In reply to the discussion: Trump Will Eventually Disappear - Al Franken [View all]Celerity
(43,249 posts)40. every Democratic Senator but 5 told him to resign, either in public or private
Christopher Coons, Brian Schatz, and Jeanne Shaheen were on the Senate Ethics Committee and could not say anything (they all would have told him to resign I am sure)
Bob Menendez was under federal indictment and trial for corruption and chose to not say anything. (The case was eventually dropped after a mistrial due to the jury unable to reach a unanimous guilty verdict, and he then received an official Senate letter of severe admonishment and reprimand.)
The only one who said he should not resign as Manchin.

The miracle is he's as stupid as he is. If he'd been smart we'd be in much worse trouble right now.

To me that's one of the scariest scenes I've ever seen. I'd pay to seen him dragged off like that.

It's as if, after Pearl Harbor, FDR said, "This is really Hawaii's problem now."

Whatever it takes. Never in a million years did I ever think I'd feel that way about a POTUS.

Good Grief! That really sucks! And the cost could prevent sick people from being tested!
