I forgive Al Franken cause he is addicted to groping...I had a bout with that in the 90s I was groping everything and everyone.

He was probably an *** before he groped so doesn't change my opinion of him one bit.

"Franken owned up to that and the kiss, apologized, and the woman who made the accusation accepted that by acknowledging it as a stupid mistake, which says a lot"

do you still feel that same way now after accuser number seven came forward?

probably not and you have a hell of a lot of company...

34 senators was it?

It's a terrible disease. We should really be more understanding of those afflicted instead of stigmatizing them

literally the next sentence. I still wouldn't defend anyone accused of harassment but I thought it was a good example of how the situation could be handled without immediately attacking the accusers for being whorish liars.

It's a big problem in Japan...they grope the hell out of the women then wonder why they die alone surrounded by anime pillows.

All I know is if someone started jerking off into a potted plant in front of me, it's going to be a fistfight.

By not attacking the accusers, yes, that's a good example. Stepping down, also a good example. I didn't jump the gun on anything by pointing out the former.

BTW I'm ecstatic about smoking bans in restaurants. It was easily the worst part about going out when I was a kid. we'd only go out to eat maybe 2-3 times a year so if I was gonna get sick after Sizzler it better have been because the food was slop rather than the table next to me pumping ash towards our table.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

You can smoke in some bars but it is getting hard to find those bars.

The best one was when they got the real Alex Trebeck on there too. " Well, well, two Trebeks. I feel like I'm in a Raisin Bran commercial: "two scoops of fruit". "

Here you're allowed to have smoking in restaurants as long as the area is closed off from non-smoking with separate ventilation, but I don't know if that's common in other places or associated with Nevada gaming laws or health codes or whatever. I'm sure it's cost prohibitive so not a lot of places have it but free markets yada yada yada.

Just like 99% of everything else Trump related, it's only a problem because it hurts people's feels.

The problem here is that some feels (Tumblrinas, Red Pillers, etc.) don't mean a piss in the wind because they're internet whiners and that's all.

The problem with the U.S. acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is that it upsets an already-tottering balance in the Middle East that will further push the more people into extremism that will lead to more violence, and it's entirely unnecessary.

Sometimes you have to do the right thing regardless of how the psychos feel about it.
Im just curious as to why you consider it the “right thing”.
