My confirmation bias is rather obvious, but I'll say that at this point, this story looks to be transitioning from rumor-grade to public accusation. It also looks to be at least some women from within the past decade. FWIW, Swillwell married his second wife in 2016. Details of his first marriage are not online that I could find. If claims of Swillwell having played mattress polo with Fang Fang are correct, Zipper-Wisdom and Swillwell are not close acquaintances.

Swillwell's campaign has issued an emphatic categorical denial.

Swalwell Campaign Denies Harassment Allegations

Yesterday I wrote about the allegations that had started to circle around Rep. Swalwell as he campaigns for governor of California. A progressive Democrat named Cheyenne Hunt put out videos on TikTok alleging that a friend of hers had been sexually harassed by Swalwell and that, since talking about it, other women had come forward. In a thread on Twitter, Hunt claimed she was helping connect these women with reporters and that another, larger group of women were independently talking to reporters.

Today, Swalwell's campaign responded to the allegations by denying everything.

Quote

A spokesman for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading Democratic candidate for California governor, on Tuesday denounced online claims that the congressman had inappropriate relationships with young congressional staff members.

“This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race,” said spokesman Micah Beasley in a statement that was first reported by Politico...

“In 13 years, no one in Eric Swalwell’s Congressional office has ever been asked to sign an NDA. Ever,” Beasley said. “In 13 years, not a single ethics complaint by any staff in his office or any other office has ever been lodged. Ever.”/quote]

Maybe the claims are false, or maybe Swillwell is lying, hoping to brazen this through. If the claims are false, well, a Dem getting falsely Epsteined feels like karmic justice to me.

gopiscrap is deeply sad because Trump is succeeding and is working with Israel. And that Israel is unlikely to face a nuclear threat from Iran in many years, if ever.

A child of refugees who fled murderous oppression should understand that Trump is trying to take down Iran's "civilization"-of-oppression and free Iran's people. This grandson of refugees - my Dad's parents were Volga Germans who fled Russia before the Revolution - gets it. They did well in the US, no whining from me on that angle.

Unlike gopiscrap, I'm not self-blinded by Trump-Hatred. Had LIEden or OhBummer! done this instead of placating the Mullahcrats, trying to buy peace, and thereby giving them time to develop nuclear weapons*, I would give them credit for doing something very right.

BTW, in 2008-2009, there was a popular uprising in Iran. OhBummer! could have supported them, but instead betrayed them. Could the Mullahcrats have been deposed? Who knows, but OhBummer! did not even try.

* Remember when Israel hacked Iran's centrifuge network in 2009, causing them to spin out of control and self-destruct? Might that have set back Iran's timing enough that Iran didn't make nuclear weapons during LIEden's MalAdministration? Or forced Israel to act preemptively against Iran without the support of LIEden's Israel-hating minions?

I have been walking around with a deep sadness today

I just can't shake it. As the child of a refugee and an immigrant myself, I have suffered first hand what war does to both the people fighting it and their families. We never should have gotten to this point. What the **** is wrong with the god damn republicans? As a citizen I apologize to the world. Most of us would love to sit at the table with you and bask in both our diversity and yet sameness.

We all long for shelter, to be clothed, nourishment , education, health care and most of all, community.

To my sisters and brothers in Iran, I do not support trump, in fact I abohor what he is doing. It weighs heavily that I am a citizen of a nation that will commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.

If word salad Harris was doing the same in Iran you would be cheering. Sit down and STFU.

Some DUmp money never saw the movie Bat-21 about how we rescued a downed Air Force Col. from the NVA after 11 days in the jungle and the amount of resources it took to do that. Or how about the story of Rescue Dawn where a Navy Skyraider pilot was shot down and what it took to get him back or maybe they should read the medal Of Homor award given to Maj Fisher for saving a wingman from capture while under intense enemy fire.  Who am I kidding. That would mean they would actually care about the military for them to do that.
