Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king

Apparently, Fat Satan does have a dog. It’s 41-year-old Fredo Trump: “He acknowledges that I’m a good boy. I am a good boy.” Yes, this is real.

The sexual harassment allegations uncovered by Politico are fucking wild.

Jeffrey Tucker was accused of trying to dress women up like they were “dolls” and other sex pest behavior like encouraging people to have sexual relationships.

AIER sounds absolutely miserable and weird as hell.

13.
AIER leadership and senior staff stood by and took no action while former AIER

Editorial Director Jeffery Tucker dressed the female staff members, interns and other affiliated

iters up in old fur coats bought from estate sales by Jeffery Tucker and paid for by AlER.

Later the pressure to wear and model pearl necklaces was also introduced by Jeffery Tucker.
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 13.

14. AIER leadership, including but not limited to Jeffery Tucker and Edward
Stringham, would insist that the women model the furs and then ogle the women and gape at them, asking the males and females in attendance, i.e., the females' coworkers and managers,
"Isn't' she beautiful?" and "Doesn't she look lovely dressed like this?".
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations as written in Paragraph 14.
15. Jeffery Tucker offered a fur coat to a visiting scholar and told her he wanted her
to wear one. He told her he buys them for "women in the house".
SWER: Respondents have insufficient information as to the truth or falsity of this
vague allegation, and so, they deny it.
Jeffery Tucker routinely told the women in attendance at AlER happy hours and
dinners how to sit and act, as if they were dolls he was positioning.
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 16.

20. Jeffery Tucker openly told the interns, visiting fellows, scholars, conference
attendees and staff members about his prior lawsuits for sexual harassment and called the women
"tramps" and that they only wanted money.
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 20.
21. In May 2020, Jeffery Tucker told Mrs. Grochmal that he had previously been
sued for sexual harassment at AIER and the woman was a "slut" and a "gold 'digger".
ANSWER: Respondents lack sufficient information to admit or deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 21 and therefore deny same.
22. Starting in the late winter of 2020 and continuing throughout her employment at
AIER, Mrs. Grochmal also complained multiple times to her boss, Brad De Vos, about the sexual harassment and sexually hostile environment. He responded that Mrs. Grochmal should "not get involved". He stated that Jeffery Tucker had done this at his previous jobs and that it was only a matter of time before Jeffery was his own demise. He took no action.
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations contained in Paragraph'22.
23. Circa November/December 2020/January 2021, a female employee was washing
dishes in the AIER Gatehouse when Jeffery Tucker came up behind her and started massaging her. The intern told Human Resources who sent a Slack (internal messaging system) message stating that employees were not to give massages to each other. No other action was taken and AIER deleted the Slack message.
ANSWER: Respondents have insufficient information at this time to admit or deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 23. Further answering, Gail Roger has no recollection of the female employee informing her of the alleged incident or that she (Roger) sent a Slack message or later deleted it as alleged.
24. In the late winter 2020/early spring of 2021, there were physical and verbal fights between upper management and their staff lovers in AIER buildings.
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations contained in Paragraph …

45. Jeffrey Tucker's sexualization of the atmosphere at AIER and objectification of
the women at AlER sent the message to other males at AlER that making sexual overtures at work was acceptable and encouraged. Jeffrey Tucker would publicly pressure AIER employees to have romantic relationships, which made them uncomfortable.
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 45.
46. Jeffrey Tucker pressured the interns, fellows and staff members to attend
ommunal dinners after work and drink alcohol.
ANSWER: Respondents deny the allegations contained in Paragraph 46.

A federal judge orders ICE & Federal agents must wear body cameras & they must be turn on. This is a good thing because it will help to identify the agents who hide their identity. The camera must be registered to the person who is wearing it.
