Tim Kaine (MSNBC) says a "new standard" has been established around sexual conduct (but for who?)

Is this just for DEMS? Noble yes, but I have not heard one republican agree to this.

They are content with a predator (president) and pedophile (Moore) and not giving a damn about it.

Unless we see a sea change of attitude from righties (very unlikely), I don't see any positive path forward to hold them accountable.

Is there any advantage to drawing a contrast? We better find one!!!

We know the Thugs won't change their behavior. But now Democrats actually have standing to call them out on it.

Do you honestly think that Moore's supporters are going to care what the Democrats have to say? Little old ladies in Alabama are still going to vote for Moore, because he isn't a Democrat!

Big deal, so that Democrats have standing to call out the Republicans, but they won't...as evidenced by their silence regarding Trump!!!

To hard core Republicans, what Franken did won't make a difference!

of blake farentold, (R-TX)

it made me laugh out loud.

this guy paid out 84,000 dollars (of taxpayer money) to a victim, yet he was exonerated by the ethics commission and he's still a representative...

and i'll bet he goes nowhere...


this standard will only be applied to democrats

otherwise, the 'president' would step down and roy moore would drop out of the senate race

don't they always, they play dirty but if Moore steps foot in the Senate, those women Senators will go after him, with more vengeance than Senator Franken. Let's see what that pig McConnell says just wait he will get his too.
