So if Benny Hill was still around he would have been hung & quartered by now ..  ?   makes you wonder.

is there no such thing as a joke anymore ... If one is litterally attacked or forced into an action they refused then that's different but to pat someone on the arse or joke with them at the christmas party is pretty darn meanial. :shock1:

I think Franken should stay in office.  The things he's been accused of are like frat-boy silliness.  These accusations should be looked at in terms of their seriousness.  Touching a grown woman's butt during a 3 second photo, is different than a 34-year old man trying to get a 14 year old girl to wank off his penis.  

 

LOL.   When it's a wingnut, it's all just "silliness".  But when it's a Republican, why then we need to impugn, impale, and impeach !   Too funny.

 

No worries.  I think that slut Franken is going to renege anyway.   His speech had to be the most unrepentant and truculent "apology" ever heard on the floor of the Senate.

You're just reacting that one photo that's been shown online. He's had many women accusing him of worse stuff, without photos of course.

Like what? Trying to kiss them? Wow. Big deal. Since when is that a big crime? Men have been doing that for millennium. So you do not want to be kissed. You push the guy away. You do not make a federal case out of it. This is all about money, and GOP power. An accused child molester, and statutory rapist is running for office, and the deflector in chief is a guy who has said he grabs strangers by the pussy, on tape, and that those strangers are basically willing to do anything because he is famous, while a guy who tried to kiss a few grown women, is resigning? Something here really stinks. 

 

The bottom line is this. Teflon Don has created an environment that is so toxic, so putred, so horrendous, that standards no longer apply to most Republicans. Especially the ones he supports.

Is it Franks or Franken? Why can't they just be frank? So confusing!

There's 2 resigning with similar names.

Apparently offering money to someone that works for you have your baby is an offence so bad that he had to resign.

I don't think that is, but exhibiting such appalling bad judgement is. 

It'll be interesting to find out all the other members of Congress that have harassed and molested their staff. There must be a lot of them to have had to pay out 17 million $ in hush money.
