I’m a feminist. I study rape culture. And I don’t want Al Franken to resign.

    Uh, yes, I made up my own description. Did I hurt your feelings?

    As I read though this. it appears liberals will accept nothing less than photographic proof and even then it is questionable they want anything done about it.

    That said, there are no pics of Moore doing what people claim, so that is the end of that correct?

    the question is laid at your feet
    I don't have to believe the shoving his tongue into her mouth portion of her story the picture of the sexual assault is damning enough to justify him being removed

    Now the ball is in your court do you believe the accusations against Moore and Trump just on the women's word alone? if you do then you must believe B. Clinton is a rapist and those that voted for Clinton wanted a rapist to occupy the white house

    I've always been an Independent. Voted Reagan because the country needed Reagan. Voted for Bill Clinton too ... same reasoning. The Dems have shifted sooo far left, I can't imagine supporting another (D). I think some (R)'s are actually (D)'s who support RINO's in the GOP establishment. I mean, all those RINO's were elected by someone. I'm overjoyed that several won't be seeking re-election as a result of Trumps badgering. MAGA.

    Is there a reason you edited this out of the post you copied?
    "Although this may very well be BS...it is unfortunately believable because of all the lies."

    Perhaps because it would defeat your whole purpose?

    Calm your jets.

    You brought up the whole "did he or didn't he touch the breast" I'm just telling you that nobody cares if there was skin to skin contact or not.

    Nobody is putting any words in your mouth.

    Nice Math skills.... Here's the actual quote

    SNIP
    The Donald Trump campaign is slamming Hillary Clinton for saying that half of Trump’s supporters belong in a "basket of deplorables."
    ENDSNIP

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016

    Total US Electorate in 2016 = 128,838,341
    Trump Voters = 62,984,825
    1/2 of that = 31,492,413 (I rounded up for ya) = 24.44% of Electorate...

    I've seen nothing on this thread or elsewhere in the world since Nov 2016 to think she was too far off...

    Ah yes, few things threaten alt right neanderthals more than a smart woman not afraid to speak her mind. I feel sorry for the women who have to deal with you.

    Unfortunately how is that done now? There is no court case to take testimony. There are no contemporaneous witnesses to the events. The yearbook can be examined. But to have an infestigation within the timeframe of the election? This entire matter has ben a disservice to the voters of Alabama.

    I said seemed, you have said otherwise so be it.

    Your first post was not edited and your attempt to substitute your second post after we demanded a source is pathetic and dishonest. Your post #136 stands alone.

    It didn't "seem", since my posts were very clear. I see you don't want to admit you were wrong. That's too bad. But continue in your dishonesty since it makes you feel good.

    Not here to relitigate the past 30 years of bad behavior by male politicians... we'd break the site.....this is a Franken thread, and that's my limit...

    On another thread yesterday, I believe the vast majority were in agreement that the photo is not sexual assault.... stupid?? Sure.... sexual harassment?? 90% yes... But I'm not buying sexual assault on that photo.... sorry, not going all 'Hang Em High" on that....

    If the kissing story could be proven (another witness or some visual), I'd probably rethink....

    Unwanted fondling IS sexual assault. Your "it's a Franken thread, I won't comment on Moore and Trump" cop-out is a clear, albeit lame attempt at double standard. Well done.

    Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape.

    Not sexual assault? best you read the DOJs description of sexual assault

    Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape.

    Translation: No, I'm not taking the bet because you and I both know I'd lose.

    Look, zrb; you are free to lie all you like but if you lie about me, I'm going to call you on it.

    Correct. However, do you agree the sentencing of a person who committed sexual assault by touching a woman's body armor would be different than a pedophile touching a girl's vagina under her panties?

    Dude you just went way overboard.

    I wasn't putting words in your mouth I was speaking in the social figurative.

    Again, relax.

    You brought up the whole "did he or didn't he touch the breast" I'm just telling you that nobody cares if there was skin to skin contact or not.
