1. Keep at em..keep at em. They deflect n change the subject.

4. Al kicked her ass

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Of course he did! He still follows what's going on as closely as ever and he's as smart as they come

I was fortunate to see his live show last November when it came to my area (Albany, NY) and he spoke for over 2 hours with only a microphone, a stool and three glasses of water - and got a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd!

21. Would love to have seen him! He's a brilliant man!

[Rhiannon12866]

22. He absolutely is!

And while he was speaking, he also drew one of those U.S. maps he's known for, adding every state from memory. He offered to sign it and donate to a local Democratic charity!

[Bluepinky]

23. That's cool!

👍

2. Thank you, Al!

I'm constantly amazed at how many people miss the point. The SC didn't give "the people" the right to decide. They took the right to decide away from the "the people" who ACTUALLY have to make the decision.

7. They have

done that in my state too. They won’t give us a chance to vote on it. I feel like a lot of republicans believe in the right to choose but wouldn’t dare tell anybody.

[dchill]

8. They ALL believe in THEIR right to choose.

3. Bravo. I'd trade Al for that silly NY Senator Kirsten Gillibrand who led the charge...

to get him out of the Senate. He totally defeated Stewart's argument and had her stuttering because she couldn't back up her contentions on how the corrupt make up of SCOTUS came to be. It was because of McTurle/republican machinations of course.

9. Yea you, you said it! Gillibrand cost Democrats Franken in the Senate.

All this silly nitwit had to respond with was "sanctity of life". Al brings up the 10 year old rape victim and she had nothing. Shameful twit. Acosta should have been able to force her to respond to that question and still keep his job. But CNN sees clearly how the American democracy might just wake up and refuse to take the deal from the actual 0.0001% any longer. So CNN gets in line and provides lip service for General Bullmoose. And trump still walks around free to sell secrets.

15. We have SO needed Senator Al Franken ever since he was driven out by his own party.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. And we sure could use him now more than ever!

[Baitball Blogger]

5. Most excellent.

[Skittles]

6. loves me some AL

PUSH BACK AT THESE LIARS AND HYPOCRITES....PUSH BACK HARD

[Rhiannon12866]

16. He's still the best!

[hatrack]

10. He demanded facts, and she shows up with tired, limp talking points

Whatever she's paid, it's too fucking much.

[brush]

11. Don Lemon took her to the woodshed recently on show...

when he had to keep pushing back with her claims on the stolen docs case.

She's paid too much all right. OTOH, they couldn't pay me enough to do that job armed with just bullshit talking points.

[hauckeye]

12. I wish Franken would run again

[Rhiannon12866]

17. Same here!

[Hekate]

13. What a loss to the Senate. Thank gods he is still speaking out

[Rhiannon12866]

19. It's great to see him back on the air! I tuned into his Air America sow back in the day

It was actually on TV, on Sundance latenight. :

14. A must watch
