Kick his sorry butt out. He deserves no fair shake. None.


Technically, I agree. The problem is that I see this as an attack on men, period. This is the logical outcome of the war on men. Since feminism really went into high gear in the seventies, what it has really been is an attack on human sexuality and the sexual roles. We are seeing it in the smearing of gender identification and now in this attack on, basically, what is maleness. The women can do their part, strut their stuff all they want, but heaven help the man that responds in like kind from the male perspective.

I have a real problem with that.

Dump Trump for what? He is recorded as saying that powerful people in Hollywood could grab a woman’s pussy and she would not complain. He was right.

even the old grey floozy wants him gone...

Maybe, maybe not.

This is an op-ed piece, not a Times editorial.

If they want to look back - don’t forget Condit, Scarborough, Kasich, Molanari & Paxon

Al is guilty of being male and white. Being a screamingl liberal is no longer enough. Unless it looked like he’d win next year, of course. Then it’s different.

Let’s not celebrate yet.

This is all part of the plan. They want to elevate charges of sexism with racism. They thought it was equal and would armor Hillary against criticism like Obama was with racism. But using sexism proved not up to the task.

Now, with it elevated to the level of racism they think they can sail Kamala through the next election and beyond with anyone daring to criticize her as being the equivalent of a rapist. They see sexism as alpha male Trump’s Achilles heal. If they have to throw some of their own people under the bus to get there, so be it.

The left always has a long game.

What I am saying is, I personally will never want to “dump Trump.” They let Bill Clinton have his 8 years, and I intend to let Trump have his. They don’t have anything on him as bad as Bill, and that is simply the bottom line for me.

Calling for a woman to be appointed to fill Franken’s Senate seat is pathetic. Is this some goofy liberal idea of atonement or just repeating the mantra that all men, particularly white men, are all sexist, racist homophobes etc.? How about letting the voters of Minnesota decide who should be their Senator? Of course Governor Dayton, a liberal loon, will appoint some other liberal nut case, but the people of Minnesota should push for an immediate special election. How about Pete Hegseth as a GOP candidate?

He won't, end of story.

They want him gone to start again on Moore, but it is too late.

I totally disagree with your statement that this is just “maleness.”

I’ve never behaved like that, nor have any of my male friends.

God forbid if my sister was treated like that, I’d have a real problem with the guy that did that to her!

Me neither. But I’m not rich and powerful.

You’ve heard the phrase, “power corrupts”? We’re seeing it in our headlines. If we really got rid of every lech in public office, we’d end up with mostly women...

...Which is where I think the goal is that this goes.

He should go, and the governor should appoint a woman to fill his seat.

No thank you

Minnesota will just replace him with another woman abuser - a muzzie this time.
