Oh stop...basically NO ONE would be able to run for political based on these allegations.

Some of this stuff being complained about is harmless and isn't really harassment.

I'm woman I've been actually harassed.

This witch hunt shyt has got to stop on both sides.

Even Trump's p*ssy comment wasn't harassment.
It doesn't matter how "harmless" YOU may think something is.

ppl perceive things differently, and it doesn't justify this type of behavior.

regardless, this type of behavior is unnecessary and we need to stop any of it, nor shold it be tolerated, ESPECIALLY by ppl elected in to office.

i believe in the complete mental destruction of all birthers, regardless of gender.

and franken deserves this for getting real comfortable around racist birthers. that's that white privilege. a black democratic politician wouldn't allow himself to be doing skits with the enemy like this because his staff would have been like "she's a birther", but to a white man that's "meh, let's just do this."

Some background for you young bloods, I keep forgetting how much context is lost to time. USO shows are these R-rated comedy skit shows that get put on for soldiers in war zones, I think they're a charity. Bob Hope was a goat at it back in the day. Basically, dirty jokes and shyt. They'd bring hotties up on stage; actresses, playboy bunnies, calendar girls, etc. and have them dikktease the soldiers. It's been a while since I saw it, but I think Al Franken's routine was to talk his dikk up and kiss one of the thots, she'd pretend he was trash at it, then she say something like she needed a REAL man, they bring up some random soldier from the crowd and he kisses the girl and everyone hollers like fools :mjlol: Her kissing him sets up the punch line.

Oh, and he groped her from 2 inches away through a kevlar vest huh? :sas2:

if it was so harmless it'd take more than an i'm sorry to solve the issue...

Uncertain grounds
If at the end of the day, all these charges and allegations lead to fundamental change and better vetting of political candidates then we can all be better for it.

But let’s be real here. Ppl making this a political conversation at the expense of the victims truly disgusts me. And I’m looking at everyone in here, more importantly to ppl like trump and others that are using this as some sort of “win” for “their” side.

We need to stop using these situations as points on a scoreboard, and all just come together against ALL the bullshyt like sexual assault/harassment, corruption, etc.

Every time someone chooses a side in these matters based on their political affiliations and not what is just or right, we keep taking steps backward.

Good luck with that
