No strong feelings about her, but this is poygnint.

What a lying, hypocritical tramp.

Patrick, you're not going to be happy until Leann Tweeden is tarred and feathered and dragged through the streets are you?

If it had just been the Tweeden claims, even with the photograph, Franken likely could have shrugged them off and gotten on with his Senate career. It's the seven additional claims, none by Tweeden, that eventually did him in.

And, before you go there, I still hold that Franken's future as a Senator was a matter for the Minnesota voters to decide, not the SJW mob.

Linkerdome? "Two links enter, one link leaves!"

Meanwhile, the antisocial media strikes. It is one thing to be caught with your hand in the cookie jar. It is quite another to be caught while having cookie crumbs on your face.

Several experts questioned whether the practice is in keeping with the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, which prohibits bias against people 40 or older in hiring or employment. Many jurisdictions make it a crime to “aid” or “abet” age discrimination, a provision that could apply to companies like Facebook that distribute job ads.

“It’s blatantly unlawful,” said Debra Katz, a Washington employment lawyer who represents victims of discrimination.

Truth be told, I only shared that link just to get a rise out of you and Crid. Crid didn't bite this time, but you did. So, thanks.

And I absolutely do think Franken should be gone. I would have preferred the voters of Minnesota to have come to their senses, but I'll take his removal any way I can get it.

The reason is, because, since the Obama administration, possibly even earlier, liberals became not only lost respect for the rights of due process, but (at least when it comes to allegations of sexual assault or rape) openly contemptuous of it. As if there was some magical spell cast over the entire earth that somehow made it impossible for any human being to lie about this particular set of crimes, unlike every other type of crime we could possibly commit.

Obama with his nonsensical Title IX, ruining the lives of innocent college men who probably hadn't done anything wrong (other than fail to get a written contact with the women they slept with, signing away their right to retroactively withdraw consent), started this mess.

Hillary threatened to continue this bullshit, with her assurance to soi-disant rape victims that they had the right to be believed. As we all know, there is no right to be believed. And if Hillary was talking just in terms of society, as opposed to a court of law, who the fuck is she to tell us what we have to believe?

No, I am not obligated to believe anyone who comes forward with an evidence-free accusation. And that these are people I'd never even heard of prior to their public accusation makes it all the more ridiculous.

So, if being hoisted on their own petards is what it takes to make these sanctimonious jackasses like Franken come to their senses and realize, "Yeah, the Framers of the Constitution really did know what they were talking about when they demanded due process," then more power to it. Let's get some more of the libtards out. Personally, I would have preferred to have gotten Obama himself out, since it seems he will receive no punishment whatsoever for the lives he's ruined with Title IX, but Franken did insist that we had to believe these women who come forward.

And I don't believe a single one of Franken's accusers. Or Moore's. Or Trump's. And Hillary's impressions to the contrary, I have the right not to believe them. Come bother me when you have some evidence against these people. Not before.

But if nothing else, I think I've made my case for Leeann Tweeden's lying, hypocritical trampdom. That she is a liar, at least when it comes to men whose sexual advances she rebuffed, is established with the link I provided. That she is a hypocrite is also beyond dispute. She pretends to object so vehemently to being groped without her consent, but nonconsensual groping is her modus operandi at these USO shows.

Yes, Conan, I realize your chivalrous attitude demands that we assume consent. I disagree. Unless she asked and got consent in advance, she did not have consent. No, it is not implicit, and no, you cannot reasonably infer that everyone knew what was going on and approved or at least tolerated it, nor can you infer that by mere participation in a USO show where Leeann Tweeden of the wandering hands, lips and buttocks is performing means you consent to being fondled.

Ironically, the only accusation I made about her that carries any doubt at all is "tramp." The term might be a subjective judgment, but lacking a bedcount of the men she's slept with, how many of these affairs, if any, overlapped, or how many men she's cheated on, I really don't know if she's a tramp. While her incessant groping is disgusting and obnoxious (not to mention illegal), it doesn't really prove that she's slept around.

But again, that depends on how you define "tramp."

What to do about art produced by people who turn out to be not very nice people?

As “Pervnado” extends to more and more of Hollywood, and as more and more past authors are discovered to either have committed real crimes, as Greyland’s parents did, or have simply run afoul of the left’s latest PC censors, there stands a good chance that a fair amount of pop culture history will be tossed into Orwell’s proverbial Memory Hole, as that’s always the left’s first instincts.

You think this is a rise? You need to get out more.

"I'm afraid you've misjudged me."

I harbor no chivalrous instincts toward Ms. Tweeden. Quite the opposite as a matter of fact.

I'm merely challenging your neo-Puritan judgement of any woman who displays any sign of sexuality as a "tramp." Cleavage-baring dresses must send you into apoplexy.

I had wondered why this wasn't dismissed with prejudice, but I see that is still on the table. Keep in mind that people like these federales want to provide you health care.

On the November day when the trial of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy was supposed to start in Las Vegas, I met a man outside the courtroom named Doug Knowles. A Bundy supporter who had been covering the proceedings for a conservative website, Knowles confidently assured me, “This case is never going to get to a jury.”

I thought he was overly optimistic. After all, on its face, the government’s case seems like a slam dunk.

...

Barely a month later, though, Knowles’ prediction seems prescient. The government’s case against Bundy, his sons Ammon and Ryan, and Montana militiaman Ryan Payne over their participation in the armed standoff near Bundy’s ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada, is in shambles.

A passenger on a flight from Houston to Washington D.C. has accused United Airlines of giving her first-class seat to U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. D-Houston, and then threatening to remove her from the plane for complaining and snapping a photo of the Houston congresswoman.

Here's an actual tramp. I love this bit:

But he had a change of heart when he learned that the teacher — after having sex with the boy’s 19-year-old friend — reportedly said her former student “had ruined her life.”

“He decided to no longer lie for her,” documents filed in support of a search warrant state.

He was loyal right up until she wasn't.

Merry Christmas to everyone, even Trump haters! Love, peace, and prosperity to you and your families.

Snoopy: Merry Christmas to everyone, even Trump haters!

I don't know Trump personally, although based on his public persona, I'd be hard-pressed to find more a more loathsome individual.

Nonetheless, I voted for him. As repulsive as he is, he's still a better choice than the alternative. Hillary would have flung open our borders to allow Middle Easterners to turn the U.S. into the hell they're inflicting on Europe. To say nothing of how she would perpetuate and aggravate the division sown by Obama.

Over the centuries, many composers have built beautiful music around the chant "O Magnum Mysterium." Here is a Twentieth Century version by American composer Robert Shaw.

Merry Christmas to Our Gracious Hostess, and everyone in AdviceGoddessLand, from the newcomers to the old hands (you know who you are)!

Merry Christmas to all!

> your neo-Puritan judgement

That, Patrick.

It's not 1934; this is not the dust bowl. You are not, we have patiently presumed heretofore, a toothless, illiterate grandmother from the prairie in a gingham dress, overwhelmed by the pulsing eroticism of lipstick on the women strolling into the Bijou during your visit to town on a Saturday night.

If you affirm that your appreciation of sexual nature is only that sophisticated...

Well, at this point, we're ready to believe you.
