The ALabama GOP has his back but the swamp creatures in washington have been on him to quit. Even the White House - although Trump himself has been silent. I do';t think you will see Trump commenting on any of this stuff. Too close to home.

Yeah....that guy appears to be worse than Franken ever dreamed of being.

Of course, Bill Clinton was the worst of them all.

Not only that, Franken was not in politics at that time as this was 2006 - he ran for the senate in 2008 when he defeated Norm Coleman. He was a comedian and the photo which Eagle loves so much is said by democratic underground to have been posed:

''Photographer: he was playing dead and SHE wanted him to ‘revive’ her. I took the picture it was a funny moment everyone was smiling having a good time''



I don't know if this is true but that's what Congressional inquiries are for.


So.....so far the left's defense has been:

1. She's a slut (modeled for Playboy), so she deserved it.

2. She's a liar. Who believes a woman?

3. The Republicans are doing it too.

It is actually funny to watch.

They were all wrong. Trying to use this for political advantage is morally bankrupt.

Clinton, Weinstein, Moore, Franken, Trump, all of them are equally wrong, and equally unacceptable to decent folk. And to any man worthy of the name.

No, it's not actually.

PROUD RESISTER �� @ProudResister
The solution is simple...

Roy Moore: Step down from the race.

Al Franken: Resign from congress.

Donald Trump: Resign from the presidency.

GOP: Stop making sexual assault a partisan issue. It’s a crime as is your hypocrisy.

Al Franken and Barney Frank have a lot in common. Both think the law applies to others but not to them. I'm hopping Franken gets his comeuppance now.

I noticed that ES really cares about sexual infringement when it has to do with Democrats and doesn't really seem that interested when it has to do with Republicans.


Just something I noticed.


Probably just a coincidence.


Yea... totally just a coincidence.

Nah... you're just trying to deflect. Apparently you approve of Franken's behavior.

I understand why Franken should resign because there is pictoral proof of his assault, but Moore has only allegations against him with no proof.

Everyone is boycotting these actors for their sexual misconduct, but "grab her by the pussy" is still in the White House.​

Hey guess what Gopher.... Here Comes Number 2!

Second woman comes forward with bombshell harassment allegations against Senator Al Franken

http://www.aol.com/article/news/201...egations-against-senator-al-franken/23280102/

Hot off the presses for you.

This woman is a certified loony of the far right. She still insists Obama is a Muslim who went to a Madrasa, put out pictures of Nancy Pelosi with a bullseye over her head and has made a number of kooky statements. Her complaint is hardly a bombshell, either, since it seems to involve him arguing about budget numbers with her and not a hint of anything sexual or threatening.

I understand why Franken should resign because there is pictoral proof of his assault, but Moore has only allegations against him with no proof.

You can't tell from that picture if he is actually touching her, as opposed to holding his fingers a couple of inches away from her chest. I doubt it, given the context of his expression, and that there were others watching. Still pretty juvenile for someone his age, though.
