Photos Surface of Disgraced Sen. Al Franken Grabbing Arianna Huffington’s Breast and Butt
The New York Post received two separate photographs of disgraced Senator Al Franken (D-MN) appearing to grope Arianna Huffington’s butt and breast during a photo shoot in 2000.
A source at the shoot told the Post, “Franken was clowning around, but it really isn’t funny. That’s his tactic,” the source added, “pretend like it’s all a big joke.”

The Post’s source further claims that Franken’s groping made the former media mogul uncomfortable. “Arianna was pushing his hands away. He was groping her. There was some fun attached to it, but she wasn’t enjoying it. She definitely told him to stop and pushed him away.”

She actually looks like she's enjoying it...

You see gentlemen ?
The ugly truth is coming out (or at least part of it), and this is the tip of the iceberg.
Abuse is more common than people men think.

Arianna Huffington denies Franken behaved inappropriately in response to new photos

“The notion that there was anything inappropriate in this photo shoot is truly absurd,” the co-founder of the Huffington Post said in a statement to Page Six, which ran the story under the headline "Newly surfaced pics show Al Franken grabbing Arianna Huffington’s breasts and butt."
The pics of Huffington and Franken come amid allegations that he groped women inappropriately in the past, including at least once after becoming a senator.

Huffington said the photos were meant to recreate a TV sketch she did with Franken in 1996.

“Al and I did a comedic sketch for Bill Maher’s ‘Politically Incorrect’ called ‘Strange Bedfellows,’ in which the whole point, as the name makes clear, was that we were doing political commentary from bed. This shoot was looking back at the sketch, and we were obviously hamming it up for comedic effect," Huffington wrote.

“I’ve been great friends with Al and his wife Franni for over 20 years and there has never been anything remotely inappropriate in our interactions,” she continued.

Arianna Huffington Hid Sexual Harassment at Huff Post

According to Gizmodo, media mogul Arianna Huffington may be a hypocrite when it comes to her stance on sexual harassment in the workplace. Based on first hand accounts from former employees, Gizmodo says that Huffington has a "well documented history of fostering a toxic work culture."

Reports claim that Huffington masked the exploits of a Huff Post managing editor, who allegedly "sexually harassed multiple young women in the New York office.

There is celebration and dancing in the streets like the country has never seen. The leader of the pack (Mugabe) is out, but, the pack is still there. Hopefully the people recognize this and don't allow these thieving gangsters to continue looting the country.

This isn't good. I don't trust the cable companies and they support this. Knowing more and more people are cutting the cord, that's a loss to them, so they're for sure going to make it up somewhere. The internet works fine for me the way it is.

So it's not only the NRA that owns the Republicans, but the ISPs as well. They made them all bowlegged.

The nonsense Gilsan posted was already handled. This is what happens when you get news from Breitbart, you're uninformed.

Bill Maher defended a 35 year old woman that repeatedly sexually assaulting a 13 year old boy: "How can a woman rape a man?“

Bill Maher apparently has no problem with pedophilia

Comedians can get away with murder and their idiotic followers will still find it funny...

He got away with having an opinion and you can tell, most didn't agree with him, including the guests on that show.

Reading some of the comments. If this happens, Republicans are screwed.

Trump doesn't even understand how to use email but this dimwit wants to reshape the internet Go ahead and try to get rid of #NetNeutrality if you want to be swept in 2018 by Dems. If you want to get the younger generation to vote, it's simple, Attack the internet, you moron!

Was watching video of the FCC Chairman trying to sell it. It's interesting to watch people lie their ass off, when you can tell they're not buying their own bs, but forging ahead anyway.


Bernie Sanders
Once again, the Trump administration sides with big money and against democracy. If this passes, the internet and its free exchange of information as we have come to know it will cease to exist. #NetNeutrality

Trump will get straight hammered on this. His already low approval ratings will dip even further.

Hope you can have a laugh here, but thought I would interrupt the debate with another topic.

Venezuela is sure a mess with a country with natural resource and talent and used to have a real economy (And that is in the Western Hemisphere), Spain/Catalonia is in disarray, the Saudi/Iran conflict escalation, There is Black Plague issues in Madagascar that might spread out into Europe and elsewhere. Lot's of geo political things going on.

So while the Harvey abuse news and all these people coming out of the woodwork against everyone in Hollywood, what about some benevolence towards what's going on else around the world?

I stopped watching the "News" as it all has become this mud slinging back and forth- and everyone has an opinion- and none of the news people have any better opinion than you or I. None. They are all puppets of the corporations that create the teleprompter scripts. Could be robots with monotone voices for all I care.

Well I did post about Venezuela over a year ago and prior to that as well, I did post about the Catalonia Independence crisis a little over a month ago, I just finished posting a couple hours ago about Mugabe being finally kicked out of Zimbabwe after destroying a fantastic fully functioning country that was called the Bread basket of Africa and turning it into a Basket case, BUT it appears no one in this thread really cares.

In fact I've had one or more people suggesting that I should only stick to USA politics posts and even the Moderator has removed 2 or 3 of my posts because they were not about USA politics, soooo, I'm gonna carry on bashing Liberals, Hollyweird, the Liberal Media, "the Russians are coming BS", because that is perfectly acceptable over here.

Oh... and having a little fun with my cartoons and memes, even though some people detest them.
