Trump is 100% correct in this based on our justice system and culture. He absolutely knows that some people are very guilty of sexual abuse and some are very innocent. His tweet will resonate with common sense Americans and also shine a spot light on evidence against certain individuals where evidence is being concealed.

Can we call it " Seacresting"?

tl;dr - a stylist that worked with Seacrest a decade ago tried to blackmail him for $15M with a #MeToo that was backed up with no evidence other than they worked together from 2007-2010. E! did an investigation (through an outside agency) and found nothing.

No its not. Compare the evidence between Franken and this wife beater that Trump supports.



I don't think Franken should have been forced to resign.

I only enjoy that he did resign because the left built this absurd construct whereby accusation = guilt.

It's hard for me to feel bad for you when the pit bull you trained bites you.

You ignore pictures of busted eyes, restraining orders, and testimony from at least 3 women, call it he said/she said, yet Franken holding his open hands over a woman's tits while smiling at the camera is shameful evidence.

You're a great example of wanting due process only for people you favor politically.

Both sides kind of act ridiculous over this and overreact. Dems immediately believe the women and demonize the accused. Reps question the women and rush to the defense of the men.

Reps shamed the Dems to send any money Weinstein donated to them over the years, but refuse to hold themselves to the same standard with Wynn's money.

It's the hypocrisy that was laughed at, not the #metoo allegation.

I'm not ignoring shite! Franken was defended until the very end, and if not for Gillibrand he likely never resigns. He even waited to see if the heat would die down. He had to be forced out under public pressure - from factions of his own party.

You are triggered because Trump fired the accused staffer (not senator- staffer) before you even knew who he was, then made a statement about due process.

His sentiment is right but due process applies to the court of law not the court of public opinion.

And if accusations are false, then the accused can always take action against their accusers.

Perhaps but the entire paradigm around sex harassment and "believing" women is a liberal construct. Anyone trying to debate that is out of their fricking mind.

I've been talking about this shite for YEARS! Well before Trump was even a political twinkle in people's eyes.

But, when the left foisted that bull shite on college campuses and conservatives blanched.........we were called sexist.

When they foisted an absurd standard on the military and conservatives blanched, we were called sexist.

So, now the completely predictable has happened. The rabid pitbull doesn't care who he bites.

Well, I'm just not going to have much sympathy for the folks who thought it was all fricking good as long as a bunch of Joe Nobody's were being railroaded.

Nearly impossible.

Unless you can prove you were 5000 miles away when the accusation supposedly took place, the best you can ever hope to accomplish is showing that they can't prove their allegation.

You'll never be able to PROVE they lied.

ShortyRob is correct. Trump's tweet will resonate with every sane person and will trigger every leftwing lunatic. CNN will have to make a difficult decision on this one.

And hell. While in the Army, I straight up PROVED a woman lied and she ADMITTED lying about one of my troops 3+ months into an investigation.

When talk of punishing her came up, fricking officers blinked and advocates argued that punishing her would "discourage women from coming forward".

WHEN IT WAS PROVEN SHE LIED!! frickING PROVEN!

So yeah. Every congress critter who got behind that witch hunt can fricking pound sand as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah? He's still never had due process. You know, the concept Trump is championing (rightly so).

The WH knew about these allegations for months and only fired him when pictures came up.

If he didn't do it, he shouldn't have resigned. Same goes for Franken or anybody else. Trump is right. So am I. You've proven it.
