Mark Halperin — author and senior political analyst for MSNBC — has been accused of sexual harassment by five women, and he is now taking “a step back from [his] day-to-day work.”
According to accusations reported by CNN, Halperin grabbed a woman’s breasts without her consent, pressed himself against three of his colleagues, and solicited them for sex. Halperin did not deny the allegations, but he did note that he sought relationships with some junior staff members.
So, ........grope (grōp)
1. To reach about uncertainly; feel one's way:
2. To search blindly or uncertainly.
I dunno, I think he knew where he was going.

SO YA WANNA TAX THE RICH DO YA
From what I have viewed in the way of political ads on the tube lately is that the Progressives running for governor in the next election here in Illinois are all in for a progressive taxing program. I think the following should be a fair warning to Progressive devotee's who think they are led by people hugging pretenders.
Illinoisans got a glimpse of that shape-shifting monster in 2014, when lawmakers attempted to implement a so-called “fair tax,” which they claimed would only hike taxes on the rich. The reality was the 2014 proposal would have increased taxes on anyone with more than $22,000 in taxable income.
– Illinoisans need only look across the state border to see the term “rich” has been redefined to dip deep into the middle class.The highest tax rate of 8.98 percent in Iowa applies to those earning more than just $70,785. The highest tax rate of 6 percent in Kentucky applies to those earning more than $75,000. The highest rate of 6 percent in Missouri kicks in on any income (after deductions) just over $9,000. And Wisconsin’s second-highest tax rate of 6.27 percent hits worker incomes from approximately $22,400 to $247,000.
Most progressive tax programs reflect the Progressive mindset i.e. What's a little bulls**t. The proletariat will forget it by the next election.

The problem for socialism is, the slide into despotism is inevitable, because the govenrment is put in charge of everything during the "interim" transition to Marx's paradise. But as for socialism of various stripes, I'd rather focus on the dysfunctionality of a system that relies on people putting aside their self-interest for the betterment of all. That’s a fantasy capable of engaging young minds before they have any experience of adult life, which is why the ideological stronghold of Marxism is academia .
