Response by Franken supporter. Basically, "She was asking for it!".

Be interesting who (if anyone) from his own party calls for Franken to resign.

My money is on the "if anyone" because... "IT'S DIFFERENT, OK!" (when it is someone on our side.)

Sheldon Whitehouse has already come out and said that the press will have to ask him about something more interesting than the Franken accusations. Ho-hum.

I think some will come out against Franken from that side, just as some are coming out (a bit late) on Clinton. Not sure if any dems in office with name recognition will though.

This will just be an interesting one because of the photographic evidence. Whether Franken was just "kidding around" or not, it seems pretty obvious that Tweeden was really asleep and not in on the joke. It will be much easier for them to shrug off all the Biden photos than to shrug this off. Especially with the added "tongue down the throat".

A second woman has come forward to accuse Franken:

Well, they might just throw him under the bus. He's in a safe seat with a Democrat governor to appoint his replacement. Gotta crack some eggs, Al!

(Incidentally, I'm greatly enjoying this reprobate's comeuppance. His very presence in the Senate after STEALING the election in 2008 has been an affront to justice.)

So the photographer was Franken's brother.

I'd be perfectly happy to see this trend destroy 1000s of politicians regardless of what side of the aisle they are on.

Maybe it will finally switch on the lights in people to realize that the political class are, as a rule, scum. And we could finally get away from letting them make momentous decisions for us.

Out of curiosity, what have you told or taught the females in your lives to do regarding sexual harassment? Being gun guys, I already know the most likely advice you all have for sexual assault.

I tell all women of my acquaintance they should carry a gun, and know how to use it.

Unfortunately, because of a proclivity to serial suicide attempts, I can't extend that advice to my own daughter.

My oldest girl is 7, so she's only got the most basic instruction so far. (Not allowing touching, tell mommy and daddy and the like)

As they get older, we'll read "The Gift of Fear." Very useful book (not perfect, but none is). One of the important lessons is, to listen to your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable, don't dismiss it, find out why. Oftentimes it is because someone is using societal conventions against you.

I see that happening in every one of these stories. (Especially in a place with already horribly messed up conventions like Hollywood.)

This is all, of course, prior to an assault. During an assualt it's shoot center mass and don't stop until threat is ended.

(If she is disarmed, it will be fight back and aim for weak spots- eyes, joints, etc...)

Do your level best to put the offender in the hospital. Gouge eyes, kick knees, throat punch, whatever soft target she can find. (assuming for some reason she can't just shoot him).

Even if he's just trying to be grabby, or pulling a Weinstein (some kind of quid pro quo offer) a severely injured male in a hospital accused of rape is not the kind of "he said, she said" that is winnable for him. What's he going to say "I wasn't trying to rape her like she thinks, I just wanted her to *expletive deleted*ck me for a promotion?"

Democrat candidate for governor tries to get ahead of the story:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/11/17/dem-candidate-boasts-hayloft-romp-sex-with-50-women-in-bid-to-preempt-oppo.html

Quote

O’Neill went on to say: “In the last fifty years I was sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females. It ranged from a gorgeous blonde who was my first true love and we made passionate love in the hayloft of her parent’s barn and ended with a drop dead gorgeous red head from Cleveland.”

This guy misses the point. The issue with Franken, Weinstein, et al. isn't that they're promiscuous. The issue is they are sexually harassing and assaulting women.

Personally, I'm glad to see them burn. Scumbags are scumbags, regardless of party line. People who use their position to get away with rape or sexual assault deserve to be removed from those positions of trust. Hopefully this is the tip of the iceberg. I know Congress has plenty more dirt to be exposed.

Feminist Lena "believe women" Dunham is believing one of her former writers over the woman who says he raped her when she was 17. Interesting, for someone who otherwise attacks men just for breathing.

You mean Lena "It's not assault when it's your own sister" Dunham?

THAT Lena Dunham?
