These women do not exhibit the characteristics of pathological liars, in stark contrast to their assailant, Donald J. Trump. It is imperative to believe their accounts. Furthermore, it is essential to release the Epstein files.

The Republican Party lacks tangible accomplishments resulting from their policies, which may explain their tendency to fabricate misleading information. And only fools believe them. 🤪

My office has handled a lot of sexual harassment cases. “Her shirt was too tight” “She drank too much” “Why did she put herself in that position” “She was asking for it.” No. No. No. No. It’s not HER job to be on DEFCON 5 at all times. It’s HIS job not to be a predator. ~ Attorney Ryan

Imagine Sen. Eric Schmitt R-MO thinking he had a 'gotcha' moment at a hearing with Jack Smith - "I think you've already perjured yourself" - and it turns out his staff doesn't know the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes - unbelievable.

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.
