1. We need to remember those who bought the GOP line on this! Nm

[SHRED]

2. Starting with Tom Perez

[Kimchijeon]

4. Yep gee wonder why Perez is there not Ellison??

Makes one revisit some uncomfortable truths I suppose. No way Ellison would fall for this garbage. Oh but lets just cave and spinelessly fall for the traps. Self-immolating every time. Great job guys!!

[dalton99a]

6. +1

[Kimchijeon]

3. He better not. He is one of the few good ones in there.

Taking note, all these moronic enablers who are falling for this. Pathetic.

[ananda]

5. No way!

Franken is a good guy.

I guess the Dems are jumping on the Reep railroad.

This scares me and disgusts me.

Where can we go if Dems turn on other good Dems
just because the rightwing machine does a hitjob????

[AirmensMom]

7. Noooooooo!

What can we do to stop this?

[Bengus81]

8. Ohh goody!! Then we can get another Trump voting NEO CON in his seat......

Without a SINGLE word of testimony from any of these women. Bannon and O'Keefe are LAUGHING their collective ASSES off on just how EASY this was to do.

Next,Bernie Sanders.............

[GatoGordo]

20. Minnesotas governor (Mark Dayton) is a Democrat

He is a former US Senator himself. He won't sit anything but a faithful Democrat in Franken's seat.

However, things aren't so cut and dried come election time. Minnesota is an island surrounded by red. The Republicans will be gunning for that seat, as well as several congressional seats.

21. He'll be out of there so fast peeps heads will spin....

How long until Nov 2018?

9. Just sent Wyden a note

Told him it was his job to support Franken and make certain he stays in the Senate. Who is the right wing going to attack next? Sherrod Brown? Kamala Harris? Ron Wyden?

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. The assholes just keep winning

[tazkcmo]

11. Then we may as well give up.

Our country is truly gone if this happens. Serial molesters and rapists sit or will sooon sit at the very top of our government while we burn a good man at the steak for boorish behavior. The wealthy have bought our government and are proceeding to plunder our nation and it's people while committing what ever crimes they please because they own the courts, legislators and the presidency. To make it worse, we have Democrats stoking the flames that are consuming a feared and hated opponent of the criminal GOPee in Senator Franken thus furthering the goals of our new masters.

Senator Franken, please, stay and help us fight. If you quit this fight then how will you be able to rally us?

[Owl]

15. Well said.

[IronLionZion]

12. Dems don't want to investigate and find all the facts first?

[Jakes Progress]

19. Of course not. Losers don't need no proof.

We gotta get in the news cycle. Fuck constituents.

[mountain grammy]

13. I've contacted every Democratic Senator calling for his resignation

to say I disagree! I emphatically disagree.

[softfls]

14. Franken

This is the most obvious hit job ever! I am appalled at the way Franken, the BEST DEM Senator EVER, has been treated by members of his own party! Shame on everyone who supports his resignation!

[ananda]

16. What Deutsche Bank? What tax bill?

What Reep obstruction of justice?

What escalation of tensions and violence in the ME,
leading to higher oil prices?

[L. Coyote]

17. I expect Franken will be honest and truthful tomorrow. Meanwhile:

[Iggo]

18. So our guys are resigning, but they're electing pedophiles.

This is how we win!!!!

[cp]

22. Hey Wyden, I expect Franken to fight

And I expect you to have his back. This is a set-up.

[paleotn]

23. Bight me, Wyden.
