(16,954 posts)Hillary should take her Senate seat back.
I wonder if Gillibrand would support her husband being sent home because some anonymous women say he touched their waist while taking a picture.
Writing hrc in in the next senate election assuming G runs and Im here to vote. Shes lost my vote. Fortunately I never liked her and never donated to her campaigns. If anyone worthy campaigns against her Ill donate to them

I'm still going to do what I can to let Gillibrand know that since she took the Clinton's endorsement and now says Bill should have resigned that Gillibrand needs to excuse herself. What a hypocrite. I've never paid much attention to her, so that's interesting to see that you never liked her. She has jumped on the wrong bandwagon and completely alienated people.
Loved your input here! Hillary for New York Senate.
Thanks 😊 There was no choice but her and of course I voted dem. No Ill not vote for her anymore. Or for Schumer most likely. This is too much. I wish Hillary would run again shed win.

(16,954 posts)There is no equivalence between women on TV telling a story of a grown man poaching them and anonymous people saying their waist was touched while taking a picture.

(16,954 posts)that the USO SHOW has put on with other comedians literally for DECADES. The "victim" was doing some leg humping of her own in that setting. That's how the SHOW works. That photo was some clowning around. Note he's smiling for the camera. He wasn't surreptitiously photographed. He was clowning around, bad taste, but it was not out of the ordinary for that SHOW or that setting in general.
The line about the kiss in the USO SHOW was a line he used for years. You must know there are videos of him saying that exact line on other women in that same SHOW.
And the first clue that the "victim" was not totally genuine was that she never called out the SHOW as being disrespectful towards women and calling for it to end. That is one of the most vile settings that caters to young men overseas, so LeAnn should have called for an end to the SHOW as we know it and replace it with something more supportive of women, but she couldn't be bothered with that as she knows that would be an unpopular position. She was just after Franken to blame things on. Hmmm.
And he resigned because he was railroaded by the so-called leadership of his party. Look at his full statement and you'll see how he states that the accused GOP'ers get their party's full support.
QUIT making false equivalencies. This is a waste of time.

(6,931 posts)Yeah,she was so groped by Franken she just HAD to put an arm around him and her hand on his shoulder.

(6,931 posts)She got a big HOOT out of a couple of guys in the show with zippers down and a finger coming out like a COCK--said they were "being silly" Franken takes a pic while she's asleep and she goes to pieces.
Tell us again this is ALL about groping and nothing to do with politics.

(120 posts)I find some of them MORE credible than most of the ones against Franken. They were better researched and corroborated.
Credible allegations do NOT equal guilt. A proper investigation and hearing should be required before guilt and punishment are determined.
Moore should have a chance to defend himself at the Senate Ethics Committee if he is elected.
Franken should have gotten that opportunity also.

(14,167 posts)Minnesota is only a stone's throw from Illinois and I visit all the time. I liked to think Senator Franken represented all of us.
I can't believe our own jealous, spineless, and overly ambitious Democrats railroaded a man like him.
He's demonstrated that he has more class and caring than the people who called for his resignation.

(11,843 posts)A handful of anonymous people, a bunch of trolls, and his ratfucking colleagues negated my vote.
I haven't felt like this for 15 years, when we lost Wellstone.
