I read recently that congress has spent $15,000,000 in the recent past on payments to cover sexual harassment cases? They haven't prosecuted or sanctioned one rep. What's going on?

It shows you how far each party will go to hide the truth from the public. One of the primary issues that will not be talked about is the influence political parties and their interests have on the victims. If you are working for one of the parties and you come out your career is over. Its power like this that makes me want government to be as small as possible.

Looks like we got an update on class rankings in America. We knew women outrank all men, that is unless the abuser is a liberal in a vulnerable senate seat. Then the bitches turn on each other. uproxx.com/news/snl-women-al-franken-letter-support/What happened to believe all accusers? So, female teachers outrank kids, lib politicians outrank women. What if a female teacher sexually abused a liberal male senator? Who would win the victim crown?

I don't get how Frankenstein can not step down... there's been multiple other politicians step down with much less evidence against them. Why is this guy immune?

The balance of power is in play so the hypocrisy gets deep. Franken would normally be forced out but instead he has support by the rank and file Dems so they don't lose more senate seats. Once again the Democratic Halo is tarnished.

Once again the Democratic Halo is tarnished. Remember, it's everyone in DC, not just the left. What I love is that the women in power are throwing the victim women under the bus, getting away with it, and will still own the women's vote in the next election. "The agenda, above all else..." ...even if that means we have to feed a few thousand women to the most disgusting molesters and rapists on the planet.

Once again the Democratic Halo is tarnished. Wouldn't Dayton appoint a democrat as Franken's replacement? I could see if the governor was a republican where it might be an issue. I don't have honk that's an issue in this case. It's the do as a day not as I do approach that seems to work well for our congress for both republican and democrats. They are above the people that voted them in.

They are above the people that voted them in. Yep, Dayton would put in another Democrat but Franken should get what he deserves. The political system should not protect him and average citizen should see him for what he is and ask him to resign. The same with Conyor and Moore. The big picture I see is the two parties (politicians) do not represent the people and the current system needs to go. Everywhere you turn government (state, local and Federal) protects itself for the benefit of government not the people. I saw on CBS news yesterday that Senators can negotiate and settle sexual claims with staffers without reporting it. Staffers are paid with our taxes and none of it is published to the public. The only way it gets reported is if the staffer goes public. The people should not have to keep such a close eye on its elected officials but based on politicians corruption it has to.

As part of the deal congress made in 1995,all of the sexual harassment cases are paid for with our money and kept confidential. And nobody is prosecuted or loses their jobs or pensions. Hard to beat that.

Some comments on public radio are going back to Slick Willy’s escapades in office.

My wife and I were talking this morning. Any bets on how long before one of the cougars gets hit for sexual harassment? Or is it all ready been covered up? She says no woman gets that far without abuse of power.

She says no woman gets that far without abuse of power. Nobody will cover it. It doesn't fit any media narrative. I'm sure it's happening and it's extremely creepy given they're not perceived as potential perps.
