    It's ok to grab when you have consent.

    Only because one troll deliberately derailed the thread by bringing partisanship into the mix. If one troll is taking a stupid argument not based in reality, then counterexamples such as Roy Moore and Donald Trump are fair game.

    Absolutely. Because his supporters refuse to hold him accountable for it. And we're going to keep mentioning it until it is acknowledged.

    We liberals on here have condemned Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, Al Franken, and even Bill Clinton. I have no problem stating that I think Bill Clinton was a creep and sexual harasser. His legacy is tarnished as a result.

    We can believe dozens of women who speak out against Cosby, Weinstein, etc. - but we are supposed to pretend that every single one of Trump's accusers is lying- including his own wife before she retracted it?

    Truly pathetic and disgusting.

    That's the difference between normal human beings and Trump fans.

    So, you're saying that you believe all 18 of Trump's accusers are lying? And you dismiss his comments as "locker room talk?"

    Good to know.

    How would you suggest his supporter's hold him accountable for the sexual assualt charges that he is currently facing? Won't this Mueller investigation take care of everthing you are hoping for?

    Woody Allen is the most difficult one for me. I consider him, overall, the best screenwriter of all time, and I put at least 5 of his movies in my all-time list- Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Matchpoint, Another Woman, and Sleeper.

    But he has this very creepy overtone of very old men getting together with younger women in his films. Heck, Manhattan alone depicts a 42 year-old man dating a 17 year-old girl. Doesn't matter if 17 was legal in 1979- that's just wrong. And it makes it difficult to watch that film again.

    But I can't be a hypocrite- I have to listen to what Dylan Farrow said.

    Sucks.

    lol at you guys trying to change the subject.

    Franken = clear smoking gun
    Trump accusers = no proof? Other than Trump's locker room boasting caught on the hidden mic?

    How about calling him out? How about condemning him, which they should have done in the first place? How about not dismissing his comments as "locker room talk"? All my friends who are Trump supporters have made every bullshit excuse in the world for him, and it's wrong. And yes, I've called out Bill Clinton for his actions (and believe me, they all jumped on that), but nary a word about Trump.

    Mueller is investigating Trump's sexual harassment accusations? Don't you think the women accusing him deserve to have justice served?

    Thank you for clearing that up. It is good to know that you consider 18 separate accusers to be lying. We have already said that Franken should resign. There is zero debate about that. But, again, good to know where you stand. We kind of expected it from you, but it's good to have this to refer back to.

    Oh, and how embarrassing for you that you have to refer to it as "locker room boasting." What a morally upstanding guy you are.

    Where are the charges? As much investigating that Trump goes through, where are the charges? Is he paying off the local DAs?

    If he actually groped her while she was sleeping, yuck ... he should resign. Otherwise, apologize for the mock-groping and move on.

    Everyone should just imagine what this clown's reaction would be if a video surfaced of Obama bragging about how he goes up to women and grabs them by their genitals.

    The sheep out in force, "but... Trump.. Trump... Trump...," in every ******* non-Trump thread. This forum is a joke.

    btw... Franken's apology (like CKs) was on point. And Tweeden accepted so I'm happy for her. I'll leave whatever happens to his career in the hands of others but it's about damned time men respect women.
