Next up! Al Franken

[SloopJonB]

Well there certainly is nobody around here who supports Trump...just a WHOLE lot of people who refuse to criticize him for anything and who defend him for everything.  But they don't support him.  noo.  

And they didn't vote for him.

And Clinton was worse.

She did confess to using email.

I kinda doubt that Trump is lying. At least not intentionally. What if he actually believes the shit he says?

That's really scary. And because of the money and celebrity he's gotten away with it all this time.

I don't think it enters into his thinking. True or false, right or wrong have no real meaning to him - "Will it get me what I want" is all he considers.

It's the fundamental attitude of a psychopath - which he is.

 

[Blue Crab]

I always thought it was an act.

Apparently @LeeAnnTweeden lied when she said “I can't even look at him anymore" or "I clench my fists when I have to see him" She sucker punched @SenFranken & lied to @JakeTapper

The notion that "abortion is murder" is certainly within people's entitlement to their own opinions and beliefs, but it is not the law.  The Supreme Court stated the law as being that a woman has the right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment, which protects her right to an abortion.  A significant portion of our population does not agree with that and ascribes to a different law.  

The law to which they ascribe has been ruled to be violative of the separation of church and state when a judge sought to keep the monument to the ten commandments in the federal courthouse, and violated a court order to remove them.  

The law to which they ascribe has been used to justify a judge's order to violate a higher court order to allow same sex marriage.  

Former Judge Roy Moore is at the heart of all of that.  "God's laws are always superior to man's laws." My objection to him has nothing to do with morality, it has to do with his lack of respect for the laws of the United States of America.  We don't see the Jehovah's Witnesses protesting the legality of blood transfusions, irrespective of their beliefs, or the Amish protesting travel via vehicles with internal combustion engines.  Yet members of Former Judge Moore's sect want their law to be the law of the land.  

Well, if their law requires them to look away and ignore it when grown men diddle 14 year old girls, I question whether their faux morality is good for this country.  It has nothing to do with partisan loyalties, at least with Former Judge Moore, it is about the rule of law and his pattern of not respecting it.  

Frankin?  Yup, he took a dumb picture and has to pay the piper. 

Well said.

Religious fucks that want to impose their religious beliefs on others can kiss my ass. They are anti-American and what they want is the opposite of freedom

Don’t get me wrong. I dig a chick that can churn butter, but I don’t think that it should define morality for everyone.

 I only asked why you dance about like a giddy gay dude while spouting gun nonsense. Where is your answer?

I already gave it:

Why are you a homophobic bigot?

And why the deflection to race? I'm poking fun at your homophobic bigotry. If I had wanted to poke fun at your racial bigotry again, I would have brought this up again:

The immature, short-sighted desire for gunpower is amplified, and more volatile, among blacks. Even more deadly than among whites.

I heard a second bimbo is now accusing Al.

Wake me when it gets to 16.

 

[Bus Driver]

I heard a second bimbo is now accusing Al.

So, two women accusing Senator Franken is a news story.  16 women accusing President Trump is a "meh".

Trump never apologized.  Big difference.

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

We need to get Franken out of the Senate and get Roy Moore into the Senate. Only then can we get a tax cut for the Best Americans and MAGA.

Seems a fair trade. After all, Franken apologized and Moore denied. The Dog/Moore standard. 

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

When a democRAT apologizes, it’s a confession.

Now we have the right wing press on a witch hunt. Produce picture evidence without background or inquiry and run with it. 

"There is nothing Bill Maher hates more than people taking comedy too seriously. And that appears to be what Page Six’s Emily Smith has done with a couple of photos taken in 2000 to promote a segment called “Strange Bedfellows” from Bill Maher’s ABC show Politically Incorrect. The New York Post “exclusive” features the headline, “Newly surfaced pics show Al Franken grabbing Arianna Huffington’s breasts and butt.” But what follows hardly delivers on that promise. Maher responded in a tweet Monday night, calling the article “so ridic and such an insult to any real victims,” adding, “Low even for you, Post.”

This "Al Franken groped Arianna" story in the NY Post while promoting a sketch on my old show is so ridic and such an insult to any real victims. Low even for you, Post.

What’s most remarkable about the Post’s article, however, is that Huffington herself rejects any untoward reading of the photos. “The notion that there was anything inappropriate in this photo shoot is truly absurd,” she said in a statement. “Al and I did a comedic sketch for Bill Maher’s Politically Incorrect called ‘Strange Bedfellows,’ in which the whole point, as the name makes clear, was that we were doing political commentary from bed. This shoot was looking back at the sketch, and we were obviously hamming it up for comedic effect.”

No actually you have that backwards. When SE posts "wake me when it gets to 16" you begin to see the truth.  Beginning with my dear inamorato the guardians of  female liberation sold their souls to dismiss his peccadilloes. Oral sex wasn't sex any more, 'is' took on a whole new meaning and women accusing liberals must be attention seeking, bimbo,  operatives of the vast right wing conspiracy instead of women who should be believed. 

It was that distortion, that blatant hypocrisy that damns liberals today. After my Bill, why did Democrats think they had the moral authority to criticize Trump. That question is not a defense of Trump or an argument that he did not deserve to be criticized. 

Is it too much to ask progressives to live by their own standards. You made misogyny and even accusations of rape relevant to the qualification to be president. You sold your license to criticize to the devil. 

I have not called for Franken's departure. I understand the decision some women make to ignore or tolerate ill behavior.  The nature of this beast is that it is often a no win situation.  Unfortunatley as time passes the accusation bleeds potency and  the truth become more opaque.  

The rapid response to accusations, Charlie Rose is today's turkey on the chopping block, leaves little room for lesser treatment to future accused. But, the Media and the public will tire of this and say enough. We will slide back into ignoring all but the most sensational cases. 

Of course you don’t call for Frankens departure. In your world, women are chattel.

Breitbart editor-in-chief: The word "rape" now means "any sex that the woman ends up regretting that she had" ALEX MARLOW (HOST): "Rape used to have a narrow definition. Rape used to have a definition where it was -- it was brutality, it was forced sexual attack and penetration. Now it's become, really, any sex that the woman ends up regretting that she had. And that leaves us without a lot of clarity, because when words lose their meaning, then they can be manipulated. And so now the left has made it so that women who are, maybe are -- I don't want to paint a scenario because the freaks at Media Matters are listening and they want to take me out of context, so I'm not going to give specific scenarios -- but you guys can do this in your own mind, where rape used to mean something. We used to all knew what it meant. And then now we don't know what it means. And then we don't know what's credible and what's not. And now everyone is going to come forward."

Well, it's pretty obvious..... women regret having sex with fascist troglodytes, so every Breitbart fanboi should realize that for him, -any- sex with any woman is actually rape.

I suspect this wasn't spelled out for them so clearly before, but given what total wankers they are, it's probably a relief.

How cute that you actually type in your response some commentary as if you actually ARE Hillary.

Makes your criticism of those who defended him and denigrated his accusers all the more weird.
