    Franken should register as a Republican, apparently sexual misconduct gets a free pass if there is an 'R' next to your name.
    I think it has more to do with the photo and admitting it. The alleged yearbook signature didn't have much weight.
    Sexual misconduct is but by partisan and should never be politicized.
    Tell that to the president.

    but but you forgot numero 1 sexual predator that is president or are you of the thought he didn't do any of it ? 
    trump is a 70 year old male, chances are he sexually harassed someone in his lifetime.

    I'm changing my gropey Al estimate to a few days.

    what's with men force kissing women? so bizarre.
    so all males harass a woman/women eventually is what you're saying here?
    no...re-read it...I'm saying it's a good chance most 70 year old males with similar lifestyle as trump sexually harassed someone in their life.
    Opportunities and money to buy.
    Most people that live a normal life see it or experience it.

    I'd venture to guess 9 of 10 all women in US at one point experienced sexual harassment.

    It's a big problem and I'm glad it's being addressed.
    your original statement was this: trump is a 70 year old male, chances are he sexually harassed someone in his lifetime.

    you mentioned nothing about "males with a similar lifestyle". 

    even with that, I don't buy it. being rich/famous/etc doesn't automatically make you an asshole. 
    Agreed. I thought that comment was quite strange.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    I think Franken should resign but I do think it is interesting to compare his accusers with tRump's.

    trump admits to sexual assault and has multiple people accusing him of a range of sex crimes, and you think “chances are” he sexually harassed someone? Okay.

    Sexual misconduct is but by partisan and should never be politicized.

    How so?  It matches his current signature.

    And there was a 2nd accuser from the same time period with a whole scrap book of goodies, including a xmas card with another matching signature.

    And their stories were corroborated.  

    Meanwhile, Moore has changed his story numerous times.

    so I was on twitter last night. I follow Alyssa Milano. She tweeted once again about Me Too and Al Franken and Roy Moore. Someone responded to her tweet, "I love you Alyssa, but in the name of fairness, I remember when you flashed your breasts to a crew member of Charmed for his birthday. Did you get permission to do so? Or did you just decide to do it? Think about it. Where's your apology? Yes: YOU, TOO!". 

    the responses were predictable. 

    "a film crew is like a family, it was a friendly, cheeky gesture"
    "did anyone complain? seriously? I'd love that as a birthday present!"
    "was anyone offended?"
    "I don't think a brief incident like that in any way diminishes the powerful stance she consistently takes for good causes"
    "women don't rape with their breasts"

    so it's ok because men are pigs and enjoy nudity from women who are attractive (what about all the other crew members who were forced to witness this?). it only applies to creepy old unattractive men. 

    Thoughts?

    I just saw them commend the Democrats and Al Franken on FOX (Republican) news, for stepping up and having Franken resign.  While I'm sad to see him go, I think this is another case of the Democrats doing the right thing and setting a good example.  Franken's case seems less more severe than Roy Moore or Trump's in violating women with words and actions, but I am glad to see Franken setting an example.  Good for him!  Way to make progress in this crazy world.  Now, if the Republicans could just follow suit and not sweep everything under the rug like they do, maybe Trump would realize that it is time to bow out.   I still think he deserves a Christmas in the White House though.   The man did use much of his own money for that campaign, while some of his Republican counterparts stood by and said, "Well, yeah he's obnoxious and stubborn, but he's using his own money, time and energy to get our Republicans elected.  We'll figure out how to get rid of him later.  For now get the vote."   I've watched so many conservatives like that in my life use people and talk so much shit about them behind their backs, so that part of me feels for Trump.  But he has said a lot of crazy shit this year.   I hope he does the right thing and resigns after the new year.  It seems it would be the less messy way to go, in my opinion.

    "I am leaving while a man bragged on tape about his history of the sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party. But this decision is not about me. It’s about the people of Minnesota," Franken said.
