Eric Swalwell and the Death of Accountability - The American Prospect
His sexual misconduct was an open secret. So why was he still seen as a rising star in the party?
Good question.
The truth, which will be available for all to see before long, is that Swalwell’s conduct with interns, young staff, and female fans was an open secret for a long time, and yet the party, if not Pelosi in this case specifically, had been supporting him and raising money for him. That speaks to a larger problem... There are public claims on social media going back to 2020; this more recent one is from an aide to one of his opponents in the governor’s race, Antonio Villaraigosa. There are more private claims that go back all the way to when Swalwell entered Congress in 2013.
So... self-sabotage for the party, because Dem voters don't put up with this shit.

Useful TRT YouTube explaining "How British colonial rule laid the groundwork for Myanmar’s persecution of Muslims, an internationally recognised genocide rooted in the colonial era."

Why does the CEO of Ford hate capitalism?
Uh... Does he not know that Ford sells and makes cars in China AND imports them to the US? Seems like something he'd know ...

Yes yes, but see, while the base manufacturing costs are the same, China is less concerned with maximizing profits to the extreme to please share holders, so they don't mark them up a lot.

Yup, he's only thinking about the shareholders. Not about Ford, or their workers, or manufacturing in America.
