1. I'm not a Trump supporter, and didn't vote for him.
2. Your response = 'Whataboutism'
No, it's a response to the existing "whataboutism" claims that are all over this thread (and the POC forum). If accusations and settlements prove guilt for Bill Clinton, then surely they must for Donald Trump as well? But the Trump supporters will never admit that - regardless of whether or not you are one of them.
False, there is a semen-stained blue dress that proves Clinton is a sexual predator. There is no such thing as consensual sex between a CEO and an intern half his age.
However between a political rock star and a political groupie...A media favorite, President Clinton being the target however saved us from New Salem for another generation
Forcing Franken out is a remarkably stupid move by the women in the Senate. The tax bill won by two votes, and Senatorial females just gave an additional advantage to the Republicans.
Couldn't they primary him like the Republicans do?
No they didn't.
He won't go anywhere until the governor has a person ready and vetted. That governor is a D. No R advantage at all.
You seriously think that Franken's senatorial accusers didn't have this worked out beforehand?
There are Trump fans (paid and unpaid) in here acting like their cult leader didn’t call his 16—highly credible—sexual assault accusers liars. They are pretending they aren’t less than a week away from sending a child molester to the senate...11 months after sending a serial assaulter to the White House.
Yeah, OK. No one sane believes your fake superiority over Franken.
He called them all liars; said they were too ugly to grope and promised to sue them ALL after the election.
His seat now becomes completely open in 2018 instead of 2020.
Democrat Party loses one of it's most notewothy leaders.
Franken's hopes of being the 2020 DEM nominee for President are gone. Another true progressive goes up in smoke.
Lol, keep dreaming. You should probably be worrying about the midterm elections next year, especially if Moore gets in there. Talk about sending a powerful message.
Bothered by hysteria/hypocrisy with attacks on Franken
I'll start by saying that I'm a liberal Democrat, but I'm disturbed by this sudden mania about hugely broad sexual "inappropriateness" that seems to make no distinction between a casual grab and serious assault, or between an adult and a child. And I'm just as disturbed about the accusations toward the elderly President George H. W. Bush as I am toward Al Franken.
But what triggered this post was a Stephen Colbert comment. The two were chummy when Franken was interviewed previously, naturally, but Colbert was now speaking about Franken disdainfully, that Franken had forced a kiss on a presumably grown woman, and made a remark, presumably jokingly, something like "It's my right as an entertainer."
Now, here's the thing. Anyone who watches late-night talk shows knows that when female guests are introduced, they enter and are routinely kissed by the host. And I'm sure some of them would just as soon not be kissed. So to me this is a great example of how this is spinning crazily out of control.
I feel like some of these guys, yes, are scum. But there are example like Bush and Franken where this seems heading very badly down the wrong path.
