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?

So, what’s your response? We don’t kick our sexual abusers out? We allow our own standards to drop because the other side does?

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Don’t be so naive and give him a pass just because you agree with his politics.

Being ride or die for your friends, even when they’re accused of horrible things, is not a virtue. It’s the hallmark of rapey fraternities and crooked cops. I was never in the fraternity, so seeing men who are willing to turn on their friends when they behave badly is a sign that I might find some safety in a group.

Your rape apologizing is exactly why ALL of this happens. Society brushes sexual assault victims aside because it’s inconvenient.

The problem with the Democrats is that when push comes to shove, they actually have an overarching moral code, rather than the bizarre malleable thing the Republicans call a moral code.

I don’t feel played at all. I never saw this as a board game where knocking out a few Democrats would also thin the ranks of the opposing party. The upside of not having Franken in the Senate is not having Franken in the Senate. He wasn’t an asset. He was a symbol of the way that powerful men are enabled to mistreat…

“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”

She took a DJ who groped her in public and denied it (and his GF who was a witness also denied it) to court and won $1. As much Swift hate as there is, she did a good thing by bringing a sexual harasser to justice for a non-sum of money to show that she wasn’t doing it for wealth or fame, she was doing it because she…

Justin Timberlake is also not getting the heat Kate Winslet is for being in the new Woody Allen movie.

But he’s a man. Duh.

Where are all the outraged posts about Rami Malek working with him? I mean, these allegations have been around for years.

Never trust dudes who claim to be sex-positive (what the fuck does that even mean) or feminist. They will always disappoint.

THEN how about she start caring for our ears!!!

lol do people do this? yo if you’re a non-black person who is comfortable enough with rap cadences to rap along with them, you should be comfortable enough to NEVER rap the n-word, or any similar-sounding substitutes. don’t do it, don’t substitute it. leave a pause where it’s at. it’s fine and easy.

“Ya like Smash Mouth?”

It is so very easy to picture him with a doublet and a lute, boring some poor woman to death.

Exactly. That was some heavily edited bullshit. The mistake the ACORN workers made was thinking it was a joke and playing along.

I would imagine that any artist that wants to sell a lot of albums and thus end up selling more tour tickets and merch etc etc would release songs anywhere they could to try to increase their popularity. This seems like smart business to me? Idk, I can’t hate T.S. the way Jez wants me to and see everything she does as…
