An Open Letter to Kevin Spacey

Dear Kevin Spacey,

I, and most of the world, when you were sued by several young men for sexual misconduct allegations back in 2017, which led to you being fired from major projects and shunned by the film industry. Well, what I remember most is that, after years and years of rumors that you were gay, and after years and years of him vehemently denying it, you finally came as a way of seemingly explaining why you tried to assault Anthony Rapp when he was just 14:

"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I'm beyond horrified to hear this story. I honestly do not remember the encounter ... But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior. As those closest to me know, I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man."

So much to unpack; you said, “if I did behave … as he describes,” which takes zero accountability for your actions with a child, but then you blame it on being drunk, and finally say it was because you were a closeted gay man.

I was insulted from the jump because you, as a gay man, played into that trope that closeted gay men, hell, most gay men, sexually assault young boys because we are all pedophiles. Not so, Kevin; you assaulted young men because you’re a predator who used you power and fame and influence and reputation as a well-respected actor to lure young men into hotel rooms to assault them.

You didn’t molest anyone because you were gay, you did it because you’re a predator, whether drunk or not. I lost whatever respect I had for you at the time and now you step into the light, again, to say you’re homeless because the scandal ruined your career:

“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”

Oh I am heartbroken. You live in hotels and Airbnbs? And that’s homelessness? I imagine a great many unhoused people would love to have the funds to live in a nice hotel—because we all know you’re not staying at Motel 6 down by the highway—or at an Airbnb:

“I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out … Everything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that I’ll be able to decide where I want to settle down again.”

So, you have lots of things in storage that I’m sure you pay for and live in hotels as you travel the world for work and you want, what, sympathy? Sorry, Kevin, not sorry. This is a mess of your making and you have yet to fess up to what you’ve done and fully apologize for it, and you have continued to play the victim.

The booze made you assault young men and boys.

Being gay made you do it.

And now you want us to believe you’re homeless?

Not happening. You’re responsible for this and any time you try to play the victim card you are negating the lives of all those men and boys that you assaulted.

This Bitch:GOP Rapist John Jessup

Just days after being elected to his local County Council, John Jessup—a current GOP Commissioner for Hancock County’s District 1—pleaded guilty in a Nevada sexual assault case.

Jessup pled guilty to one count of attempted sexual assault as the result of a plea deal that lowered the charge from a Level A felony to a Level B felony—which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. He was recently elected to the Hancock County Council as one of three Republican candidates. He received over 15,000 votes while both Democrat challengers barely cracked 10,000 each.

Jessup has been held in Las Vegas since June 26 after being arrested in Hancock County and extradited to Nevada. He was granted house arrest on August 10 after posting a $100,000 bond and has been staying in the area as his case progressed.

The arrest stemmed from a reported sexual assault of a woman in January after she and Jessup had a drunken night out in Las Vegas. The victim alleges that Jessup forced her to drink excessive amounts of alcohol before taking advantage of her in his hotel room and sexually assaulting her.

Witnesses who were with Jessup and the victim corroborated the woman’s story, adding that Jessup said “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” multiple times throughout the night. At the time of his arrest, Jessup allegedly told police there was “nothing criminal” about what he’d done, describing the incident as a “f***ed up, drunk night.”

Hold on to that admission ...

A jury trial in Jessup’s case was originally scheduled to begin in late February but that trial was canceled following his plea deal; Jessup will be sentenced in April 2025, and while his attempted sexual assault charge is a probational offense, he said he expects the Las Vegas prosecutor to ask for prison time:

“We’ll be arguing for probation while the prosecution will argue from eight to 20 [years]. I didn’t have much of a choice today, it was either take the deal or go to trial … The other deal that was available for me today was to take four years in prison.”

Hancock County Republican Chair Janice D. Silvey says Jessup is planning to resign from the council as soon as he is officially sworn:

“It’s been my greatest honor serving the people of Hancock County and I’m deeply, deeply ashamed and profoundly sorry for the shame that I brought to the county,” Jessup said.

Quick to take a plea and quick to resign; huh. That seems odd until you hear the full story …

One of Rachel Jessup’s fondest childhood memories was going to the polls on Election Day with her dad, John Jessup. She began going to the polls with her dad when she was in kindergarten:

“‘Please vote for my daddy’ is what I used to say to voters. I was a typical 5-year-old kid who idolized my dad, and as I got older I always supported his political runs because I was his go-to person going to the polls with him. I was a daddy’s girl.”

Rachel, now a 22-year-old college student, is trying to forget Jessup, a man she now calls “John” instead of “Dad.” Rachel is John Jessup’s youngest biological daughter and is the woman Jessup is accused of sexually assaulting during that drunken night in Las Vegas in late January. Jessup had taken his daughter there to celebrate her 21st birthday.

Yes, he sexually assaulted his own child and after being accused of the crime called it no big deal and was elected to office. But is that really so odd, electing a rapist to county council after you elected a rapist President?

This Bitch needs a good long lockup.

A Rant: I'm Done

I’m done with his deflections and the lies; I’m over his idiotic, change the narrative Tweets.

With over 100,000 Americans dead—though 35,000 or more who could have been saved had he acted earlier—he Tweets about the fake Obamagate.

With 44 million Americans unemployed, he Tweets some debunked theory about Joe Scarborough murdering someone.

With George Floyd, another black man murdered by a police officer, following Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, following Breonna Taylor’s murder, following Chris Cooper being racially profiled in Central Park, he holds a press briefing and talks about China.

He deflects while Americans die; he deflects while millions are unemployed; he deflects while racism continues to erupt in this country and more black Americans are murdered.

When thousands upon thousands of Americans protest police brutality, he shuts off the White House lights, and hides in a bunker; and then like some chickenshit groundhog, he reappears to declare that he is “YOUR” president, and then fires tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd so he can walk through a park to a church where he was not invited to have a photo op with a Bible.

Here’s the truth about him, no deflections: he has changed policy in ways that affect the lives of millions of Americans, and this should be our focus, not his side show antics. I’m going to remember how he has ruined this country and not some inane three in the morning stuffing Big Macs into his mouth childish Tweet rant. This is what he’s done; this is who he is:

White-collar criminal prosecutions have hit a 33-year low under _____; the rich get away with crime.

His DOJ defends state laws that could kick thousands of people off the voting rolls; it’s called election tampering.

Tens of thousands of people have lost health insurance by his administrative order, and millions are in the process of losing their nutritional assistance; but big pharma keeps making coins.

He’s installing conservative judges at twice Obama’s pace, and has established a conservative majority on the Supreme Court that may endure for decades. Be prepared for changes in a woman’s right to choose; look for changes in LGBTQ equality; in immigration; in healthcare; look for the cessation of any kind of meaningful progress for anyone other than a rich white man.

He gave a permanent tax cut to the richest Americans with his Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 [TCJA]. He said the tax cuts would pay for themselves through faster economic growth, but that hasn’t happened—and thanks to his ineptitude with COVID-19, it’s only gotten worse; the rich get richer, and everyone else loses.

When he ran for office he supported the idea of bringing back Glass-Steagall regulations that would have required the breakup of large financial services companies; in office, he has done the opposite; the rich get richer, and a banking system that was made safer after the 2008 crisis—thanks to Obama—is getting riskier again.

He rolled back environmental regulation; he doesn’t believe in climate change, even though he vowed “to promote clean air and water.”  He has given big boosts to fossil fuel production which comes with a deterioration in air quality … 9,700 more Americans died due to air pollution in 2018 than in 2016, in part due to regulatory changes he put forth; add that to the number of people he’s killed.

He tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act [ACA] but failed in Congress.

He wants to allow states to impose work requirements on their Medicaid programs. He wants to limit federal spending on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP]. His tougher work requirements could cost 755,000 people their benefits and new rule changes now make over 3 million beneficiaries of a different anti-poverty program ineligible for SNAP.

But worse than all that; worse than being the president of the one percent and for the one percent, is that he stokes the fires of racism in this country; since 2016, every single racial incident in this country can be traced back to him. He is a racist, plain and simple. Now, that’s not just an opinion, that’s what he says, and does, time and again.

On day one, running for office, he called Mexicans ‘rapists’ and ‘drug dealers’.

He’s locked up immigrants seeking asylum; he’s made that a crime.

He put children in cages after taking them from their families.

He has cut refugee resettlements by over 80%; he’s made it more difficult to get H-1B visas for skilled technology workers and is in the process of stripping their spouses of work permits.

He ended the DACA program, which protected an estimated 800,000 young undocumented immigrants, including 36,000 LGBTQ DREAMers, from detention and deportation. 

Of note, these are aimed only at people of color trying to enter this country; white Europeans who don’t come from “shit hole countries” are welcome.

In 1973 he was accused to racial bias in renting his properties to people of color; he paid a fine and promised to change, but he didn’t. Elyse Goldweber, a Justice Department lawyer who brought the first federal suit against his management company says he told her at one point:

“You know, you don’t want to live with them either.”

He told an architect of one of his buildings to remove the Braille numbering inside his elevators because:

“No blind people are living in my building.”

He took out newspapers ads in every major New York City paper saying that the so-called Central Park Five, a group of black and Latino teens who were accused of raping a white woman in Central Park on April 19, 1989 “should be forced to suffer” and “be executed.” And when those same men were exonerated through DNA evidence and the confession by another individual to the crime, in 2002, he again took out newspaper ads calling the settlement “a disgrace.” In 2016, during his presidential campaign, he once again insisted the men were all guilty and should have been executed.

For a crime they did not commit.

In the early 1990s, he  tried blocking the construction of new Native American casinos in Connecticut and New York that could cut into his casino operations in Atlantic City—of note, every single one of his casinos went into bankruptcy. He again took out ads claiming there would be illegal drug use at those casinos.

He also claimed before the House Subcommittee on Native American Affairs of the Committee on Natural Resources that there was a lot of corruption and organized crime around Native American casinos, but when asked to prove his claim, he said the FBI had the evidence—the same FBI he would call corrupt in 2016; he did not produce a single shred of evidence.

He also asked that the hearing examine some Native American tribes’ application as Indian tribes because, saying:

“They don’t look like Indians to me.”

In the summer of 2005, he pitched an idea for an upcoming season of The Apprentice: a black versus white season; seriously; the concept never made it to air, but his treatment of black contestants on his show generated controversy.

He criticized one such contestant, Kevin Allen, a graduate of Emory University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Chicago, for being too educated as a black man, and said that Allen was an intimidating figure to the women on the show.

In 2005, he asked Randal Pinkett, a black man who won that season, to share his title with the white runner-up, Rebecca Jarvis. Pinkett refused.

In February 2011, this statement made at the Conservative Political Action Conference, marked his inching toward a presidential campaign, when a speaker said of Barack Obama:

“Our current president came out of nowhere, came out of nowhere … The people who went to school with him—they never saw him; they don’t know who he is.”

Birtherism had been festering for several years until _____ embraced it; in March, on The View, he called on Obama to show his birth certificate, while in April, he said that he had sent a team of investigators to search for Obama’s birth records.

His embrace of birtherism appears to have started when a Manhattan developer proposed an Islamic cultural center on a site in Lower Manhattan; the so-called Ground Zero mosque. In 2010, on the Late Show, he told David Letterman:

“I think it’s very insensitive to build it there. I think it’s not appropriate.”

When Letterman pushed back, saying that blocking an Islamic facility would be akin to declaring “war with Muslims,” he replied:

“Somebody’s blowing up buildings, and somebody’s doing lots of bad stuff.”

Muslims are terrorists.

He again stoked Muslim sentiment while appearing on Fox News’ The Laura Ingraham Show when he said of Obama:

“He doesn’t have a birth certificate, or if he does, there’s something on that certificate that is very bad for him. Now, somebody told me—and I have no idea whether this is bad for him or not, but perhaps it would be—that where it says ‘religion,’ it might have ‘Muslim.’” 

This all came after he lied about seeing Muslims in New Jersey cheer as the towers fell on 9/11.

On April 27, 2011, Obama released his long-form birth certificate, and a few days later, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Obama and comedian Seth Meyers mocked _____’s birther claims, leaving him red-faced and seething as the crowd laughed at him.

And so, he bashed back; in May 2012, he told the CNN host Wolf Blitzer that “a lot of people do not think it was an authentic certificate.” In August, he called the birth certificate “a fraud.” Finally, in September 2016, under political pressure during his presidential campaign, he finally acknowledged that Obama had in fact been born in the United States, but in private he was still swearing that Obama’s birth certificate was fraudulent.

Minutes after being was sworn into office, any mention of the LGBTQ community was erased from White House, Department of State, and Department of Labor websites; we were invisible.

After previously committing to protecting LGBTQ Americans from discrimination, _____ drafted a "License to Discriminate" executive order which would usher in across-the-board discrimination against the LGBTQ community. 

He rescinded Title IX protections for transgender students in our nation's schools. 

Under his proposed budget, he offered to cut HIV and AIDS research funding under the National Institutes of Health [NIH].

He has consistently declined to issue a presidential proclamation designating June as LGBTQ Pride Month, breaking with an eight-year precedent set by President Barack Obama to honor and support LGBTQ Americans during Pride Month; he says The Gays love him.

Vice President Michael Elizabeth Pence advocated for removing healthcare benefits for transgender servicemembers. Days later, _____ used Twitter to announce a ban on transgender Americans from serving in "any capacity" in the U.S. military, and threatened to fire 15,000 currently serving troops.

In 2017 he left out the LGBTQ community and people of color in his World AIDS Day Proclamation.

He backed the position that businesses owners should be able to put up signs saying they won’t serve gays. 

He fires the entire White House Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS.

He rolled back protections for incarcerated transgender people that were intended to mitigate their exposure to sexual assault and abuse, allowing the Bureau of Prisons to “use biological sex as the initial determination for designation” when placing trans people for housing, screening, and programs and services.

In December 2018, his administration discharged two service members in the Air Force after disclosing their HIV-positive status to the Department of Defense. 

His administration announced plans implement a new policy to allow adoption agencies to deny LGBTQ couples the ability to adopt based on so-called "religious exemptions."

His administration announced a new policy stating transgender Americans would not be guaranteed health care protections under the ACA.

After using the Pulse shooting as a campaign move in 2016, he has continually failed to recognize the anniversaries of the shooting at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub, which killed 49 LGBTQ people. 

He enacted a Muslim ban.

He created a commission to investigate voter fraud—which is virtually nonexistent—claiming that he would have won the popular vote but for millions of ballots cast by illegal immigrants in this country.

He shut down the government for 35 days in an attempt to secure funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

He referred to African countries as “shithole” nations—asking why the U.S. can’t have more immigrants from Norway instead—and complained that, after seeing America, immigrants from Nigeria would never “go back to their huts.”

His administration favored victims of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Houston over those of Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico. He sent three times as many workers to Houston and approved 23 times as much money for individual assistance in Houston than in Puerto Rico.

August 11, 2017. Hundreds of neo-Nazis and white supremacists descended onto the University of Virginia’s campus in Charlottesville chanting “Jews will not replace us” and a Nazi slogan,  “Blood and soil” to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan leader, called it a “turning point” for his own movement, which seeks to “fulfill the promises of Donald ____.”

August 12, 2017. DeAndre Harris, a black man, was beaten by at least four white supremacists, while later that same day, James Alex Fields Jr., a white supremacist from Ohio, drove his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring 35 others.

So, you have a black man beaten by white supremacists, and a woman killed by a white supremacist, and what does _____ do? From a golf course, he denounced “this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides.” He paused, then repeated: “On many sides.” The next day he walked back his initial statement and specifically condemned “the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups.” A day after that, he walked back his walk-back, saying there were “very fine people on both sides.”

White-nationalist leaders welcomed his remarks. That speaks volumes.

And this past month, as white MAGA hat wearing asshats took assault weapons and stormed several state capitals because they were tired of the lockdown and wanted a hamburger and some new highlights, he called them “very good people.”

But when black Americans, sick of yet another police murder of an unarmed black man, took to the streets to protest racism in this country, he called them “thugs,” and then said, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

That’s a lot to digest, I know. But it just shows how much damage he’s done to this country, to people of color, to minorities, to the LGBTQ community, to the poor, the disenfranchised, while we’ve all been focusing on idiotic Tweets and publicity stunts.

I’m done with that. I will not discuss his stunts any longer. I will just keep saying, and saying loudly, until November 3, 2020, that he has fucked this country.

And it’s time to unfuck it.

Vote out a racist.

Vote out a thug.

Vote out a man who has done nothing for anyone other than rich white men and his own family.

Vote out a rapist.

Vote out a pussy grabber.

Vote him out.

Tuesday Thought #2

My Two Cents: Tara Reade

I believe the women, which is why this one bothers me.

More than a year ago … a year ago … Tara Reade accused Joe Biden, as other women have, of touching her shoulder and neck in a way that made her uncomfortable, when she worked for him in 1993. That makes sense; Joe admits he’s been known to do that. And then earlier this year, in March, she came out again with the same story, but it got little to no traction, so in April she came out again, though this time the story was different.

This time Reade claimed that in 1993 Joe Biden pushed her up against a wall, put this hand down her skirt and put his fingers in her vagina. But … how is that not the story the first time out? I mean, it feels like the touching of the hair didn’t meet some sort of objective, so she doubled down with fingers penetrating her.

As I said, I believe the women, but this one troubles me, and here’s why:

Although Reade waited 27 years to accuse Biden of sexual assault, that doesn’t bother me so much. I understand that it’s hard to step into the light and go up against a powerful man. And if I believe Christine Blasey Ford—and I do—waiting for many years before speaking up about Brett Kavanaugh, I’d have to believe Reade, except …

How do you tell the story of Biden touching your hair and neck, but forget to mention the penetration with his fingers? And why tell one story first, and then add more graphic details more than a year later?

Reade has an explanation for that. She claims that when she came forward with her allegations in March 2019, she wanted to speak to The Union newspaper in California, but says the reporter’s tone made her feel uncomfortable, so she “shut down” and didn't tell the whole story. She waited another year before finding someone else to tell her story.

That doesn’t ring true.

It also is strange that Reade says she complained about Biden's assault to Marianne Baker, Biden’s executive assistant, as well as to top aides Dennis Toner and Ted Kaufman, and yet all three say she made no such complaints. And these three did simply say they didn’t remember a nearly thirty-year-old complaint, they all completely deny ever being told the story by Tara Reade.

Still, Reade insists she told them, and insists she filed a written complaint against Biden with the Senate personnel office, and yet reporters and staff have never found that written complaint. Even Tara Reade doesn’t possess a copy of the complaint, though she has copies of all other relevant paperwork from that time, including a copy of her 1993 Senate employment records.

That strikes me odd.

Even more troubling is that Reade cannot remember the date, the time, or the exact location of the alleged assault, except that it occurred in a “semiprivate” hallway connecting Senate buildings. She expects us to believe a powerful well-known man assaulted her in the halls of Congress and yet she cannot remember. This is troubling because, with her lack of memory on this point, it’s next to impossible for Joe Biden to go through records and prove he could not have committed the assault, because he was somewhere else at the time. 

Also troublesome is that Tara Reade provides two different explanations for why she stopped working for Biden in 1993. She claimed once that she was fired because Biden wanted her to serve drinks at an event and she refused. Reade says she then felt "pushed out” of her job and so she quit.

However, Reade also claimed that after she filed a sexual harassment complaint—and now she says she never used the words ‘sexual harassment’ in that complaint—with the Senate personnel office, she faced retaliation for complaining and was fired by Biden’s chief of staff.

Quit or fired? It cannot be both.

It also cannot be both that Tara Reade was sexually assaulted by Joe Biden in 1993, but as recently as 2017 she would “Like” praise for Biden’s work combating sexual assault, to which she tweeted:

“My old boss speaks truth. Listen.” 

She was praising him for his work in trying to end the very thing she now claims that he did to her.

It doesn’t make sense. What happened?

Bernie Sanders? Not a stretch; in January of 2020, Reade came out in support of Sanders for president, saying Biden was “the blue version of Trump” and that the Democratic National Committee was trying to “shove” Biden “down Democrat voters throats.” 

And then Tara Reade suddenly began contradicting all she said before about Biden, saying her decision to finally come forward was due to “the hypocrisy that Biden is supposed to be the champion of women’s rights.”

Praise him? Accuse him.

Were her allegations against Biden a form of retaliation for Bernie not winning the nomination? For 27 years, Tara Reade did not publicly accuse Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her, but after his string of victories derailed Sanders from his path to the Democratic nomination, Reade went public with her claim.

And these not just her claims; there is an alleged phone call from her mother to a talk show; friends and family who’ve suddenly remembered, and then remembered more, have come forward.

In 1991 an anonymous woman—who Reade now claims was her mother, who is now deceased—called in to CNN's "Larry King Live" show and said:

"I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him." 

Her problems there? If we believe Tara Reade, and we believe this woman was her mother, then why talk “problems”? Why not say, anonymously, oddly enough, that your daughter was sexually assaulted by this “prominent senator”?

And then you have Reade’s brother, Collin Moulton, who, in an interview with The Post, says his sister told him Joe Biden inappropriately touched her neck and shoulders. He said not one word about sexual assault until a few days later, when he texted The Post that he suddenly remembered Reade saying Biden put his hand "under her clothes.” 

Again, a man touching your sister’s hair and neck is inappropriate, so why lead with that? If the man forced your sister up against a wall, kissed her, shoved his hand down her skirt and inside her, that would be the story.

Two of Reade’s friend, who requested anonymity, have differing stories, as well. One says Reade told her she was sexually assaulted by Biden, while the other said Reade told her that Biden touched her inappropriately.

Two friends, two different stories.

In addition, in prior interviews, Tara Reade gave an exhaustive list of people she told of the alleged assault, and yet neither one of these women were on that list.

A third friend, Lynda LaCasse, gave an interview to Business Insider, claiming Reade told her of the assault in 1995 or 1996. Insider called LaCasse the “first person to independently corroborate, in detail and on the record, that Reade had told others about her assault allegations contemporaneously.”

That word ‘contemporaneously’ is troubling, because in legalese it generally means ‘existing or occurring in the same period of time,’ but if Reade was sexually assaulted in 1993, telling a friend two or three years later is not contemporaneous at all. 

And one other thing I find disconcerting about Reade’s story. We know that several women claimed that Joe Biden made them uncomfortable with things like a shoulder touch or a hug, but there has never been one hint of sexual assault in all of Joe Biden’s life, except for Tara Reade.

Now, it could be possible that in his entire life Joe Biden committed just one sexual assault, against Reade, but generally speaking men who do these kinds of things don’t do them just once … just look at the twenty-five very similar allegations against the sitting president.

As I said earlier, I believe women, but that doesn’t mean all women are being truthful. It doesn’t mean all women shouldn’t be questioned about inaccuracies in their stories. It doesn’t mean I can’t support the #MeToo movement and question allegations of sexual assault that seem off.

Do I believe Tara Reade? I don’t know because I wasn’t there; only she and Biden know the truth. But I do know that her story doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Her lack of memory on vital parts of the story, like when and when, bother me.

Her changing the story from touching her hair to penetrating her with his fingers bothers me.

Her friends and family who remember one thing, but then suddenly remember more bothers me.

Her praise in the years after the alleged assault for Biden and her sudden attacks on him when she became a Sanders supporter bother me.

The whole thing bothers me.
