I have never been more mad and sick to my stomach then right now.
A honorable and decent Senator railroaded out of office by smears while our democracy dies before our eyes.
How much more can we take?

This is a sad moment for Democrats, democracy and our nation.

They couldn't have done it without us.

We are shattered now
Our Democratic leadership has failed us.
By not having a strategy to defend Al they have caused this.
Now we are cannibalizing.

4. That is the threat.
This kind of thing does NOT bring people to the polls. It causes them to say “**** it” and stay home.

While we lose one of the strongest liberal voices in the Senate. Well played Gillibrand. I hope clearing the competition out of the way for 2020 will be worth it for you. Hate her.

You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell
Putin, Russia, the KGB, Trump, Stone, Bannon, Kushner, etc. are laughing themselves silly at how stupid this move was on the part of Franken and all of the Democrats.

I hope you dumb Mf'ers are happy. You ran out a great positive in the Democratic party and lost the support of millions. Great job democratic leaders.
And there's plenty more where that came from.

Some of the recent accusers were democrats. :rofl:

At some point they are going to realize that, probably after nobody shows up to vote in 2018.

It is official.
My schadenboner now is a planetary object that requires new star charts.
I know frankengroper will temporarily be replaced by someone worse. But the joy at the sadness at DU is far too exquisite. Tears like fine wine -- to be enjoyed at leisure.
But I wish they would put themselves out of their and our misery. That would be the cherry on top!

Have to have a bit of fun with this one . . .

19. Democrats forgave Ted Kennedy, the Lion of the Senate, for many things.
(Ted was a flawed man but we all forgave him for so many things, such as fracturing the party by primarying a sitting Dem President, and some flaws that included allegations of misconduct with women and some other legal matters) But good dog, where would we be without having Ted Kennedy in the Senate for his long tenure? If he'd been run out after some of those accusations or never gotten into office?
Democrats forgave Bill Clinton for many things, as he was/is a flawed and at the time, overly-sexual, possibly even aggressive, man sitting in the Oval Office. I don't condone the actions, but instead state the obvious - people are complicated and are neither purely saintly nor purely evil.
I would have been more than willing to allow Al Franken to learn from any mistakes, to be censured, to repent and to learn enough about this issue to later become a champion for women in our cause against sexual harassment and assault.
But thanks, Perez and leadership, thanks.
Because everyone knows killing a girl and raping more than one are forgivable offenses so long as you have a (d) after your name.

He hasn’t stepped down yet, which will only keep the issue alive and pointed at him. The Dems should have demanded not only an immediate resignation but an apology from Franken to all the women for claiming that the events either didn’t happen or he remembered them differently. Now they’re stuck with him for who knows how much longer.
.

Maybe we are having too much fun at the expense of the DUmmies?
Maybe we should show some compassion in their time of trial?
Naw :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

No, he resigned.
On edit and after rereading his speech, I see he said he WILL resign in the next few weeks. If you wish to chastise me, please feel free. I will apologize in the next few weeks.

Yeah...no.
Meanwhile, I can imagine Herman Cain having a good, loud guffaw right about now.

Franken tried to compare his actions and consequences to the accused actions against Trump and Moore. Sounded real petty and weak doing it.
I hope Al remembers had Moore not taken the lead in Alabama he still would be a senator.
I hope all the dem women realize it took 7 reliable accusers and a close election in a Southern state before the female dem senators finally asked Franken to resign.
-
The funniest part is that the DUmbasses have no idea they have been played. Franken was used and discarded. He knows it too. But ideology comes first no matter what.

Will it be a female or Keith Ellison to replace him? Democrat governor, so Dayton can pick whomever he wants. Doesn't really affect much.

To those celebrating Franken's leaving...
You really, really suck.
Whether this is alerted or not is irrelevant.
Whether or not you come back with the usual assholery is also irrelevant.
Whether not you are paid trolls working from a script or simply misguided losers between jobs with nothing better to do is irrelevant.
There are a lot of people out there watching and not commenting here and they know this whole thing is bullshit.
You really, really suck.

Well that was completely uncalled for. It kind of takes some of the fun out of it and it hurts a little.

I still want to know what fricken democracy are these tards speaking of?

He can't leave fast enough, he got in on some suspicious vote counting. Iwas watching Tucker Carlson last night and he really can't stand him, he called him a lot of ugly things, that he deserved.

Other than that, I TOTALLY agree!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

I heard the MN Lt. Gov. will step in for the year Frankenface has left.
Yeah, I know, big whoop... But even a rock would be an improvement over Al the perv...

He is being remarkably coy about just 'When' his resignation is going to take effect. As long as he's still in the seat, their 'Moral high ground' BS isn't going to get any traction, outside the True Blue Believers.

It could be he is just waiting for the Christmas graft envelopes to be passed out. And to grab some ass at the Christmas party. :-)

@SvPete
You and the others may be right. The ONE think Franken is NOT know for is being modest and caring for others.
Which tells me he is either waiting for things to calm down before saying he changed his mind,or he is wait for the deposits to clear the off-shore banks.
-

I think he is waiting until after the Alabama election.

@thundley4
I would almost be willing to bet money that is why the DNC is not insisting he step down immediately. Their morality is ALWAYS conditional.

I think you are right, the power and money are just to good to walk away from, specially for a wanker like him. He has no where else to go .
-

I would almost bet the Franken will withdraw his resignation after Moore wins his election.
