I don't understand this rant. Who's desperate to be what again?

some people are offended by crony-ism, more so when the bedroom is involved.

"Her relationship wasn't hidden"

Pete posted an article denying there was an affair.

It's gross. Trump has done many things at least as gross, but it's gross.

What article was that?

You have a real reading comprehension problem.

Here is the first sentence of what I posted
"Kamala Harris and Willie Brown had a relationship in the mid 1990s."

You sound like you got passed over for a promotion by a woman and now you are a poster boy for Misogynist Magazine.

Look at the list of people you have hated and attacked

Clinton
Lynch
Pelosi
Feinstein
Warren
AOC
Harris

Sounds like Brown just had an open relationship.

Checking a few check boxes and submitting a recipe years ago doesn't really strike me as a desperate act. As for Beto, his name is Robert, his family called him Beto as a nickname. He grew up in a city with a Latino majority. Don't know how this makes him desperate either.

Luckily they are not Republicans, either would have a hard time passing as a grumpy old white man.

"Checking a few check boxes and submitting a recipe years ago doesn't really strike me as a desperate act."

You left out all the times when she said " I am a native American, my maw maw said so, look at my cheekbones".

"his family called him Beto as a nickname"

You know this? Or he says so?

White privilege, mmm-hmm.

The link you posted, said it wasn't an affair.

Add Trump to that list. But I attack him when it's accurate to do so.

And I love Cortez, I absolutely love her, hope she rises through the ranks for decades.

Pete, your article said this..."However, the claim that Kamala Harris had "an affair" with Brown, implying not only that they had a relationship but that it was furtive and seedy, doesn't check out."

How the hell could the author know it wasn't seedy, was he in the bedroom with them?

Yes, I read that her lover, who was married, appointed her to public sector jobs with enormous salaries.

How many men has she slept with, who are (1) 30 years older, and (2) NOT in a position to help her career?

If you believe she didn't do it for the career boost,, can we assume you also believe that Melania didn't marry Donald for his money? Or do only liberals get the benefit of the doubt from you?

A recipe??????

So Jeff, what would it strike you as? Give me five... adjectives, nouns, or adverbs, that you would use to teach your kids right from wrong in the same scenario?

I'm waiting patiently to hear the responses from Harris, Warren, and Spartacus about this, they went "All In" early

maxine waters, who isn’t as important as those folks, went further, laying the blame directly on Trump.

for social
justice warriors of the left, acquiring victim status for yourself is a badge of honor. anything to be seen as a victim of trumplicans. this guy really rubbed salt into the perpetually open racial wounds of our
culture, and he diverted police resources away from solving the dozen homicides which happen in chicago every weekend, but which get no media attention because liberals cant use those 500 murders a year, as a club against trump. so they don’t care.

and the liberals will learn nothing, as they learned nothing from the duke lacrosse case. when the circumstances of
an attack line up to fit the preferred liberal narrative, we don’t need an investigation, a rush to judgment is acceptable.

Didn't Fox and Brietbart just accuse AOC of hiring her boyfriend when a simple call to her office would have cleared things up?

So your suggestion seems to be to wait until everything is finalized and some authourity says that it is ok to report the news.
