And it will have zero repercussions for him and give him zero negative press. Have fun castrating Franken for one forcible tongue kiss, as the world burns down and the conservative zombies shout about the liberal rape problem.
I think that the only thing that will turn his base off is if some of his horrible legislation gets passed and they start feeling the consequences. And even then, some of his base will happily vote for him again anyway. But still - only the passage of shitty, harmful legislation that directly negatively impacts them…
Yep, it’s not as sexy as impeachment, but winning in 2018, making him a fast lame duck, then kicking his ass in 2020 is at least realistic.
The denial runs so deep though. People are actually destroying coffee machines in the name of preserving their comfortable ignorance. We’re beyond the pale.
“… make fucking sure your Democratic friends get off their ass and vote in 2018.”
There I fixed that typo for you.
Guys.
He wont lose a single voter over sexual misconduct so this wont even move the meter. Anyone that voted Trump that was so desperate to vote against Hilary will never change their mind.
This response too:
It’s hard to say it stinks to high heaven when there’s literally a picture of it. But the response has been further illustrative of the chasm of actual morality between the political parties: Democrats actually own up and call for accountability, Republicans circle the wagons, lie, and denigrate the victims.
Her breasts. He was mimicking touching her breasts while she was sleeping. Whether he touched her or not, he reduced her to a sex object and mocked her.
If he knows he didn’t do it, then why did he say he did? Also there’s photographic evidence that he did.
Alternatively, “you get judged by the company you keep.”
It depends on the severity of what they did, of course. I wouldn’t be able to forgive a rapist in my family but imagine that you found out that your father or your brother or your uncle had exposed himself to someone. You’re telling me that you’d tell them that you don’t love them anymore and never speak to them…
“Can you love someone who did bad things?”
I saw one with cheese the other day and I got unreasonably excited. Then I learned that there were only four different kinds of cheese on a rotation for 24 days. No, cheese advent calendar, I want 24 different goddamn cheeses!
As a side note, I’m not looking forward to the “whataboutism” that’s going to come from the right about this. Not that what Franken did is not bad and somewhat related to some other current cases but ... well, more Hannity bloviating is never good.
I live in Fort Bend County where this guy is sheriff. I’ve also seen this truck several times. I guarantee that the person who complained was one of the sheriff’s donors and supporters. This is clear cut 1st amendment. They want her to take it off and she is saying no. The man even held a press conference about it.…
Fuck Trump.
