Thinking about Franken today. Were it not for him, there would be no Mueller

[question everything]

Take this, Gillibrand, and Harris, and Warren, and two woman running for governor in Minnesota.

[dchill]

1. Franken/Kennedy 2020.

[pazzyanne]

14. I could vote for that!

[Wellstone ruled]

2. You are so correct my friend.

Because he was smarter than the Senator from Alabama. And that Senator lied to Mr. Franken.

[nocalflea]

3. Franken did a great job exposing Sessions to more scrutiny .

I'm not happy about the subterfuge used to sideline him. But, divided we fall.

Looks like this operation against Franken is set to claim more democrats as victims. Extra dividends for the perpetrators.

Worrisome.

4. There would be no Spring or Summer without Franken.

Take that Jehovah.

[Exotica]

15. Lololol

[Horse with no Name]

5. And he paid for that dearly. N/t

[Skittles]

6. which is exactly why he no longer has a job

and shame on those people who went along with that utter fucking garbage

[question everything]

20. At the end, he probably would have had to step down

It was a drip drip of new allegations every day and eventually it would have distracted from his work.

But those "concerned" Democrats should have taken him aside, privately, together looking at the rising clouds and it should have been his own decision.

Ir is now clear that Roger Stone was behind it and I suspect that in the coming weeks or months we will know more about him.

[Skittles]

23. it was targeted bullshit

and don't even get me started about those self-serving "concerned" ASSHOLES

[LakeArenal]

25. Worst part, they keep tripling down on it

Repeating “credible” allegations as the reason. Grrrrrrrr

[renate]

7. I really miss him, and feel so bad for him. I think his decency did him in

I love him to bits. What a mensch, to be respectfully willing to accept the possibility that a hand on a person's waist making her uncomfortable could have been his fault, rather than than calling her an oversensitive drama queen.

But wow, what a part in history he played! Not just for all the good stuff he quietly did as a senator from Minnesota, but for exactly the reason you said. A pretty sweet achievement.

[Awsi Dooger]

8. I still don't know how that happened

Great senator to gone

[question everything]

21. Same was as Trump happened

Roger Stone and other Russians worked behind the scene taking advantage of our gullibility.

.

[leftstreet]

9. DURec

[oasis]

10. Both Hillary and Al Franken got raw deals. Great potential gone

to waste.

[czarjak]

11. Theyll be back...

[MustLoveBeagles]

27. This

[JI7]

12. ok, but why only call out the women ? there were men calling for him to leave also

13. +1! eom

[Exotica]

16. Plus 2

[Cha]

17. Agree.. there were a whole bunch

more who aren't listed in the OP

[LexVegas]

18. Because the women led and egged the men on, like Eve in Eden.

[eShirl]

19. lol

[poboy2]

22. That is true, but let any 'man' express dismay, and they would get a beat down.

Weak 'men' going along. They were inclined to defer to 'women' on this.
Catch hell or go along. Thats the truth. Again though, they lacked the strength to potentially be called names.
As it turns out though, now the names are 'weak', 'follower', etc. At best, call them deferential to a fault.

[bdamomma]

24. I wonder what he is doing.

god, if there was ever a time to get some strong leadership in the Congress it would be now.

I have nothing against Rep Schiff he is great. I like his calm demeanor.

[LakeArenal]

26. Why Gillibrand....

Because she went on the View and tripled down on it. She keeps talking, she’ll get pushback.
