(6,994 posts)Remember Trump the "pussy grabber" admission saying "I can do this because I'm a celebrity"
and this Fascist wanna be dictator is still in office?
While Al Franken accusers have no valid proof.
This is/was a set-up against Franken up by Fascist Republican operatives from the beginning.
I believe somewhere in the shadows of these Franken allegations there could be Jeff Session's operatives finding these women that were associated with Franken in the past that are Trump supporters ....this is the way these Fascists operate..
Republican Fascists play dirty while Democrats don't want to tarnish their image with the voters and dont fight back.
In this case Democrats threw Franken to the wild dogs.

(2,396 posts)The GD president of the United States has seventeen accusers and there's NO rallying of Congressional Dems to tar and feather him and run him out of town on a rail!
Instead they let ALL of trump's bullshit slide with maybe a faint pooh-pooh and a flutter of a handkerchief while they cannibalize one of the few strong voices that actually fight for us!

(28,270 posts)Donald Trump remains in the Oval Office despite being caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women. While other powerful men have faced consequences for sexual misconduct, the Republican Party has allowed Trump to evade accountability.
By Oliver Willis DECEMBER 7, 2017
Donald Trump was revealed 425 days ago to have made an admission on tape that he sexually assaulted women, and was proud of it. He remains in the office of the presidency, even as other powerful men in politics and business have lost their positions over similar allegations.
There was a period of 14 days between the revelations of sexual misconduct by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and the announcement that he would resign. For Sen. Al Franken, it was 21 days.
