The ONLY reason Franken resigned from the senate

[initforme]

Franken is guilty....Conyers is guilty....the rep from Arizona isn't looking good and Moore is guilty....unless every accuser is lying which is beyond unlikely. But in America heck this behavior is just fine...just fine. I hope to see many more be called out as well. This type of behavior is abnormal.

at this time is that Minnesota has a Democrat Governor who appoints a temporary replacement. End of story.

And ? The people elected a Democrat , don’t you think his replacement should have similar politics ?

you are missing the point. Franken would still be in the senate if Minnesota had a Republican Governor. No way would the dems allow a GOP Governor to appoint a temporary replacement.

So you are saying scum party first GOP gov would’ve nominated a republican to replace him ?

You got it. Just like a Dem would appoint a Dem if the seat were held by a Republican.

The only reason he "announced" his retirement is because of Moore. Democrats would be paralyzed by going after Moore while keeping Franken on board.

If you are honest with yourself, do you really believe there would have any announcement if there was no Moore in the picture? The Democrats would have circled the wagon like they did with Clinton and every other Democrat politician that ran into similar trouble.

Just because he announced he was quitting doesn't mean he will. He didn't resign immediately, he said the next couple of weeks. Gee, now what's going to happen in the next week? That's right, the Alabama election

I won't believe he's dropping out until he does.

that may well have been a contributing factor as well. But even then if the GOP had the Governor Franken would not have resigned giving the GOP another seat if that were the case.

If every guy (or gal for that matter) who committed a sexual harassment or spoke, tweeted, or performed lewd or crude acts, got booted from their job, we would have double digit unemployment.

Some people are pigs, and Time magazines people of the year have brought an end to their rein.

Al Frankengroper is a dumb liberal crackpot who loathes about 75% of Americans and Minnesotans should feel ashamed for ever electing him in the first place.

They diddnt. Some ******* did..

 

[mudwhistle]

Watch out when democrats throw one of their own liberals under the bus, everything is political and they have a dirty trick up their sleeves. Democrats wouldn't lose a seat as long as Minn. has a democrat governor and as a matter of fact if rumors are true the Gov. will appoint a senator who is even further to the crazy left than Franken. Another issue is that Franken didn't actually resign, he promised to resign in a couple of weeks but what do promises mean to politicians.

wouldn't it be wonderful if these lying fuckwads just moved to Europe and left us alone????

Of course Al Franken tried to bring Trump into the conversation and at the same time castigated Roy Moore over his accusers.

Al Franken is a little man and a creep. An absolute perverted cokehead.

I don't think he deserved the right to postulate on the floor of the Senate.

Neither does Roy Moore in the Senate or Trump in the White House. They are all perverted. If Franken was a Republican you would be defending him.

He is guilty...so is Conyers....so is Moore...hopefully alot more go down as well as these abnormal urges are not needed. This is the beginning of the domino fall.

Trump in 2020 will likely be the last domino.

He was voted in by crooked means anyway, if you all remember

Absolutely, unlike Trump. Franken was elected by getting more votes.

Trump won by getting more college votes. That's the way we pick our President.

Of course, a share of them were illegal ... but, hey, who cares about facts?

Perhaps, but my crystal ball is no better than yours.

The new game is "See how much better we Democrats are than Republicans?"

Democrats have made a bad name for themselves by catering to weirdos, siding with criminals against the police, supporting protests in professional football, and endorsing street protests that turned into riots and property damage.

They lost the Congress, the Senate, most of the governorships across the country, the White House, and hundreds of smaller local seats.

Now they finally realize that cutting Republicans down is not winning them elections. The racist, bigot, sexiest, homophobe thing isn't working and never has. Time for something new. It's not much of an improvement, but an improvement in strategy.

Nope.
Roy Moore is a dick.
And anyone who acts like Al Franken can't be a Republican I would support.

Have not seen anything about the other Franken women, #1 is for sure a fraud, said she had been angry for 10 years & then shows up at a USO dinner years later, that is held for him' saw the smiling in his face photos. # 2 plenty room for doubt. why his and others (right or left) don't go to the ethics committee. Moore different story, he is unfit for the job. sexual conduct or not.

Yep....actual photos of Al Franken groping women isn't enough for you.....but debunked accusations from 40 years ago are convincing enough for a pinhead like yourself.

Actually the tide may be turning. Obama was a drag on the Democrat Party and Trump may now be a drag on the Republican Party. The Democrats picked up 15 seats in the Virginia House. They picked up seats in local races in the Philadelphia suburbs for the first time. They have also won several special elections in the Oklahoma state legislature including 1 that went 60%+ for Trump.

A CARETAKER.
Of all the bonehead moves...what Governor Dayton needs to do is appoint a pit bull who will carry the first directly to the Republicans relentlessly, not endanger the seat by putting a do nothing caretaker in it and thus leave it open to a Republican challenge.
