“Pfft, you liberals are supposed to be compassionate, but your persecution this man just for killing some people? He did it with the best intentions of starting race war, but you have to make it political?” /s

The accuser who kicked this off is a right wing shill, and rolled it out at exactly the right time to exploit the “force out all the shitty men based on allegations alone” fad to con Democrats into picking off one of their own senators. It was also exactly the right time to distract from Roy Moore’s child rape.

We can have principles without calling for Franken to resign (or anyone for that matter), just as we can have principles without having called for Pres. Clinton to resign during the Lewinsky scandal.

Roy Moore is accused of having sexual relationships with underage girls, as well as raping and assaulting one or more of…

This is getting beyond ridiculous.

it really is pretty lol how willing the left is to eat their own with the most scant of evidence. this is a roger stone/sean hannity hit piece in action and the left is too dumb to realize it. who would have thought that a “believe any accusation no matter what at any time anywhere by anybody” policy could be…

I think there should be backlash against musicians who perform before segregated audiences. In the 1980's, Queen and Rod Stewart faced heavy criticism for performing before all white audiences in apartheid era South Africa.

Being 20 with 70 yr old parents though.... 30 with 80 yr old parents.... healthcare has come a long way, but god I wish people would put their desires aside and think about their kid’s future.

I’ll never understand the thought process behind ‘I am going to mess with sex workers, while I’m on the job!’, if you can call it a thought process. It happens in my company too - extremely buttoned-up corporate place. When there’s a team of mostly dudes (which is mostly always) working with a client, they frequently…

This is happening all over LA and it trickles down. When I first moved here, Culver City was still considered a not-so-nice place to live. I could have imaged that, eventually, I might be able to afford a place there.

So because I’m savvy at investing and improving the value of things, I’m a bad person? I need to put food on the table for my kids just like everybody else.

Fuck all this shit. Nope. Nope. Nope.

I’ll say to this what I say to all hip religion:

30 years of teaching.

I guess it’s easier to believe that a political operative is running a child slavery sex ring in a pizza parlor if a lot of the political operatives you know are running child slavery sex rings

I can’t help but feel like our society’s thinking on this has become too reductionist though.

I am a male high school teacher. I have been falsely accused of sexual harassment by female students both years I have been teaching. Once I was accused of wanting a female student (Who I didn’t even know) to stay after school and “make a video with me.” Completely false. I was also accused of sexually looking at a…

We do have a concept called “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.” Considering most of these issues take place between two people with typically few witnesses, it’s hard to get a conviction.

I have tried a couple of times to watch it because so many people find it entertaining and even funny, apparently, but all I see is an almost unbearable tragedy presented in uncomfortably exploitative ways. I feel like the people who love this documentary are basically just laughing at these two poor women and their…

I know this is the second time I’ve replied to you, but- WE WISH WE COULD FORGET OUR HOARDER RELATIVES SOMETIMES. :(

In any environment where people (pretty much exclusively men) have authority and power over others (often woman), with little real oversight, I’m sure shit like this goes on. Movies, music, sports, business, politics, religion.
