Not mentioning a specific member of demographic does not deny that member's inclusion in the demographic.

It's lazy thinking to believe otherwise.

It's irrational thinking to predicate a conclusion on that lack of specificity.

You'll allege otherwise, no doubt; and pretend your logical fallacy is anything but, as it's human nature to save face at the expense of merely learning.

Today she didn't
I was simply asking what changed her mind

If she still felt strongly that Franken was guilty she would not have left him off that list
It would have made her tweet stronger

They're hired and fired by the people. And people will continue to vote knowingly for sexual predators.

We get the government we deserve.

When people talk about "term limits" for politicians, they conveniently forget that every election is a potential term limit. But when it comes to the Supreme Court, it's a different story. Those judges are appointed for life, and IMHO American Supremes should have term limits. In Canada, judges are appointed as well, but there is mandatory retirement at age 75, and nearly all that I recall have retired well before age 75.
Time for the US to catch up!

and the dominant male and oil companies (Russian or domestic) have a lot of sway in the political world and in media.
That's what put Trump in power.

Trump's new denial brought it up. They showed the taes, Trump's old apology, and his new denial.

Trump is stupid that he himself reignited it.

I knew a guy who caressed his GF's breast for a while as they sat snuggled in heavy coats and gloves; the way they were sitting, with his arm around her and her leaning into him, he thought it was her elbow. They were religious people and it wasn't a sexual relationship. Did he "cop a feel"? I certainly don't think so. He was pretty embarrassed. (She brought it to his attention later, to clear up any confusion.) Anyhow, i thought about that today when I read about Keillor, and I think a fumbled attempt at a caring gesture is nowhere near being a firing offense.
