    Cory Booker needs to keep a low profile.

    Guy is a publicity hound like Lindsey Graham and two dozen other Senators.

    The difference is that Lindsey Graham's actions have improved his public perception, Spartacus' actions have made him nothing but a meme and someone to laugh at. He's basically the next Howard Dean.

    After a career of treading water and kissing ass to survive -- 'The Bachelor' has transformed himself into Trump's rent boy to improve his standing with 40% of the population. Of course this doesn't change the fact that Booker is a dipshit.

    well, obviously can't speak to the truth or falsity of these allegations, but the line from Airplane jumped into my head because of Spartacus.

    Well, if this is true, this is quite the bombshell. It could end his career.

    *Don't know if it's true and will presume it's not until the situation plays itself out.

    Are you saying that you don't believe survivors?

    He didn't accuse them being a liar, unlike how you did to multiple people that stepped forward.

    You'll recall when Franken was accused he ultimately resigned.

    There was picture evidence against Franken and multiple accusers all with picture evidence....even then he was forced to resign by the DNC, he didn't want to do so himself.

    That's besides the point though, Spartacus set the standard of uncritically believing survivors, thus he should be held to his own standard. I'm still allowed to use my brain because that's the standard I set.

    I am pretty sure Cory Booker, Keegan Michael Kay and Richard Jefferson are the same person.

    I don't know what to believe.

    Apparently this person has hired a prominent civil rights lawyer and is weighing coming public. That would lend a lot of credibility. If the event/timeline can be proven that would add even more credibility.

    I think it is prudent to gather as much pertinent information as possible on any subject before rushing to a conclusion.

    Oh I agree, I won't believe it until it is largely proven, I was just commenting on how Corey Booker decided to handle other accusations that were unproven and later shown to be likely false. The reason you don't try and lynch someone like Kavanaugh over false accusations is because you never know, you could be the next facing false accusations.

    The guy is all about grandstanding. He is so desperate to reinvent himself as "fighting for the little guy" though he is rightfully seen as a long term water carrier for Wall Street and Big Pharma.

    In the picture Franken didn't appear to be actually touching her, so not really, but it was the multiple accusers that brought him down.

    No, not in the photo, but he was making the groping motion while she was asleep, if you had a similar picture of Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford, the confirmation hearing would have gone VERY different.
