As much as I don't like either political party I recognize that the Democrats are easily the lesser of two evils.
Democrats don't hire agents to beat people who are in restraints, to rape women and children, to use torture, or to murder defenseless people who have committed no crimes.
Democrats don't allow men who sexually abuse children to remain in the party.
Democrats don't have a leader who has sexually abused children and has raped women. A leader with a lifetime surrounded by people who molested and raped children. A leader who stole from our troops. A leader who ignores laws and constitutional rights protections and freedoms.
Democrats respect and abide by the Constitution and the law.
IN NOVEMBER VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! BECAUSE IT DOES! TRUMP AND MAGA NAZIS ARE DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND THEIR CRONIES AND TAKING IT FROM THE WORKING RETIRED AND POOR! STRIPPING LAWFUL PROTECTIONS AND DOING AWAY WITH THE PROCEDURES TO REDRESS OUR VALID ISSUES! WHEN IT'S GONE IT'S GONE FOREVER!
Regarding the Hamdan case, let's no overlook the corrupt and authoritarian Cuyahoga County prosecutor Michael O'Malley, who attempted to railroad the New Era group, pushed the easily-disproved charges against Hamdan and let millionaire restauranteur-strangler Bobby George off with a talking-to. Miller has helped to yank the covers off of the weird antics of the Rocky River police.
This just proves, once again, the Republicans are the party determined to cause great harm to the American public. If they cannot condemn a domestic violent domestic abuser then the entire party is a party of violent domestic abusers. "You are known by the company you keep."
The Republican Party should be livid. Miller is going to eat up valuable resources to fight for that seat that wouldn't be as great with a different candidate as well as depriving other races of necessary resources to win or defend their seats.
Conservative men like toxic sludge like Miller. He’s an Alpha A hole who shows women and minorities what’s what and beats the rap for it. Many a scumbag admire that breed of bastard. Donald Trump surely considers Miller an amateur son of a bitch, but one with potential.
This is the result of a lifetime of never having to suffer the consequences of your actions and choices. It can come from anywhere but the fact that it seems to be a persistent permitted pestilence within the Unreconstructed Party can't be coincidental. The rot, corruption and immorality embodied in the GOP won't be scrubbed away solely by sunlight but one must disinfect before surgery.
When I was a teenager there was nasty big story about a famous person who raped a young woman, and he was acquitted because he was rich and she was allegedly tipsy at the time. I asked my father how this would have played out in HIS day (he was born in 1918) in the little corner of southeast Missouri where he grew up, and he said the girl's father, brothers, uncles and male cousins would all have waited until a moonless night, then tracked the SOB down and shot him. The Sheriff would have known exactly what went down and never said a word.
"This piece is written as if the GOP were a passive bystander. But Republican leaders could have told Miller to get out. The could have said they wouldn't endorse him, or fund the race. Instead they enabled him to stay." Hey, Billy-he's actually straight from central casting-perfect for the Republican Party "values" cult.
I can't even stand to read about Miller anymore because he's such a slimy creep. I keep thinking of the time when Sen. Al Franken was accused of sexual harassment and he almost immediately resigned and apologized. The contrast between the two cases is so sharp you could cut yourself.
I hate to say it broke my heart about Franken, but it did. Had his problem been an isolated incident of unwanted touching or kissing, it may have been a tougher call. Sadly, several women came forward with similar complaints about Franken being handsy and touching their buttocks or kissing them. He at least resigned fairly quickly and did apologize. I think people can learn and grow and do better. Franken was so bright and had real talent in using his satire and wit in Congress and in politics. He was a real loss. But yes, Miller is a bastard who hurts women and children and is accountable for nothing. Katie Hill is another. She had a consensual relationship with an adult staffer before she was even in Congress. Yet, she resigned despite being the victim of revenge porn. Dems don’t always take the high road and resign, but they do far more often, like it’s the 1980s when scandals like Miller’s would end his career in a heartbeat. Trump changed all that. Now the GOP will tolerate anything, even a potus with deep ties to Jeffery Epstein. We may never know Trump’s full involvement with young girls. Becoming potus may have saved him from that.
No, it's not nothing. My very first boss walked up behind me when I was sitting at a desk typing and kind of physically trapped at the desk, and then he put his hands on my shoulders, bent over and kissed the back of my neck, then asked me out to dinner. I could not escape because he had me trapped at the desk. He was the County Clerk and married to the local Prosecuting Attorney, who was a bitch on wheels, so I didn't even bother filing a report, I just found a better job ASAP. I have not forgotten it. It was assault, in my opinion.
Yes, an employer kissing an employee is a total breach of trust and abuse of power. And that’s even when the kiss is reluctantly accepted. I agree it’s assault to touch a person in that way. There was no consent at all, but even when an employee is invited into a personal, romantic or intimate relationship with an employer, it’s abuse. I’m sure that was a shocking and disturbing experience. I’m sorry you had to experience that.

He sounds like a perfect R candidate even if he doesn't have a sex abuse complaint.
The headline should have read "Mac Miller becomes the face of Ohio Republicans."
Well, shit. I didn't know he was Jewish. Also, we drove through Shaker Heights last weekend, on our way to a vegan soul joint in Shaker Square.

Yes! People ignore the unwanted touching, I guess because next to wife beating and child rape it’s nothing. But it’s not nothing....

Sexual approach at work is inappropriate and wrong..... hot take
Everyone expects Republicans to be corrupt, greedy, violent, ignorant, opportunistic, and racist, so they get a pass on all of that.
“a good person” , "Goodfellas".
"tomayto, tomahto".
Miller belongs in prison, not in Congress. Disgusting excuse for a human.
