse (and staff members.) It's a comedy of errors, it seems.

Steve Hinton, or Hilton (I'd have to look it up) is the leading Republican, right? Coincidentally, an immigrant. I'm assuming dual citizenship.

Then we have the guy I'm seeing reported as the new Democratic leader for Gov., Tom Steyer. Setting aside his past with private prisons now holding folks about to be deported and those upset about that; what's Bernie and AOC gonna say with a billionaire candidate? I'm guessing his wealth will be "excused" under the guise of "look how much money he's given to climate change groups." But hey, maybe he'll get the bridge for butterflies finished.

Swallwell will hopefully go on a revenge tour against the D's now.. He knows a lot of dirt and where the bodies are rotting.. but he may end up getting Seth Rich'd for that.

Swallowell...

D or R, he needs to fade - as Mike Tyson put it so eloquently - into Bolivian.

I agree with this; to an extent. There are questions I believe we need to have answered.

As example, why does a grown man, married with kids, have a premium SnapChat account? Inquiring minds know.

On a serious note, if the stories are true that there is a "slush fund" for Congresional member to pay off accusers? I want him to remain in the news IF more of this is brought to light. My tax dollars shouldn't be a "get out of jail card."

Lots of things I'd prefer mine weren't spent on, fraud and the politicians involved in it being the top of my list. If the federal government would quit growing and let the states decide which programs they want to run I think our money would be better managed, or at least allow us to move to a state where it was.
