    Have you seen the newest quote from Pelosi? It's AMAZING.

    https://news.grabien.com/story-pelosi-legalizing-daca-god-us

    "But I'm optimistic," she said. "I always have been. God is with us on this. Our country is great. We know that greatness springs from the vitality that newcomers bring to our country."

    OMG it gets better and better.

    Democrats are panicking so hard they're becoming Republicans.

    To be accurate, he did not resign; he said he would resign in a few weeks. A little loophole there???[/QUOTE]


    It was a Fake Resignation. I believe he said he would resign in weeks to come. Will look for his exact words.

    I find this so ironic, for here we have Franken, a big mouthed faux liberal, who would crucify Moore if he got the chance, acting from a position of utter hypocrisy, and he ends up being guilty of what dems are supposed to abhor, even if their party is filled to the brim with hypocrites, like hillary as she defended bill and went after his victims, and the sexual predator that is bill clinton.

    When these hypocritical democrats, get nailed for what they act like, they would never do, and it is only the other side that are despicable sexual predator bastards, well, it is a great day when this happens! The groping does not bother me as much as the hypocrisy from these pinheads. The groping should be dealt with by a hard slap and a knee to the testicles. It always worked when I was younger, and many times turned the gropers into reformed human beings.

    More fake news. I don't ever recall you condemning Joe Biden for all the creepy perverted stuff he always did. Remember when he whispered in that little girl's ear and then tried to kiss her face?

    Give me a link to where Doug Jones has stated that abortions should be restricted late in pregnancy to cases of severe fetal abnormality.

    You won't find it. Your not so clever word games aside, Jones favors abortion, for any reason, right up to the instant before natural birth. That's a horrible position, he holds it, you know it, I know it, the People of Alabama know it.

    Yes but he assured us he used his time in the Senate to be a "champion for women".

    Who the hell cares? Abortion is between a woman and her doctor, not a loud mouthed partisan on a forum, or a fake Christian zealot lying sack of **** pedophile.

    Franken said he will resign “in the coming weeks.”

    WTF does that mean?

    Either you resigned or you didn't.

    There is no “in the coming weeks.”

    I guarantee you that if Moore wins, Franken won't resign.

    The differences between Democrat and Republican politicians, for the most part, are just sound and fury accompanied by smoke and mirrors.

    “[T]he running existential contradictions of D.C., a place where “authenticity and fantasy are close companions”, as the Washington Post’s Henry Allen once wrote. It misses that the city, far from being hopelessly divided, is in fact hopelessly interconnected. It misses the degree to which New Media has democratized the political conversation while accentuating Washington's insular, myopic, and self loving tendencies. It misses, most of all, a full examination of how Washington may not serve the country well but has, in fact, worked splendidly for Washington itself– A city of beautifully busy people constantly writing the story of their own lives.” Mark Leibovich, This Town, Penguin Books, 2013, p. 10.

    What snide Twitter comments does our Groper-in-Chief in the White House

    Is he nervous? No, because he's a psychopath...

    Lets not forget the 6 or 7 Demos caught up this year, so far. Not to mention a whole mass of leftists in the MS Media and Hollyweird.

    HAHAHA!!!! I've seen it all... These people hate religion. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Most people who hate religion will turn to it without hesitation once they hit rock bottom, are pushed into a corner they can't get out of (normally a wet paper bag will work for liberals because they're not strong enough to break through one), or feel like they're about to die.

    It's funny because Trump reached out to religious people, not Clinton, not Pelosi.

    I don't agree with your analysis here. If we were to wait and be patient and allow the criminal courts to produce an outcome, would you still be ok with that? And that seems to be the issue isn't it? Whether mr Franken committed assault is a matter of the law. Whether democrats find him an unacceptable member of the Senate is a political one. Obviously, not the same. I never said it was OK in either Moore or Trumps example, did I. It's incredibly disingenuous of you to infer that it is. If you actually read what I wrote, I've said that the standard of decency is one I expect. There is no double standard here, except in the one place it exists which is in your mind.

    MAGA - Morons Are Getting Angrier....

    EDIT - Just read this again.... sounds like admitting to being a "groper" as a young man? We forgive you (but I sort of agree with you - address it when it happens)

    Not to clever.



    Minnesota Gov. To Appoint Franken Replacement in Coming Days....

    Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) announced on Thursday that he will be resigning from the Senate "in the coming weeks" after eight women came forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. While Franken declined to give a specific timetable on his departure from the Senate, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (DFL) said that he will be appointing Franken's replacement in the "next couple of days."

    The text of Dayton's statement:

    “I extend my deepest regrets to the women, who have had to endure their unwanted experiences with Senator Franken. As a personal friend, my heart also goes out to Al and his family during this difficult time.

    “In other respects, Al Franken has been an outstanding Senator. He has been, as Senator Paul Wellstone used to say, ‘A Senator from the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party.’ He is very smart, very hard-working, and very committed to Minnesota. I wish him well in his future endeavors.

    “Events have unfolded quickly; thus, I have not yet decided on my appointment to fill this upcoming vacancy. I expect to make and announce my decision in the next couple of days.

    “I will have no further comments on this subject until that time.”

    Rumored potential candidates include Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). If Ellision were to be appointed, he would be the first Muslim member of the Senate. The replacement will serve until the 2018 elections......snip~
