My, my, my - - what a year it has been - - suddenly after the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal, people are coming out of the woodwork to lay claim to 10-20 year old incidents against powerful figures.  Money really does buy power and now it seems that this power has fallen like a deck of cards.   Whether these people (and possibly hundreds more which we may know in the coming weeks) are actually guilty of innocent - - one things is clear that sexual harassment is NEVER permitted in or out of the workplace, is unacceptable in any form - - no matter how innocent or large it is - - whether it happened once or over a few years - - and creates a hostile environment to not only the victim but other co-workers at work or friends at a public function - - those who are aware of this sickening condition.

Just tell that to President Donald Trump - who himself should have been accused of sexual harassment  - who still supports a suspected pedophile -  Roy Moore





But he has a lot to say about Liberal Al Franken


Moreover, while Franken recently resigned, Trump continues to back that pedohpile who is running in Alabama against a liberal named Doug Jones.   Yes liberals like Jones are bad - - but Trump really has nothing to say about  John Kelly - - a retired U.S. Marine Colonel who is a write-in ballot - - at least he has guts to take on the swamp from both sides, and unless any allegations surface (I hope not) then Kelly would be a fine choice over a pedohile or a liberal.

Meanwhile not a lot Democrats have initially called Franken to resign either as they supported him during a Congress ethics investigation.     I wonder how much in politics does it take to have accusers sleep with their cohorts in government before they finally call out for the boot. 


One thing is sure - - Tuesday's special election in Alabama for Jeff Session's former Senate seat is sure going to be dirty right down to the wire.   And dirtier than porn.
