The list of potential appointees is pretty horrible.

That’s the problem with term limits. Where’s the joy in seeing a bunch of old leftist Democrats replaced with a bunch of new leftist Democrats? Not sure we have anything to gain from replacing an old Republican with a young Republican either. The young ones are probably ready to write same-sex marriage support into the platform.

He should’ve said if Roy Moore loses, he’ll resign but if Roy Moore wins, he’ll stay. Would make for an interesting choice for Alabama voters...a Moore/Franken ticket, LOL.

He said there are women out there who will allow celebrities to do anything to them, including grabbing them by the BLEEP.

If that constitutes rape (as contrasted to Clinton's actual rape with violence) then we are just beginning to deal with progressive Dim rapists in many political, media and entertainment groups.
We've just seen the tip of the iceberg.

I agree with Miss Marmelstein, Perv Al’s opus on the senate floor was nasty, bitter and arrogant. No contrition, no humility, no basic human decency.

He essentially called his victims liars, and stated that he would have been completely exonerated by the Senate ethics committee. And of course, he threw out the false statement that DJT is a sexual assaulter. Perv Al knows there’ s a senate rule that a senator cannot be sued for what he says on the senate floor—which is why the cowardly POS made the false accusation on the senate floor.

Franken is not really resigning. He is waiting to see what happens in Alabama.

If Moore wins, Franken will take back his resignation saying that the voters just voted for a known groper (Moore), so he (Franken) will not resign and instead ask Minnesota voters to determine his fate in 2020.

Frankin and the democrats are putting on a farce, a ruse to get Alabama voters to vote for Moore’s opponent.

Like millions of others, you have 20/20 hindsight.

There's no shame in that.
More often than not, the clarity of intent is only certain after a good scammer "does his thing."
Like having been paid by the Clinton Charitable Foundation, for example.

Franken has not resigned. He has promised to resign.

No matter what happens in Alabama, Franken will not resign in two weeks.

If Moore wins, Franken will say that the voters in Alabama have passed judgement, and sent a known perv to the Senate, so why should he have to go?

If Moore loses, Franken will say that the voters in Alabama have voted for Democratic leadership, and so it is his duty to stay.

The whole purpose of this announcement today is to provide a club to beat Alabama voters over the head, to get them to vote against Moore and for the Extreme Liberal Democrat Candidate (whose name escapes me).

After the votes are cast, this announcement and any promises made are no longer operative.

Note that Franken said that he could not discharge his duties while under investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee, that well known collection of pit-bulls which has never called for the removal of any Senator ever.

The Senate Ethics Committee will recommend something other than expulsion, Franken will declare vindication, and he will stay on.

You a pu$$y cat too, or would you rather due process?

Once you buy into political pu$$y whipping, you are WAY down the rabbit hole against the Constitution.

How could the people of Minnesomalia vote for such a clown? Is this what a senator looks like? He should have kept that disguise while in office.

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

I said What to your statement:
“Fauxahontus can’t demand Franken resign, she has had too many slumber parties of her own in the past.

Yep, Fauxahontus has a pimp bill to pay, so she remains saddled with keeping her yap shut.”

I was wondering what I missed on Fauxahontus, maybe you should take your meds.

Well, we had a Kenyan representing Illinois, before become the President of the UNA...(United Nations of America). BHO was never an American, just a Globalist dictator wannabe.

A significant number of the voters in that state were phoney.
