Brokaw is a Shmuck
Not surprised one bit. His explanation smells, too. Lately, I have marveled at how the most staunch leftists are being exposed in this post-Weinstein period. This is interesting to me too because I've noticed Brokaw being featured in little mini-editorials in talk radio over the past year, each blurb seeming more leftist than the last. I thought, "He's really slipping over the edge...". I used to enjoy his reporting back when I had hope that the evening news was somewhat founded in truth. I hope this story is all false. But...my gut says it's not.
If it was okay for these women to wait 20-something years to come forward, we can wait a few years longer for actual justice to be done (arraignment if there is enough evidence for that (which is doubtful), trial, and punishment if adjudged guilty).
This #Metoo thing is one of the worst, if not THE worst, thing to happen to American justice in recent memory. Given the current state of it being the "correct" thing to "believe" these accusations with absolutely no corroboration, innocent men - and there are plenty of innocent men - have literally no way to protect themselves. Any man who has ever made a woman mad or jealous is at risk. To all the men reading this: not only are you at risk, especially if you are in any way successful and can be knocked down from your successful achievements and/or stripped of your assets, all your male children are at risk!
This needs to be stopped. As a woman, I don't see myself becoming a shining beacon in the Men's Rights Movement, because, while I am very sympathetic, I don't want to intrude, but if ever men needed to be paying attention and getting a resistance going, now is the time.
If a victim can't make up her mind to press charges within a few days, I tend not to believe she is a victim anyway.
Besides, nearly all of these charges aren't about real rape anyway. They're about cases where two drunk people had sex, or two drunk people were making out and one surprised the other with his hands, or a woman did it but now regrets it for some outside reason. The term "sexual assault" is often used to make cases like the making-out example seem serious when they really aren't.
I think it's time we expect people to behave like adults if they insist on having the rights of adults.
Like I told my twin girls, now grown with daughters of their own, "If you don't want your critters played with, don't take em to the zoo".
But there is a downside to the MeToo movement.
It is now trendy to believe the accuser.
Me dino does not know if Brokaw is guilty or not.
It's this in the vogue besmirching I'm leery of.
My question with all of this is why are all of the women in all of these cases choosing to step to the plate after so many years; is it to get money or 15 minutes of fame? And does anyone really care? from my perspective they too are the equivalent of a schmuck!
Trouble is, this lends Allred credibility when she again trots out Trump accusers when the POTUS is up for reelection. Recall reading some of those bimbos were paid thousands of bucks on the first go-round.
Saw right through it when Allred first pulled this dirty trick against Herman Cain, an Obama challenger whose same skin pigment that scared the hell out of the Jackass Party.
Recall Cain having a frail-looking little wife who obviously couldn't take that kind of crap.
Melania? That's a totally different kind of woman, who knew just what she was getting into with a flawed but very rich tycoon--even if it's tabloid true that she didn't expect to be the First Lady.
Live life and have fun, but me dino recommends concealed carry after learning how to shoot.
Having a small device that shoots pepper spray may be even quicker to get to.
Be cautious about food or drink served to you. Especially alcohol drinks.
You don't need to be where hits on a joint is being passed around. Time to go and any way you can.
Brokaw Is A Kidney?
Something to ponder.
I have never respected him for his work because I have seen the news anchors as nothing more than propaganda mouthpieces for more than 25 years, but I don't feel comfortable assuming he is guilty without a lot more evidence. For some things he may well deserve character assassination, but not on this issue on a lack of evidence.
