The photograph gives her story tremendous credibility. No way Franken can deny it.

Time for a truth commission. I wouldn't have put my twenty bucks on Franken in the sexual-harassment pool, but I'm not surprised.

I predict the page count of the Roy Moore thread will spike.

As far as I can tell, the majority of liberals in r/politics on Reddit (which is practically all of them) are actually calling for his resignation. The post has 89% upvotes, and a ton of people are saying things like (paraphrasing) "This really hurts, but we need to hold him to the same standard we expect from conservatives! He should resign." and "The good thing about liberals is that we stand by our morals, and want to see this sort of thing brought forward, while conservatives only pay lip service to morality."

I'm only just now beginning to see people walking this back a bit because they found out that the girl who got kissed worked with Fox News, and is friends with Sean Hannity or something, and others are just now beginning to point out that there's a significant difference between pretending to grope a woman's breasts as a bad joke, and actually having sex with minors.

So, yeah, people are complicated.

Just out of curiosity, do they think that Moore actually "had sex with minors"?

I suspect they'll avoid the thread unless they are goaded into making an appearance.

Yeah, I believe so.
