Wonder if things would be any different if Al Franken was still on judiciary committee...

[Amaryllis]

I miss him more than ever these days.

1. This Was Part of the Long Game

2. You mean if he wasn' ratf***ed with the assistance of people I will never forgive? n/t

[redstateblues]

3. I love Al. In the minority we have very little power. Senator Coons has

Helped to delay this debacle.

[Kajun Gal]

4. Yes. Very much so!

[Wellstone ruled]

5. None of the so called

people who accused Al have come forward. Only the Ratfuck from ABC Radio LA as well as Roger Stone have shown a photo shopped picture.

7. Just as a reminder, Franken himself apologized for mistreating women

Also it's blatantly false to claim that "none" of the so called people who accused Al have come forward". In fact 4 of the 8 women (including the one you smeared with insinuations - which is exactly the same approach everyone who tries to discount victims uses and is in fact why so many victims don't come forward) were named. I really don't understand why people refuse to believe even Franken himself. The fact that you have to misstate things that are such basic facts, says it doesn't matter to you whether he serially groped women or not.

Here's a link, detailing the 4 named and 4 anonymous allegations against Franken. Please at least don't continue to spread blatant falsehoods like only one of the women came forward with her name.

Many don’t disclose, because they fear they won’t be believed, and until very recently, that has primarily been the case. The fact that sexual misconduct is the most under-reported crime is due to a common belief that women make up these stories for attention or to get back at a man who rejected them. Victims' accounts are often scrutinized to the point of exhaustion. In high-profile cases, victims are often labeled opportunists, blamed for their own victimization, and punished for coming forward.

Believe victims. Don't attack them.

8. Please do not get me wrong on this issue.

First,thanks for the links. Second,had I seen this links at the time,I would not have type my statement. Third,did not know the State Fair Persons were identified. Fourth,there is no way in hell I would ever condone any type of miss behavior towards any person male or female. Fifth,have been a witness to two assaults,one male and the other female,and was able to intervene and stop both assaults. BTW,the persons who were involved are most likely running around because of their so called Positions and family ties and it has been over fifty years since these happened,knowing of that behavior,they both may have attempted to or did violate others . Bullies and Booze is one hell of a bad mixture.

Have a great day,sorry for the misunderstanding .

6. On a bit of a tangent, Al keeping it classy at 1996 WH Correspondents dinner.
