Because the hawkers of the notion of fake news know what they’re doing. This is how Trump has succeeded in all of life - just throw out garbage until something sticks, plant the seeds of doubt into people who want to doubt, give them any reason to say “Well, I don’t know....” and you’re 70% of the way there. Add in…

This is why Al Franken should walk out tomorrow and go full heel DX/NWO styleStyle (He shouldn’t say “Suck It” however) He should tell Donald Trump and The GOP to kiss his ass, he should admit to what he did and then club Paul Ryan over the head with a chair and then spray paint DWO on his back signaling the start of…
Also jesus what’s with the trolls in the greys? Good lord don’t y’all have a fucking mountain dew to demolish? I can’t imagine spending most of my day visiting blogs that I hate just to say really dumb shit. What a sad life.
I’m concerned because they’ll have to run both Klobuchar for reelection and this seat at the same time. That’s a lot.
Good for him.
1) Gillibrand was fine pandering to racists to Upstate New York ( re: immigration and prison reform) but hey.
*shrug* So what?
LOL oh liberals. That is DEFINITELY not what’s going to happen. You really believe you’re going to sacrifice one of your own and that’s going to make the nation see the light and join you? Bwahahahaha
It would not have been hard to give a one page shout out to the women who came before. To not include them feels a bit like a slight. I’m in no way diminishing what the women this year did, and again, props to Time for doing this but having a cut off just diminishes it a bit.
Indeed. I said last week that I was kind of hoping they would choose “Investigative Journalists”. SO MUCH has happened this year, across so many different areas of society. One thing they have in common is the incredible work investigative journalists have done to explore and expose problems. But I assumed that would…
2018. If he resigns tomorrow MN law is that the special election is held the following election. It puts both US Senate seats up for reelection. It spreads the funds and now a story to run against.
Right move for who? For those of us who get to feel smug that justice was served in regard to this one man? Or for Franken’s constuents and people who make actual laws that impact the entire country? It’s likely enough he’ll be replaced with a republican in a special election. I don’t really value the smug feelings I…
Taking the high road includes relentlessly attacking Republican predators and not sitting on your ass during 8 years of daily racist scapegoating of your president, gerrymandering, and voter suppression.
Ah, yes. Purity.
I don’t know what you’ve been yanking on, buddy, but horses don’t have udders.
It’s likely that we will lose a senate seat if Franken resigns. A special election will be held and someone will be elected in a state that almost went to trump where the other senator is a dem (making people feel like they need to “balance” with the other seat). The person Franken won the seat from was a republican.
With “friends” like this, who needs fucking republicans? Apparently it wasn’t enough to hand the election over to Trump, they just won’t stop fucking up.
I don’t think his career will suffer. He’s extremely established. He’ll be fine.
Everyone? Great, show “them.” And all those white women who voted for Trump will suddenly see the light and not do so a second time, and all those women voting and campaigning for Moore will be won over by our righteous seizure of the “moral high-ground.” Fantasy. I mean, whether he resigns or not, it’s not likely…
