Sen. Gillibrand Now Conveniently Woke: Bill Clinton Should Have Stepped Down
[guest post by Dana]
This certainly takes the irony cake: Kirsten Gillibrand, who filled Hillary Clinton’s New York Senate seat when the former First Lady became the Secretary of State, and who just last year hit the campaign trail with Bill Clinton on behalf of his wife, now conveniently claims that then-President Bill Clinton should have stepped down when his inappropriate relationship with a 22-year old intern was made public. This is also the same Kirsten Gillibrand who has simultaneously praised Bill Clinton and worked on legislative ways to protect women from sexual abuse, (particularly in the military and on the nation’s college campuses):
Asked directly if she believed Mr. Clinton should have stepped down at the time, Ms. Gillibrand took a long pause and said, “Yes, I think that is the appropriate response.”
Gillibrand then offered a troubling excuse for Bill Clinton remaining in office. An excuse that disturbingly seems to echo a similar excuse made recently by a disgraced show business executive:
But she also appeared to signal that what is currently considered a fireable offense may have been more often overlooked during the Clinton era.
“Things have changed today, and I think under those circumstances there should be a very different reaction,” Ms. Gillibrand said. “And I think in light of this conversation, we should have a very different conversation about President Trump, and a very different conversation about allegations against him.”
…
A spokesman later said that Ms. Gillibrand was trying to underscore that Mr. Clinton’s actions, had they happened in the current era, should have compelled him to resign.
Of course, this makes one wonder, if the culture changes again in 20 years time and reverts back to those by-gone eras, would Gillibrand’s reaction change accordingly too, especially with regard to Bill Clinton?
Gillibrand goes on to suggest, or perhaps hope that we as a nation are experiencing a watershed moment in history:
I think because, when you have hundreds of thousands of people coming out every day about all industries saying, ‘This is what happened to me,’ I think a lot of people have finally realized, ‘Wow, I didn’t quite realize this.’
And while some people may just be realizing this, certainly Gillibrand, who graduated law school in 1991 and spent years working in law and politics, as well as being the leader of the Women’s Leadership Forum of the DNC, has long known what took place, and continues to take place in her “industry”. But she also knew back then, and even up until the election, who could help advance her career:
[Gillibrand] worked for Hillary Clinton’s successful 2000 U.S. Senate campaign, and Bill Clinton campaigned for her first run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006. Gillibrand has also spoken glowingly of Hillary influencing her to get involved in politics, and she has frequently complimented Bill over the course of her career.
With that, former adviser to Hillary Clinton, Philippe Reines called out Gillibrand on her obvious hypocrisy:
All of this sudden wokeness from the left side of aisle is sure tiring.

You may think that 20 years is not a lot of time, but remember this: women couldn’t even vote about 100 years ago. Since most of us here on this site are not excessively young, that means that most of our Great-Grandmothers couldn’t even vote! And they probably had to hear the Biblical word, “obey” a lot too.

Icy (b8832b) — 11/18/2017 @ 6:39 amInteresting new — and seemingly credible — rape allegation by an actress who was 17 at the time, against a writer for ultra-hip HBO series “Girls”. Writer on the show was 35 at the time.
The interesting part is that Lena Dunham, star and creator of “Girls” has come forward to defend writer, and basically calls the claim part of the 3% of reported rape cases that are false. She writes:
“Our insider’s knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident sadly that this accusation is one of 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year.”
I guess that’s a publicists way of saying Aurora Perrineau is lying.
Perrienau was 17 at the time, and is the daughter of actor Harold Perrineau.
Perrineau filed a police report with LA Sheriff’s Office on Friday. The incident was in 2012.

From someone named Denizcan James:
shipwreckedcrew (56b591) — 11/18/2017 @ 6:51 amMy two favorite quotes from Michelle Goldberg’s editorial in the NYTimes, which seems to be a thinly-veiled plea to throwing Franken under the bus as it’s necessary for the coup against Trump to take place:
“When that photo was taken, Franken was a comedian, and at the time comedians enjoyed wide cultural license to behave offensively.”
The thought police have come a long way since then, comrade!
and
“The question isn’t about what’s fair to Franken, but what’s fair to the rest of us.”
And M Goldberg gets to decides what’s fair…….a female replacement with no voters involved!

She would do well as a Pashtun wife.

Ivey said today she was bothered by the allegations against Moore, but had to weigh all the available information. She was asked if she believed Moore’s accusers.
“I certainly have no reason to disbelieve any of them,” Ivey said. “The timing is a little curious. But at the same time, I have no reason to disbelieve them.”

Ben burn (03656a) — 11/18/2017 @ 7:26 am116 — Ben: what’s the trouble? I read the article. Nothing unusual in it when it comes to building projects in third world countries which are rife with political and financial corruption.
Trump’s organization didn’t have any stake in the project — it simply licensed its name. That brand caused people from other parts of the world to pay more — that’s why the owners of the project wanted to use the Trump brand. The fact that the owners of the project accepted money from dubious sources, and likely involved laundering money from illegal activities, doesn’t impact Trump. They didn’t own or run the development of the project, i.e., they weren’t soliciting the investors.
This is the basic left-wing journalistic playbook against Trump’s business — find projects that Trump has TANGENTIAL connection to, and then tar him with whatever was done inappropriately by the people actually in charge of the project.
Makes for nice headlines, and makes for fodder for dupes like you, but if you read the article its pretty clear there’s nothing there.
Sort of like the Trump Baku Tower project in Azerbaijan that was all the rage a couple weeks ago.

It includes study of universal values such as the essential equality of all men and women, human or natural rights, obedience to the law of land, concern for health and safety and, increasingly, also for the natural environment.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 11/18/2017 @ 9:09 amSWC,
Burnie is too busy bashing Christians and conservatives to come up with a rational response to your remarks.
He’s a good little Stalinist. Just ignore and move on.
NJRob (b00189) — 11/18/2017 @ 9:16 amJust like juche Dave, except he fancies himself an anarchist, which magic eightball dictates always lose.

103. Dave (445e97) — 11/18/2017 @ 1:50 am
But he gave that two important qualifications.
1. This is a claim of consent, at least once you pass the very beginning of the grab. He said they let him do it – in attempting to overcome Billy bush’s possible skepticism, he said they (women in general?) would let anyone who was a “star” do it. That was in 2005.
2. In 2016 he said that was just “locker room talk”
In other words, he was lying.
Except that Trump has not wanted to be clear about this claim that he was lying.
Now there were some other things he said in that tape that are less likely to be lies – like, at some point in the past of 2005, trying, and failing, to seduce a certain married woman, even though he helped her buy, or select, furniture, I’m not sure which.

If it were true that this was not Steele’s work, it would mean that Clinton campaign had some other contacts with Russia, but this was probably just a lie, and it was based on Steele’s work, perhaps twisted a little bit
It has come * out recently in closed door testimony of Trump’s bodyguard in 2013, before Congress (the House Intelligence Committee) that they were offered (five I think) prostitutes, but turned down the offer, without even telling Trump, because he didn’t take it seriously, but he did tell him a bit later and Trump supposedly laughed it off…
————–
* But that’s based on a leak, and that story or parts of it, may not be true. And it could be that it is really some other elements of what he supposedly said that Keith Schiller’s lawyer, Stuart Sears, is complaining about being misleading versions of his testimony. Schiller is mentioned in the dossier I think.
