Just curious, if this applies to Drumpf and 16 allegations (so far) of sexual assault against him.
Why arenât these brave Democrats demanding the same of Trump? Why are the Democrats in the House afraid of their own shaddows? Is it because Pelosi is holding onto power and they continue to follow her lead?
This is all very confusing⌠why the rush to judgement? Isnât the process set in place of an ethics investigation supposed to deal with issues like this? So let the process work!
Conyers and Franken should offer to resign at the same time that Trump does, not a minute before.
Democrats need to stop shooting themselves in the feet all the time.
If the other side is fine with child rapists, kicking out your own people for grabbing a boob or a butt is patently stupid.
If you canât tell the fundamental difference between the accusations of Conyers and Franken, Joe, then maybe YOU are part of the problem in Congress. You try and lump everything together and just move on without doing any of the âheavyâ work of determining guilt or innocence. STOP trying to take the easy way out always.
So, we are at a place now where just ACCUSATIONS result in Punishment?
No evidence. No charges. No testimony.
Just ACCUSATIONS (made in the Hysterical Media also.)
We are doomed if we continue down this road. This leads directly to the Salem Witch Trials where people were EXECUTED based solely on the accusations of several young girls.
Meanwhile, the Naziâs in the White House sit back and laugh as we tear each other apart.
Fools.
If these Democrats had been as vocal and persistent in their insistence that Republicans should resign because of financial malfeasance this year, we might have some media traction on all the dirty money and bribes that flow around the white house - but no - some women claim that al franken squeezed their buts and this is what they howl about? Try going after REAL criminals first

Please stop comparing Trump and his team to Nazis.
The Nazis were intelligent, educated, knew how to run a country, and were insidiously evil.
Trumpâs team canât even manage a single one of those, being merely stupid and incompetent.
We need to stop comparing Democrats to Trump, for a few reasons, not the least of which is that we Democrats should hold ourselves to a higher standard than the Republicans hold each other. Thatâs one of the things that separates us and them, or is supposed to.
And no, this is not a legal process. Itâs a political one. There is no âburden of proofâ or anything like that.
Have Conyers and Franken got to the point where staying on is harming the publicâs business and their party? In Conyersâ case, I think the answer is yes. And much as I like Al Franken, and was hoping that he could ride is out, I am now doubtful that that is the case.
Okay, this viewpoint might be unpopular here, but enough with this story already. Let Congress deal with these two men. We have MUCH more important matters to deal with - and this issue is a distraction. Conyers is going to retire and if Franken has to leave, weâll get another Democrat. End of story. Between the tax bill and the militaristic coup happening in the Cabinet, itâs really not that important.
Yes! This useless piece of kaka is my Congress person. He is a âTop House Democratâ only because his district is safe Democrat. Nobody knows about him outside of his District because he is nothing. I am not going to look it up but I believe he may be a legacy politician whose father served here in Queens before him.
He and Sen Kirsten Gillibrand have been largely silent during the Presidential Campaign and during Trumpâs Reign of Error. Both have been outspoken on this. Why are the Democrats applying Double Standards to their own? Fuck Joe Crowley. I have not heard him express an original thought about any matter of important policy in the almost 30 years I have lived in this District. I have also not heard a Peep from Sen Gillibrand who defended Phillip Morris at her cushy Wall St Lawfirm before being chosen to succeed HRC as Senator.
With our Groper in Chief stumping for a pedophile - who will most likely be seated if it wins - I see no reason for either Franken or Conyers to step down.
Is Crowley planning to run for president in 2020?
What about Mr âDic Picâ Joe Barton, why arenât the repubs screaming for him to resign?
SO sick and tired of so-called progressives and Democrats who want us to unilaterally disarm in a fight for our lives.
Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people?
Iâm very glad that their lives are so secure that they can afford to stand down.
But for the 60% of Americans who have lost ground since the 1970s, the additional 20% who are barely hanging on (but only by dint of working far longer and harder for it) â for the vast majority of us who are but one paycheck, one layoff, one medical emergency, or one car breakdown away from total catastrophe, we do NOT enjoy that luxury.
The universal response from EVERY Dem / liberal / progressive / wâev to ANY such suggestion or even discussion of the concept should, must, be:
Trump first.
So-called âJudgeâ Roy Moore first.
THEN we can â maybe â begin to consider the possibility that perhaps some of our strongest and most effective spokespeople might step down from the fights they are waging for all of us, for the country, for the planet itself.
If you have nothing helpful to say or do in that fight, at least have the grace to STFU and get out of the way of the rest of us, fighting for our lives.
Iâm as left-wing as they come, but that looks pretty much like the only crime was the one committed against him. He was in consenting adult relationships with other consenting adults. And photos were exchanged. The only potential crime there is the leaking of those photos without his consent.
AbsolutelyâDemocrats should always include Trumpâs name in any list of preferred resignations.
An interesting theory.
Tell us, did Joe Bartonâs wife also âconsentâ to his dalliance?
And then these spineless, gutless, heartless and brainless punks wonder why they lose.
PLEASE someone primary this POS.
They were separated, by all accounts.
Unless youâre a hard-core right-winger, it doesnât matter what two consenting adults want to do together, anyway.
