“You think these kids are motivated by one-upping the right?”

I know, ‘round these parts of extreme groupthink I am like a unicorn.

Cool, these kids are not saying anything new and haven’t “shifted”anything, it is just more extreme partisan hackery like what you see on Twitter or kinja. They are like a partisan tweet thread in human form. I just can’t tell if the kids are exploiting their dead classmates, or of the progressive media is exploiting…

“...mercilessly going after someone’s advertisers...”

Dear flying spaghetti monster:

Franken did deny every accusation besides the photograph. People think an ethics investigation would have shown that he was innocent of all charges except for taking a joke photo. Guilty people do not welcome investigations.

I’m saying her motives were selfish and she has no claim to any moral high ground on the subject; anything out of her on the subject is mere grandstanding.

Bingo. She did the wrong thing. With gusto. Couldn’t throw Franken under the bus fast enough.

Semantics. You are tiptoe-ing around the fact that she threw him under the bus.

Joy Behar lives in NY. Gillibrand, a Senator from NY, is therefore her politician. Behar is holding that politician to account for things she said and did. Just because you disagree with her position doesn’t make that any less true.

Boo hoo. He could’ve stayed on and told his caucus to go fly a kite if he had such a fucking mandate.

Kirsten Gillibrand is incipient evil, and I love me some Bette Midler. So, I’m not really objective here. But. Roger Stone set a trap and caught himself an illiberal, ends-justify-the-means, hyper-ambitious Democrat.

Then Gillibrand should never have voiced her opinion about Franken resigning, in your scenario.

From what I’ve read and know of her, I’m a big Gillibrand fan and have said I’d vote for her if/when she runs.

Al Franken jokingly took a picture pretending to grab some skank’s (who spent the same trip grinding on guys without their permission) breasts through a flak jacket. This is worth destroying a man’s career and the Democrats losing one of their only god damn good Senators? IT’S A FUCKING JOKE FROM YEARS AGO. Fucking…

No, you need to shut the fuck up. So go ahead and do that, please.

No, she shouldn’t be. Gillibrand is a busybody who pressured an elected representative whose remaining in the position was supported by 50% of MN voters and 71% of MN Democrats. She thought it was okay that an elected representative of her own party should be put through the wringer, and the democratic choice of those…

I see Joy is already attacking potential 2020 Dem Nominees.

Here’s the problem I have with Gillibrand: she has no business using her position in the party to rally for the resignation of an elected representative from a state she doesn’t, herself, represent, in complete contravention of the electoral process that put him there. She treated the sacredness of that relationship…

This is an actual opinion people have: fake-groping a sleeping business partner shouldn’t get you fired.
