This whole sexual harassment stuff is serious in cases like Roy Moore. He needs to shut it down and back out. Al Franken can shut his mouth now too. The down side to this is anything and everything can be viewed as harassment now it seems. Are you going to be able to tell someone they look good now? Is this going to actually hurt women being hired in the workplace now for fear any little thing can be used against You? It's a tough situation.

Roy Moore has verbal accusations against him. He say, she says.

This woman has pictures incriminating Al Franken!

All of which Dems have been yelling at Moore about, should be applied to Franken 10 fold!

Where's the media Party on this,,,,,silent!

Was thinking exact same thing there are going to be some claims that aren't true because everyone is believing everything now. And I m not saying any of these aren't true. But there will be case.
Pretty soon it will be breaking news to hear exactly which man in politics hasn't been sleezy

Makes you wonder what's going on here in Canada, are men less horny, women less interesting, are we all stoned too much to care, are women slow to come forward? Seems unlike the imaginary border would cause sexual harassment to end.

This Democrat Senator is a product of Hollywood and SNL so this is not a surprise.
The picture of him groping the young lady is disturbing and he should be thrown in jail.

Pretty soon all the Hollywood award shows will have to be cancelled or at least relocated to a further distance from schools due to all the perverted freaks.

It also appears some in the media are now finally turning on Bill Clinton and reviewing some of the **** allegations against him now that Hillary is looking like her political career is dead.

The sad thing is if Hillary was president none of the allegations against Bill would ever be touched by MSM....just now that the Clinton policital run is over is the reason why it might be covered by media.

[the big wheel]

So your saying it's only democrats????

Jeepers many if not most have been dirty old white republicans including the president.

It's too serious a problem to be partisan about.

There will be some here in saskatxhewan I m sure.

[danny W1M]

The scrutiny Bill Clinton is now facing for some in the liberal media is multi-purposed.

1) Liberal media attacking Bubba(not important any more), keeps pressure on Moore(senate seat very important).

2) Democrats need to get rid of Hillary, she won't leave the stage, they don't want to be seen as attacking her directly, so attack Bill, and get rid of them both.

3) Getting rid of Hillary also gets the Democrat Presidential Primary vote rigging off the table too.

4) It also gets rid of the scandal(now sounds like Sessions will investigate) regarding Uranium 1 and other pay for play re Clinton Charities/Slush fund. Dems would rather Clintons take the fall, and keep Democrats away from it.

5) The long play is to try and attack Trump again for his words, maybe for the next presidential race.

Republicans are going to impeach trump when all the women and girls he's molested come out or they will be slaughtered. Lol

Hillary is old news. Who cares she s not in it anymore. The uranium thing was approved by republicans. So??? It's really all a deflection from the fact of near impeachment coming it s not if it's when. And when he's out the sex things will come out even more. He s already paid off half a dozen women to shut up.

I d sure like to go to his university to get as smart as he is. Hahahaha wait it's bankrupt. Hahahahaha

Do only high profile people have allegations of sexual abuse made against them?

As long as men have testicles..... learn to control or curb the urge.

How many women in power used their position to "satisfy their itch"....is it manly to come forward and claim "unwanted sexual advances"? I bet it happens.

[seldomseen]

Men in power seem to have a hard time behaving. In Canada who knows but I wouldn't expect any scandals in Harpers background but then I wouldn't have expected any in John Diefenbaker background either.

[danny W1M]

wheelie, "There will be some here in saskatxhewan I m sure."

You mean like the NDPer ! ???

BTW, who are you using your member vote on wheelie, Trent or Ryan?

[danny W1M]

High profile people and men in power often have money to go with it. They'll pay off accusers whether something wrong was done or not. It's called "hush money" and has been around forever. The accusers may have thought it was a nice bundle of money, to the payer, it was a drop in the bucket.
Also you have to remember now, that young female college students(for the last 10 yrs or so) have been told that even if they consent the night before to sex,,,, the next morning,,,, if they don't feel good about what happened, they can then make a sexual assault accusation. Anyone with college aged boys should know this.

This is not a partisan issue.

The only reason we are hearing more about it is more women are coming forward because they feel more comfortable talking about it after Harvey Weinstein.

Sexual harassment and assault is a wide spread problem. It happens everywhere and most women experience it in some form. Most incidents are not reported. Some men report it too.

Remember Graham James the hockey coach, convicted sex offender. He abused Theron Fleury and Sheldon Kennedy and likely others.

Lots of organizations like the catholic church, boys scouts, and the military have harbored sexual offenders and resisted change and action.

Trump, Clinton.....there will be more and more high profile cases especially in high profile things like politics, entertainment, sports.

Behavior and attitudes need to change.

[the big wheel]

Trent or Ryan who???? Is that the new Sk party boys replacing your bad news billy and weeping Wally. Hahaha
