Make the other guy live by his own rules! Nice to see the Alinksy boomerang hitting Dems.

Word on the street is another shoe is going to fall tomorrow. Another sitting U.S. Senator will be outed as a perv.

All this helps Judge Moore. People see if you go back 20, 30, 40 years for anyone you’ll either find an accuser willing to lie or find actual evidence of something stupid they did.

Democrats will be the net losers of this game though. They have the biggest number of perverts, but the GOPe is close!

“Did ya read the leftist woman who,after viewing this pic, said he really didn’t touch her?”

I didn’t!

However, any lies the left wingers hurl out to defend Franken, Biden and other Harvey’s does not surprise me!

TRANSLATION: “We have to get Moore, and if we must sacrifice Stuart Smalley in the process, so be it.”

I don’t think we want to smack this tar baby, even though the Democrats smacked it first.

A) In 2016, the Left equates a joke Trump made about how sleazy show business was with Trump admitting to sexual assault. The attack prevent Trump from being elected though.

B) Leftist women get outraged that it did not work and puts on "pussy hats" and marches, screams, and shouts about how horribly Trump treated women etc.

C) Leftist men virtue signal along with the Leftist women.

D) Women who have been victims of sexual assault and harassment notice the hypocrisy of many of the more powerful Leftist men and start speaking up about cases, resulting in the careers of sexual predators being ruined as they are exposed.

E) Leftist women try to expand the wave of speaking to include "toxic masculinity" and just being a man without apologetically supporting Leftist causes.

F) Meanwhile the momentum is also used as a weapon against a conservative politician (Moore, whom I don't know is guilty or not). And immediately starts to backfire on predators like Franklin.

It isn’t going to happen, so don’t worry about it.

I'm afraid that Senate Democrats might convince Al Franken to resign solely to put pressure on Moore to step down.

They assume that Franken's seat is safe, and Franken now provides cover for Moore for as long as he remains in the Senate. Moore as much as said so this morning, calling on McConnell to call for Franken to resign.

That could backfire on Moore and actually increase pressure on Moore to follow Franken's example despite no credible evidence against Moore.

Yep good point. Comedians of the past were not into all this sexual innuendo, dirty jokes, all of that.

Yes I know somebody will bring up Lenny Bruce or Redd Foxx. I am thinking more about what was seen on TV or movies. There were actually some standards of decency.

It’s the Swamp’s only logical response. They can’t effectively double-down on Moore now. This was a brilliant strike (IMHO by Bannon) that puts the Swamp on notice...they are target rich. If they attempt to hit back now all Hell breaks loose and they lose.

They have to get rid of Franken...I think they pay him a monstrous amount of money to go away and never be heard from again. Still, this effectively stops the assault on Moore. And there are many, many more in the Swamp with giant targets on their backs. And now we have someone not afraid to nuke them.
