I got to go buy his book “Lion of the Senate” or whatever horse puckey it was named. I wonder if the big wuss can resign without crying like a little girl. Go out like a man like Nixon did. He will know more about Nixon’s character Thursday than he ever did before.

Hey Al, “The Al Franken Decade” ended in the 1980s.

Don’t get to giddy FReepers. This is all leading to a revisit of Trump behavior for the last 50 years. If Franken falls on his sword as Conyers has, that may open the gates.

The allegations against Moore are looking more and more fraudulent each day. Everyone now knows Gloria Allred had that year book signing forged.

With “funny man” Al Franken they are proven

Sure, Democrats and GOP elitists: go ahead and continue to vilify Roy Moore and Alabamians in general for supporting him. That will just make more people show up to vote for him.

Y’all may think this makes him resign or otherwise easier to kick out of the Senate later, but you are woefully underestimating this state.

“They know Franken’s replacement will be a Dem.”

Very true. Mark Dayton the former senator now governor is a socialist through and through. Not how his family make their billions (think Dayton/Hudson Corp and Target) but they haven’t seen a liberal social program they aren’t falling all over.

Franken was an extreme liberal much in the mold of other famous senators of Minnesota such as Mondale and Humphrey. They will find some moneyed liberal from the Minnesota upper crust to follow in Franken’s path.

Give Judge Roy a chance. He can defend himself if it must happen and the true Republicans will remember this smear campaign for what it is.

Every single thing that I’ve seen, I mean every single thing raises questions of facts. He should undergo an ethics investigation and be done with it, but there’s a lot of false witnessing going on against the man.

The thing about POTUS is that he knows he has never assaulted any woman.

No matter how much mud the truth will win free when carried as a buckler by an honest man. Not to mention the millions of Americans who will stand their ground to fight for their President.

If he resigns, the outrage will be focused on Roy Moore to either not be elected or to be run out of the Senate.

This is all a ruse. Bank on it!!!


Yep.

Then they will attempt to do the same to Trump.

I think BOTH attempts backfire, BIG TIME!!

The Roy Moore rebound.

With Franken and Conyers resigning then expect the pressure to be directed at Moore from day one.

He was “voted” in by ballots in the trunk of strategically pre-positioned “abandoned” cars in the northwoods as set up by the communist then Secretary of State Mark Ritchie. In other words, he cheated.

“Franken is just road kill on the #resistance superhighway.”

In other words Franken is just another broken egg to make an omelet.

This is in order to set up outrage against Roy Moore, when he wins the election. Nothing more.

Humphrey was a conservative compared to Franken.

Humphrey is probably the last Democrat I had the slightest bit of respect for.
