My hunch, based somewhat on Moore’s pattern, is that this is actually factually criminal conduct in the Hastert vein.

In February, he argued the U.S.-Mexico border was so dangerously porous that nuclear weapons could be smuggled into the United States from Mexico in bales of marijuana.

They’d be easy to spot, with radioactive calves the size of cantaloupes…

Rumors swirling around Franks for years = Everybody knew but nobody spoke up publicly.

All part of the incumbent protection racket.

Yep, R + AZ = Asshole.

Had the identical thought as I reading this, but I think it’s just wishful thinking on my part.

We’ll see.

Given how the Republican caucus has been welcoming of sex offenders like Trump, Moore, and Farehthold what could possibly cause Franks to resign? My guess is that it involves cannibalism.

Has to be something worse than cannibalism, otherwise they would be shunning Trump, Bannon and the Mercers and they are clearly not.

Mistaken prayer circle. Overheard was “No you go first! Okay fine, rock, paper, scissors on 3”

True in the general case, but Franks is a truly special piece of excrement even by Arizona GOP limbo standards.

But that it’s being treated seriously by GOP folks pushes it toward dead girl IMHO. The OMG factor is increasing exponentially these days.

“A group of House Rs are on the house floor huddled in what appears to be a prayer circle with Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona. Including Tom graves, mark walker, Robert aderholt, Louie gohmert and Jeff Duncan. . . . Franks said goodbye to Mike McCaul, wiped his eye and is leaving the House floor.”

Prayer circle? Please. More like an ideological circle jerk for a circle of ideological jerks.
