You don't have to go back that far. It wasn't too long ago when a white girl had to holler "rape" and the posse came to hang him high. One would think we learned, but today's social media mob finds them guilty on hearsay and sayso just like in the day.
Did I always think along those lines? Yes. Fairness and rule of law is something I treasure. Not only have I been falsely accused (in a non sexual matter) and know how it feels, I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt unless guilt is proven or the person admits.
When Bubba was first accused of having an affair with Monica, my first thought was it to be a matter between him and his wife. I actually believed him when he denied "having sex with that woman". I listened to Hillary, thought she made some good arguments. It was only later, when we all found out that both of them were lying through their teeth, that I dug a bit deeper and started paying more attention to MY president ( I voted for him, yes). Having followed them for all those years, I have to wonder how anyone can keep making excuses for him, for her, for anyone who surrounded them and covered up for them. That includes ambitious bitches like Gillibrand and others who advance their (political) careers by looking the other way. Kennedy, Kennedy,Clinton, Weinstein, Conyers, Franken, perhaps Moore, and however many more we don't know of yet, none of them can cheat, lie, harass...without others knowing about it, hushing it up or helping them along the way.
In Weinstein's case, some of the women are victims, but I have no doubt that just as many helped their careers willingly while holding their noses. They have to do some soul searching and ask themselves what is more important, their dignity or their million dollar gigs. They are just as responsible for letting this swine run amok as are others who profited for looking away.
Which tells me there is more to this than the democrat party suddenly finding religion on this issue. They are playing long ball. Look for them to resurrect their War on Women battles. Every interview by every left wing media type will ask every republican if they will disavow Trump and Moore
It is so obvious.
Mark this post as another prediction that will inevitably come true
Will my prediction be confirmed or will those who say my predictions are bad be correct?
Even though I was attacked for saying it would happen, Al Franken resigned today.
We don’t allow sexual harassers to represent our party, Much less child abusers.
Should he now be arrested?
what for?
For sexual harassment, rape, assault or any other charge they can throw at him.
For the same accusation as Cosby, Nelly, Tupac, Tyson and a host of other Black men who have been accused and then arrested of similar accusation from less women.
Even though I was attacked for saying it would happen, Al Franken resigned today.

And who has abused children and represents either party?
The DEEP STATE?
What does your question, have to do with mine?

You didn't make any prediction. You were parroting news reports.
BTW he didn't actually resign did he? He said he was going to in the coming weeks. Why wait?
But, But... But DEEP STATE!
Ill say the same thing I have said about Roy Moore, he should be given a fair evaluation considering the facts... How old was the accuser? How many accusers?
The people of his state should evaluate those facts and vote accordingly.
So far, the facts against Franken are not, in my opinion, as serious, numerous or backed up as well as those against Moore.
Look closely, the photograph does not actually show him touching her. I agree it looks bad for Franken, especially backed up by her story, just as it looks even worse for Roy Moore considering One of his six alleged victims was 14. Also Franken has apologized, Roy Moore, after six or eight victims have come forward still denies it.
I would ask, is that photo part of a comedy skit? Was out Franken traveling with these people as a senator or comedian? Who took that photo? It appears when he tried to kiss her they were acting out a comedy skit that she had agreed to.
It’s clear to me that she is not really asleep and he is not really touching her, that doesn’t make it OK, but don’t exaggerate your point.
Based on her story and the article, I would call that assault.

I thought it would be an interesting exercise to pull some of GayRod's quotes immediately after Franken faced the first accusation. I will let you make your own judgement. I have made mine![]()
