      What happened to Al Franken three weeks after Leeann Tweeden, a conservative talk-radio host, accused him?

      We absolutely need to investigate claims and make sure due process is not an up hill battle. At least 63% of rapes are not reported. Yet there needs to be due process. Due process is different from a private company deciding not to do business with you or pay you while due process is under way, so I’m not surprised by YouTube taking this action.

      It’s simple, any pictures of politicians we love like that are wild, goofy, alt-right conspiracy theories. We have 95% of news organizations already repeating the same stories as each other. When 95% all say it’s a conspiracy, it is. Don’t believe those other fringe rags.
