Even if Acosta misrepresented his (very central) role in getting Epstein off the hook during the confirmation hearings, the Miami Herald expose came out in Nov 2018. I can't imagine reading that and still being OK with Acosta remaining as Labor Secretary. And yet, not a single Republican who voted to approve his confirmation has called for his resignation.

We'd all like to forget him. If we could only make him go away.

Ironically, I could sort of 'pass' as I'm a straight white male (but not a Xian).But then I Iook like a bit of a bum, but not the type from East Butthole, Alabama.More like someone hanging around the Village in NYC, scrounging for LP money.

So many lefty men understand that racism is the point. They do not get that *being allowed to rape* is the point.

begin s/

Of course a good man should not be punished for banging these ridiculous little whores.

end s/The belief of the right to feel and be treated as superior based on whiteness is the point. The right for. men *for good families* to assault young women with impunity is practically part of the platform. It is not just "if he goes down, we go down" but it is an assault on what they have been raised to believe is part of their inalienable rights.

Not only did Kaine vote against Acosta, he made it absolutely true that every single Senator heard the accusation before they voted. Well done Sen Kaine.
