It is quite funny, the guy who all the libs criticized for talking about grabbing p*ssy is now laughing his ass off as all of these hypocrites get taken down.

He has been playing the media as a master violinist plays a Stradivarius. It's gotten to the point of being painful to watch.

This could trickle down to any guy anywhere being fired just because someone who doesn't like them accuses them of sexual misconduct. By the way women engage in sexual misconduct as well.

Had they already started to cut him out of all scenes, shows and interviews? This is like a witch hunt and reactions went over the edge for my taste.

Don't hear too many men being sexually harassed in the workplace. I fear we will never truly gain equality.

All joking aside, it's a scary time to be a man right now. I've never been that type of guy, but thinking back in my career, I've known a lot of misogynists who are probably looking over their shoulder right about now.

Trump is brilliant, the gop establishment was against him, he didn't have a bunch of super PAC ads like Hill, spent half of what Hillary spent, she had the full support of the democrat establishment, Trump still outsmarted the left.

Michelle,Barack campaigned for her still didn't help, the Koch brothers were against Trump pouring money in the primary to see him defeated...

This is the fear. Are we giving too much power to these 'victims'?

How can you prove sexual misconduct that wasnt witnessed or documented? Can a woman with a grudge against a guy now claim sexual misconduct? Could she use it to pursue her own career goals (ie glass ceiling?)

It is a scary world out there, i almost want to walk around with a camera on my head to prove no foulplay. (except i'd be totally fucked because of my fast driving)

Women lear at men, grab their asses and make sexually suggestive comments about men, not to mention they're also guilt of stalking and rude or creepy behavior. This goes both ways yet it always is so one sided with men being accused the vast majority of the time.

Here's the honest truth. If you are a woman and want to grab me, i really dont give a sh!t. i'm not sensitive, i can take jokes, and i wouldnt cry wolf. Obviously there comes a point that it becomes 'too far'.

Can i even hit on a woman anymore without fearing i'd be considered a sexual threat? Words can be considered a sexual assault? What if i ask a woman on a date, or make an advance on her? How do we tell the difference between the 'chase' or 'courting' and sexual assault?

I mind if the woman is fat and ugly lol. It's never the pretty ones that try to grab my ass. They try to make it seem like they did it on accident when they brush up against you. I don't mind if she's hot but often she's not.

The interesting thing is when I saw this on the Today show this morning and they cut to commercials... it was Matt Lauer in a commercial for a local Hospice where he brought his dad. Those commercials have been running for years. Sure seemed like someone in the local news that I presume airs those ads must have gotten caught off-guard or was sleeping at the wheel. What a stupid commercial to show immediately after the spokesperson is fired for misconduct. :

Some women will fuck their way up the corporate ladder, and when they don't get the position they were promised, it's sexual harassment.

Notice in Hollywood, most of the accusers come out when they can't no longer find work

Yeah that's why I don't call hr over it but sometimes it gets out of hand imo and I still don't report it. I think women are more quick to pull the trigger in some cases though it is warranted some of the time.

I am amazed at many of the comments on this thread. I understand not wanting to be politically correct on the one hand, but many of you seem to have gone to an ugly extreme. I suspect NBC would only fire him (Lauer) with concrete evidence, as he has been a cash cow for them for 20 years. The thing I am most upset about is Trump (who has really become a mere caricature) is in his daily fit of twitter stupidity, again called out a respected news organization as "fake". In watching NBC news for 30+ years, I have found them to be highly credible.

As I posted in "trump hits and misses", let me know about any statement, ANY, where Trump has differentiated himself with a nugget of wisdom that would make me or you think he has an inkling of the solution to any problem.
N. Korea? Sexual harassment? Health care? Racism? Anything? He really has defined himself as a simpleton in his 10 months in office. All he seems to know how to do is "troll the left" , tweet, and re-tweet.
