You never commented on roy moore and now here defend bush who has had more than one woman say same about him as any the others .

What you are suggesting is all old perverts are innocent after the hit 60 ? :200:


Although the bolded state is true in itself, I dont' believe that is what GB is doing. GB, is more like this:

George H. Bush has dementia now, he has no capacity to remember, apologize or defend himself in any way that is credible.
If he did indeed commit sexual misconduct, there is no way to place him under oath anymore. I don't believe either that perverts are innocent after passing a certain age. I just believe that for the allegations on GHB, there is no longer a legal case to be made against someone with dementia which can be remediated through court action.

Franken, on the other hand, has a photograph which may have seemed "funny" for it's day, but in this climate of heightened pent up anger about sexual misconduct, harassment and people wanting to right what was wrong, it's no longer "funny" if it ever could be called that. It looks creepy, like we imagine Bill Cosby would be like to his sedated victims. Like we imagine being alone in a hotel room with Weinstein. Ugh.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I wonder how many women will jump on this "band wagon" as it gets rolling. To the single (and married) men out there, beware of your actions. Maybe stick with manual manipulation and watch your bank account grow for a while. You never know what your future could hold and how much it could cost you.

It shouldnt take someone else getting held accountable for their actions to make a man realize he's responsible for his own.

It's not even remotely the same thing. In the picture there are several people in the room and he's not even touching her. So there is no groping. You can see the shadows under his hands. The photographer said it was staged. This particular situation reeks of a setup.

Im not sure on the fannken pic as jlivee brings up good points on that but the kiss is a problem for al .but gh bush isnt getting accused from a picture theres more than one woman . And who cares on age ?sexual abuse is just that.

After actress Heather Lind accused former President George H. W. Bush of sexual harassment, five other women have since come forward with their own experiences with Bush, all of which involving him groping their buttocks during photo shoots.

They are saying he did it at photoshoots

Doubtful. The sitting President is refusing to face NINETEEN accusers. Even after admitting to the behaviour. And has yet to make a statement on Moore, who was predator of children. I have a 14 year old, what he did was obscene. Yet you refuse to hold them to any moral standard because you put politics first. Hypocrite.

Clinton was wrong and should have resigned. Louis CK is gross and will be punished. Franken took a picture in poor taste as part of a comedy routine. Not even close to the same thing. The kiss is another story and will be thoroughly investigated. He will not, nor should he, lose his career over this. Although, with how he has been hammering the Trump nominees during hearings I understand why they want to get rid of him.

Not really. Not wanting a brainless leftist to be tried for his groping is one thing (kind of like all of the Leftists bent over backwards to try and stop Ted Kennedy from being prosecuted for running away and leaving a young woman to drown in his car), but that's just playing politics. What else is new with the Left, as we all know hypocrisy with them knows no bounds.

This is like hanging with Alan Schoenborn and your kids and wondering why they all get killed by him.
Seriously......what would someone expect from The Hedgehog? And this isn’t victim blaming.....it’s common sense.

What do they expect from making this public? An apology? From a guy who holds the record for appearing in the most porno's.... :biggrin: :up: I’m sure he’ll be right on that.

Another surprise is a porn actress complaining about being touched while at work. I suppose I don’t know what the industry is like. I’m surprised it would only be 2.
