Democrats want republicans to follow the same standards the democrats are setting? We will, we will follow their standard and call for a senator to resign over sexual assault allegations only when there is a democrat president under the same type of allegations but not when the president is on our side just like how they did with Bill Clinton. Only calling for anyone to resign over sexual allegations when the risk is minimal and the gain is tremendous but attack the victims and protect the pervert when he was their president, what a great party for women.

You can’t claim moral high ground after protecting Bill Clinton from allegations against him for so long and only opportunistically care about sexual allegations when you have a president from the other side under the same allegations.

Howcan anyone claim moral highground if the motive of the resignation is not due to guilt or a way to atone his sins but just for the sake of claiming high ground as clearle stated in his speechï¼Ÿ i resign eventhough i am completely innocent so you have to resign even though you could be completely innocent too to match our standard. Give me a break, a resignation of a senator in exchange for the resignation of the president, great calculation by the Dems, but people will not forget they never cared about sexual allegations when Bill Clinton was the president, we endured eight years of having a pervert democrat president, they have to endure eight years of having a pervert republican president too even every allegation against trump is true as there punishment.

Anyone want to bet Franken never actually resigns? At first I thought he was pushed so as to enable the Dems criticism of Moore, which I still think is true. Now that Franken has announced his resignation in the future, after the Alabama vote, I suspect he will take back the resignation and weather whatever storm such an act brings. He’s set that up by refusing to admit to inappropriate behavior – some incidents he denies, others he says happened differently – and by asserting that Trump & Moore did worse. If i want to go fully down the conspiracy rat hole I would say that Pelosi and all those other vocal female Democrats calling for him to step down are in on the plot, maybe even developed it.

As to the sexual scumbag part, I suspect that Franken’s conduct was typical of the entertainment industry. An environment of high sexual promiscuity (which that industry is) tends to feature extra squeezes and gropes and rubs and kisses on the lips (from both sexes). Unfortunately for Franken, that sort of conduct is less common at the Minnesota State Fair and in the armed forces.

His election was illegitimate — and his purge is illegitimate.

Reciprocity, then.

Franken was sacrificed because Conyers was sacrificed. The dem power structure had to appease the CBC. I am enjoying the flaming canvas of the democrat’s big top circus.

‘War on women’ is now a hot potato for the left, trying to toss it to Moore strikes me as a losing proposition. I don’t know the truth of the allegations against Moore, but am highly skeptical of he said she said decades ago. I hope Moore wins just to enjoy the outrage of the sjw/msm/dnc axis of evil. Same goes for the Flakes of the gope.

KyndyllG, Dave and “T”:

If women now want men to be more “chivalrous,” women need to be worthy of it.

While not necessarily a direct comment about Franken or Moore, and whether or not they really did as accused, the thing that really disgusts me is that the hard left has spent decades – certainly since the 1990s – encouraging us women to feel empowered by meaningless sex. The “right” to hookups is such that the left cares more about making the rest of us subsidize young stupid democrat females’ recreational sex than the obvious outcomes of them doing so.

As regulars here know, I am a fiscal, small government and law-and-order conservative, rather than a religio-social one. I don’t give one cheek of a rat’s ass about immorality. But I do care about consequences that affect others, and meaningless sex has plenty. For example, there’s a reason that almost half the population has HPV today, and it has nothing to do with safe sex.

But more on point, it’s as if no one considered the logical outcome of telling girls and young women, some 97% of whom prefer their meaningless sex with males, that when you seek out hookups and “friends with benefits”, talk about it with your friends and on social media, carry magazines emblazoned with headlines about getting good sex, and so forth, you’re going to encourage guys to think of you as sex objects and people likely to welcome advances. They overhear the conversations, see the movies and sitcoms. What the F do girls think is going to happen?

In no way am I excusing “rape-rape.” But in the environment of cheap sex that was heavily pushed by the left until, like, a week ago Wednesday, how is anyone even slightly surprised that men everywhere joke about sex, talk about sex, and make hopeful advances? If these things end at “no” then end of story.

The Bush tape clearly shows that Trump was bragging without following through, Trump told Bush he was going to kiss the woman but when the woman approached them he did nothing.

Do you consider it harassment if Mick Jagger in his prime said “I can get any woman to sleep with me and allow me to do anything imaginable to her because I am handsome and famous…” No, because it is him bragging about being able to obtain CONTENT from any woman to fulfill his every sexual demand on her. Trump didn’t say “I am going to grab her p**sy even when she says no” instead he said “Women who approach him all want something from him and are willing to let him do anything to them if he choose to do so, including grabbing her by her *****” the consent was clearly stated.
