Senator Al Franken Resigns
Saw this coming like a freight train...like many others here on FR.
after the moore election. if moore wins franken will stay.
After Moore wins, it wouldn’t surprise me if Franken stays put.

Not really.
Donald Trump is one of the richest men in the world and he has empathy for the common person. Trump had no need to ‘get a woman’ by groping or any cheap tricks that Francken engaged in. I will never believe any fabricated assertions against President Trump that the left is pushing. Trump was egged on by Billy Bush to engage in some private talk about women who throw themselves at celebrities, that does not mean he’s a rapist. Don’t try to nullify my vote with this sh$$.
simulated resignation.
pending mood swing.
LOLOL.
He was too busy tooting his own horn, while patting his own back, to bring honor himself or We the Cushy Congressional Retirement Package Payers!
As predicted, Senator Frankenstein’s pretend piousness is a backdrop for the campaign against Moore, which is why it is being put forth now instead of a week from now.
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.
The people of Crete resent your comparison ...
He is a cretin. No doubt about that.
You know how sometimes you can tell someone’s political views just by looking at them? Tina Smith sure has the Marxist far left look lol...
Yep.
“And in his remarks he is setting up the attack on Roy Moore and President Trump.”
Bingo - 100% of why the Dim leaders wanted Franken to resign.
Personally, I’m not I heard of any allegations against Franken that would have been considered a violation of law. Are any of his accusers suing him in a civil suit?
Is “reported allegations”, not something proven in court, the new public standard of “guilty”? Are Conservatives not mindful that that can be 100% of what the Left is trying to achieve in all this, as in: it’s the severity of the allegations that matter, not the veracity of any evidence.
I cannot stand Franken and I am not defending him on any issue. I do question the process of “guilt” everyone is buying into, often only because it is at some moment running against someone they don’t like.
Franken is a piece of garbage.
Trump never “bragged” that he sexual assaulted women.
He said there are women out there who will allow celebrities to do anything to them, including grabbing them by the BLEEP.
“He wants to resign after January 3 to protect his pension.”
Good insight. He has to resign today, but doesn’t want to until some fiscal milestone passes - so he announces that he will resign thereafter.
the voters in MN elected Norm Coleman
The vote counters in MN elected Franken
and what would you do?
The dead ones who voted for him? Well, they’re dead and still voting.
“I know in my heart that I have done nothing that brought dishonor on this institution.”
Translated: Ted Kennedy already put everyone here under a cloud, and you were all OK with it. What more could I do?
And if Congress were serious about the “integrity” of this once honorable body they would INSIST that members who besmirch it be denied ALL future benefits.
