Trump's Access Hollywood Tape May Cost Him the Rape Trial--and the Presidency

While it'd be convenient for Trump to be taken out of the running, the allegations are almost certainly false. False sexual assault and harassment accusations are common--and commoner now that the left has adopted them as part of the faith. And it's clear by now that basically any prominent conservative makes himself a target for them. They're easy to make, hard to refute, and proof basically doesn't matter. The accusation's the thing. It alone accomplishes the dirty work.
   Carroll's story is extremely implausible. She has virtually no evidence to offer. A jury would have to be cracked to rule in her favor, even given the almost absurdly light burden of proof in such cases. But I won't be surprised if that's what happens.
   Some of the other accusations--e.g. those of Stoynoff and Leeds--well, sadly, they don't seem that implausible to me. Terrible thing to say, really, in the absence of proof, and given that such accusations are now thrown around indiscriminately and strategically. The "Me Too" insanity, and the outrageous Kavanaugh business should have slapped some sense into people about all this... Progressives, I mean. But it didn't. False accusations of sexual harassment and assault are Woketarian sacraments now.
