Tina Smith likely Franken replacement...

Assuming Al "the groper" Franken does what is expected, Governor Dayton is primed to name his Lieutenant Governor to replace the former SNL comedian.  

As far as we know, Tina has never forcibly kissed or groped anyone!
Lt. Gov. Tina Smith is likely to be Gov. Mark Dayton’s choice to replace Sen. Al Franken if he resigns as expected, which would set in motion a cascade of job openings and reshape Minnesota politics.

Is she better than Ellison?

Commonsense said...

Not likely but Dayton is planning to hold a special election in 2018 to fill out the remainder of Franken's term.

That could be a GOP pickup.

He inherited a growing economy and he hasn't fucked it up yet.

Historically speaking the economy, under a Republican President, we should be seeing strong signs of a recession in about a year

The FIB director is telling the President is full of shit.

So what?

In the hearing, without using the name, but it's good fun.

"Assuming Al "the groper" Franken does what is expected"

He's sure making a spectacle of the whole thing. Typical unhinged liberal.

Loretta said...

So what, THIS thread is about Franken, a creeper like you.

The slowest economic recovery in history. That's what Trump inherited.

Franken was classy.

But why is the pussy grabbing President and pedophile aren't resigning

Myballs said...

Franken is an ass. And we called it here. He didn't resign. He said he will sometime soon. That lets him delay, hoping for a way to stay on.

"But why is the pussy grabbing President and pedophile aren't resigning"

Bill Clinton isn't in office.

Unlike the sycophants here who will back up a pedophile and the pussy grabber who remain unimpugned by their base....Yep...the whole R party has the class of a gnat.....And yes, moore and trump become the poster boys of next years mid terms....wonder how low you guys will go defending these assholes....as loretta states "So what, THIS thread is about Franken, a creeper like you. What an awesome display of stupidity!!!!

While Franken is departing, Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore could be arriving, if he prevails in a Dec. 12 special election. Multiple women have accused the 70-year-old Moore of sexual misconduct with them when they were teens and he was a deputy district attorney in his 30s. If Moore is elected, it could create a political nightmare for Republicans, who have promised an ethics probe.

And when will an ethics probe give the women accusing Trump their chance to be heard?

TRUMP (paraphrased): I said what I said that I have done, but later I said that I have never actually done it.

TRUMP (paraphrased): I said what I said and later apologized for saying it, but now I say I didn't actually say what I apologized for saying because it could be a fake tape.

Billy Bush (paraphrased): No, it isn't. I was there, laughing, and that's exactly what he said. The voice is his.

Majority Want Trump Investigated for Sexual Harassment
December 7, 2017 at 1:28 pm EST

A new Quinnipiac poll finds 70% of Americans believe the U.S. Congress should investigate allegations of sexual harassment against President Trump, while 25% say he should not be investigated.

______________

My, my. I guess sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

That's one of those polls his handlers will try to keep him from seeing.

We'll never forget that Trump said "I just start kissing them... I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it." Here, we see Franken taking that arrogance far beyond what Trump said. If we assume for — the purpose of analysis‚ that the new allegation is true:

1. In place of a presumption of consent — "they let you do it" — Franken claims a right. He contends that because of his status as "an entertainer" he gets to do it whether she wants it or not.

2. Franken actually does it, even when confronted with active non-consent. Trump was only talking — outside of the earshot of any woman — about what he supposedly does. Who knows what he actually does? But even in the bragging context, the woman consents. Trump's joke is her susceptibility to star power.

3. Franken seems to get off on the forcible intrusion on the woman. Trump seems to delight in the fact that women want him. Those are entirely different sexual orientations! Franken is the one on the rapist spectrum.

4. Trump said you needed to be a star to have special access. Franken claimed access based on status as an "entertainer." That's more self-effacing and maybe he thought it was sort of cute and funny. But self-deprecation attached to forcing himself on the other person puts him in a very dark place, and makes me want to say those often-mocked feminist words: That's not funny.

They had their chance to be heard before the election. They weren't believed.

And speaking of hypocrisy, it was only Democrats who took money from a known rapist who was known to be a rapist at the time.

Are you guys upset that the Democrats are getting an automatic upgrade with whoever replaces Franken?

Democrat and upgrade is an oxymoron.

if there was anything to it gloria allred or her snotty daughter would've had their grubby paws on it by now.

i suspect that dozen or so of trump's "accusers" are a courageous bunch, right up until they have to submit to some serious legal scrutiny...

...then they wilt like the alky's first liver.

Commonsense said...

I'm thinking more and more that this is a bait and switch and he's not going to resign.

wphamilton said...

Ask CH how effective Franken has been in representing his constituents in Minnesota. Anyone the Governor picks is probably an upgrade.

Reading Franken's announcement just now, the parts that sounded pathetic triggered a thought about what he's up to. We're all familiar with how some people want to post an emotional swan song promising to depart an on-line venue, never to be heard from again. Like this one, like all its predecessors. They want to read the reactions, hoping that an upswelling of support convinces them to reconsider.

Franken sounded exactly like that. He hopes that discussion over his resigning eclipses the accusations and recriminations, and will grasp for any excuse to renege.

Personally I think he should just switch parties.

"Personally I think he should just switch parties."

you really think bernie would take him into the socialist party?

huh. that never occurred to me.

wphamilton said...

No he should switch to sexual-assault-is-ok as long as you're famous party. Republicans. You know the party would take him, as long as it counts another Senate seat.

Never thought I'd see the day the Republicans and Democrats have actually switched places on personal integrity...

Just a few short years ago, it was the Republican officeholders who resigned after being exposed, and the Democrat voters who would turn out in droves to keep criminals in office.

But now, in 2017, Democrats Conyers and Franken are gone, with voices in their own party demanding they quit. Meanwhile, Alabama Republicans are on the verge of electing a pedophile to the U.S. Senate.

Look around, Republicans. Trump has you so fucked up you don't even know right from wrong any more.

James said...

Once Moore is seated, Franken can childishly claim that if Moore gets to stay, then he should get to stay too!

So says Ch.

Why would that be "childish"? Sounds pretty logical to me.

Don't think he will do it, though.

Democrats value women too much to allow it.
