senate dems need to grow a bone and make this #1 news worldwide and not let go. Reps would do exactly the same and would be 100% right. I voted for Feinstein in the primary but I am now seriously considering voting for DeLeon in general. He doesn’t hold back one bit.

of “alleged” drives me crazy. It’s like people don’t know what the word means. “The alleged suspect was arraigned...” No, if he was arraigned he is actually a suspect. “The alleged attack happened just south of the bus stop...” Does the victim think the attack was “alleged”?

"If convicted, he potentially faces a possible life sentence."

No. If convicted, he faces a life sentence. He might not get it, but that's what he's facing.

Why are they afraid to say stuff?

I never thought of that! Something else to make my teeth rattle when I hear newspeak.

Maybe they've stopped now that she's identified herself. All the same, she was never an "alleged" accuser. The act was alleged, but she did accuse him of it.

Wishy-washy, lazy and misleading.
