Without knowing any facts other than the very limited information in the media, my opinion is that Lauer may be the first high profile accused person who falls into what I said in the Weinstein thread in politics:
Perhaps something will come out that has me eating my words, but at this point this doesn't feel right to me.
This is not completely out of the blue. There's been a context of scandal and sexual impropriety around Lauer for years now.
And frankly, this sexual harassment tsunami seems to be taking out Leftists at a better than 10-1 ratio over Conservatives, so I'm good with it. We've been dealing with Alinsky tactics, double standards, and Kafka trap catch-22's from the Leftist-MSM-academia axis for so long, we are WAY past the whole "stick to our standards" and "lets be better than they are" phase of things.
We've been in an alleyway broken bottle knife fight with the Left for the past 50 years, and all the time, we've been indignantly filing written complaints that they aren't following Marquess of Queensberry rule.
I know that many of us, at least since the Clinton Administration have been frustrated to the point that we've been willing to see it all burn down, rather than have the Left win.
Well, this is a major fire, mostly for the Left so far. And we didn't even need to attack to set it off.
A new sexual harassment McCarthy era, enduring the not-insignificant downsides of the Trump Administration... these are really quite peaceful and bloodless alternatives to what we've ALL been thinking about, but rarely discuss, or only obliquely, which is namely, shooting all the leftists we can once everything goes to hell.
