What ABOUT the children?

She was sleeping, not unconscious. She is also not a veteran. She is a Hooter’s model who has worked for Fox for 16 years, including being a panelist on Hannity. While seeing the picture may have been humiliating, She was not groped. It is not victim blaming to consider the source before rushing to judgment. Also, if…

It is clear in the photo that he wasn’t really touching her, so why is she claiming He groped her when the evidence shows his hands were not on her body? It is a tasteless prank along the lines of drawing a sharpie penis on someone’s forehead at a slumber party.

As far as the photo, I mostly agree with you - it doesn’t look to me like he actually touched her, but instead was just aiming for “hey look, I’m pretending like I’m going to grope this unconscious woman against her will, HA HA SO FUNNY.” It’s disgusting, offensive, and incredibly disrespectful towards her, but if he…

I genuinely don’t understand both the “forcibly kissed” and “groped” parts of the Franken story. The photo is goddamn stupid, but doesn’t show contact so isn’t groping - fucking insulting and demeaning, yes, but not sexual assault.

No way does he need to step down, not before Drumpf does.

Thank you, that is exactly what I’m saying. Treating every instance of harassment as the same is absurd, some are objectively worse than others. I’m not in any way, shape, or form, arguing that his actions were right, justified, or okay. What I’m saying is that I don’t think it’s so bad that he should resign over it.…

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.

You really think this is so egregious that he needs to resign over it? I’m sorry I just don’t agree.

Totally agree with that - it’s just she gives the impression she is at home coming up with lesson plans and toiling to home school her kids...

Some people actually enjoy that type of work. Probably not 12 hours a day and with a lot of help but I have a friend who sold his company, bought a ranch and works it himself because that’s what he enjoys. His wife also fancies herself as being pretty crafty. Sort of reminds me of these people on a smaller scale. I…

I would much rather kids were home schooled by a real teacher than their parents.

I watched about 2 minutes of one episode and had to change the channel because the gender stereotypes were nauseating.

I think we might have different opinions of what living off the land means. My definition doesn’t include the land on which there is a Walmart grocery. Look, I don’t care how rich or how much money she gets from the gubmint. My problem with her stems from the fact that she’s making money off a misconception that she’s…

I find her whole-hearted embrace of very firm gender roles and faux-down home values shtick deeply creepy. Her lifestyle is held up as aspirational and it encompasses a lot of things completely antithetical to my own values: gender inequality, casual racism, conspicuous and excessive consumption, driving two miles…

She ran over and killed her own dog, then used as a plot point about how great her future husband was to comfort her about it.

A lot of the grumbling comes because she’s selling this “aw shucks” rural lifestyle to people who have no clue that her version of rural life is so vastly different from the rural reality of most other farm/ranch wives. She’s inauthentic, and though she puts on a down home image she’s incredibly privileged (see above:…

A cooking channel lady that makes gross hi caloric tex mex stuff and sells cookware.
