why aren't Dem senators calling on Trump to resign everyday if he's been accused by 20+ women?

[SHRED]

1. This is so FUBAR

[RKP5637]

2. Excellent Question!!!!!!! The dems often seem so damn lacking in dealing with the GOP. n/t

[RexCasual]

3. Damned good question. . .

I wish I had an answer for you.

[SergeStorms]

21. Trump never admitted to anything.

Franken took responsibility and apologized to these women, even if he didn't do anything. He apologized for them feeling like he did something. Read that again, he apologized for them feeling like he did something.

A Republican will NEVER do that. NEVER! They're incapable of feelings. Furthermore, they will never apologize for anything, even if they did do it!

It's just the basic difference between a Democrat and a Republican. Democrats are decent people who have empathy for other's pain. Republicans don't give a shit about other people's pain!

That's the difference. It's not equitable, it's not fair, but it is what it is. Democrats either have to change the way they handle situations such as this, or they have to surrender to the Republicans dirty god-damned tricks and stop whining. I say we take some Republican names, and kick some Republican ass. This will not sit well with many Democrats delicate sensibilities, however. We have to choose. Which is it? Are we always going to be victims of GOP dirty tricks, or are we going to toughen up and kick some ass?

25. Trump admitted a lot

On the Access tape

[SergeStorms]

41. He didn't admit....

to any specific crime or offense. What he said was horrid, but he's never admitted to any specific charge against him. He's denied them all.

[Motley13]

30. oh yes he did, "grab them by the pussy, start kissing them"

oh I forgot, he said that wasn't his voice, fake voice, fake video, must have been Hillary in disguise

[SergeStorms]

38. He did NOT ADMIT to anything......

the women in question accused him of. Yes, his remarks on the Access Hollywood tape would seem to suggest he's entirely capable of such things, but he did not admit to doing anything to the women who've accused him of being a sexual predator. On the contrary, he's denied all claims of any guilt whatsoever.

Sorry if the truth upsets you. I said these things would go against many Democrats' sensibilities. They will, but the fact remains that Republicans never admit to anything. NEVER. Even with insurmountable evidence against them, they still deny, deny, deny. That's how they win. They have no conscience, and no integrity. But they win.

[Motley13]

42. he has admitted to going into Miss Teenage Am dressing rooms to catch

them w/o clothes, if nothing else it proves he is a lecher by his own words

[SergeStorms]

50. Really?

Again, he has not admitted guilt to anyone that has accused him of sexual impropriety.

Is he a scuzz-bag? Without question. These other PUBLIC SERVANTS have been accused of sexual improprieties. Trump was a private citizen at the time of that pageant. Trump was a private citizen when these sexual improprieties were alleged to have happened. But as "president" he has denied all wrongdoing. IF he were like the Democrats and admitted to these sexual improprieties, and he failed to resign, then there's more of a basis on which to stand for his removal on those grounds, BUT REPUBLICANS NEVER ADMIT TO ANYTHING.

I hope you understand the difference now. No malice intended. Peace.

[mainstreetonce]

44. He clearly said he got away with it

which means he did it.

[Cattledog]

4. Because they are politically weak.

This is a no brainer but they have kept quiet.

[demmiblue]

5. The fuck if I know.

I am losing a lot of respect for some today.

[loyalsister]

7. He got elected

No standard has been set for not having sexual predators in powerful positions. It's up to the people who gave him power to hold him accountable. They are his "boss" so to speak.

[cynatnite]

8. Agreed. They should every damn day.n/t

[Bettie]

9. Because we only attack

our own.

Hands off the other side, it's "going high", apparently.

Oh, and keeping our powder dry....or some such shit.

[Bengus81]

10. Now 24 DEMS want Franken out..........

Good,let's LOSE even more elections. What...do those FOOLS think if Franken steps down than **POOF** Roy Moore bye bye??

Yeah...they probably do. We LOSE,they WIN...........

[HipChick]

20. Up to 30 now..

[dalton99a]

52. It's 35 now

it's a freaking stampede

[Kimchijeon]

11. easier to kick the dog at home than it would be to stand up to the abusive boss

I guess... the fascists using predictable self-defeating behavior to their neverending glee. They are laughing their asses off at how stupid Dems are right now. Fell for it, easy pickings.

Disgusting and unforgivable.

[Roland99]

12. THIS!!!!

[NCTraveler]

13. They dont call on anyone to resign everyday.

They seem to attack Trump relentlessly.

[Sunsky]

14. Exactly

I'm so upset right now. The message being sent out from DC is- deny deny deny and victim shame your way to being welcomed there.

[malaise]

15. Precisely

They should have boycotted the inauguration

[spedtr90]

16. Because every once in a while this is unfortunately true...

?w=292&h=300

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Exactly what I asked the DNC when I left phone message.

[ancianita]

18. Good for you. I'ma do that, too.

[bdamomma]

48. I called the DNC too

I said what about the person in the WH who said he's a genital grabber.

[softfls]

19. I can't believe

the ganging up on Franken by dems. Do they think makes a goddamn bit of difference to repuke voters? This "moral high ground" they're pretending to take means absolutely nothing! The pukes support trump and moore. WTF do they care except they get to take down another dem with the dems doing the taking down!! This is absolutely insane! This country is done and finished! The next thing we'll see is the dems supporting trump for re-election!

[ffr]

36. Yep, there will be nobody left to speak up. The war on the left continues from 2016.

[Joe941]

22. I believe they have called for him to resign - i hear about it a lot.

[Cattledog]

26. Post a link.

[Joe941]

29. here is one.

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/340109-dem-calls-on-trump-to-resign-after-tweets-about-msnbc-hosts-appearance

Al gore has called for trump to resign too but he isn't in congress of course.

[zentrum]

23. Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say this makes the Dems "take the high road". No. It's just the Dems taking the weak road of capitulation.

I'm disgusted.

I'm a female who's been harassed many times and worse and I stand by Al.

[Fresh_Start]

24. Franken should resign when Trump resigns...and not a minute sooner nt

nt

[hueymahl]

27. If the Democratic party had any backbone at all, THIS would have been the strategy.

Instead, we are confirming all of our detractors worst stereotypes - week, easily intimidated, hypocritical, easily manipulated and, worst of all, more concerned about our politically correct image than actually getting shit done.

Instead, we have a goddamn circular firing squad at work.

[humbled_opinion]

31. Exactly n/t

[Kirk Lover]

28. YEAH WHY NOT...I hear NARY a peep about this Trashbag resigning.

[TheDebbieDee]

32. BECAUSE THEY'RE SPINELESS!

How can they ever stand up for us if they won't stand up for each other?!?!

[ffr]

35. I'm thinking of changing party affiliation to NP out of protest

This is beyond ridiculous. We need Al Franken. He's a badass senator. It's obvious why he's being railroaded by the right, but the left?

FUCK!

[BannonsLiver]

40. I may change mine as well

A Dem since my first election in 1992 but the party is losing me quickly. Perez and a whole bunch of others need to go or get with the program. We are at war with republicans and Russians for our future.

[bdamomma]

49. He is a badass Senator

why don't the Dems go after tRump for his genital grabbing???? and putting Roy Moore in??? WTF, things are spiraling out of control. Plus tRump is going to start unrest in the Middle East. I can't stand this anymore, get the fucking guy out.

[ffr]

33. And papers like that in Minnesota that's taking a stand against Al Franken

WTF!

Total double standard! And tRump has almost certainly undermined our democracy, working with an adversary before, during and after an election. Nobody speaking up or taking a stand about that.

FUCK!

[trueblue2007]

34. Replying to @SenFranken Please do not resign. Due process fight this.

Replying to @SenFranken

Please do not resign. Due process fight this. Country over party. This seems too much like a hit job.
You are great at your job. I’m #MeToo and believe you should stay

Let an Investigation take over to fight these NAMELESS "victims" ....... Victims my foot.

#MeToo ..... when I was 25 and I will not be just a nameless baby.

[ffr]

37. I said much the same in mine. Thank you!

[DFW]

39. Even they know the fundamental truth

IOKIYAR

[LisaL]

43. Trump run as a Republican. So obviously it's fine.

[cwydro]

45. Good question.

Not to mention that Shitgibbon is batshit crazy.

[mindfulNJ]

46. Great question

This is so fucked up. 😡

[XRubicon]

47. This is a very good question.
