And to add insult to injury, Alabama is on the cusp of putting a pedophile in the senate.

Sigh.

... turn the lens on eltrumpf nonstop by stating "and just how many women have come out so far 16, 20 against eltrumpf?" As for Franken...for pete's stop aplogizing! He has apologize numerous times. Enough! Just leave it and focus on his work.

Now, if an accuser takes it's further and if there are facts that lead to a crime, well then, of course that will be an issue, then of course there should be accountability. Yet, until then, in America one is innocent until proven guilty.

Also, any dem senator or pundit not standing by Franken is falling right into the repubs narrative.

and we always destroy our own.

We've lost and we don't even see it yet.

Moore will be in the senate, welcomed wholeheartedly by those who demanded Franken's resignation, the 2018 elections will be lost due to smear ads about how Rep X and Senator Y may have touched someone's butt...look, they had their picture taken with this person!

Meanwhile, a rapist lives in the White House and that's fucking OK!

This is why we have the reputation of being wimps. We don't fight. We always roll over. I'm sick of it. They aren't resigning, they aren't apologizing. Fuck this noise!

Going high isn't fucking working.

15. Democrats are often totally gutless. That's why I often get really pissed at the democratic party.

They should say fuck you, we're staying until the GOP cleans house! The democratic party is often its own worst enemy IMO!

16. Yep, we see this often. Toughness seems to have left the democratic party. Now, it's often gutless

and reacts to GOP hostilities with a smile, being more R, or slinking away!!! I was raised way back with tough democratic politicians in my family. No way would they have even remotely caved in to the GOP!!!
