Al Franken accused of sexual harassment

Anyone wanna tell me how to change my Username RIP

PM Dave Leip. He can change it for you. No guarantee when he'll respond, although he has been relatively active the past week.

Maybe an email instead of forum PM would have greater chances of being noticed?

I prefer to wait for a full moon, put 20 candles in a circle and say Dave Leip backwards three times.

And now a third accusation

Yea I don't know about this one. Huffington herself said it was not inappropriate, and iirc, part of some skit they were doing. Although I could have that mixed up either way since I only skimmed the article at the Dr's office, but either way she said herself that it was nothing.

I crossed out accusation because she didn't accuse anyone. It was more like a news article trying to invent one.

I don't get how in every other industry anyone accused of this same type of misconduct either gets fired or loses all of the projects they're working on. Why don't we hold politicians to the same standard? He should resign... It's embarrassing for Minnesotans and democrats.

He isn't up for reelection until 2020 and only he can choose to resign, which doesn't appear to be something he wants to do right now. The Senate could expel him, but for various reasons I'm not sure Democrats want to do that. At least not without cover from a ethics investigation or something.
