Well said.

So, what should we do? Should we adopt their tools? Should we accuse Franken’s accusers of being paid political liars? Should we demand that they apologize for him for hurting his career? Should we shout “Fake news!” and go pull the lever for a known creep?

And here we have another person condoning sexual assault as long as they’re democrats.

As one of the pussies, I’m just fine with a party that’s welcoming to us for a change. Both parties have been throwing women to the wolves for decades. What do you think happens to staffers who resign and interns whose biggest learning experience is that the statehouse isn’t a safe place for them?

He was a good senator for Minnesota.

I’m sad as one of his constituents, but that’s what you get for being a fucking creep Franken.

Still worth noting that we’re living up to a moral ideal that doesn’t exist for the other side. No matter what their guys are charged with, they’ll push off with “fake news”, which is why they can claim the mantle of family values and support a rapist president and a pedophile Senator-to-be. We better hope a majority…

I’ve been so confused by the prevalence of the, “But mom,” reaction, especially since there’s not even a seat at risk. The Republicans don’t have one up on the Democrats if their party is full of harassers and creeps and ours holds its members to a minimal standard of conduct. That’s a good thing for us. It means the…

“I’m going to be just fine.” Truer words have never been spoken. Don’t worry about Al Franken because he will be just fine. Just like every other fucking privileged white man. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Weinstein makes a comeback tour in a few years.

Gah, the whole Moore/Trump thing. Our ethical guidelines can’t be summed up with “but mom, everyone else is doing it”

The fact that it’s not mainstream knowledge, and the fact that it didn’t catch on 10 years ago. Some people have said it’s because Alyssa Milano is so famous and we grew up with her... I don’t think that’s the case, though. Anything that women of colour, especially black women, have to say is relegated to the…

A black woman started #metoo a decade ago.

Not brown blue lives, apparently

Not lifetime in the sense that he could start cashing in now. It just vests after ten years. But he couldn’t tap into it until a certain age. Usually 65 or so but often 55 for cops.

It’s like “support our troops”. They don’t actually care about giving these people good lives but just want to use them as political props to get what they want.

You know, the place you go get coffee and maybe some game or toy for “your kids”. Seriously, the local B&N is now half toys, games, pretty much anything but books.

You would think that they would want to publicly stand by someone who had been through that. It’s a terrible way to treat someone who saw things that would give any sane person nightmares

Hopefully he can sue for wrongful termination based on having a disability and collect his pension that was due to him. Sadly this probably means a large chunk of what he gets (if he wins or gets a settlement) will go to his lawyers.

Also jesus what’s with the trolls in the greys? Good lord don’t y’all have a fucking mountain dew to demolish? I can’t imagine spending most of my day visiting blogs that I hate just to say really dumb shit. What a sad life.
