There’s no need to reduce my point to an absurdity. “Being ok with it” is not the same as evaluating each situation in its own context. Saying that anyone who ever grabbed somebody’s ass should be disqualified from Congress may eventually be a reasonable standard, but it seems a little extreme today, especially if we…

Maybe that higher standard is just to further disenfranchise poor people and people of color. Who is more likely to have criminal convictions, white men or everybody else? Who is more likely to keep bad things they do under wraps?

It’s a shame that you give this guy attention for a tweet that he spent 4 seconds writing.

Stealing millions of dollars is not as bad as grabbing someone’s butt? Our society doesn’t believe that. What Franken was accused of is an E Felony here in Tennessee. Embezzlement can be an A Felony, depending on the amount. I think that what Weinstein, Polanski, Masterson, or Roy Moore is accused of is worse than…

The bar gets higher if an accusation is enough to derail someone’s career. Normally, women have nothing to gain by making baseless accusations, but, if they know it can destroy someone’s political career, then they may have a reason to do it. Also, why is sexual assault (or an accusation thereof) the bar? Why isn’t it…

I think he did the right thing, especially under the current circumstances, but at what point do we accept that all people are flawed and do bad things? Hillary Clinton didn’t murder anybody, but she did cheat and gain personal wealth and power in shady ways. She did sell out her party to lobbyists. Obama did the same…

What if the supervisor slapped the cashier on the ass at his last job. Does he get fired 10 years later from a new job? Isn’t that the situation we are dealing with now?

Are you huffing glue when you comment?

I don’t know whether it is true or not, but I can guess that it is true, since House of Cards has been nominated for multiple Emmys, has an Oscar winner as it’s lead actor, and is often referenced throughout pop culture, while the only time I have even heard of the Ranch is on the site, primarily discussing these rape…

Skip and I were both (I believe, you can ask Skip) imagining the justification that Netflix executives would use to handle those situations differently (Spacey and Masterson). It’s not being “not famous enough.” It’s not creating too much bad publicity.

There’s also the matter of many fewer people knowing that there is a show called The Ranch and an actor named Danny Masterson. It’s much easier to blow off something that most people don’t know about.

Thanks. That was cool.

Nobody thinks the wall thing was real, do they?

Grooming is not establishing a relationship with a child so you can have a sexual relationship with them when they reach the age of majority. It is establishing a relationship with a child and a child’s family so you can have a sexual relationship with them while they are still a child.

It’s a rap group, started by Ned Beatie.

Probably hedging because there may be civil suits.

I don’t know. I think ethically it was the right thing, but can’t help but wonder if the reshoots and shortened post-production are going to affect the movie.

You think Radiohead is being hypocritical for not going, because they have done awards shows in the past and are not “above it.” You also think the HOF is stupid and an “embarassment”. You think those things are consistent and you think I have reading comprehension problems (as you write a comment as if you are…

I could also have put Jet Li, Bruce Willis, or Clint Eastwood, but I was a kid when I first saw Han Solo and Indiana Jones, and I will never think anybody is as cool as those two characters.

I have grown to love Keanu and think he is especially great in action movies. I think his two best roles are John Wick and River’s Edge. I also appreciate your statement as hyperbole. I just am not sure he belongs in a top 5 (yet).
