Breaking Tweet:

Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon said: “I expect that Senator Franken will announce his resignation tomorrow.”

Now 23 Senators are calling on Franken to step down.

Must be something to it.

LOL! The DUmmies are beside themselves. They even describe Frankenbaby as “sharp, articulate, & outspoken.”

What universe do they inhabit?

If he resigns, the outrage will be focused on Roy Moore to either not be elected or to be run out of the Senate.

This is all a ruse. Bank on it!!!


Yep! I have already seen it today painting this as a real problem for Republicans- The contrast between how Democrats see sexual abuse, and the way Republicans do. Of all people, I saw a WAPO writer today on one of the channels make a very good point. If Conyers and Franken were in States with Republican Gov.’s, there is no way either of them would even consider resigning. That is a point that should not be lost in all the rhetoric that is coming.

He could have tried denying it, but the breast-grab photo was pretty damning evidence as to his character, or lack thereof.

i wouldn’t’ resign but force an ethics investigation and vote.

This atmosphere is ridiculous. This is enabling certain types of women who use rejection of sexual advances ... perceived or otherwise as tools in the political and big business arena.

Roy Moors accusations are ridiculous to begin with. So what, 40 years go he dated a few 16-18 years old, within the age of consent and not totally perv as the media is trying to portrait.

My opinion is if it didn’t happen within the past 6 years, it didn’t happen.

I think he should resign just because he is so damn ugly !


Yes!!! Franken and Rep Al Green (D-ButtUgly) should definitely resign. They both are breathtakingly UGLY (with a stupidity chaser thrown in).

“Maybe he will become another good democrat

It is uncharitable to wish him dead.”

The picture that came out had him having both hands on a sleeping woman’s breasts.

That’s not workplace harassment.

That’s called a CRIME.

If it was a female family member how would we all feel about him staying in office.

Good ####ing riddance.

Roy Moore has done nothing wrong or close to being illegal. There is no reason he should step down, the charges and alleged victims have been proven to be outright frauds. I can’t expect everyone to know this if they are watching the LSM. The judge will win, he will be seated, the ethics committee will collapse in humiliation and this will all be proven to be a horrific fraud.

The Roy Moore accusers’ stories are falling apart and he’s leading in the polls, and Franken’s probably going to resign tomorrow. He’s bad enough, he’s stupid enough, and dammit, people don’t like him.

I hope he does stay. The more hypocritical the Dems are, and the more in-fighting they’re plagued with, the better.
