Damn, Bill Cosby is probably going to die in jail. I never believed that all of these accusers were telling the truth, but all of them couldn't have been lying either.

Bill Cosby Accuser Kristina Ruehli Voluntarily Drops Defamation Lawsuit: 'Let Them Claim Victory'

It was the white, liberal media who motivated and got these women to go after Cosby in the first place. No doubt, Bill Cosby was a serial adulterer/cheater and his legacy will forever be tarnished by this drama, but I refuse to believe that he raped any of these women. This was all a money-grab, pure and simple.

Bill Cosby Gets Ridiculous Defamation Suit Dismissed

CNN.com:

It was a win for Bill Cosby in court on Thursday. 

A federal judge in Pennsylvania sided with the disgraced comedian and granted Cosby's motion to dismiss a defamation lawsuit, according to court records. 

Renita Hill, one of the more than 50 women who have publicly accused Cosby of assault, filed the civil suit in October alleging that the actor and his lawyer defamed Hill in the media, court records show. 

Judge Arthur J. Schwab dismissed the three claims against Cosby, ruling that the statements "do not support a claim for defamation as defined by Pennsylvania law," according to the ruling.

Hill's claims of defamation cite three instances in which Cosby and his team said the accusers needed to be fact-checked. 

In November 2014, following Hill's public accusation of rape, Cosby and his lawyer told The Washington Post that the women coming forward had "unsubstantiated, fantastical stories."

That same day, Cosby declined to respond to the "innuendos" being made about him to Florida Today, stating that "people should fact-check." 

She publicly accuses Cosby of rape. He says she's lying and then SHE files a defamation suit?!? GTFOH. Like the man doesn't have right to defend himself??? Good thing the judge here went with common sense and dismissed this ridiculous case.

A Tale of Two Bills: Cosby, Clinton and Predatory Men

USAToday.com:

Much has changed since Bill and Hillary Clinton were swept into the White House amidst sordid tales about the Arkansas governor’s extra-marital sex life.

Back then, a senior campaign aide (Betsey Wright) on a Democratic campaign could utter the phrase “bimbo eruptions” to demean women claiming to have had an affair with Bill Clinton. Today, such utterances would be rightly deemed unequivocally sexist.

It was a time when a top Democratic loyalist (James Carville) unabashedly sneered at Paula Jones’ allegations of unwanted sexual advances by then-Gov. Clinton with the infamous quip, “If you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find." Most famously, there was a young intern named Monica Lewinsky smeared by a senior White House aide (Sidney Blumenthal) as a “stalker.” Blumenthal reportedly also told journalists that the 49-year-old president of the United States had been “the victim of a predatory and unstable sexually demanding young woman,” age 22. The president went on to become one of the most respected men in the world. Lewinsky’s life was destroyed.

Until fairly recently, this kind of treatment was par for the course, especially if a woman had the particular misfortune of being victimized by a powerful man. Complaining women were far too often cast as the cause of their own sexual harassment and even sexual assault. They would be caricatured as voracious sex monsters, mentally unstable bimbos or gold diggers. Or all of the above.

Just ask the other Bill.

Bill Cosby clearly understood the world in which he lived. He operated like a man who knew that the decks were stacked in his favor in the court of public opinion, if not the actual courts. His targets likely understood this too. One alleged victim, Barbara Bowman, has accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1985 when she was a 17-year-old aspiring actress. She told her agent, who did nothing. She went to a lawyer, who accused her of making the story up. She wrote in The Washington Post, “Their dismissive responses crushed any hope I had of getting help; I was convinced no one would listen to me. That feeling of futility is what ultimately kept me from going to the police.”

Thirty years later, people are finally taking her story seriously.

The pendulum has swung, and we are moving toward a presumption that women are telling the truth regarding claims of unwanted sexual advances. So much so, that Hillary Clinton recently tweeted, “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported."

If true, then presumably that would apply to Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey, who have accused her husband of sexual assault and perhaps even Paula Jones who claims Bill Clinton touched her without her consent. Notably, in today’s paradigm, feminists argue that accusers should be believed even if they have been discredited. Most recently, in the wake of Rolling Stone’s retraction of its University of Virginia rape story, feminists rallied to the defense of the discredited accuser, “Jackie.” Feminist writer Jessica Valenti insisted, “I choose to believe Jackie. I lose nothing by doing so, even if I’m later proven wrong — but at least I will still be able to sleep at night.” Liberal commentator Zerlina Maxwell argued in The Washington Post that,“We should believe, as a matter of default, what an accuser says. Ultimately, the costs of wrongly disbelieving a survivor far outweigh the costs of calling someone a rapist.”

This is the backdrop for Donald Trump’s recent broadside against Clinton, in which he chided her for her husband’s “terrible record of women abuse.” Whatever Trump’s failings, he understands cultural shifts. We are a society that has a blessedly lower tolerance for sexual assault and harassment than in prior years. This is good news for America, but bad news for the Clintons. History has caught up with them at the worst possible moment.

78-Year-Old Bill Cosby Charged With Sexual Assault

ABCNews.com:

Bill Cosby was hit today with aggravated indecent assault charges stemming from an alleged 2004 incident in Pennsylvania, according to prosecutors and court documents. 

After a brief court appearance, the 78-year-old comedian was released on $1 million bail and the judge wished him "good luck." Following court, Cosby was processed and had his mug shot taken at the Cheltenham Police Department. 

Cosby entered the courtroom in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, around 2:30 p.m., walking arm-in-arm with his legal team. He is set to appear in court on Jan. 14 and was released on $1 million bond. 

Cosby also turned over his passport to the court and did not enter a plea. 

"The charge by the Montgomery County District Attorney's office came as no surprise, filed 12 years after the alleged incident and coming on the heels of a hotly contested election for this county's DA during which this case was made the focal point," said Cosby's attorney, Monique Pressley, in a statement to ABC News. "Make no mistake, we intend to mount a vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that Mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a court of law."

The character Cliff Huxtable, as played by Bill Cosby, was an iconic figure who exemplified morality, hard work, success, and love--traits that conservatives push in opposition to the muddle of victimhood that social liberals do on minorities in America. It was only a matter of time before they got Bill Cosby.
