Let’s not jump all over Gillibrand for Franken’s resignation. She did the right thing and Franken did the right thing…The blame all falls on Franken himself. He got himself into this mess…no one else.

I want Franken in the Senate. He is a strong voice for the center…which many are calling the Left now…

If Al wants to remain in the Senate he can run again in the special election. Air all the dirty laundry in the campaign…then let the voters decide…

pretty much

I got into this yesterday (not sure/this timeline), but guys like Manchin and Jones need to carefully choose their words, when it comes to addressing Trump’s sexual allegations.

Simply, while those allegations are part of a bigger 2016 picture, downgrading their importance on account of '16’s election result , is really asking for it.

I think he’s citing Musician’s Rule #3: “If you can’t fix it with duct tape it probably can’t be fixed.”

When my kid was a toddler he tried to fix a broken shovel with scotch tape. It was an act of faith.

The first one sure was, and as for the others, its hard to know, they could of read the situation wrong, like the one who said she was groped because his hand was on her waist during a photo that she asked for.

Edit: We know there was another one that accused him of misconduct during a photo op with Huffington, but once that sizzled out people just seemed to forget that it was a case you can point to that someone lied about Franken.

Yes her.

32 Democratic senators called on Senator Al Franken to resign.

Only 6 Democratic senators have called on President Donald Trump to resign.

Calling for Trump’s resignation should be easy now, so what’s the excuse why every Democratic Senator hasn’t done so?

Why not? She jumped all over Franken before the facts were known.

No, she did not. She rushed to judgment and hung Al out to dry for personal political reasons.

Bullshit, and it stinks on ice.

Then stop acting like you want the opposite.

Like when his term is up and he runs for re-election?

At least one was lying, possibly two.

The others were either mis-remembering or far too delicate to be out in public.

Tweeden was lying about some of it. Very skillfully by implication.

Hard to tell about the anonymous complaints.

Last time I looked we had one claim of a scripted kiss carried out in an offensive matter, one offensive joke photo, two attempted wet kisses, and three claims of misplaced hands out of thousands of photo shoots.

And hundreds of testimonials from women who actually worked with him over the years.

I believe the latter.
