Lol....

Because Franken was elected to fall on his sword in order to make this seem more reasonable and justified.

Just like Conyers and the rest of the sexual harassment hoopla that's been going on for the past few months.

Democrats, apparently seeing what an utter and complete failure their accusing anyone who disagrees with them of being a deplorable racist was, are moving on to the "p***y grabber" strategy.

This is all to set up some Liberal with a vagina to run against Trump in 2020.

And if Liberals think this isn't as transparent as the way they overdrew the race card, then they may be in for a rude awakening.....

Again.

Hah, yeah... it seems like something erupts every time things heat up for him. I wondered if he had tweeted yet this morning, since he would usually be doing so.

Default Jodie Foster on #MeToo: "Justice by Twitter is not the right way to go"

Due process. the Dems have to answer to why they drummed one of their own out of the Senate, without due process.

Default What happened to "it's his private business"

I recall during the wonderful Clinton years, nothing but "it's his private business" when he was doing unspeakable things and acting in the worst possible way, but today all these outraged so called feminists want an investigation on 40 year old unproven allegations. You are all total hypocrites of the worst order.


And for all your bravery, 40+ years later accusing someone of something which cannot be defended is disgusting. The a$$holes who want to believe it will and they will rant and rave and rail and scream "impeach impeach impeach".


This is all getting old folks, the Democrats have not had a positive thought or idea in well over a year. No class, no grace, no brains, just big mouths.

Nothing better than libs talking about a moral high ground. You folks sacrificed all credibility on morals to political expediency years ago. You reap what you sow baby...no one cares anymore. Especially when it's so blatantly political

Trump 2020

Can you imagine if Obama had 18 women accusing him of sexual harrassment?! I wonder if Trump supporters would say "allow Obama due process" or "fake news." Friggin' hypocrites.


You could probably go downtown in any metropolitan area and find 18 women who would be willing to accuse Trump of sexual harassment.

In an hour.

I think it is useless and actually disingenuous to talk about what party did or didn't tolerate it's congressional members misdeeds in the past because, as we all know, the character of parties and congress changes. (I do think the Democrats of the past who ignored this issue were wrong, but that is the past.) So if we look at the standards NOW being used, it appears that the Democrats and Republicans are using different rule books. The Democrats are practicing no tolerance for sexual harassment and abuse. If you are credibly accused of it, you are gone. The Republicans think its not so bad. They tolerate it for political purposes. So we have an imbalance here. Time will tell which approach works for the voters. I do think that Republicans NOW should think about whether they want to keep company with other who think this sort of thing is not important enough to keep people out of congress or the presidency (ie: it doesn't really matter).

What is good for the goose is always good for the gander.
The GOP spent 5 years on the Clintons...to find a small stain.

Now we have a guy who admits to grabbing anything within range, who is a known cheater and adulterer and who has been seriously accused of raping even a 13 year old. Now - she dropped the lawsuit....but we don't know if she was threatened with death or bodily harm. Others have been.

A full and complete investigation is needed to prove if the POTUS is telling the truth - that being "it was only locker room talk".

A deeper question is this...if we find out that he DID rape underage and without consent and on and on, how many of his supporters would still stand behind him? I think a lot would...they are NOT the moral majority or anything like that!
