I am quite surprised that some folks here assume that every accusation about sexual harassment is genuine.

That is all

18. What's to investigate?

The evidence is what was said, or what was remembered to have been said, and what was told to others at the time, and what each says, now, about it. Gov. Cuomo should clam up. Anything he says will be parsed until it is used against him.

How do you investigate this without the term 'hearsay' surfacing?

101. Where was the angry mob

When Kavanauah (mr. I like beer) was claiming innocence. There were scores of women that were kept from testifying against him....

An investigation is in order. Period.

15. Yes, that's no more fair than not believing any woman

No one facing such a charge should be presumed guilty any more than for any other charge.

19. That is frightening. An incident I'll never forget: I was at ER w/a friend.

There were 2 young ladies there in the waiting room. They were near me & I could hear their conversation. One was telling the other that she was going to blame a man she knew to get back at him. She was going to falsely accuse him of assault. I was horrified, and stunned. I regret with all my heart that I did not say anything. This was about 45 years ago, and still think about the man, and the heartlessness of the young women.

As always, your wisdom shines pellucidly through.

25. How about "Listen To Women" ?

The problem has been too many women were not seriously listened to to get a proper investigation.

Imho I think most women are not lying.
Still context is needed as well to get that possiblity crossed off. I don't want an innocent man to be punished either.

27. How about " innocent until proven guilty?" Has a nice ring to it.

50. That's a nice way of saying

... ANY accusation against a high-powered Democrat is most probably NOT genuine.

Causing an insurrection at the Supreme Court maybe?   :banghead::banghead:

Selective memory is a DUmp requirement, isn't it?

116. The RW has identified this as a wedge.

They understand that Dems will act on sexual harassment claims. They're counting on Dems to OVERreACT. To sexual harassment claims.

Yes listen to accusers. But allow for the possibility that they are motivated by partisanship and or not genuine.

The democrats UNDERreACTed when it came out that he murdered thousands of senior citizens with the Chinese virus but if sexual harassment claims are what it is going to take to get him thrown out of office, then that'll have to do.

I believe it's "Believe all women, UNLESS the guy they accuse is a Democrat."
It's a philosophy they've had since Al Franken got accused if not earlier.

...and he would've gotten away with it too if not for that darn photographic evidence...

It's all just a hive-mind scam:

Quote
The Slate editor and left-wing legal analyst who prematurely condemned now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for the false sexual assault allegations brought against him now wants due process for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was accused by multiple women of sexual harassment.

In 2018, Dahlia Lithwick wrote an article titled “Fear a Justice Brett Kavanaugh: As his confirmation steamrolls ahead, Americans should be terrified,” arguing that the “criminal proceeding — innocent until proven guilty” was a GOP-created sham and that Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford,  presented a “damning and plainly credible testimony” and “undeniable narrative” that was ignored.

It's amazing how they went from believe all women to women might lie. It's so Dem of them.

it's amazing how a simple little letter ("d" or "r") can make to the credibility of the accuser and the accused...

I wish I could say I was surprised by their immediate 180 on this, but sadly I'm not the least surprised.
