Can we stop (absent actual evidence) asserting that the accusers have been bribed by Republicans?

1. REMEMBER AL FRANKEN.........IT WAS A PHOTO......UGH.....

[LizBeth]

[LizBeth]

18. Yes, 6 yr old boy, a grown man. Point and all anyone said.

2. Well the bank account could show an increase or a new car in the driveway maybe? nt

[brooklynite]

10. You have evidence of that?

[Dream Girl]

4. Two things can be true at the same time.

Some of these women definitely are bribed. I wouldn’t be falling all of myself to believe them.

5. a tip for the gents

NEVER say anything at work to a woman you would not say to a man

[Phoenix61]

8. Excellent way to put it. nt

12. I don't know

some of the crap they say to each other (even in front of others) is grounds for harassment too.

[Skittles]

14. meh

I grew up with five brothers and served in the military - most of that stuff just makes me laugh

[Kali]

15. agree

but one needs to be aware of audience, and at work can be real problematic

[Skittles]

16. sound advice

I've always been able to tell which guys are intentionally trying to make women feel uncomfortable and those who are just being stupid, but either way it's not a good way to behave at work.

6. Blaming it on the perception of what you did rather than what you did

Is a classic non-apology. He comes across as being so very sorry that you don’t accept his actions and that you actually hold him accountable.

7. Not sure what to think about

The Cuomo thing. I guess just wait and see.

[Laelth]

9. I don't know.

The fact that the accusations are probably true DOES NOT mean that the accusers were not paid by Republicans to advance the accusations.

17. So Cuomo is innocent until proven guilty and the women are guilty until proven innocent?

[Kali]
