Nah, I really am lucky. The frustration is played up to make it funny. If I was truly miserable working with someone, getting married would be a preposterous thing to do

Sounds like you should find a new soon to be bride. I’m not trying to be mean but she’s not going to change, this is who she is and now you know. If you think women get crazy about wedding just wait until you start having kids, its insane.

You should probably not get married.

Who knew that a child could be good at A Children’s Card Game?

To be fair, he was just reelected, so finishing his term is another 6 years. How this plays out, how the world spins, who knows what all else, I could rethink this.

Honestly, I’m hoping they keep that design, but scale it down until it has a normal 6' bed.

I don’t understand. That story was written as though there are Dunkin Donuts toilets that are not clogged.

No it is not ok, but ask yourself this question: If he was seriously doing that to her for gratification and not just “laughs” (juvenile as they are) would he have taken a picture of it with him smiling at the camera? It isn’t the kind of thing you want evidence of if you are guilty.

It’s also not like she’s a Sean Hannity lackey.

step down?

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

I think the fact he was on SNL probably means there’s more shit to come out if anyone is willing to mine that dung heap.

But when you’ve got conservative pundits gleefully comparing this to Moore as if this is going to make us totally A-OK with pedophilia- that’s where those comparisons come into play. It’s all wrong. No one wants to choose between getting beat with a stick or a wrench. Franken needs to be accountable for his actions.…

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…

Comparisons inherently legitimize/forgive some instances of sexual harassment and scapegoat others.

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

Yeah, here’s a fun exercise: What if the Golden Groper here HAD run in 2020 and this came out in October, a month before the election? What would everyone on this thread have done? We really need to consider what constitutes a realistic dealbreaker in an age of high-stakes hyperpartisanship.

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.

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.

I agree with what you said, and im all for holding someone accountable, but...it doesnt look like he’s touching her in that photo. Childish? Yes? A little pervy? Yes. But we cant keep painting these scenarios with the same brush. And really, the #metoo tag? Id be embarrassed to lump myself in with people who had been…
