“Diversity” cuts across all boundaries. Back when I worked in corporate America, I had two White, male managers that were beyond incompetent. I’m (and others that worked for these turds) convinced they were only promoted because they were “yes men”.

Incompetent = incompetent regardless of skin color or gender.

This is not an accurate analogy or logical. Theoretically, anyone can be a yes man, so diversity has nothing to do with your example, nor does race.

I expect more out of people from this forum, and no I'm not trying to be a dick. Poor reasoning should never be the case around these parts. This is pretty bad.

“Poor reasoning”? You know opinions are like assholes, right?

BTW, look at the guys that liked my comment - long time, highly repped members. Good thing >you< expect more.

Maybe he meant "Diversity of intelligence"? We can't hire only smart people anymore, that would be discriminatory.

How else are we going to look smart unless we hire some stupid people to compare ourselves to? This is starting to sound like a Dilbert cartoon.

Another Democrat with weak game....John Conyers

https://www.buzzfeed.com/paulmcleod/she-....tlokDnGKp

Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sex acts, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

In her complaint, the former employee said Conyers repeatedly asked her for sexual favors and often asked her to join him in a hotel room. On one occasion, she alleges that Conyers asked her to work out of his room for the evening, but when she arrived the congressman started talking about his sexual desires. She alleged he then told her she needed to “touch it,” in reference to his penis, or find him a woman who would meet his sexual demands.

She alleged Conyers made her work nights, evenings, and holidays to keep him company.

In another incident, the former employee alleged the congressman insisted she stay in his room while they traveled together for a fundraising event. When she told him that she would not stay with him, she alleged he told her to “just cuddle up with me and caress me before you go.”

“Rep. Conyers strongly postulated that the performing of personal service or favors would be looked upon favorably and lead to salary increases or promotions,” the former employee said in the documents.

Three other staff members provided affidavits submitted to the Office Of Compliance that outlined a pattern of behavior from Conyers that included touching the woman in a sexual manner and growing angry when she brought her husband around.

One affidavit from a former female employee states that she was tasked with flying in women for the congressman. “One of my duties while working for Rep. Conyers was to keep a list of women that I assumed he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources,” said her affidavit. (A second staffer alleged in an interview that Conyers used taxpayer resources to fly women to him.)

The employee said in her affidavit that Conyers also made sexual advances toward her: “I was driving the Congressman in my personal car and was resting my hand on the stick shift. Rep. Conyers reached over and began to caress my hand in a sexual manner.”

The woman said she told Conyers she was married and not interested in pursuing a sexual relationship, according to the affidavit. She said she was told many times by constituents that it was well-known that Conyers had sexual relationships with his staff, and said she and other female staffers felt this undermined their credibility.

“I am personally aware of several women who have experienced the same or similar sexual advances made towards them by Rep[.] John Conyers,” she said in her affidavit.

A male employee wrote that he witnessed Rep. Conyers rub the legs and other body parts of the complainant “in what appeared to be a sexual manner” and saw the congressman rub and touch other women “in an inappropriate manner.” The employee said he confronted Conyers about this behavior.

“Rep. Conyers said he needed to be ‘more careful’ because bad publicity would not be helpful as he runs for re-election. He ended the conversation with me by saying he would ‘work on’ his behavior,” the male staffer said in his affidavit.

Another female employee also attested that she witnessed Conyer’s advances, and said she was asked to transport women to him. “I was asked on multiple occasions to pick up women and bring them to Mr. Conyers['] apartment, hotel rooms, etc.”

*SPICY!*

I'm not trying to get into a war which I feel like the last two posts have been baiting, but let me be clear: I agree with the point, but the explanation right after said point is not a support. That's all I said. I did not insult any forum member. I like the posts that the guys who "liked" it generally put up. I just found it weird how the example was non-sequitur at best, irrelevant at worst --- and people still liked it without paying attention to its lack of support, which was the point (white guys yes men etc = irrelevant to the example).

His statement seems to be that yes, there was a settlement, but that he didn't admit to anything and didn't do it. He only generously paid a reasonable severance to avoid taking it to court.

So...what about all the other crazy allegations in the sworn affidavits?



EDIT: Oh, lordy.

I've been on RVF for ~4 years and I’ve never interacted with you before. I don’t remember if I’ve even seen anything you posted.

You, totally unprovoked, tried starting shit with my post. Fact.

You've had myself and two other forum members (who I have interacted with) pretty much tell you to cease and desist. Yet, you still proceed. You’re obviously one of those “gotta get the last word in even though I’m talking out of my ass” types.

Maybe this thread isn’t the place for you. Your whatever you think you’re trying to do reeks of SJW “LOOK AT ME NOW!!!” tactics.

Maybe you should reread what you wrote above and I bolded. The only attempts at baiting and projecting are coming from you. Again, until yesterday, I never heard of you. Whatever problem there is, it's of your doing.

If for some reason you don’t like what I wrote, tough shit. Don’t read my posts. Or block me. If you have a problem, it is your problem. I just gave you two solutions. If you need attention, seek it elsewhere.

I think it was in the early-1990s when Al Franken was a regular with Ben Stein on the Comedy Channel, he did two long shows in which he took the live feeds from the Republican and Democratic National Conventions and he and several other comedic actors did running commentary and skits based on what was going on at the conventions. I can't find any scenes from it on YouTube but I think it was in 1992 because Reagan spoke at the Republican convention.

I watched both and thought they were hilarious. Franken was equally hard on the Democrats as he was on the Republicans. It's really too bad he turned out to be such an ass when he became a senator.

Correct, it was 1992. That was the last convention RR attended.

Both Franken and Stein veered left. That’s the reality: “Potomac Fever” is real.

Became a senator? Try 2000-2002 or so.

Like many of us at that time, the rise of George W. Bush triggered him badly.

Quote:Soros, Pelosi headline hush-hush 'Resistance' conference in California

Liberal billionaire George Soros and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi were listed as the main attractions Friday at a California gathering of the anti-Trump elite.

The four-day event in Carlsbad, titled “Beyond #Resistance: Reclaiming our Progressive Future,” asked that guests refrain from contacting the media or posting to social media, the agenda shows.

Other speakers appearing in person or via video were expected to include U.S. Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, D-Minn.; and Democrats Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and governor-elect Ralph Northam of Virginia.

Special guest speakers were listed as CNN contributor Van Jones and Center for American Progress CEO Neera Tanden.

The conference, which began Wednesday and runs through Saturday at La Costa Resort, was organized by the Democracy Alliance, a network of liberal donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

The purpose “is to generate support for Alliance Partner Organizations and engage in diverging perspectives connected to shaping political and policy transformation in America,” the report said.

When not plotting their next political moves, it's assumed the group will have access to the resorts 17 tennis courts and championship golf course, as well as pools and hot tubs.

Soros made headlines in October when he transferred $18 billion -- or "the bulk of his wealth" -- into his activist charity arm, making the philanthropic organization second only to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in U.S. assets.

Necro time, again.

I hope you have the mental fortitude and high tolerance for disgust. Because I want you to briefly pretend you're John Podesta. You're at Duke University, answering various questions, when a chick named Nicole asks you a fiery four-part question about (1) PizzaGate (2) That other illegal shit you did. (3) That other, other illegal shit you did, and (4) That illegal shit, as well.

How would you control your body language, your breathing, your water-reaching, your voice, and your words to best deny that you ever did any of it? Because you don't want to behave like a caricature of a guilty person, right?

Now you get to watch how John himself handled it.
