Implied Dissent

Apropos of nothing

Some things are binary, some are not. What one person means by believe can be very different from what another does. One can understand why someone would wait many years to come forward with a true allegation, and also know that celebrity and politics sometimes bring out crazies and or false attacks. So take accusations seriously, and do what can be done to determine their truth. And if the result is any reasonable level of chance of their truth (seriousness also an important qualifier in some cases, though not necessarily today), don’t put the accused into a lifetime term to a super important job. It isn’t about a person (as unfair as that will sometimes be to some people), it’s about the country, and finding the best person we can for the job, given the uncertainties that always exist along multiple dimensions with any decision.
