(338 posts)The accusers are largely either anonymous or hardly a case to be pushed out of the Senate with no investigation or chance for redemption . In the case of being handsy in photosNone show this. Tweed herself has video of her being very handsy on stage with one of the male USO entertainers. And she was a buddy of Hannitys so sorry, she led this and was not credible but of course, the press and the Dems didnt push back.
Kissing two guests on his Air America show? Did his staff corroborate this consistent pattern of behavior? So, a few accusation of tush groping, attempted kissing and anonymous propositions to enter a bathroom is a reason to be kicked out of the Senate in the Trump era???!
Having a few instances of being an ALLEGED creep that didnt adhere to boundaries back in the era when it was somewhat acceptable is not a reason to tar and feather without due process, especially when half the American people voted for a god damn p-grabber. He could have been censured and that would have been how the Senate handles punishment, beyond the costs and embarrassment of the accusations.
This is what I mean about the Dems playing by rules that havent been relevant since Jimmy Carter was president and even then, they were waning. That is why we are in the horrible political positions we are in today. FOCUS on what is important and understand the real enemy we are up against.
Franken is brilliant and an honorable man that was a threat to the Reich Wing. He was a model senator who tried to carry his dear friend Sen. Paul Wellstones legacy and mission to help the People and fight truth to power. The Reich Wing played the oldest trick in the book against him and you and others took the bait and will never admit it. Well, you won a perfect being the enemy of the good battle but lost the war with losing Franken in the senate.
