I know, that is the biggest issue right now
I think that a lot of these current ones are probably are guilty, but what's to stop people from just contacting news outlets and saying "Obama groped me" and then they run with the story
I really think people should be filing police reports and not posting on twitter
-
curious about what happened to innocence until proven guilty?
No one is being incarcerated without a trial over these allegations, so innocent until proven guilty is still in play.

Well yeah, except in the eyes of their employer.
Generally, the only limitations for a private employer firing someone (non-union) is if the termination is based on the employee's race, gender, national origin, disability, religion or age (so long as the employee is at least 40 years old).
Just about everything else is fair game, so long as it's not retaliatory for whistle blowing, but even then, good luck getting your job back.
And most of these have gone through a human resources review, which is just about all the employer needs.

Does sexual harassment happen as much among non-celebrities as it seems to happen among celebrities? Honestly, I'm kind of shocked by all if this. I thought only rude, coarse, low-life construction worker type men acted like this. How naive I was.

Its not about men but power.....people with power use it to get what they want no matter how inappropriate and illegal...
Also America's obsession with money does not help. It is all about making $....People exploit and take advantage of this sad reality...

Yes, that's the joke.

I think he's defending the serial gropers. Apparently groping women is de rigeur in his native Latin America.
"For women it’s particularly important to keep your wits as much as possible. In the huge clubs and notorious pick-up joints of Buenos Aires — some of the Irish bars of the Retiro neighborhood jump to mind — women may receive unwanted random groping from young men who can’t handle their alcohol. "

Your point being that Franken is less bad than Weinstein because groping at least eight women during photo ops is less bad than using your position of power to coerce more than 40 women to have sex with you (and possibly raping a couple who refused the coercion). Yes, we simple-minded Americans get the distinction. But that distinction matters little because a sexual predator is still a sexual predator.

Actually, the distinction does matter when we as a society mete out punishment for the guilty parties. Only a simpleton would think Moore should be in a better position at this point than Franken.

That's why there are different levels of felonies and misdemeanors.

I'm not saying it's not disgusting and not a crime, but when lumping in someone who takes racy photos or grabs an ass/breast vs. pedophile and rape, yeah, it's a pretty big difference.
-
I'm agreeing with you. First degree murder is not the same as involuntary manslaughter. I wish people would distinguish, because Roy Moore is by far a way bigger piece of shit than Al Franken. That being said, both are pieces of shit nonetheless.
-
Ha ha Al Franken is a sexual predator???
When you equate him with Moore or Weinstein you really show you do not know what you are talking about.
-
Neither one should take a leadership role in this country, and neither should be in a position of power. One of them more neither than the other.
-

Franken's not a sexual predator? The number of women who have claimed he groped them or more is currently at eight and has been growing in recent days.
So what is your threshold for what qualifies as sexual predation?
-
I felt about a week ago that he needed to and should resign but part of the reason is the sheer idiocy of the American people - as we see on this thread- with people calling someone who one could better classify as somewhat lecherous as a sexual predator...
Grabbing an ass cheek is tantamount to rape? Wow
I fucking hate to think of all the men out there who have asked for a blow job using every reason they could think of to get one from an unwilling partner
And calling Al Franken a "piece of shit"? Wow. He definitely exhibited inappropriate behavior assuming the accounts are true as I have to think they are..but that is about it and you have to take a life in totality..
-
Out on this thread..total waste of time..you have your scalp..feel superior now as you call him a sexual predator and piece of shit.
-
Nobody is equating grabbing an ass cheek with rape, so lose the strawman.
That being said, one ass grabbing is a lapse of judgment. Eight instances over a decade is a pattern. Is this less bad than rape? Sure. Manslaughter is less bad than first degree murder, but both are homicides. Sorry you foreigners can't grasp the nuances.
-
Just want to remind people that while we do not have a living breathing moderator body that has the testicular fortitude to ban the scourge on our community that is Hutch, we do have the block feature. Be the change you want to see in the world. I’ve been hutch free for months and it’s wonderful.

It sounds like Hutch's wife won't give him a blow job.
Offer her a nice massage or scratch her back while you're having a Netflix night.

Since we're drawing distinctions, technically, Moore is possibly a rapist, but not a pedophile. Still, far, far worse than what Franken did, imo. Not that I'm excusing Franken for his atrocious behavior.
Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

Are you trying to say I am a groper and by extension so are my friends because I think that while what Al Franken did is wrong and he should have resigned he should not be lumped in with Moore and Weinstein?

Nope, not at all.
And I'm pretty sure i was someone who actually (somewhat) agreed with you in terms of the Franken vs. Moore/Weinstein distinction.
It would jsut be helpful to say "Reporter Ryan Lizza." I didn't know who Tom Ashbrook was, either. But I know he's an NPR guy thanks to GGW prefacing the name with the job title. I wonder if he's a friend of Relaxer?

The reality is that probably a sizeable* of the world's heterosexual have done something untoward a woman (straight, bi, trans, etc.)
At least 3 times a week, sometimes every workday, I have some asshole(s) beeping at me, hanging out of their vehicle yelling something obscene or flat out driving along the side of me trying to get my attention as I walk the 10 minutes from the metro to the office (I work in the suburbs and commute out from DC.)
The best this year? Some creepy fuck stranger pulled into the parking lot and go out of the car and walked in with me to the building, got on the elevator (open building unfortunately), tried to make small talk regarding Tom Petty's passing, and then decided to attempt to ask me out. All in the span of about 4 minutes. At 8.24 am on a Tuesday.
Now, my experiences do not compare at all with men or women who were victims of any sort of unwanted/unconsented physical/sexual activity. But it is a good example of every day harassment. And if these assholes are doing this, who knows what else they are doing.
*edited because the value I provided prior is arbitrary with no data to back it up.

Men are pigs, yes . . . but what I find fascinating, is that, in the gay world, these types of overly sexual advances and acting like aggressive testosterone assholes, are the qualities from men they want.

As someone who is basically quiet and shy, I personally would never have been that bold in my single days, but what exactly is so egregious and "creepy" about the behavior I bolded? It's certainly not sexual harassment. Is it possible the guy worked in the building and just happened to be pulling into his work parking lot and was taking the elevator to his workplace at 8:24am and was making small talk with a pretty woman he saw on the elevator? Are we going to make it a crime to ask someone you find attractive out?

That's a fair question and one that I actually got when I was relaying this event to a male colleague.
This individual did not work in my building and had no business in the building. I was able to ascertain that very quickly when I sussed him out with a quick question to confirm this. In fact he told me he had seen me prior, presumably as he was driving down the street, and this time decided to quickly pull into the lot, park and jump out of his car to follow me when I was on the approach into the building and then hop the elevator with me.
I will add that he told me that he was riding with me to my floor to try to talk to me after the doors closed and I had no way to escape as the other floor was secured for another client and thus I could not exit until it hit my floor to which I hauled ass to my office and it's camera and locked door.
That creeped me out.
Does that help give more context?

All in the span of about 4 minutes. At 8.24 am on a Tuesday.
Now, my experiences do not compare at all with men or women who were victims of any sort of unwanted/unconsented physical/sexual activity. But it is a good example of every day harassment. And if these assholes are doing this, who knows what else they are doing.
As someone who is basically quiet and shy, I personally would never have been that bold in my single days, but what exactly is so egregious and "creepy" about the behavior I bolded? It's certainly not sexual harassment. Is it possible the guy worked in the building and just happened to be pulling into his work parking lot and was taking the elevator to his workplace at 8:24am and was making small talk with a pretty woman he saw on the elevator? Are we going to make it a crime to ask someone you find attractive out?

It was improper of me to throw out that unsubstantiated 3/4 figure. I'll own that and correct that.
That said, you are correct, "untoward" has many meanings and can vary depending on the setting. And further to that, one person may consider the action harassment and another does not.
I'd just like to have an entire week where I walk to the office and it's entirely uneventful. That's my request to Santa this year.
The reality is that probably at least 3/4 of the world's heterosexual have done something untoward a woman (straight, bi, trans, etc.)
Depends how you define "untoward" I guess.
-
That's a fair question and one that I actually got when I was relaying this event to a male colleague.
This individual did not work in my building and had no business in the building. I was able to ascertain that very quickly when I sussed him out with a quick question to confirm this. In fact he told me he had seen me prior, presumably as he was driving down the street, and this time decided to quickly pull into the lot, park and jump out of his car to follow me when I was on the approach into the building and then hop the elevator with me.
I will add that he told me that he was riding with me to my floor to try to talk to me after the doors closed and I had no way to escape as the other floor was secured for another client and thus I could not exit until it hit my floor to which I hauled ass to my office and it's camera and locked door.
That creeped me out.
Does that help give more context?
The reality is that probably at least 3/4 of the world's heterosexual have done something untoward a woman (straight, bi, trans, etc.)
At least 3 times a week, sometimes every workday, I have some asshole(s) beeping at me, hanging out of their vehicle yelling something obscene or flat out driving along the side of me trying to get my attention as I walk the 10 minutes from the metro to the office (I work in the suburbs and commute out from DC.)

I can't answer those questions but she did say she's "with Catherine Deneuve" and that women to some degree need to let "men be men as long as they're not doing any raping and if not James Franco, at least maybe my (sick as a dog for the past week) husband would hit on me."
Which I guess means if I don't get killed at the Cracker show tonight, I guess I should be a little flirty even if I feel like shit.

You'd have to read her account to fully understand the nebulous and controversial nature of this allegation fully.
Her account has (1) Aziz stopping when she says stop, (2) Aziz offering and getting her transportation when she requested to leave, and (3) no mention of her ever saying she did not want to engage in oral sex. Her account also features her texting Aziz the next day and saying (paraphrase) "after thinking about it, I did not want to have oral sex and despite me not saying that and going along you should've intuited that from my body language" after which Aziz expressed shock and regret over this. Her account also spends an inordinate amount of time on Aziz pouring her a glass of red wine without first asking her if she'd prefer white wine.
For the record, I think Aziz Ansari is a totally talentless individual who is annoying and would work at a Burger King if he were Caucasian. I also think he is probably a sleezeball sexually.

Thanks,
I agree that he is pretty talentless. I disagree and say that he would be working in IT somewhere if he were Caucasian. Though maybe he is not that smart. I have no idea how he is sexually though I would not want to have sex with him. Not that all Indian or Pakistani guys are unfunny or unsexy. I think Kal Penn is funny, Naveen Andrews is sexy, and the guy from the Big Sick is the perfect combination of both.
But anyway, enough of what I think. The one question that for me remains unanswered is who gave oral sex to who? Did he give it to her? Did she give it to him? Did they give it to each other? If he was the receiver, why didn't he offer to reciprocate? If that is the case, if I were a woman and a guy did that to me, I'd be pretty pissed too.

He performed oral sex on her and then asked her to reciprocate which she did "but not for long" before she said she didn't want to and he said "cool, its only fun if its fun for both of us."
Then he did a lot of super-pervy, not romantic, horny 18 year old stuff like asking "where do you want me to fuck you" and making a V with his fingers and licking them until she asked to leave at which point he called her a car.

I mean, if she consented to receiving oral, and was into it to the point of getting an orgasm, and he didn't force her to do anything else, what is she complaining about? How old is this woman?

She is complaining about his extremely boorish behavior including getting a mirror out of the bedroom and positioning it so she could see him pantomine rear-entry sex while asking "where do you want me to fuck you" and kissing her "aggressively."
How old is this woman?
23 or 24.
-
He's a douche.
Agreed. The kerfuffle seems to be many people think his behavior rises to the level of rape/sexual assault and others think its just terrible, boorish, douchey (non-criminal) sex.

For such an ugly guy, he sure is a cocky, confident SOB. Not that such boorish behavior is acceptable from handsome dudes either.
-

Agreed. The kerfuffle seems to be many people think his behavior rises to the level of rape/sexual assault and others think its just terrible, boorish, douchey (non-criminal) sex.
based on my understanding of the kerfuffle, you seem to have missed the point. to be fair, the point here is that women and men view things very differently, in large part due to cultural norms and expectations (aka upbringing). so men saying "i don't get what these women are complaining about" is almost to be expected, since they're men and not women.
the #metoo movement pointed out how women, even powerful hollywood leading women, can be subjected to sexual harassment and assault; and society has covered for these men.
a step below this, but still on the spectrum of inequality of the sexes, is how women are treated in new sexual relationships - again, due to cultural norms and expectations (aka upbringing). the message in the ansari case isn't that he committed a crime. he didn't. the message is that women don't have the same leeway in skipping out of an awkward sexual situation (for men to simple-mindedly say "well why didn't she leave?" is showing your privilege and lack of empathy). hell, even what constitutes "bad sex" isn't nearly the same (http://theweek.com/articles/749978/female-price-male-pleasure) for men and women. here's another good read (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/aziz-ansari-sex-violating-but-not-criminal_us_5a5e445de4b0106b7f65b346?z) on the subject. please read through those two links for a better explanation.
-
I generally like Andrew Sullivan, but how is he in any position to comment on male/female sexual relations?
-
the message in the ansari case isn't that he committed a crime. he didn't.
The message in the initial expose is very much that he committed a crime.
the message is that women don't have the same leeway in skipping out of an awkward sexual situation (for men to simple-mindedly say "well why didn't she leave?" is showing your privilege and lack of empathy).
Agreed. But this specific woman in her specific accounting of events had absolute leeway to skip out of this awkward sexual situation. She is not without agency.

When I was living in NC in my late 20's, a female friend set me up on a blind date with her sister's roommate. I think maybe the connection was that we were both into alt-country. And maybe she thought we were a match physically. Anyway, at some point we made it to her place, and she asked me if I had ever her of Whiskeytown, her ex-boyfriend was the lead singer. I said no, and she played part of Faithless Street for me. Anyway, we didn't hit it off (playing your ex-boyfriend's band's album for your date is probably a sign), we both saw each other out once more but then both moved out of state and never saw each other again (I heard she married and had a couple of kids and is actually friends with another musician that I'm as long time fan of.) Anyway, first time I heard Ryan Adams.
The other story took place when I was in my early 20's. I briefly dated an aspiring musician who told me the tale of when she was 14, she met a rocker who was quite famous at the time and ended up having what seems like a Ryan-Ava type relationship (she even had pictures of them together so totally believable.) Anyway, I guess the moral of the store is Ryan is not the first creeper in the rock world.

To be fair, Bryan Adams is superior to Ryan Adams in every way.

I think he is going to rename some of the song titles

Lucky Now -> Lucky Then
Call me on your way back home -> Call my lawyer if you want a statement
When The Stars Go Blue -> When the stars cry #metoo
Do You Still Love Me? -> Do You Still Love Me?
-
I think he will eventually try to make a comeback...,I mean I don’t see him having any other career option and he can’t live off of royalties....or streaming revenues
I just never found his music any good....I don’t understand what people like about him...terrible live...and all over the map musically...he is in my mind a fake...one year doing the Smiths...the next Grateful Dead...etc.... but there must be something as many of my friends with otherwise unimpeachable taste love him
-
quantity was always a problem with him
and I agree close to 75% of the times I saw him live sucked
but those other shows were awesome
he is a whiny ass bitch and that grew tiresome
His early output with Whiskeytown and Heartbreaker IMO are fantastic
I think Gold has some pretty standout moments too
but after that...never really peaked again
I did like cold roses and that tour tho
not that this is indicator of talent or good product
but I'm a little surprised he got nominated for two grammys in 2015

I’m not team Biden — Julian For The Future For Life — but neither this, nor the first allegation really constitutes groping in the way anyone uses that term. Rubbing noses and kissing someone on the back of the head, while weird and patriarchal and inappropriate, needs to be delineated from . . . well, virtually every other entry in this thread.

“It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head,” Amy Lappos, 43, told the Hartford Courant on Monday of her encounter with Biden at a Greenwich, Connecticut, event. “He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”
What are we constituting as "groping" these days?

Something that specifically doesn't start with the accuser/victim feeling the need to state for the record as the first thing out of their mouth, "it wasn't sexual," but that's just me.
-
Is she saying it ultimately wasn't sexual, but only after he didn't kiss her on the mouth? Or that even if she thought the kiss was coming, it wasn't sexual?

I'm not sure how the Left is going to deal with this problem of throwing the baby out with the bathwater
but we need to be able to draw a line between weinstein and biden...it's insanity to think they are almost the same thing
look at what else this woman said
“If Biden truly supports women and gender equality he would step aside and support one of the many talented and qualified women running,” she added. “The same goes for the other men who have thrown their hat in the ring. Women are 52 percent of the population. We are not a minority, we are the majority. It is time we are represented as such. After 45 male presidents it is time we elect a woman.”
So she says it's not sexual ...but really just wants to take out the white men
little disingenious
I also think this narative is being pushed hard by operatives on the Right and the media is just eating it up
how are we going to stop eating our own on the way to 2020
-

I'm curious on YOUR opinion on this...you posted here like it was a legitimate accusation of groping...fanning the flames

To be fair, I agree with absolutely all of that with the exception of the premise that any man who runs for the Presidency isn't a TRUE SUPPORTER of gender equality. That's cuckoo bananas.

I mean, is William London from Doubt a groper?
EXT. THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE - MORNING
Sister Aloysius is looking through the window, down on the student populace. Her eyes narrow.
BACK TO SISTER JAMES
William takes a step towards her.
WILLIAM Sister, are we having the test today?
SISTER JAMES Tomorrow, William.
WILLIAM Is it long division?
SISTER JAMES Among other things.
Sister James turns away to greet another nun and William grabs her arm to ask her another question.
SISTER JAMES Good morning, Sister.
William touches her sleeve.
WILLIAM How much of it will be long division?
SISTER ALOYSIUS (O.S.) Boy!
THE WHOLE SCHOOL STOPS AND LOOKS UP
Sister Aloysius looks down on the courtyard from the balcony outside her office.
SISTER ALOYSIUS William London. Come up here! Come smartly now.
Pale and alone, William walks up the stairs.
SISTER ALOYSIUS Don’t make me wait.
FATHER FLYNN AND SISTER JAMES WATCH FROM BELOW As two of the girls confer.
ALICE (O.S.) What did he do?
SARAH (O.S.) He touched Sister James.
Flynn confides to Sister James.
FLYNN The dragon is hungry!
Sister James blushes with pleasure at the attention, stifles a giggle. The noise resumes.
SARAH (O.S.) You don’t touch a nun.
There has to be some difference between inappropriately touching someone for sexual reasons and incidental (for lack of a better word) inappropriate touching of someone. If I pat Sidehatch on the shoulder out of friendship without getting his consent first, should I be disqualified from holding public office? There is a giant chasm between incidental, non-sexual contact -- which can still be quite inappropriate and "problematic," for sure -- and the actual criminal sexual assaults that make up this thread.

This is the weirdest mindset to me. It's a primary...shouldn't we weed out the bad stuff now? I mean, every knew Biden was a creep...shouldn't we deal with that kind of shit now rather than sweeping it under a rug for later? Make these folks answer for bad votes and explain why they did it, and if they've changed since then, make them show the work.
Also, LOL at Biden stans.

but this is not an issue that he should drop out for
everyone knew he was famous for gaffs....creep ...come on man.
worst offense is he's a huger ...how is that offensive really

Wasn't that part of his meme persona? Just being a creepy old guy that was overly handsy with women? The Onion even had some articles on the topic.

I don't think he's not a sex creep in the way Trump obviously is; probably just a guy that has outdated ideas on what's acceptable. I think his response has been pretty shitty (like, just say sorry! it's ok!) for sure. But I don't have a lot of stake in Biden from a policy standpoint, so I kind of don't give a shit either way.
That said, if I found out that someone his age did that to my wife and it made her uncomfortable in the way described, I'd be pretty fucking pissed.

I don't know man, it sounds like you're blaming the wrong people here.
Biden has a very long history of touching women inappropriately. Has he bragged about sexual assault or rape like Trump? No. But he uses his power and position to gratify himself by constantly getting handsy with women. Yes, there's a meme out now of him giving a big hug to another man, as if this exonerates him. But he's not nuzzling and kissing a man's neck. He's not pulling men and rubbing noses with them. The guy is a fucking creep and I don't want him representing the Democratic party even if he could maybe beat Trump. And let's not forget, dude's record of presidential campaigns is dismal. He is not the future of the party, and he shouldn't be. He needs to go away.

It’s funny when Hillary was running all I heard from other democrats and young people was negative shit about Hillary...I canvassed for her...doubt any of these did...but now they are up in arms about everything Trump does...these same people were convinced Trump would quit, be impeached or whatever...

Butt, is not from the coast states, or texas. He comes from an area where the median income is basically lower middle class people, who need someone in dc to finally listen to them. He, was in the military. That right there, will be his shield against so much b.s slinging. He's a minority . . . who is white. He's not grandpa.
But, his biggest weakness will be women who want to see a woman in the White House. Women who are tired of voting for men, no matter who they are or what they represent.

Repeatedly telling a spokesperson for a D.C. councilmember how he thought she looked in a dress. Sending suggestive, late-night messages to young colleagues. Inviting a news assistant to a networking event, only to bring her to one-on-one drinks and ask her to come home with him. Looking women up and down “like a cartoon wolf” in the workplace. Telling a transportation expert at professional drinks that “I want to f*ck you, no strings attached.”

Color me shocked that the guy that called a reporter a "bitch that totally wants to fuck me" on stage is now being accused of sexual harassment. Shocked, I say.

I am reading a two volume biography of Sinatra and about 1954 Sinatra seems to have had an affair with Natalie Wood who was 15. She was just getting started in Hollywood, Sinatra had recently won the Oscar, and Natalie’s mother thought it would be good for her daughter’s career to hang out with Frank who would have been 38.
According to the book Sinatra and Wood were occasionally together until her death. Of course Natalie’s husband, Robert Wagner, and believed by many to have killed Natalie, was a Sinatra friend.
My mom was always agog about Rita Hayworth, Grace Kelly and Natalie Wood.

Heylin has written a book something like Day by Day which tracks where he was and what he was doing…I read it many years ago when I was pretty obsessed but not sure I kept my copy… so he does know this stuff even if he is a crashing bore

1965 was Bob Dylan’s busiest year. He released multiple albums, cut a ton of songs at sessions (there’s like a 20 cd box set of these), toured a lot including internationally, made a movie and was dating, and about to marry his future wife and together have their first child. All this happened in 1965. He was burning the candle at both ends.

Donald Trump's super PAC has severed ties with Republican operative Corey Lewandowski following reports that a donor accused the former Trump campaign manager of making unwanted sexual advances toward her last weekend.
"He will no longer be associated with Trump World"
(since when has trumpworld been anti-groper?!?!? kinda late to the party... i guess it kicks in when something even more valuable and central to their values is at stake: money)

Come on dude this is different
Groping a major Trump donor!
He can’t work for the PAC if he is sexually harassing the big donors
He obviously had to go
Now if he had groped a pizza delivery driver pretty sure he would not have had to go…just would have denied it etc

Pretty sure all of Lewandowski's sexual advances are unwanted, so how to differentiate....

Ugh I think the people running the PAC know exactly how to differentiate: do they write us big checks?

I don’t even know what barstool sports is…. Is it gambling? Buffalo wings?
on the surface, it's a digital media company that centers its content on sports, gambling, and toxic masculinity. they run a bzillion blogs and produce videos about either sports or T&A (often both). it's where misogynistic meatheads get their content.
the article has a good analysis of its place in society: "Perpetually tan and bearded, Portnoy has built a half-a-billion-dollar digital-media empire off of sports gambling, crude humor, and barely clothed women. Barstool Sports — whose slogan is "By The Common Man, For The Common Man" — does for digital media what Donald Trump did for politics. It speaks to the masses: no pretension, no highfalutin language, and, notably, no apologies. The company says it reaches an estimated 54 million monthly unique visitors. In 2020, Barstool was valued at $450 million; Portnoy has an estimated net worth of $100 million."

the man is a predator. he uses his wealth and status to intimidate and silence the ladies. being a douche king does not give you an excuse to abuse women. taping the girls during sex, knowing that they won't/can't object, is absolutely reprehensible if not criminal. the man is slime. there is a hell of a lot more than "hurt feelings" going there.

i hear ya. if this was one accuser, then i'm with ya. but when a bunch of women come forth (not an easy thing to do, especially with this douche who has an online army), AND it fits a pattern, i'm admittedly pretty quick to believe the accusers.
Portnoy didn't force some IG sloooot to get on a flight, go accross the country, and stay at his home.
that still didn't give him permission to abuse these women. what's next - the way in which she was dressed was just asking for it?
per the stories, there was a (criminal?) lack of consent. he taped sex acts without asking. he did extreme kinky shit (choking, spitting, etc.) with a first time partner (essentially a stranger) without talking about it first. ladies said stop, he didn't (aka rape).
agreed that he has not yet been convicted in a court of law. considering the likelihood of abusers getting jail time for their actions, i think that sometimes we need to get ahead of this type of behavior. if dude gets a bad reputation as his likely only punishment... well, let's hit him with something.

In the world of the troglodytes who read Barstool, a bad reputation only makes him "more awesome." This is like "cancelling" Dave Chapelle -- guys, it only makes him more money.

Nationwide manhunt underway for former MTV star who allegedly tried to have sexual encounter with a teenager (https://news.yahoo.com/nationwide-manhunt-underway-former-mtv-194950440.html)
A warrant for Connor N. Smith, a former cast member of MTV's dating show "Are You The One?" has been issued in Lake County, Illinois.
The 32-year-old man is wanted on three felony charges, including grooming, disseminating harmful material and traveling to meet a minor.
(...)
This is not the first time Smith has been accused of inappropriate behavior with a minor. He was arrested in 2021 and charged with rape, sexual battery and two counts of criminal confinement, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. According to The Times of Northwest Indiana, the charges were dropped in Sept. 2022.

Oct surprise…….
Trump groped a minor at one of his donor dinners — and there is video.
Although, the internet….I have yet to see

It would be a surprise if these things didn’t come out now….

i want to see that video come out as much as the next trump-hater, but i fear it isn't going to change a damn thing. anyone who is going to vote for trump is comfortable with trump's sexism, misogyny, and assaults. it's been baked in since "i just grab 'em by the pussy" failed to move the needle.
truly pathetic: trump apologists, Elmo included, got #KamalaGropedMe trending yesterday in xitter in retaliation for anyone daring to accuse their orange jeebus of... anything (damn the evidence). talk about cope.
-
I actually think all this stuff hurts Kamala more than Trump. She needs to focus on making the argument why people should vote for her and not why people should vote against Trump. She has left it far too late though with 30 million people already voting (almost 20%). She needs media focus on her and what she intends to do not on Trump.

i want to see that video come out as much as the next trump-hater, but i fear it isn't going to change a damn thing. anyone who is going to vote for trump is comfortable with trump's sexism, misogyny, and assaults. it's been baked in since "i just grab 'em by the pussy" failed to move the needle.
truly pathetic: trump apologists, Elmo included, got #KamalaGropedMe trending yesterday in xitter in retaliation for anyone daring to accuse their orange jeebus of... anything (damn the evidence). talk about cope.
I just wish it would affect a measly 2% of MAGA, because that would be more than enough to put Harris over the top.
Would it?
In the right swing state districts… it sure would
In Texas… she’d still lose by 6points
