On this scale? Nope.

So your theory is after some arbitrary passage of time victims should just keep quiet because of your inability to understand why it may help them for thier story to be heard.

Lordy
30 years later? Seriously if you hold onto shit for that long, it's either a lot more than they are admitting, or there is something else involved.
I get that it might be cathartic but on a national level that long ago with no way to verify? Something stinks.

If that's what you think I meant then you truly are too fucking stupid to be part of this conversation and you probably should be in the kitchen cooking and not fucking up a conversation.
Is that better?

"Conversation". ROFL

There is no "length of time" that makes bad behavior OK but damm, claiming he tried to kiss you 25+ years after the fact is sounding lame IMHO. If this even happened he tolerantly did not bother her further and 65 women now working in the media industry have all signed a letter stating Brokaw,
"A group of 65 women in the television industry have circulated a letter in support of NBC's Tom Brokaw after he was accused by a former colleague of unwanted sexual advances. The women said he has treated all of them with fairness and respect, giving them opportunities for advancement and championing successes in their careers."
Doesn't gibe with someone who disrespects women at all, until further proof materializes I call BS.

No, I think what I am referring to is refusal to admit to a preponderance of evidence that exceeds reasonable doubt. In short I find you consistently dismissive of the evident to the extent I have judged your dcapacity to infer guilt to be unreasonable rather than reasonable. It is fou people with traits like yours that we have sayings like, “If it walks like a duck.........”. You often appear to be dismissive even of duck DNA.
You're talking about Trump. So far the investigation hasn't produced evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to help him win the election. At least that information hasn't been released.

But it is obvious he's a criminal, if not about provable collusion then about something. All that is pending is a conviction. Until that time he is technically innocent while his guilt is self evident.

If we're following the precedent set by previous presidents, he still gets to commit a felony on national TV and get away with it.

Not exactly sure what you are saying here but it sounds right. He seems to obstruct justice on a regular basis. I think Nunes does the same think and should also be prosecuted. I think he's leaving congress because he colluded with Flynn to get help from the Russians and for sticking his nose back in after being recused.

Ah, good -- this claim is looking more questionable than some, so I can understand your hesitation. I've just had too many instances where there were multiple victims or other solid evidence and some guy would insist that you couldn't trust the allegations until there was a court verdict.
