    No. But it's a non-issue.

    The problem with the Trump haters is that Trump could look up and say, "The sky is blue". Immediately, you'd have a cacophony of voices screaming, Trump lied! The sky is black at night!

      @Jolly I agree. It is a non-issue. But it is funny.

      I don't know what would be a good analogy. Maybe someone here can fill in the blank

        No, bringing it up multiple times is not passing conversation, it's a perceived issue looking for an audience or affirmation.

          @Jolly LOL

          How many times on this forum board has been referenced VP Harris "allegedly" sleeping around? Are people not looking for an audience of affirmation?

          I think that a serial adulterer who has been found guilty in civil court of sexual assault and yet endorses a Bible is open to the same "ridicule".

            You equate endorsing a bible with using sex to further a political career?

            Are you out of your rabid-arse mind?

              Confirmed teetotaler Trump endorsed vodka, the same drug that killed his brother at the age of 42.

              In his defence, I don't think there's much connection with the stuff he puts his name to.

              I was only joking

                LOL. Just not sure why there is the outrage about making fun of President Trump (of all people) when he endorses a Bible. I think it is pretty funny.

                  I don't think anyone has accused her of "sleeping around." unless you consider having an affair qualifies as "sleeping around."

                  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2019/01/27/willie-brown-kamala-harris-san-francisco-chronicle-letter/2695143002/

                  Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown addressed his past relationship with Sen. Kamala Harris in a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday and acknowledged giving her appointments that furthered her career.

                  "Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago," wrote Brown, who said he had "been peppered with calls from the national media about my 'relationship' with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president."

                  Harris' office did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on Brown's letter to the Chronicle.

                  Brown was married at the time he and Harris dated, but – because he had been "estranged from his wife" Blanche Brown since 1981, according to People magazine –the relationship was not kept secret. A Sacramento Bee reporter told People that Brown "had a succession of girlfriends" and would "go to a party with his wife on one arm and his girlfriend on the other.”

                  Although Brown supported Harris in her successful 2003 run for San Francisco district attorney, she tried to distance herself from him in that race, telling SF Weekly that Brown – whose career was dogged by corruption allegations – was an "albatross hanging around my neck."

                  "His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing," she told SF Weekly, vowing, "If there is corruption, it will be prosecuted."

                  Among the issues that followed Harris from her time with Brown was the allegation of cronyism in his appointment of her to two well-paying posts.

                  "Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," Brown wrote Saturday. Brown was the speaker from 1980 to 1995, prior to his stint as San Francisco mayor.

                  Brown appointed Harris to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and then to the Medical Assistance Commission – positions that paid her more than $400,000 over five years, according to SF Weekly. Brown also gave Harris a BMW.

                  "And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco," he said in his Chronicle letter Saturday..

                  "I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians," he added.

                  "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            Based on various HR mandated training on sexual harassment that I have gone through, it would seem like Mayor Brown is the one who should be in trouble. (assuming of course, his help to her career was based on her either going out with him or sexual requirements.)

                            She is really not in the wrong in any way.

                            Not knowing exactly the situation, difficult to say.

                              Agreed. But this was 20 or so years ago. And Brown admitted, at least tacitly, that their relationship was helpful to her relationship with him. Nothing sexual was overtly stated. They just (cough) "dated."

                              "Wrong?" Perhaps not. "Qualified" is another question. Did she climb the ladder because of her relationship with Brown?

                                If it's ok for Trump to boast about getting away with sexually assaulting women because he's famous, I don't really see what the problem is here.

                                I was only joking

                                    Good point Jolly. Trumps history of sexually assaulting women would only matter if the people who support him objected to such things.

                                    Only non-witches get due process.

                                      I could comment on the casual misogyny of many Trump supporters who are willing to forgive the old man his moral transgressions and write off his odious behaviors as ‘locker room nonsense’ but suddenly revert to biblical moralizing when a woman is involved.

                                      But what would be the point? We can all see the hypocrisy and double standards at work here. Sure he’s a sad old relic of a bygone age, but he’s your relic, right?

                                        If is was some sort of "quid pro quo" sexual harassment, the power dynamic is definitely NOT with her. It is easy to look back and make assumptions like, "oh, if he came on to her, she should have just quit, should have reported him, etc." Not so easy sometimes. I assume he was the mayor at the time, and she was a city attorney?

                                        Fortunately, never happened to me, but treatment of woman in the workplace in Asia is generally pretty bad, especially lower level. I "think" that in the US it is better. Watched a K drama a while back called "Something in the Rain". If you want to see a pretty accurate portraying of how woman are treated and the sh*t (pardon my language) that they have to put up with in Asia, watch that. (Here is my mini review. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/99/what-are-you-watching-now/140?_=1723862088914)

                                        Anyways, if she slept with him or dated him or whatever (either voluntary or semi-voluntary) I really don't hold that as a black mark against her.

                                        (Side tangent, but people (including me) sometimes wonder why a woman will return to a guy when she is in a domestic violence situation. Statistics show that usually a woman will return to a guy up to 5 times before finally leaving. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems)

                                        Okay. Rant over. LOL

                                          Hot damn! I got a three -fer!

                                          Excuse me folks, but that civil case on Trump was pure NYC bullshit and wouldn't have held up in any decent court in the country.

                                          Y'all know it. I know it. The majority of Americans know it.

                                          Now, did Trump run through some women in his day? Damn right, Skippy. That tends to happen with multi-millionaires. Money and power are the best aphrodisiacs.

                                          So, how many of these women did Trump screw to further his career or his businesses? How many did he have sex with, in order to launch his political career?

                                          How about zero?

                                          Now, we know about Harris. Woman would fuck a snake, if somebody would hold it for her and it would further her political career. That's obvious. That's factual.

                                          And it's something Trump never did.
