Sorry, that's only for my Patreon subscribers.

You called it. I wish I could say I was surprised.There ya go more groping allegations against Franken.
Habitual line stepper at the very least.

I'm calling bullshit. The first accusation has some questionable stuff floating around it (source of the photo, Roger Stone's possible involvement), hence Franken's insistence it go straight to the ethics panel for investigation, and this second one just sounds stupid. He grabbed some girl's ass during one of a thousand photo ops while her husband took the picture? Come on.
Charlie Rose next in the hot seat now.
I didn’t think of the Roger Stone mark on this, but you’re probably right.
Don't forget Roger Moore.
So are we having the conversation about sexual harassment
Or are we having a witch hunt?
Because I would love to see us get rid of sexual harassment
But witch hunting is counter productive.
This is a purge. Expect lots of old guys who used their positions as a means to chase women to go down hard.
I have no problem with it when the harassment occurs in a professional context, though. If a dude hits on a girl at a bar and she's not interested, it's not sexual harassment because of the context; she just rejects him and has a good laugh with her friends at his expense. If he does it at a professional venue (office, convention, etc.) to women who are in subordinate positions, he's putting them in an uncomfortable position and setting himself up for a firing.
What's bullshit about Rose is his morning show co-hosts lining up against him when they make all kinds of inappropriate, pseudo-sexual comments on the show practically every day and he laughs it off because that's what dudes are supposed to do when gross old ladies talk about sex.
I'm not buying ALL of these accusations.
Using persuasion on a completely cognizant person in order to get sex is not a violation or predatory.
Hell, lying to someone about yourself in order to get sex from an adult is still just fine.
It's the power relationship established through the workplace that's getting these guys into trouble.
Yeah but the Power is implied by the victims. Power is not a real thing.

So you are saying you would go into video chat with Rot just because he invited you?
you deserve what happens if you do that.
Dumbass Franken announced his resignation (not immediate, but within the month). Blamed the Republicans.
He seems to pretty clearly believe that he's being forced out, and that he honestly feels like he didn't do anything deserving of punishment.
I hate to see this side of a guy I used to really like, but I'm glad we're seeing it now instead of in two and a half years as the Democratic nominee.
Agree with NeoCverA. Dems are idiots. They don't deserve to win; the Republicans consistently outmaneuver them. Never admit fault and never apologize.
If there's a way to lose, the Democrats will find it.
That's an unorthodox use of "deserve". I'd say quite the opposite - an introspective and apologetic person deserves to win but won't.
They just have to nominate someone who's not a total shit sandwich. So, 50-50.
