Next up on the Sexual Misconduct Parade - Al Franken!

[gtopa1]

Well, it has been fun watching all the partisan hacks defending Moore for the last week show their true hypocritical selves

to be fair, most on both sides are dogging franken. i've not seen many defend him.

then again i ignore a vast majority in here.

I agree most of both sides are calling out Franken, many doing so as they still defend Moore to their dying breath.

i think a lot of this is simply witch hunting and our latest craze/fad to hit people with. just another sign of how fucked up we've made this country with our double, triple and quadruple standards all around.

gonna be a rough ride out of shit shithole.

It is going to be a rough ride but I think it is a ride down, not up. People are happy as pigs in shit being hyper-partisan. Why would they change?

The only hope I see is that my children’s generation is looking at us and going “what the fuck is wrong with you all”

I do not think we have double or triple standards, what we have is the partisan standard. The party of the once accused determines if it was ok or not.

Even with damning evidence like the photo AND the admission it needs to be tested in Court. The hysteria is media driven; gotta fill those columns.

If he hadn’t crossed the line with kissing this lady in private it would be easier to defend but this definitely cracked the flood gates.

'Kissing the lady in private'...




Come on - man up. We're all adults now - call it what it what it was...according to the victim. She declared he 'FORCIBLY kissed her against her will' and grabbed her boobs while she slept. This was, again, not a comedy skit or some college frat prank, this was 'sexual assault'.

At least he's man enough to fess up - unlike Trump, Moore and the rest of the groping GOPervs

Franken makes a longer statement: "I'm sorry" and “I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate."

He Sorry? I’m so that he is! He’s sorry that he was Caught!

Not bad, actually...sounds sincere--but--only the sacrifice of his job..would give it meaning...actions have consequences--and for him the 'walk the talk' and resign..is the only thing that would regain even a spark of respect, from me. Otherwise..his speechwriter wrote it and the only thing he is sorry for..is getting caught.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Al Franken has "some" support on this....

I forgot where I saw it but some genius suggested.....

The law should be such that the punishment for groping a woman's breasts should decrease as the exposure of said breasts increases.
If you want them to be considered private, keep them covered in public.

What a totally ignorant dumb ass stupid thing to say huh?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Ethics committee will whitewash this.

Nothing will happen to Franken.

even has a picture in there grabbing the breasts of the woman on the USO tour while she was sleeping.

he needs to resign and step down.

Sounds like Franken was going for some lovin’ and got denied. Can’t say I blame him for the persuit, have you seen this girl?! But wildly inappropriate to go in for the kiss as hot as he did. I think he owes her a public apology. I don’t think this rises to the level of destroying his career in the senate. Guys are going to make moves on girls, it’s nature, there is a line between inappropriate and criminal. Franken was inappropriate in my opinion and I do feel bad that it effected this women like it did. Hope he makes things right and apologies

except now people are going to dig until pretty much he was born and look for / create a pattern of behavior. this is a kiss of death right now.

I agree. He was a comic who did a lot of inappropriate material. The sexual jokes and inappropriate interactions are sure to be exploited. If he hadn’t crossed the line with kissing this lady in private it would be easier to defend but this definitely cracked the flood gates. If it was the photo alone I actually don’t think this would be a big deal.

a few years ago it would not have mattered. likely why it stayed out of public eye. only now that the fuse has been lit everyone is doing the #METOO and telling about anything and everything they can.

witch hunt. while it will take out a few good witches, it's going to take out of a lot more too along the way.

Franken should be subjected to the same rush to judgement that Moore received. Right?

Despite being in the public eye for the last 30 years or so, he is now branded a sexual predator over a photo? See how fucking stupid we are?

Meanwhile, we have 3 carrier groups off the coast of North Korea, multiple undeclared wars being fought, a GINORMOUS bond, real estate, and stock bubble about to burst...BUT....

Please don't let that distract you from Creepy Al Franken or Judge Moore!! That's the shit that really matters...

oh wait...

SQUIRREL!!!!!

We don't need to "rush to judgment" because Franken already admitted it and apologized.
Unlike Moore.

tough to ignore a photo. eh? Just pull one out now that has the evidence to convict Moore and we're good.

That photo was supposed to be a joke. Try having sex with someone full clothed and in a kevlar vest. Big turn on for you?
Of course there aren't any pictures of Moore ACTUALLY assaulting the girls, because predators don't take pictures of that.

 

[MarkDuffy]

Al Franken is a real man of class

Immediate full throated apology

republicans?

Immediate denial and calling the woman a whore and liar

 

[RadicalRedneck]

Franken makes a longer statement: "I'm sorry" and “I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate."

He’s got NO choice, and NO CHANCE.
Ain’t Karma Great!

Yes, he must have great 'testicular fortitude' for stepping up and apologizing for sexually assaulting her - after the victim publicly accused him and the photo surfaced - in order to try to save his ass while so many around him who have done what he did or less are getting hammered / axed.

Bwuhahaha...

Does he / snowflakes really think if they get busted sexually assaulting a woman everything is better and they are not to be held accountable if they apologize after the fact?

I wonder if Polanski has called Franken yet an offered him his spare bedroom...

 

[Mac1958]

Sure, no problem.
Once the same applies to ALL that get's caught red-handed.
However, what we see instead are rightwingers overly enthusiastic and gleeful to report when Democrats do it, but totally defensive and denying when Republicans do it.
You people are uncanny.
And that's putting it in the nicest terms possible.

I haven't read through the thread, but I'm willing to wager not one liberal will defend this.

Keep 'em coming.

The Lefties are acting just like the Righties do.

Deflect, spin, attack.

The two ends are very similar in their behaviors.
.

They're deflecting and spinning to what?

Is anyone defending his actions?

Be honest for once.

Where did I say they're defending anything?

Standard straw man response. Be honest for once.

You ends are peas in a pod.

Senator Al Franken Kissed and Groped Me Without My Consent, And There’s Nothing Funny About It

even has a picture in there grabbing the breasts of the woman on the USO tour while she was sleeping.

he needs to resign and step down.

The Great Orange Douche proved Groping was a non-issue for 63M folks
in 2016. Why are GOP/ DOPers upset now?

But in entertainment, there is a shit load of these stupid grabs.

btw. If you go to sex Island, your chasing underage girls to 25-year-old owned sex slaves or working hookers

As of now, all of the information about this lawsuit comes solely from the complaint filed by “Katie Johnson,” and no one has as yet located, identified, or interviewed her. She was scheduled to appear at a press conference on 2 November 2016 but didn’t show up, claiming that threats to her life kept her away. She reportedly dropped the lawsuit again on 4 November 2016 for the same reason.
https://nypost.com/2016/10/09/the-s...xposed-pedophile-billionaire-jeffrey-epstein/

and yes Bubba went to sex island as well. I wonder if both Douche and Bubba were there together?

And some grabs could be from riding low. And just happen.

And for me. I love to be sitting getting greetings or the leaving hugs.
You get the full boobie face-plant treatment sometimes.
No hands.

 

[iceberg]

and here comes his past flooding back on him.

Live From New York: It's Al Franken | News | The Harvard Crimson

He recalled writing a skit called "Seamen on Broadway" that was rejected from the Hasty Pudding show "by some preppie so they could take some other preppie's skit." Franken started to smile again, but his tone was serious, too serious. "It's not preppies, cause I'm a preppie myself. I just don't like homosexuals. If you ask me, they're all homosexuals in the Pudding. Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia." The smile became so broad it pushed his eyes shut. He couldn't stand it any longer. "Put that in, put that in," Franken laughed, leaning over the desk. "I'd love to see that in The Crimson."

empty and meaningless, he held onto that secret until caught. no true apologist at all. If he would have apologized let's say the week it happened, ok, today, nope. no good.

Okay IF he wrote that and IF he meant it, that goes a way toward cleaning up his mess.

 

[bodecea]

This is too much... Al Franken - said "I don't recall!"..........hahahahahahahahaha

Moore .....9 women speak up
Trump 12 women speak up
Franken 1 women speaks up

Moore denies it
Trump denies it
Franken admits it
