Al Franken accused of kissing and groping radio host. Will resign.

[unseenmorbidity]

to be fair, she was AWAKE then. And the touching was obviously consensual there.

That one pic looks like she is smacking Robin Williams on the ass. That's clear sexual harassment.

How do we know Robin consented?

Leann's complaint is starting to look like the theory of sexual harassment based on the

Harvey Weinstein vs Brad Pitt perp.

One is a harasser the other is playful hijinks

 

[unseenmorbidity]

How do we know Robin consented?

Well we can't ask, because he is dead. Even if we could, he could always lie. I would probably lie and say it was consensual, so the person didn't get in trouble.

 

[Starbuck1975]

Well what do we have here?

If that's her then she doesn't have a leg to stand on and needs to STFU. She should be apologizing to Al for this one.

That slut. Just look at that outfit. I bet she was just asking for it. Franken is the real victim here. No means yes.

I don't believe Franken needs to face any punishment over this. He apologized. We move on. But slut shaming the victim is kind of hypocritical.

Unless of course that is now cool again. I apologize for the confusion. I just got done working out with three televisions in front of me, each tuned to Fox, CNN and MSNBC. After watching all the Sunday talk shows in parallel, the political narratives have all turned into one big bowl of spagetti.

 

[shortylickens]

I would gladly trade Leann for Robin.

In a second.

Who are they?

The woman was the victim of Franken's and it's a picture of her standing behind someone.

Yes, it's now perfectly OK to slut shame victims as long as the perps are Democrats. As long as a Democrat yells "SORRY" as they use yet another victim as a speed bump, it's perfectly OK.

 

[Sunburn74]

This story grows more and more ridiculous everyday. Franken seems less and less culpable each day particularly with no other accusers coming forward.

She isn't just standing behind the man that much is certain.

 

[Pens1566]

The more that comes to the surface on this one, the more it seems like a nothing-burger.

Watched them too. Biggest WTF moment came from Jason Chaffez. Trump runs and he says I can't support him because I have daughters. Trump gets nomination Chaffez says he'll vote for him.

Now he gets on the shows and says we shouldn't allow people like this in high office. Nobody on the panel asked him "didn't you vote for Trump?

Don't know sarcasm when you see it it?

Point being based on her own behavior the accusation rings a little hollow. Both sides have apologized and accepted.

Agree this is a nothing burger and we move on to others.

I still can't believe that the people condemning this action turn a blind eye to their fuhrer.

So why did she bring it up in the first place?

Yo, bitch, these aren't going to carry themselves

 

[Thebobo]

So why did she bring it up in the first place?

Well there are two probable reasons in my mind

1. One she is a sweetheart of a gal and has been abused by an evil comedian. And she went on just about every TV show possible to be interviewed about it after she accepted his apology.
   
   
2. Or she's a lying harlot.
   
   I'm going for #2

I predict future employment on faux newz.

Here she is sexually assaulting Robin Williams

He should step down if you want to hold your head high in the Democratic party and not risk being accused of hypocrisy.

Simple as that.

 

[IronWing]

That's probably why he killed himself.

Personally, I'd rather be grabbed by Leeann.

For what, being pushy and crossing someone's bounds? It wasn't rape.

Um why? No crime committed here, nor is there a pattern of this kind of behavior, he apologized and she accepted the apology, and we're not even sure if what she's saying is true because it seems like the stuff she was complaining about was basically the act they were running and had been running for sometime.

I mean for sure the differentiating thing here between franken and all the rest is 1: no pattern of this kind of behavior (isolated accusation) and 2: serious credibility issues with the accuser (he said, she said stuff).

You know what... you do whatever the fuck you like, I don't really care about the shithole you are leaving for 7 more years of Trump by your ignorance of optics.

You do you and we'll try to stay as fucking far away as we can.

Well we should wait on the first public opinion polls on this issue to come out before we judge the optics. I can only give my personal view on how what he is accused of compares to all the other scandals or recent that actually led to resignations.


If the question is will Franken drag down the democratic party, I think the answer is no. I mean, just think about it; there is dem senator who just got out of a corruption trial and it basically is having no effect on the party, talk less of a guy who has a less than credible accusation against him and for the most part is playing it pretty well. Plus franken or no franken, dems in general are still pretty pissed about a lot of other issues with the GOP and won't be satisfied until they've had their pound of flesh. Politics is so incredibly polarized today on both sides.

No, you should throw him out on his arse the day he admitted to doing it and kept the high ground.

I have this prediction that Bill Clintons improprieties will follow you to this day and what the fuck do you know, IT'S TRUE!

So what Donald tried to grab them by the pussy, Al Franken grabbed a woman's breasts WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING!

Of course, since you are on one side and can admit no fault what so ever, you will never get this but that is how this will play out and in the end, you'll lose.

No one cares about anything but optics... If i know ONE thing about US politics it's that it's not about policies or actions made at all, those are irrelevant, it's about optics, popularity and ideology and you can't claim higher grounds when you have someone who they can POSSIBLY drag you down with. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it doesn't even matter if it's true at all, only the optics and the popularity contest matters.

Last thing that ever matters is whether any candidates promises are even feasible, you really don't give a shit about reality at all over there.
