That tweet by Moore is actually great news: he’s pointing out McConnell’s “hypocrisy”. The last thing the GOP wants is an investigation of Moore, with 8 women coming to testify. Poor Mitch.

And yet, I would still gladly allow Sen. Franken to babysit my child.

If this woman had only worn a sign saying Do Not Touch only My Pants would have touched her. This is acting as a distraction to all the terrible news coming out about the House passing an awful bill, and the contents of the proposed senate bill. We’ll all be worse off and poorer if they come together on this abomination. .But let’s keep plucking this chicken

The photographer has come out and said the woman in the picture wasn’t sleeping. She was pretending to be sleeping, and was in on the joke.

I already said this before elsewhere but this has Roger Stone’s hands all over this.

Do not fall for this disinformation campaign crap. The alt-right/far-right/whatever-you-want-to-call-them is running offense in hopes of propping up Roy Moore. This cannot be allowed to be used for more “both-siderism” nonsense. It’s 2016 all over again.

There you go again, considering context.
In dire straits, I’d consider allowing Ol’ Roy to babysit my 30 month old daughter (had I a daughter of any age). There’s no evidence that he’s a menace to pre-pubescent girls. Once she reaches age 7 or so – no way.
I’d let Al Franken babysit her at any age.

Roy–go fuck yourself you pedophile.
And Al, stupid fucking move. Thanks for being an asshole.
When you hit seven and are calling them all liars than you have a problem. This guy is truly a Trump candidate right there. The people in Alabama should be ashamed.

This is much closer to how I have thought of Franken.

We can only thank goodness there wasn’t any plucking in these allegations.

I guess, but it was a stupid argument in 2016 and a stupid one now. Franken should likely step down at this point. Investigation or not. Moore should step down too. They are not really the same thing at all though.
Just like Trump’s actions of doing horrible things and then having conservatives support it with random somewhat similar incident from the past. It has more to do with how gullible a fair number of American’s are than anything else.
And that raises the question of why she is shading the truth of the matter.

In Alabama, ZERO evidence, allegations 100% rejected.
Where did you see this?

Let’s not forget comedy has kind of evolved on harassment and other societal issues.
A Bob Hope or George Burns riff today might make people groan.
Richard Pryor stopped using the word N*****.
The old legal phrase comes in to play, evolving standards of decency.

Why should Franken step down when this is obviously a fabricated hit job coordinated to give Roy Moore cover and try to tarnish his reputation? Do you hear what you’re saying?
That’s their intent. So playing into it is the logical, sane choice of action?
If Franken actually turned out to be a serial molesting pervert, then yes he should. But he isn’t.
This is a hitjob. A false attack coordinated by Roger Stone and Brietbart. Why should the left continuously sacrifice and offer themselves to be trampled when the right refuses to self-introspect or hold to account the actual serial perverts, molesters and hate-mongerers within their own ranks? What good does cutting down our own side of one of our best do in terms of equalizing and fighting back against their ongoing attempt to tear down this country?
This is what I’m talking about. If we can’t see the game for what it is, we’re going to keep losing. Because we want to be “right.” Being right won’t mean anything if we’re bleeding out on the ground.

Roy?
Accuser number five, you know, the one where you, a grown man, signed her yearbook with “love?”
She has offered, through her attorney, to testify before the Senate, in public, under oath, and therefore, penalty of perjury.
You willing to do the same?
If not, you kinda need to shut the ^%$# up.

I’m worried about the backlash to all of this (the cascade, not Franken in particular). I’m worried it will become a joke, like “PC”, like universities dis-inviting people, and people will take it even less seriously than before.

There’s a scene in the Steve Martin movie “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” where he literally molests a woman who has passed out. Comedy evolves.
