    Yeah, the interviews and witness work justifies their departure.

    Any of the far right freaks yelling about "due process" certainly are not giving the break to their enemies.

    Everything Trump said was true whether these guys did it or not.

    I do not know and neither do you. Why not let the justice system handle it instead of making a media circus out of it?

    No man should ever hit a woman except in self defense, and then only use the force necessary.

    Having said that: imo, 90% of women's tears are caused by men, but 90% of those tears are caused by women not being able to control their 'feelings' about men.

    Women, we really are as literal as we seem, we don't read your minds, and we don't care to.

    Have they proven their accusations? Are the women who accuse Clinton all liars?

    No but led him down a path that ended in his suicide and then had to scramble to cover it up so she certainly bears some resonsibility in it.

    Trump once again fakes having conviction and his followers fall for it. When five minors were arrested on suspicion of rape and attempted murder, he put out full-page ads calling for their deaths. When they were cleared by a man who admitted to the crime, knew details of the crime that weren't released to the public, and whose DNA matched that of the assailant, even then Trump didn't let up, continuing to insist that they were still guilty even after due process proved them innocent. He continued insisting on their guilt almost two decades later during the presidential campaign. His logic? Well, kids that age out at the park that late, they just have to be guilty of something, due process be damned. He only insists on this sort of reasoning for his friends. He levies all kinds of attacks and criminal conspiracy theories against his enemies without any regard at all for this supposed respect for due process.

    The women who accused Bill Clinton did so in a time in which the accused was protected and those around him did everything in their power to discredit the accusers.

    Are we still in those times or are we a society that will no longer tolerate those in power burying these abuses?

    It's good to look back and compare how things were done in the past so that we can learn going forward but we shouldn't confuse using past poor behavior as a precedence to justify or compare current poor behavior.

    I didn't hear that from you when Al Franken was accused of sexual abuse.

    He shouldn't say anything about unproven allegations. That would be irresponsible.

    We are talking about baseless allegations. You have trouble focusing?

    Yeah, you'll get an out of court settlement, and then, you'll need to find a new form of income. No one will touch you. Also, I'm very good at math.

    The focus is on baseless accusations of misconduct against women. The Obama accusation is completely unrelated.

    With millions from the settlement, why would I care if no one will touch me. Resigning would make me look guilty. Either way I'm screwed as far as career, but one way will let me retire comfortably.

    So it would be irresponsible for him to state that domestic violence against women is totally wrong and there is no level of toleration for it. How is that irresponsible?

    Yep now with that said, should the allegations against Pres. Trump be investigated and if found to be true should he be removed from office?

    And they were smart enough to have made up the stories years before they would need them to hurt Trump. Amazing how these woman knew the future far enough in advance to fake photographs.
