I am really tired of the “he wasn’t ACTUALLY touching her in the photo” defense.

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.…

Franken isn’t under arrest or facing legal consequences for this, last time I checked, so what is your point? She should have stayed silent because her treatment by Franken wasn’t as bad as someone else who was sexually harassed by a powerful man?

It’s a photo of the same man that pressured her into rehearsing a kiss, while they were alone, after her repeated refusals, and then stuck his tongue down her throat. He ignored her refusals and continued to sexualize her while she was unconscious.

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.

“We have GOT to be better than this”

Yeah to all the people who are like “This is bad but it’s not THHHHHAAAAAAT bad” or “It’s not AAAAAS bad as other instances of sexual harassment!” please just stop. Making comparisons between other allegations or political parties is not helpful. Comparisons inherently legitimize/forgive some instances of sexual…

Absolutely. I love Franken as a senator, and had been hoping he’d run in 2020. But he needs to step down, now.

It’s more than the photo though. The article is pretty clear on that.

I’m already sick of the apologists claiming “It was a JOKE! He was on SNL!” like that makes it ok.

That Wife with a Purpose lady (who is totally not a white supremacist, surely not, despite reposting tonnes of white power crap and crying about white genocide) certainly has a lot of time to spend on twitter for being a “traditional” wife and mother who homeschools her six kids. Shouldn’t she be darning socks or…

She @’d Vox Day. Without checking her account I was already like, yah, no she’s garbage.

Welp, purposeful wife was also a white supremacist, so (won’t happen) maybe she gets outta her racist shell and lets them kids grow up judging ppl on deeds, merit, and intention.

THIS ONE MILLION TIMES. It’s the same thing I tell anti-abortionists. If you don’t like abortion, don’t fucking have one.

“We believe in the right to protest inequality and support the players’ movement to create a new platform for change. We also believe together, as Americans, we should honor our anthem. There is a way to do both,” another tweet read.”

I’VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FOOT FINGERS!

There’s gonna be so much walking in this thing. The cast is gonna be so fit by the end of it, and have so many blisters on their feet.

My daughter (honor roll, authored 2 books, speaks Japanese, sings in Italian) was arrested for 3rd degree attempted buglary when she was 16 on the say so of a white neighbor’s 12 & 14yr old.

The gun shop owner is right to be wary about how the guns will be used or re-sold, I’ll never forget that time 50 years ago that we were invaded by armed Wakandan Special Forces.

It’s only going to get crazier, I think. Stay away from blind items unless you feel like making yourself sick. And don’t ever put your kids in show business (if you have any)
