While congressional democrats may breathe a sigh of relief now that Senator Al Franken (D-MN) has announced his intention to resign (no exact date given), there is worrisome blowback for them caused by the sudden rush to distance themselves from the creep.
First, is the raw political calculation of how to protect his soon to be empty senate seat. It took a car trunk full of questionable ballots from felons to get him into the Senate in the first place. Now, his seat may be in play and will force democrats to defend it along with the other 25 Senate seats next year. More
The soon to be former senator’s Democrat colleagues are also becoming concerned that by forcing the hapless idiot to resign without due process, it may set a troubling new “Franken Standard” for other democrats facing sexual harassment allegations.
Of course, they can’t miss him until he’s actually gone.
Poor ol’ Al Franken, democrat party and due process are the victims.
Not a word about those who were humiliated or harassed.
It’s all about the Senate seat and the democrat power struggle to name a successor and spent $50 million to keep the seat.
Franken ain’t going nowhere. He’ll use Roy Moore’s win as an excuse to stay
Franken will be given a MSNBC show as soon as the clamor fades a bit. Just watch.
The Dems will have a tough time holding onto a LOT of these seats in 2018.
Massive obvious ballot fraud only works when the Dems know that the FEC and DoJ are on their side, wink wink.
New sheriff. New rules. MAGA.
Intention is not resigning. He also basically accused the women of lying (he doesn’t remember things the same way). Not helping the ultimate plan of brining this all back to Trump.
I’ll believe that piece of shit Franken has actually resigned when he’s actually out the fucking door and not a second sooner. Until then, it’s just more democrat bullshit.
The party may force him to stay on as long as he can possibly hold against the public clamor for him to leave already. They need to shore up support back in MN for what ever democrat they’re going to replace him with. They’ll make him stay until his reputation is completely shattered and his name worthless for anything further activity on the left, if that’s what it takes to keep that one senate seat.
It could turn out that the best service this man ever did for his country was help destroy the party that put him into an office beyond his incompetence, just so they could cram Obamacare down our throats.
In the business world, when you resign, you give 2 weeks (minimum) notice and you leave on a date certain. If you are fired you gather your shit, get your check, and you leave. With no specified date, this little worm could hang on until November.
💥 HIGH STANDARDS OF THE DEMOCRAT SENATE: 💥
💥 Allowed a KKK Grand-Cyclops to stay for 1/2 a century.
💥 A man KILLED his mistress, stayed for 47 years.
💥 A Chicago man cheated and disenfranchised his way into office, became President.
💥 An Arkansas/New York rapist-enabler became a Senator, ran for President.
💥 A woman lied about her race to cut to the front of the line for jobs, currently still employed.
💥 Illegall immigrants can waltz right in a kill people? OK!
💥💥💥💥 ROY MOORE HAS TO GO? 💥💥💥💥
I think Davy will be proven right. And we’ll find out just about 30 hours from now after the Alabama voting booths close.
But this will just add to the pressure on Dems for again supporting one of their own against his female accusers.
When the Dems finally drive away the young-ish white women demo, they also lose the beta white male Uncle Tims who profess Leftism in hopes of scoring with those Lefty chicks.
We are watching the Kennedy-Clinton party devolve and shrink into the all-nonwhite BLM/CAIR/LaRaza party.
That’s 10-15% of voters, max.
Obama and Soros built that. Ain’t it great?
“…a troubling new ‘Franken standard’…”.
…NEWER than the KENNEDY or CLINTON STANDARD, you mean?!

How do you see that happening? Women, regardless of self-proclaimed — for today — color, don’t expect more dole from the “We’re the Republicans, so we’re not the Democrats — wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more” “party”. “Young” women (according to Americans, that includes any “grrl” not yet eligible for her “hard earned, she’s just getting back what she paid in, with a little sumpin’ sumpin’ in interest” Social Security checks) have not been pig piling those “filthy hoors” that slutted their way to all the good jobs, that all the “talented” grrls, “deserved” — but were denied, because the hiring “deciderer” was already taking a “spent nap”. Womyn — including everyone who “identifies” — for today — as a womyn, and those that support them, want what the communalists have on offer. And they absolutely, freekin’ lutely, do not want what the “banned from The Party” (absolutely, freekin’ lutely, singular) “for BadThink” want, instead.
