A mall ban is usually a photo on a bulletin board above the coffee maker (but this was 40 years ago [“allegedly”] it would be a percolator).
If a matter was adjudicated in a court room there would be actual documentation.
Actually, Franken's main accuser has been slut shamed on MSNBC and other outlets... Seems the fact she once posed nude means she can be harassed at will be Dem politicians. or should Moore apologize if he is innocent. That is like asking him if he stopped beating his wife, it presupposes his guilt. Franken is more than scummy, its false remorse, he has a history of dehumanzing women and now credible allegations it was all talk.
You are busy defending a guy who hits on teenage girls half his age or less and the people who are piling on to his accusers, so your interpretation of 'slut shaming' and 'harassed' don't have much currency. Links please.
I obviously do not know if these allegations are true or not but the right course of action for an honest person would be to sue for libel and stand aside until your name is cleared. Has Trump ever sued any of those who alleged he molested them as he said he would?
It was only as the meeting was about to break up that an American spymaster solemnly announced there was one more thing: American intelligence agencies had come to believe that Russian president Vladimir Putin had “leverages of pressure” over Trump, he declared without offering further specifics, according to a report in the Israeli press. Israel, the American officials continued, should “be careful” after January 20—the date of Trump’s inauguration.
"I was asking the Air Force guys, I said, how good is this plane? They said, well, sir, you can't see it. I said, yeah, but in a fight -- you know, a fight -- like I watch in the movies -- they fight, they're fighting. How good is this?"
Just unbelievable. No doubt eyes where rolling behind his back.

"If I win I may never see my property -- I may never see these places again," Trump said at an August 2016 event. "But because I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks.
Trump could be on track to triple Obama's time on the golf course
President Donald Trump could be on track to spend as much as triple the time former President Barack Obama did on the golf course in his first year in office -- and to play more than former President George W. Bush did in eight years in office.
Trump spent Saturday at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, marking the 81st day that the President has visited one of his golf courses -- and his fourth straight day at a club. A law enforcement source said Trump played with golf legend Jack Nicklaus, a longtime supporter of the President.
It is unclear, however, whether Trump golfs each day he visits a course or how many rounds he plays when he does. White House aides rarely confirm that the President is golfing, but Trump did so himself on Friday, announcing that he was playing with golfing stars Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson.
By comparison, Obama played 333 rounds of golf during his eight years in office and at this point in the first year of his term had played 26 rounds, according to Mark Knoller of CBS News, who keeps detailed statistics of presidencies.
Knoller told CNN that Bush played only 24 rounds of golf as President and stopped playing golf after October 13, 2003, after he was criticized for golfing while the nation was at war. At this point in his presidency, Bush had golfed seven times.
anti-intellectualism run amok. these beliefs were already increasing in the GOP before Trump, although Trump has vastly accelerated the process.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov
