    You may want to get some caffeine in your system before you make stupid post like this. You are confused about what I said so you may want to reread it. I never claimed she was young and changing her opinion. I said if she wiped away her digital history like Ford, that nobody would have this ammunition against her. The part of my post about young people had nothing to do with her rather it was about todays young people in the future. There will be many young people who mature and change opinions on subjects. If they do not wipe their digital history anyone looking may very well find statements on both sides of an issue.

    You may want to check your own integrity before you start judging others. You fully intended to try to defend (or at least deflect from) former congresswoman bono by bringing up and connecting it to Dr. Ford (much like trump tried to defend Saudi Arabia by bringing up kavanaugh). Again, these were made in September, and she should have fully known the political implications of her post. And this in no way is comparable to Dr. Ford or any young person posting on social media. This was a former congresswoman, trying to make a political point.

    If that was not your intent, you would have said "While the former congresswoman was clearly tripped up by her own social media mistakes... " and then you could have brought up how all people, especially young people should consider how their social media will be judged in the future.

    I think Scrubbing social media would be a pretty lucrative business

    U.S. Marshals arrested the former CEO and president of USA Gymnastics in Gatlinburg, Tenn., on Wednesday on a warrant for tampering with evidence related to the investigation into possible wrongdoing at the Karolyi Ranch.

    According to a release from David Weeks, the district attorney in Walker County,

    Penny ordered the removal of documents from the Karolyi Ranch after learning the Texas Rangers
    were investigating allegations that Larry Nassar had sexually abused gymnasts there. The records
    were delivered to Penny in Indianapolis, but their current whereabouts are unknown.​

    The third-degree felony is punishable by two to 10 years in prison.

    “The removal of the documents was done for the purpose of impairing the ongoing investigation by destroying or hiding the documents,”
    the statement said. “The Texas Rangers and the detectives believe that those records … would have helped in their investigation of Nassar
    as well as assisted with the investigation of other offenses that may have occurred at the Karolyi Ranch.”

    Good for Biles. USA sports feds are in the same boat as the NCAA when it comes to parasitism and exploitation.
