I've read that Keanu Reeves does hover hands when posing for a photo next to a woman. Seems like a good idea to me
Kind of. Franken had become the victim of the purity culture Democrats have embraced, esp. in aftermath of #metoo. Franken himself was saying that women should always be believed when they make sexual allegations.No bar moved. It's.Just.Not.A.Problem.When.Republicans.Do.It.
The Boebert grope was mutual and consensual. And what has MTG done again?You can't really complain about scumbags like Boebert, Gaetz, MTG etc.
That first one ("trailer parks") seems classist as well as borderline racist.Trailer parks, jails, and rehab resorts are full of people who would steal from a blind beggar, pimp out their sister, or perform in Congress about the same as the scumbags.
What does Putin have to do with this anyway?What's ineffably sad are the millions of Americans so brainwashed by Putin, QAnon and Tucker Carlson that they vote for these scumbags.
Or even better be extra safe and embrace the Mike Pence model?I've read that Keanu Reeves does hover hands when posing for a photo next to a woman. Seems like a good idea to me
And the whole thing was posed by AF for a photograph. Whereas Lauren Boebert and her drag-queen supporting date didn't know they were being filmed during their mutually-consented-to handsyness. Skeezy Al, if you ask me. Trashy Lauren and Co.Well, not really. They're really two different things. Presumably, the sexual touching between LB and her bf was consensual.* With Al Franken, there was no sexual touching, but it could be argued that it was a case of sexual harrassment (even though she was sleeping). Also, IIRC AF was still on official Senator duty on the plane, whereas LB was "off duty" as a Rep at the theater. As a minimum, it was certainly juvenile and unbecoming of a US Senator which is really why I think he was pushed out. Even though I'm not an Al Franken fan, I thought his punishment was over the top, and an apology would have been sufficient.I remember Democratic Senator Al Franken losing his seat after PRETENDING to honk a sleeping girl’s boobs, so yeah, it appears that the bar has been moved.
* Though some would say that words to the effect of, "Do I have your permission to grab your boob?" are necessary for it to be consensual, followed by, "Yes, you do. Can I grab your dick?" I wonder if there is audio we can check to see all that was on the up-and-up?

The photo was from 2006, Franken wasn't elected until 2008. He was there as part of the USO tour, as was the woman.
But I do agree these are completely different things. LB's was consensual, and I have no issue with that part of it really, other than the multiple layers of hypocrisy. The vaping, singing, and flash photography are reasons to kick her out.
Putin? that raging homophobe who likes to show off non-photoshopped photos featuring his muscly man-boobsKind of. Franken had become the victim of the purity culture Democrats have embraced, esp. in aftermath of #metoo. Franken himself was saying that women should always be believed when they make sexual allegations.No bar moved. It's.Just.Not.A.Problem.When.Republicans.Do.It.
Remember that it was his fellow Democrats, led by Kirsten Gillebrand, who drummed him out of the Senate, not Republicans.

Not "does." DIDWhat does
Vladimir Vladimirovich? Trump's handler? What does he have to do with verb tenses?Putin
Have? What about the have-nots?have
to do with
this
Do? Do WHAT with WHAT? Any WAY at all?? That's a new charge; have you witnesses?anyway?
That's ok. Any logic or coherent thought in your post eludes me too.Derec is driven by some sense of logic that eludes me.
- This is a thread about Franken. Boebert already has her own thread.When discussing the alleged sleaziness of Franken we apparently aren't supposed to mention sleaziness of anyone in the Ilk Derec supports unless the charges against the QOPAnon sleazebag are the same as the charges against Franken.
No, he didn't. He merely mimed grabbing boobs during a comedy tour.Franken grabbed boobs?
He is a complete derail in this thread about Al Franken.What does Putin have to do with the hypocrisy and dysfunction in the QOPAnon Party?
I am sure there are Russian troll farms. What is the relevance to this thread?Derec -- You're behind in your reading assignments if you can't answer that yourself. Or are you one of the Twitterers that considers the Russian troll farms discredited because Donnie Junior never went to jail?
No, that would be you. You can hardly mention her without the reference to her prior profession. I usually just call her AOC.You can hardly mention AOC without calling her, irrelevantly, a "bar-girl"
I merely asked what she has supposed to have done to make your list.but when I give MTG as an example of scumbag, you rush to her defense!
I dislike her politics and conspiracy theories. A bit much to call her a "scumbag" though. Esp. since this thread is about Franken.Maybe you agree she is a scumbag, but think this thread is a "safe zone" just for calling Democrats scummy.
You mentioned him in this thread. A thread that has zero to do with either him or Trump.Vladimir Vladimirovich? Trump's handler? What does he have to do with verb tenses?
There is already a thread on her. Why are you derailing this thread?Please don't describe Ms. Boebert's bedroom antics!
