9. Do we really think that a woman would never make up a charge of sexual abuse or assault?

Talk to some family and divorce lawyers sometime. Ask them if it happens. Do we think there are no conservative women who would grossly exaggerate an ambiguous or even non existent event to bring down a liberal politician if they were promised financial support and legal funding by anonymous Republican donors? Or if they were just hungry for a little attention? Because they know they will be worshipped by Trump zombies.

Those things happen and people will lie for money and attention. And the fucking Republicans are not above promoting it. Ask Bill Clinton. While I believe he was a total cad to women, I also believe his accusers were well compensated and at least some of them were making it up, exaggerating or leaving out key details.

I am sick of this self immolation by the Democratic party. These allegations on Franken don't have a tenth of the odiousness of Moore and Trump's behavior and they seem to be almost forgotten in the urgency to "purify" our party. Franken may be guilty but I am doubting most of the stories now.

Ban me. Mute this post if you have to. But we need to emphasize what the differences between the allegations about Trump, Moore and Franken are and wait for Franken's ethics commission before we throw him to the wolves.

But of course, we won't.
