This has got to stop.. deep sixing the Me Too movement

Wake up and smell the coffee. The right and the certain elements of the far left are out to destroy the Me Too movement for political gain.

The Me Too Movement is about being heard and not dismissed. It is not that one side can say anything and the other side has to pay the price for a crime.

I have always said , that if someone lies another into jail, that liar should serve the sentence they had the other person put in.

I am seeing an all out attack on Me Too... On the right side it is to protect Trump.. on the other side it is maybe my person will get into office.

And using this hard fought movement for truth as a bludgeon to attain political power is despicable..

both for himself but the movement, women should be believed and then facts from both ides should be gathered and weighed for truth.

a liar. It's one of the reasons I can only go so far with someone's claims once things don't start adding up. I wish I could talk about it more, but it's an ongoing case. I can't wait for the day to see her completely deconstructed as the liar she is.

I do not see an attack on the movement. I see from the get go, conflicting words and interviews and backtracking.

about assaut. Claims she was fired but we find she quits to relocate with her boyfriend. Her claim matches a paragraph from her father's novel. Hasn't she made the same complaint about several other men over the years? That's what I have read onDU anyway.

You can't just automatically take someone's word, whether accuser or accused, without some sort of evidence to back up their claims.

But for a public opinion i suppose it would be allowed. I’m not a lawyer either but just what I’ve heard throughout the years.
