General Discussion

The Senate has ways of dealing for misconduct if it is proven and deemed so. You can demean hero worship all you want (it’s called forming an opinion based on facts) , but when there are people who you admire that stand out and are good legislators and CARE, I don’t believe in always throwing the baby out with the bathwater by a pitchfork mob that republicans have conditioned to be afraid of their own shadow. We need fighters and Franken was doing that and certain people and legislators knee jerked in this case given it was the frenzy of the Me Too movement. Many today express regret on jumping too fast, including Franken.

The man was honorable enough to resign for the good of the party but he should not have. My opinion at the time against the pitchfork mob and it has aged well today. Tweed is a scumbag and was surprised that it was so easy to taken him down. She said she didn’t want him to resign, which I don’t necessarily believe that given how she addressed the situation.

But she groped and grinned on country singer Craig Morgan on stage. They were both out of line. Franken paid a big price for a very small offense by a friend of Hannity.

We will agree to disagree. I am just glad we have a lot more fighters now that don’t fall for the right wing narrative and traps. But we still have Democratic voters that do.
