Z. Autobahn posted:One pro-tip before weighing in on the Fairfax thing is to ask yourself how you'd react if the identical accusations were being raised about a Republican If the allegation came from a worthless ideological rag that exists only to fleece idiots and hurt vulnerable people? Probably laugh at it, like we have done many times in the past when left wing fringe "news" is beung stupid. Remember Banons Death Penalty? The only reason I'm simmering instead of amused is how this has become serious before it had any right to be serious, almost certainly because the person on interest is a black progressive. Not to say he didn't do it, its entirely possible he did, but right now this should be a joke and people are already looking to let blood.

I wonder if we’re gonna see them cog back to first, which I think is “bussing” as best as I can tell. Maybe a panic about “them” coming to affluent white suburbs, another huge bout of anti-public infrastructure sentiment from the dying old whites, who knows.

And, knowing the state of US social services, leaving the humongous, insurmountable bill at the feet of the families, I’m sure.

She did come forth though, to the Post. I'm just concerned about reacting to this story in a way that reinforces why woman don't report. Imagine that this story is true, and the woman is reading some of the comments about the story. What would she be thinking? Are people reacting in a way that would let a woman know that if she came forward, we would really listen to her story?

They're merely regurgitating the Big League Politics story and explaining why they chose not to run the story back when Fairfax won the Lt. Governorship.

The Post is corroborating that the woman came to them with those same allegations. They felt like a single accusation from a source with no evidence was not credible enough to run with, which, incidentally, was how the Kavanaugh allegations were treated until they leaked.

So it’s unlikely this was an attempt at planting a false story, like that conservative idiot who faked a story about Roy Moore under a false name to discredit the nyt?

Given that the Post confirms the woman came to them during his confirmation, long before anyone imagined he'd be replacing Northam, I'd say it being a planted story is extremely unlikely. That's another similarity to Kavanuagh btw (the allegations coming in advance of the person being in a national position).

I think the proper thing to do is wait and see how this develops without getting strong opinions on it until then because we are in a fun mess with a black male being accused of sexual assualt in an enviroment where womans testimony is flat out ignored. But this is D&D so argue away.

Ultimately I think it will depend on Northam. If he steps down I would look for Fairfax's accuser to come forward and tell her story in person (assuming the story is real).
