NOPE!

You are getting (kind of) shit on, but you’re absolutely right.

You’re either trolling or looking at an entirely different photo.

I’m confused about everyone saying this photo is evidence of sexual assault. It’s unprofessional, it’s unpleasant, I’d be furious too if I were her, and he absolutely should be grovelling for this. I’m not defending him in the least, and I don’t care at all if this wrecks his career. Them’s the breaks, jackass.

If they’re Republicans, they’ll stay. If they’re Dems, they’ll be forced out. With the enthusiastic assistance of the left.

Her politics vs. his politics and the timing of this accusation culturally just don’t pass the smell test for me. This isn’t a dozen women coming out of the woodwork like Cosby or Weinstein or Moore, this is a single woman with a clear agenda with a sketchy story.

No, he’s miming grabbing her breasts. It’s gross, but it’s not assault.

So the mistake is in honoring and sticking to principles even when it hurts?

Thank you! Immediate calls for resignation because of one incident that we do not have all of the details about is ridiculous. He’s not even touching her body in the photo, there’s kevlar and a two-inch plate between his fingertips and her actual boobs.

We should be holding up everyone to the same standards against sexual assault, no matter what their political beliefs are.

Bingo. One completely unsubstantiated allegation, and one picture clearly meant as a (tasteless) joke where you can’t even be sure there was any sort of contact. Franken responds immediately with an apology, which of course isn’t accepted in these circles because no apology is ever good enough. Now they’re jumping all…

Yeah, the ethics investigation into Franken’s pre-office hijinks will soon turn into a witch hunt targeted at all Democratic senators.

This is a real apology and a how you take responsibility for your actions. An ethics investigation will rightly conclude that he did nothing unethical while in office, since this occurred prior to his service. Of course, he’ll probably end up forced out of the Senate to make up for Roy Moore, because the Republicans…

And liberals/progressives will never learn this lesson. They like the self-righteousness too much. Oh well, enjoy the conservative control of government for another generation!

No, I mean their politicians whenever they’re attacked for something. Conservatives rally and keep them in office while liberals/progressives immediately throw them to the wolves. Ask Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

Can we at least bear in mind that the accuser is a Hannity disciple and the “journalist” in the linked tweet works for the Washington Examiner and uses a photo of herself with Trump on her Twitter feed?

So the big topic of a Republican Senatorial candidate embroiled in a sex scandal will end with a Democratic Senator being forced to resign. Like clockwork.

No, our intelligence agencies and MI6 clearly don’t think so. A great deal of what the dossier described has been proven true, and more becomes clearer every day. And the investigation into Trump’s Russian ties does not center on the dossier by the way. There’s dozens of other independently drawn conclusions. That…

The cops were the ones who initially brought up Lumumba due to a text exchange between him and Amanda. She immediately recanted but the cops arrested him anyway. It’s the cops who look like the racist ones here tbh.

We don’t know why Knox blamed Lumumba after initially denying any knowledge of the crime over and over. Maybe it was a false memory her brain pieced together out of stress, exhaustion, and confusion because the cops were relentlessly asking her about a text between the two of them. Maybe she picked him knowingly…
