It's not "declaring" so much as "recognizing Israel's claim to it". The reason most countries don't recognize Israel's capital as Jerusalem is that the city is still disputed and so they don't want to prejudice the peace process. So, naturally, if their ownership of it is disputed, it can't be the capital, and so they put their embassies elsewhere. By recognizing Israel's claim of it being the capital as legitimate (and ignoring Palestinian claims to even East Jerusalem) Trump is supporting the idea that Jerusalem is 100% Israeli, which is, in addition to being contrary to about a billion Security Council resolutions, also a huge impediment to the peace process.

Was there a medical/scientific term when somebody processes the information they heard/read in such a fundamentally wrong/idiotic way that words like "Dense, Idiot, dumbass" don't cut it anymore and it's more akin to calling them "Darwin Awards recipients"?

The concern is that the "believe women" thing would get weaponized against any democrats who wanted to hold up and check on what happened before condemning the candidate, or who said "this person i've never heard of who talks only to brietbart is not credible".

This is a strawman of "Believe Women" though.

Believing women means taking their accusations about sex crimes equally seriously as accusations about any crime made by a man, in other words listen to them, take them seriously, and investigate to find out what happened instead of calling her a lying slut as is usually done.

Believing women doesn't mean carrying out immediate summary punishments based on nothing but one person's word without any examination, that's absurd.

Franken has written, uh, frankly, about the drug use at SNL - including his own - in several of his books, including his most recent. He's also written about his wife's alcoholism (and fictionalised it in the movie "When A Man Loves A Woman"). And John Belushi's overdose death, and his friend and writing partner Tom Davis's addiction-related death. Stuart Smalley may be a character that people hate, but it comes from a place of truth.

[edit - Davis's death probably wasn't related to drug addiction, but his many-year estrangement from Franken was.]

You're right, but I'll admit I'm worried that the right wing propaganda machine could seize control of the narrative the same way they did Fake News a year ago. Hillary brought it up before Donald ever did, if you'll recall.

Maybe but it's not the social media mob who has the clout to force senators to resign, the senate and party leadership has that clout, so I don't think there's any concern that because they start taking accusations seriously that they'll just up and start forcing people to resign left and right without evidence or reason.

They do that anyway. They nominated a chickenhawk and then ran invented stories that his war hero opponent was a coward. They said John McCain's adopted daughter was his illegitimate half-black love child. It's always been possible for canny political operators to lie about their opponents, I don't see how forcing actual harassers to resign in the face of multiple accusations and documented evidence affects that.

Like what is the alternative, just announce that no behavior is below our standards and we will cynically amorally defend every politician on our team no matter what so there's zero possibility we might ever fall for a false accusation, because buddy I don't think that would exactly go over well in the court of public opinion.
