like i can understand wanting to look like a black person in costume as sort of a tribute/homage. its wrong but doesnt seem malicious.

thats a hard sell to a lot of black people tho.

i think fairfax has the best chance of surviving. just because it cant be proven and he hasnt admitted to it.

in fact...nobody is even really talking about what the actual accusations are. just that he is being accused in the midst of all these other scandals.

the only thing really standing in his way is the dem party hardline stance on #metoo (especially during the kavanaugh hearing). if there was a more patient/reasoned approach like due process, weighing all of the 'evidence', warranted standard of proof, etc then it wouldnt be as dire a circumstance as it seems right at this moment.
