No an unfair position is when a senator grabs your ass during a photo up or mime grabs your boobs while you sleep.

As someone who has personally seen Joe Biden give someone an unwanted massage, yeah it’s fucking weird. But not weird enough to lose his job over.

I love how these fuckers morph into Clarence Darrow or Thurgood Marshall at the hint of an accusation. They really think lawyering their way out of it is the solution. Evidence! Witnesses! Sworn statements! They turn an HR investigation into the Simpson trial.

Franken could have had an impartial inquiry, could have gone before the ethics committee. Could have stayed in the Senate, reflected on and adjusted his behavior and been the trumpeter of change.

How can some people be SO confident that the people they know aren’t sexual harassers? I have no idea about my dad or my brothers or my husband. I can only say what I know, but that doesn’t prevent someone from sexually harassing another person.

He (and his defenders in that piece) really seem to believe that his intentions matter more here than their effect on the victims. And they just . . . don’t.

He (and his defenders in that piece) really seem to believe that his intentions matter more here than their effect on the victims. And they just . . . don’t. If you’re a man in the 21st century kissing women at work, it’s not their job to figure out whether that’s because you’re a lech or a socially awkward dork. If…

The defense of him in this piece was sooooo paltry. Oh, he’s just awkward. Oh, that’s just his humor. Oh, it’s just an “asshole” “character,” that’s not how he “really” is. It’s just show business! It’s just politics! I’m just a touchy-feely guy! He’s just a hugger!

And that’s it, isn’t it? Excuses excuses excuses.…

He can regret it all he wants, he doesn’t get to blame other people for the mistakes and choices he made.

several of whom highlighted what they believe to be a lack of due process,

He was right to step down. I get it, it sucks because before all of this came out, I really liked the guy. But him stepping down was the right thing to do, end of story.

Franken received all the due process he was entitled to, and if he didn’t, that is his own fault and no one else’s.

There were 8 different women who came out. Knowing how disincentivized women are from telling their stories, there are bound to be more. It would have been easier to keep him if congress actually has actionable plans for consequences for their offenders. But they have a history of just sweeping things under the rug.…

Came here to post about this! It’s like they ‘shopped out his chins and just left him with dirty-looking neck rolls.

According to my extensive research via Mario Kart, yes. It makes your car go faster, especially when the sparks start coming out of the tires. 

It’s kilometres over there, innit?

The point of the one called “Tokyo Drift” is to drift, Tokyo-style

Not sure which is dumber - this movie, or all the people standing right at the very edge of a hairpin turn inside a tight-as-fuck parking garage while directly in the path of a car being driven by someone you don’t think can drive very well.

Exactly. I’m not saying it can’t happen. If your grill is dirty enough that you don’t notice bristle fragments embedded in the charred remains of past cookouts, it’s time for a thorough cleaning.

You clean slag off of a hot billet (think forging), not welds, but I’ve never thought to pick up one of those brushes. Will do.
