His phony resignation a few weeks back was just a trick to help doug jones beat roy moore in alabama. The dems were able to say "See - we force our sex fiends to leave but repubs don't."

dec 18 2017 Some Democratic senators now regret pushing accused groper Sen. Al Franken to resign, and are urging him to stay on, according to a new report.

“I think we acted prematurely, before we had all the facts,” one anonymous senator told Politico. “In retrospect, I think we acted too fast.”

Franken reluctantly bowed to his colleagues’ demands to step down earlier this month after he was accused of sexual assault by eight women, saying he’d leave the Senate “in the coming weeks.” Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith has been tapped as his replacement.

But at least four senators — including three who initially joined the chorus demanding the handsy lawmaker step down — now want the Minnesota pol to reconsider his planned January exit, the site reports.

Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, who publicly demanded Franken resign at the time, is also said to be among those having regrets, Politico reports.

Some Democratic donors are on board, too.

“I and many other people — and specifically feminists — feel that it’s not too late, that he should not resign, and that the rush to sweep him out was ill-conceived, and we think that he has been supportive of women and women’s issues,” said retired New York state Supreme Court judge Emily Jane Goodman.

Yep.....he's going to vote against the tax cut and probably against funding the government.
They should have escorted his lying perverted ass out of the halls of Congress.

This is the kind of corruption that happens in 3rd world dictatorships when one side runs the propaganda machine we now call the mainstream media.

Yep and the stole the election from Moore....Bannon should have prepared better it was common knowledge they were going to bring in blacks from surrounding states

Good point. I heard they bused in 40,000 black people and no one noticed. Those sneaky blacks!

lol, at least you're admitting that Trump and his cult support for Roy Moore was support for a sex fiend.

 

[toobfreak]

You're either in office or not. Franken RESIGNED. He should have packed up his crap from his desk that afternoon and gone home. Once you resign, you shouldn't be able to continue working and voting on bills.

Hey, stop that. You're making the Birthers look almost sane by comparison.

 

[ScienceRocks]

He shouldn't have resigned in the first place as it isn't illegal or wrong to put your arm around someone for a photo op.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

That's what I thought. I may have posted it here.

I think everyone called this. When franken said he would resign in upcoming weeks everyone asked themselves "why not right now?"

 

[NYcarbineer]

Trump supporters complaining about sexual misconduct by a Democrat sounds like something out of a satire too absurd to be good satire.

Roy Moore couldn't drop out of that race, by Alabama law.

Regardless of that, the status of neither Roy Moore nor Al Franken is up to Democratic or Republican Senators. It's not up to Leahy, it's not up to McConnell, it's not up to political parties and it's not up to you. It's up to the voters of Alabama and Minnesota. And it always was.

I agree but when he promised to resign.....

Riiiiiiight because there's this shortage of black people in Alabama....

It's an answer to Republican anti-Constitutional dirty tricks.

The Republicans refuse to swear in Jones, which is a Constitutional violation. One that every Republicans here supports, because all Republicans shit on the Constitution for fun.

When the Republicans swear in Jones, and promise to immediately swear in Franken's replacement, then Franken should resign. He should not, however, allow Republican cheating to pay off.

More lies and shilliness from regressives. How about proving that?

Wow!!!!
You are a cheater accusing us of cheating.
That's rich.
So now you're making an unfounded accusation that the Republicans are up to something in this when in fact they were refusing to seat Roy Moore at one time.
Who cares that not only did Democrats rig the election but tried to destroy all of the voting records afterwards to cover it up. Mkay???
What do they have to hide, hmmmmm?

 

[easyt65]

People are laughing at watching you flop around like a fish. You said could instead of should. But since you said could, you're trying to walk back your mistake. Live with it.

I made no mistake. YOU attempted to suggest what I would personally count as 'evidence'.

The fact that the book in question was used in a court of law as 'evidence' by others has no bearing on what I personally think about the book. OTHERS considered the book 'evidence'. I STILL personally do not consider a book called 'IF I did It' to be any real evidence.

Again, STILL, you lose.

 

[BluesLegend]

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump whooped the crap out of Hillary and became the 45th president

THREE MILLION more Americans voted against the orange fuck-up....
NEVER forget that.......LOL

Which is meaningless, obviously Trump is the 45th president never forget that

Riiiiiiight because there's this shortage of black people in Alabama....

Well, all it took was roughly 30,000 more votes from other states.....and we all know that blacks, or Democrats in general, are willing to break the law to keep the GOP from keeping the Senate. Give em a few bucks and a free bus ride. All it would take is shipping the same few thousand from one poll to another letting them vote multiple times in black districts.

Easy peasey lemon squeezey...

Linky linky sounds so stinky?

 

[shockedcanadian]

If he unresigns any potential high ground the Democrats were going to take in 2018 or 2020 is gone. Worse, they will be called liars who are hypocrites and opportunists. Trump will say "I made promises on the campaign trail and when I keep them you attack me. You make a speech about resigning and you reverse course. The Democrats can't be trusted!"

This will be repeated over and over, in debates, in attack ads. Fraken will be the Poster Boy and might even find himself on a few posters attacking the dems.

He needs to resign, I would be shocked if he stuck around, it would harm the party severely.

 

[radical right]

I made no mistake. YOU attempted to suggest what I would personally count as 'evidence'.

You totally screwed up. You said COULD not, meaning a total bar, prohibition, can't be used.

You meant, if you had any integrity, to say SHOULD not, meaning an opinion.

Stop fighting, raise the white flag, and move on.

 

[radical right]

You're either in office or not. Franken RESIGNED. He should have packed up his crap from his desk that afternoon and gone home. Once you resign, you shouldn't be able to continue working and voting on bills.

Omarosa is staying on the payroll until January 20th.

 

[bripat9643]

If the sexual predator, Trump can stay in office, then the "sexual predator" Franken can too.....................LOL

Your definition of "sexual predator" appears to include men who don't say "no" when women throw themselves at him.
