    1. Yes, sexual harassment should be disqualifying for all elected officials regardless of level or party.

  1. Meanwhile, over on the Republican side, President-elect Trump, found liable for sexual molestation of a woman, and with a history of allegations regarding sexual harrasment of other women, goes about staffing his new adminstration with with a nominee for Secretary of Defense who denied sexual harrassment, but paid damages anyway…cause, you know, he didn’t really mean anything by his conduct…
    and the nominee for AG of the US accepted the offer to be the next US AG, and promptly resigned his Congressional seat before the House Ethics Committee could release its report scheduled for two days later regarding the nominee/ex-Congressman arising from allegations of sex with underaged women and drug usage.

    and back in Indiana, Todd Rokita works on his plans for the next term while the Supreme Court weighs, now that the election is over, whether to commence disciplinary charges against Rokita for publicly denying the agreed compromise over his discipline for improper condut immediately after the 30 day suspension was announced. Apparently the Court, composed entirely of Republicans, lacked the judicial backbone or sense of judicial propriety to suspend or disbar the Republican candidate for AG for an offense which surely would have seen any other Indiana lawyer suspended or disbarred in a heart beat…

    Shame on the Democrats for their conduct today; but shame on Republican voters who in any fashion try to make anything of this. You Republicans just voted in the biggest sexual harrasser to occupy the White House since Lyndon Johnson…

    1. Now now, Indiana Republicans did drop Curtis Hill from the ballot in 2020 for Todd Rokita. Best I can tell, Rokita beat Hill 52 to 48%. By a slim majority, in that one case, they decided sexual misconduct was disqualifying.

    2. “since Lyndon Johnson?” Don’t overlook John F Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy, Gary Hart, Bill Clinton, and who knows how many more. Very sad on both sides of the aisle though.

    3. Timmy’s reaction is a manifesto of “Republicans suck!” and his sole reaction to his party’s actions is “shame on you” LOL

  2. I realize that this behavior is in no way confined to the halls of government, but with 340 million people in this country, why is it so hard to find, in either party, people who are decent and competent?? No wonder the electorate is disengaged!!
