I am so upset about The New Yorker
article by Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow, two sterling journalists, about
Eric Schneiderman now former attorney general, a liberal's liberal,
that last night I wished I drank. I do not drink but I wished I did
because these allegations IF true, and I am assuming the women are
believable by just reading The New Yorker story (linked below) is SO
outrageous on a scale of 1-10 it is an infinity is sickening and a
threat to liberals everywhere. His career will be finished and if those
women prosecute he could go to jail. I went to bed thinking about it
and I woke up thinking about it. I didn't go to bed until 1:00 a.m.
because I had to calm down and knew that story about one of the
strongest Democrats and progressive liberals destined to do and has done
big, wonderful and humane things would ruin my sleep. I wonder how he slept.
Forgive
my hyperbole but I must write in such a way as to express my outrage.
It's the hypocrisy stupid!! I just do NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT
times infinity get it. I do NOT get these men ESPECIALLY liberal
progressives who commit these violent, sometimes racist, career ending
outrageous acts. Those who speak for humane justice, fairness and
humanity who are in supreme positions of power to obtain that justice
but commit career ending acts. Those who are the criminals of those
crimes get prosecuted by men like Schneiderman and sent to jail or in
Trump's Trump University civil case Trump, bastion of electorate
outrage, Eric Schneiderman got him to cough up 25 MILLION! These alleged
acts of sexual violence are so sick it defies description. The
HYPOCRISY is enormous. Again, I do not get it. These men of great power
think
they are so powerful they cannot get caught, are above the law and the
president of the United States can get away with anything even as he
said if he shot someone in Time Square.
I even feel bad for men who are righteous and how scared they must be. All it takes is one time, one allegation and their career is ruined. If JFK were alive today he would have surely been impeached and possibly convicted. JFK compromised national security by an affair he had with Judith Exner, a mob kept woman. Just think about it. Thomas Jefferson would have been taken down by Sally Hemmings, a slave he impregnated. Where does it stop? The question at hand is either power or men's unabridged sexual proclivities most women cannot understand that is so strong it simply, in many men, cannot be denied no matter how risky, no matter how threatening, no matter how illegally wrong?
The
earth has been around for 4.5 billion years and man, who evolved much
later, has evolved to this. Just think of all the men who preceded
Schneiderman and did what he did to women with impunity no matter how
violent. With all those years of cultural advancement I still just
don't get it!
