She says that Franken admitted his harassment but Trump hasn't, so we should only investigate Franken. So all of those people out there that have may have committed a crime should just say they didn't do it and we should not investigate them. Makes sense to Huckabee, how about you?

Investigate Trump for what he’s done while an elected representative of the people. There’s hardly a congressman on The Hill who could pass such an investigation into his pre-election conduct. They are all cocksmen.

Your link to quote is where....?
 
The question is, what is there to investigate? Franken was 'exposed'...he admitted to it, and barring any other new revelations, life goes on. Frankly...I think the bruhaha about the photo is a bit overblown. The forced kissing...thats one thing. The other...thats just juvenile humor. I could post a doze picks of celebrity women gawking at leering at and even grabbing other womens breasts. It happens. I am relatively certain Franken was being 'funny'. Inappropriately funny. Irreverently funny.

On the other hand, the allegations against Trump are he said she said. Unless someone has evidence, there is nothing to investigate there either. There is no evidence a crime occurred. So...again...what is to investigate? Hell...didnt one of the ladies even say she at first thought she got bumped by a camera bag and didnt think anything of it but later she was just SURE it was Trump bumping into her.

The Moore situation...there is evidence. It should be examined. I think from what I have seen, the yearbook signature is a fraud. BUT...to me...that doesnt really matter. To me...the whole thing comes down to day one. Several women said he dated them when they were 16 but he was a perfect gentleman. 1 said he grabbed her...and she was 14 at the time. Nothing to go on there. Case closed. BUT...Roy Moore denied it ALL. Now...take away the 14 year olds claims...you still have him denying dating 16 year olds, even though they said he was a gentleman. Even if he didnt do anything 'wrong' or inappropriate with them, he said he never dated ANY of them. If its shown that he did, that to me is enough to destroy his credibility.

So the only men who should ever be investigated are those who admit to something. Yeah. That sure makes sense.

Maggie, you've already made it clear: you place not "destroying" the life of an accused, even if it as guilty accused, over destroying the life of accusers and over having utter scumbags occupy positions of power that can affect you.

Why defend Trump if you don't care about anything but that?





But enough about your position, why on Earth and/or in this universe does it NOT matter what people did before getting elected? I promise you, I can come up with a list of things you absolutely would agree mattered if they were done before election (being a murderer, selling heroin, selling heroin to kids, bribing Putin to damage Republicans, raping 6-month-olds while drowning puppies, etc etc etc.). So you need to explain why you think multiple sexual assaults doesn't matter.

I understand why you think it's hard to disprove an allegation now, but I don't understand why you think that's different from if this happened three years ago, or one year. They're all he-said/she-saids. And since Trump's accusers are generally people he interacted with non-privately, it's not like he's lost out on some Alibi opportunity.

If you have the "want to take him down" angle, then why on Earth would all of these women suddenly decide to lie against him if he was innocent? If he didn't do anything to them, if he was as nice to him as he says or if he had nothing to do with him he says (there are a lot of them, hence the generality), then WHY on earth would they simultaneously decide to take him down?

Why? At least give a motive for the alleged lying.





Well, anyway,

- "They are all cocksmen" is quite obviously false. It's only certain people who are

- I do not recall such a vigorous defense of "Hollywood Liberals" or "liberal lamestream media" Mark Halperin. Will I find an equally vigorous defense of them by you?

- The idea of defending Trump because of a (false) allegation that ALL of them are utter pieces of **** seems insane to me. Shouldn't we not have pieces of ****? You know, the kind of person Trump said that he wasn't?

- Remember anything about "draining the swamp"? Why don't you want to drain the swamp? Why is the swamp suddenly not worth worrying about if all the swamp creatures do it....? It's logically incoherent and incontinent.









At some point, you need to just fess up and say "I do not give a **** what the person I voted for did full stop."

If you don't care then say it. Fine. There's nothing to debate because any debate would be entirely personal. I'd say that was horrible, crappy, and dead wrong, but then it wouldn't matter if you were literally just saying it's your personal opinion.





But if you want to suggest that other people should agree, you need to do some careful thinking and 'splainin.

While I disagree with your premise that only behavior after elections should count, I need to point out that Franken's transgression also occurred prior to his election to office.
(By also, I mean along with Trump's various transgressions)

She may want to reevaluate her statement. Tump did admit to grabbing women by the *****.

And Trump going after Franken, but silent on Moore, wtf. It couldn't be more obvious that he doesn't give a **** about the people making allegations.
