Ha! You mean like going to church clutching a bible? Or wearing a flag lapel pin? Or speaking out against marriage equality or if you prefer, gay marriage? Or speaking favorably of white nationalists? Those things aren’t calculated?JC29856 said:

Let's never forget that two of the accusations against Trump were of child rape.josevolution said:
It sure as hell won't be orange bafoon resigning over all the women he has assaulted because as you said he's a 70 yr old who probably gropped a few women the key word you used was probably no or am i wrong , so lets see we have three Democrats that have quit in the face of these scandals which are child games compared to what the orange bafoon is accused of by multiple women and no they are not going anywhere as matter of fact they are revered like heros by their supporters ....Moore is a child molester their is no denying that fact ...JC29856 said:this is why Conyers and Franken were forced out.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
the ultimate whataboutism!
Franken: "There is some irony that I am leaving while a man who bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who preyed on young girls runs for Senate with the full support of his party."
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

Weren't there six other women that also accused him of groping or attempted kissing? That seems like a big enough number in my book. If you are 50% of Trump accusers, you're out.Gern Blansten said:
Yeah the airplane pic was bogus. He shouldn't have done it but he clearly wasn't touching her...and she was wearing a flak jacket so her boobs were under an inch of metal.JC29856 said:
I agree.Gern Blansten said:
I'm not a victim shamer but the picture she took with him doesn't seem to suggest that he just got done cupping her breast. Obviously the person taking the picture would have seen it as well right? There appear to be other people there as well.JC29856 said:
one of the accusers thinks Franken should recalibrate his moral compass.josevolution said:

Not saying it didn't happen...but if you were a female and it happened to you wouldn't you walk away without a picture?
Just talking about the photos and the photos only, forgive me but I didn't find anything too egregious with either picture.
the airplane photo looked to me like he wasn't even touching the women. it doesn't make it right, it's still disrespectful but not resignation worthy. he apologized, he thought it was funny.
I still think he should resign. Only because the climate is so severe that the respect for the office would be affected.
I am glad that he pointed out the irony of his resignation vs Moore/Trump.0 -

Oh I don’t care which party they’re from, as like you, if they’re guilty, they gotta go. But I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t tell you that I hope it’s at least 10-1 repubes to dems so we can get the house back and begin impeachment hearings based on factual evidence.
