John Conyers accused of sexual assault

This is the least surprising development of the year. The dude literally has always reminded me of the stereotypical mid-sixties inner-city pimp. The kind of sleazeball who'd get charged with transporting a minor over state lines (ala Chuck Berry) to "sing" in a "nightclub" type establishment.

I wouldn't go quite this far, but I'm not surprised either.  I'd heard some vague rumors a few years ago that Conyers had a history of sketchy behavior toward women.  He obviously needs to resign immediately.

I still feel like he'd be re-elected easily if he ran again.

I actually think he'd lose the primary if he did assuming he faces a credible opponent.  He only got 55% in the 2012 primary against badly divided opposition.

What happened to your old account?

Mondale is his original (only?) account. He just deleted all his posts a few months ago.

If you haven't, please mute him
