Until he is gone I will not believe he is going anywhere. Dims are slim-balls that are never to be trusted.

Yes, and eventually Trump. Expect more bs claims against him. This is all theater so they can turn around and say “Trump has to go, we got rid of our sexual assaulters, now your turn”

“Franken is repugnant - even for a Democrat. A nasty, smirking, self-important little troll of a man without a single redeeming feature inside or out.

What a pleasure it is to see him sink into the sewers from which he came.”

Wait until you see the democrat prick Dayton replaces him with. We will wish Franken was still there.

“He fondled the breasts of a woman while she slept, and had a friend take a picture of it. How is that not sexual assault? The media is taking this too lightly.”

He never touched her...it was a frat boy prank photo.But since he is a democrat screw him and get rid of him in disgrace.

>> Coleman? Why? He's proved himself to be a spinless wimp that stood and watched"...me, Al Franken..." steal his senate seat from him in broad daylight. There's just no fight in Coleman. <<

Ummm... you have it backwards.

Coleman fought to the bitter end for MONTHES AFTER the election and REFUSED to accept Franken's fraudulent win, until the RAT controlled Minnesota Supreme Court anointed Franken the "winner" and ordered Franken be seated.

Numerous purists on this board, however, stabbed Coleman in the back, wouldn't lift a finger to help him during the contested election, and said Coleman "deserves to lose" because he is a "RINO". Apprently he didn't vote the way they wanted on some gun bill or something, so they were happy to let a deranged Marxist scumbag steal the seat to "teach the GOPE a lesson"

Interesting history revisionism going on here.

This is calculated so they can sandbag Roy Moore when he wins next week.

Their problem, however, is that there is ZERO proof that Moore did ANYTHING - only some accusations from 40 years ago that suddenly “just popped up” because he’s a serious conservative.

Franken, on the other hand, has photographic evidence of his own sh*t behavior, and admitted it.

If Franken stayed, they don’t have a leg to stand on. And don’t be surprised if they try to put that Mudslime Ellison in in his place.

his own party turned on him.

no proof of criminal activity.

allegations, some admitted stupid behaviour.

sorry folks, this isn’t how it should be—the thugs of the Beltway ought not to be able to do this.

oh well.

Don’t get me wrong. I think Franken stole the election and was a horrible horrible legislator. The way he is being removed is witch hunt stuff.

If all it takes is “J’accuse!” to get rid of a guy, then freedom is truly in danger.

Star Chamber, anyone?

jmho.

This purge of Democrat s is making me very nervous. Democrats do not do this. What are they up to? Why are they sacrificing their own members? It could be a ploy to “get” Roy Moore, but somehow I don’t think they would go that far for one replacement Republican. Somehow they are going for our president. What do they have that they can use against him that fits into the current purge? Yes, I’m paranoid. After 30 years of their games we have reason to be paranoid.

We do not want him denied due process. They are setting TRUMP up for more political whores. We want Franken there as the clown face of the hypocrite Dims. He is entitled to an ethics investigation— the confrontation with witnesses and something more that a lynch mob after an attempted kiss alleged after 11 years!!!

I share your concern. There's something really big looming over the horizon. No idea what, since I totally doubt there's anything in POTUS's past that would justify removal.

But the Dems have lowered the bar so much that it's setting the stage for something bad.

Photographic evidence is hardly an accusation. Have you seen Franken’s breast groping photo?

If you have been paying attention, there have been plenty of accusations against President Trump and they all proved to have been false.

There’s going to be pressure on Dayton to name a woman, so I think it will be State Auditor Rebecca Otto, who has put in decent statewide performances (and hence will be difficult to beat in a 2018 special). If Dayton appoints Keef X, that will be an easier GOP target.
