Groping and kissing a stranger while asleep is damn near rape, what the hell. Didn't read, but how did she find out this happened?
Also it's legal in Latveria and the island on LOST to grope reporters for any open ended wonderers out there.

You have the same name as my uncle who recently passed away. NOt a name i see too oftenJust received my card in the mail from the EU's rollout of their latest initiative for people with disabilities. Eventually the program will presumably be expanded to far more than the initial 8 participating member states, though it's also very beneficial for me in my own country of course. The EU disability card grants discounts and benefits solely in the area of culture, sports, leisure events and companies/organizations participate strictly on a voluntary basis. But many companies are participating in it, at least where I live. I can now display this card and get discounts at the movie theater, museums, concerts, cultural events, tickets to watch a soccer match, ...
It is also eligible for 5 years rather than the 2 years of eligibility you get from Belgium's federal agency of social security if your application for disability statute is approved. A disabled person here has to renew their statute every 2 years since the initial approval. Whereas this card says it's eligible for 5 years and does not specificy anything about national disability statute expiring during those 5 years.
So technically, if I were to hopefully not be disabled anymore when my current statute expires, I assume I could still use this card for several years after. I find it strange the EU or Belgium didn't seem to take that into account and made it eligible for 2 or maybe 3 years rather than 5.

Time to get Al Franken the hell out of here,not the first time he's proved to be a disappointment for progressives but this is next level scumbaggery
Dems and Republicans with these kinds of skeletons in their closets need to step down imo,can't make this a partisan issue.
Dudes need to come out before they get exposed cause everything's gonna be coming to light eventyally in this day and age...
Its one of the reasons Biden running in 3 years might not be the best look

What other baggage out of curiosity? I don't know much about him beyond his term as a senator and that he used to be on SNL.
Either way I find that picture perhaps most disgusting out of everything in that article. I'd be pretty heated if I saw a picture like that if that was my mom for example. The woman and her husband have every right to slam him for that. Based on this article I agree he should resign. That kind of behavior doesn't belong in any congress.

Yup he should step down
However, Roy Moore and Trump should step down too for the same behavior
Bet none of them will though

He didn't kiss her while she was asleep. They were rehearsaling a skit backstage and the woman claimed Franken demanded they practice the kiss and when they did he grabbed the back of her neck and put his tongue in her mouth.
Then she claims he acted petty in the rest of the trip, and when she was looking through pics snapped of the trip sent to her, she saw the pic of Franken and her asleep.
Unlike other instances involving sexual harassment, there seems to be a ton of witnesses.

Trump judicial nominee defended ‘first KKK’ in online arguments: report
I believe it's safe to say that things like judicial nominations are one of the biggest reasons to vote, whether on the left or right. The Trump voters are likely celebrating these kind of nominations to the judicial branch.

While I agree with this,why is the executive branch not held to the same standard??
Seeing certain Cons pivoting from defending Moore to being outraged with Franklin has been quite something

I am saying step down and have an election.Yup he should step down
However, Roy Moore and Trump should step down too for the same behavior
Bet none of them will though
Franken's seat is safe blue, if it was one the GOP could steal with a governor appointment, the I would say investigation to get to the bottom of this, then step down. To run out the clock a lil.
I am tired of playing by rules that the GOP don't even respect in order for them to inflict harm on anyone that it not rich, white and male.
Franken might have to get out the paint, but voters need to decide his replacement.

Spelled the same way? It's relatively common here. The name comes from Jewish origin. Ironically I don't hear my actual name all that much, most people only refer to me by my nickname Void, as strange as that may sound.You have the same name as my uncle who recently passed away. NOt a name i see too often
I imagine it's very uncommon in places like the US etc. since most English speakers I've met can't pronounce my name due to the pronunciation 'ch' sound.

Franken is disputing the details of the accusation. If this turns out to be a he said she said, there should probably be a investigation first.
But it seems all road lead to one destination anyway.

spelled the same way. He was a german who came here in the early 60s. To all the americans who knew him he was just Jim. People here had a hard time with that name, i heard many different iterations of it over the years.Spelled the same way? It's relatively common here. The name comes from Jewish origin.
