As usual, two sets of rules for politicians. Republicans get away with everything, Democrats self-immolate the moment one of their identity groups makes an accusation or is offended. Al Franken all over again.

Swalwell has been accused of sexual something by some woman, so he’s guilty and the party is already calling for his removal from the Governor’s race (and the Party?).

Trump has raped one woman, been accused of assault by many others, and is credibly linked with underage sex though Epstein, but there are NO consequences. Because he hasn’t been convicted of anything. That is the standard for Repubs. Not internet rumors (although in Trump’s case there is considerably more).

This is American politics, and why Democrats can’t win. They play by the Girls’ Rules. Repubs play by the Men’s Rules.

Maybe that upsets some people, but Fascism upsets ME.
