monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Naa. Let's all fall in senseless depravity and suck each-other's thumb.

That's a despicable suggestion. Any more of that sort of stuff and I will ask the moderators to delete every post you write on this thread.

Well said. Lash ain't the last one when it comes to "weaponizing" allegations of sexual misconduct.

It's more despicable to make excuses for it.

Hillary was once alledged to run a pedophile ring out of the non-existing basement of a random DC pizza parlor.

Guess what? It wasn't true... but it stuck somewhat.

Before lumping all these guys together, do you know the specifics of the allegations against Keillor? His explanation seemed reasonable.

I'm wondering what he thinks Franken did that was all that bad.

Cycloptichorn

Of course, it seems reasonable to you. You really like the guy.

PBS thought otherwise.

Hey, go grab women's asses and breasts...how is that all that bad?

Pathetic

Your horse is growing in height Mountie.

I'm surprisingly to me at my age able to say I have never had my ass grabbed.
Yes, I was once raped, now fifty or so years ago, major change in my life.
Still, I've been pretty well respected re ass grabbing all these years since.
So, what is wrong with my ass that I don't get this treat?

Don't tell me it's that the clothes I wear are always like cloistered nuns, since that is a no.

My point that I'll direct to sociologists is, is actual ass grabbing a relatively new phenomena?

I think Mr. Finn uses a sliding scale to measure out appropriate doses of vitriol.

Hey, how 'bout those anti-Muslim videos? What a great guy!

Pure BS

It's nothing of the sort, actually. But I can understand why it's easier for you to respond that way than it is to confront the issues I'm raising.

Cycloptichorn

Yeah, I see your point.

Wrong again. I used to run to turn his show off. Can't stand his self-indulgent monologues. I just happened to agree with his assessment of the charges against Franken. Context and all that.

No, it's not. Excusing it when the ass grabber is one of your tribal leaders isn't either.

What specifically are you referring to, when you say 'grab breasts?' The photo? I would invite you to take another look at the photo, as he's not actually grabbing anyone's breasts, but rather making it look like he is doing so in an attempt to be humorous. Note the shadows. I agree that it's in poor taste but it's hardly harrassment or abuse. He certainly isn't being accused of using his position of power to coerce anyone into having sex with him, in the way that others have done. Do you admit that? If so, it makes your outrage seem rather, I dunno. Forced.

As for 'grabbing asses,' I've both done similar things when drunk at a bar or party and had the same done to me by both women and men. It isn't exactly the end of the world.

As for Conyers, that guy can go **** himself for all I care -

Cycloptichorn

I think you can't defend your comments so you have moved on.

I don't give a damn about his anti-Muslim tweets.

I care more about American women than foreign Muslims.

Yeah, flak jackets really promote sensuality.
