Senator Al Franken Kissed and Groped Me Without My Consent, And There’s Nothing Funny

[quadraginta]

Did your child publicly call out your abuse?

Give him time.

I used shame in relation to Casebro's post I was quoting. "And is the history of the pic that she had the only copy? Sounds like self-humiliation for her to release it." TBH I don't understand either where self-humiliation plays into it. And she does not have anything to be ashamed about.

Fair enough.

But others earlier have indicated this picture was somehow shameful. Hoping someone can explain it in small words so I can understand.

 

[Belz...]

I still don't get ... what is she ashamed about ?

No idea. But if I claim that a picture was taken to shame me, and I'm the only one showing the picture to people, on the internet, I think people might be correct to question my accusations that it was taken to shame me. Maybe they're wrong, but it does sound odd to me.

This thread is icky

Virtue signalling at its finest.

That's such a liberal thing to say!

 

[phunk]

If they clear him of what, exactly?

If I took a picture like that with an unwilling coworker, I'd get the sack for sure.

What about if a picture like that surfaced, of you and an unwilling coworker at a different job a couple decades ago? Should your current employer fire you?

How convienent, when you've been asked to provide evidence supporting the false equivalency you've been foisting here. There was nothing unreasonable about that request. There is No Good Reason to duck it. (When In Rome...)

I "assume" she didn't do it before because before #metoo she was quite rightfully concerned that she would be slut shamed like she was in this thread.

If we are making assumptions: maybe she just recently became thirsty.

That indeed is an assumption too.

 

[Dr. Keith]

Yes, I made that clear in my post. Am I not allowed to play along?

 

[snoop_doxie]

Great. What isn't an assumption?

Dr. Keith said "maybe".
It would be an assumption without the "maybe".

 

[The Big Dog]

Of course you are so entitled, you just made an assumption.

and like the slut shaming we saw earlier, that does not mean that allegation is not true.

Okay

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Did your child publicly call out your abuse?

That’s irrelevant to my point, which had to do with your contention:

I assume that a person either takes sexual assault seriously, or else they pose pretending to sexually assault an unwilling coworker for a fun gag, but probably not both.

Hiliting mine.

In a statement Friday, KABC said a “very small group” of employees discussed the best day for host Leeann Tweeden to come forward with her account of being forcibly kissed and groped by Franken in 2006.

The station says it informed “some of our news partners so they could prepare to cover what we knew was a very significant story."

 

[Dr. Keith]

Of course you are so entitled, you just made an assumption.

Right, following your assumption. Both assumptions. One thirsty, one not.

Although, I've been told thirsty can be observed. But, I haven't seen any of the public appearances so I have nothing to a gauge that by. Has anyone seen thirsty behavior?

 

[The Big Dog]

Okay

Okay. Her allegation that Franken is handsy scoundrel is absolutely true

I did not make the assumption that she was thirsty. You just did.

Are you walking back that assumption? That is fine.
