    Won't work forever, it will get out, especially as the victims name names.

    I won't be

    It is like how Al Franken was run out of Congress for a picture
    but literal liars and busted corrupt people are still in there
    Removing Franken allow for more shenanigans to happen sooner
    Unless you get them all . . . all you going to do is allow the Other
    side to promote it more and continue to ramp it up
    among other things

    There's a huge difference between pedophilia and inappropriate sexual misconduct from the #MeToo perspective. Al Franken was about a photograph and inappropriate behavior. But if this admin is hiding actual pedophiles from justice, they will get the hammer from everyone. That crosses a line no one will defend.

    At the same time, no one should tolerate sham prosecutions

    Come on man, the Trump cultists believe him over testimony from a child he raped. They believe him over all the women he sexually assaulted, and don't care if he bragged about being able to see teens undressed being in charge of all those teen pageants. All they care about are the pedo who are Democrats, They could care less about the pedo Republicans and friends of Trump.

    They love seeing victims threatened, slandered, sued and hushed, if it saves their dear leader. It's gross!

    Yes I know everything. Do you know that those 15 year olds are being actively abused right now and regardless of who's fault it is the solution is that unity is required to solve it? Do you know they're double daring you to befriend your fellow citizens because they are betting they can hyper-focus you on partisan politics?

    We get it. You believe your side is cleaner. If there was an award I'd give it to you. But can we get down to business now that you've celebrated your victory of having less blame for this?

    There would need to be some type of immunity in place for the victims or the rich folks will bury them in court proceedings. Politicians protect the rich more than their constituents.

    I think the true T-cult is 15% of Americans at most. He’s just someone that the larger, temporary cult members (27% of Americans) embrace because they have an emotional connection to what he said, and it’s hard for them to cut that tie. But they will break that tie over child abuse. The problem is he has successfully programmed them to see all “bad” news as fake news.

    Nope, the names can be read on the congressional floor to protect the victims.

    Except for the one written in sharpie that says Donald Trump is 100% innocent, has never done anything wrong, in fact, Donald Trump saved all of America.

    What's your concern about losing Franken? I liked him, he seemed like a smart guy with (paradoxically) some integrity. But he was replaced with Tina Smith who seems... fine. And the world keeps spinning. Franken didn't really get justice because he was tarnished and pressured to resign before he had his 'day in court.' But I really don't mind. Just like how with corruption you want neither the corruption nor even the appearance of impropriety in your public officials, with sexual assault you want neither the actual assault nor the appearance of impropriety -- especially in a political party with a major plank revolving around gender equality. Maybe Franken didn't do everything he was accused of but he knew he did some of it. Politicians are disposable. Why should we be stuck with possible miscreant Al Franken when we can have a serviceable and unreproachable Tina Smith? Same for Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson, or Larry Summers. They definitely shouldn't go to jail without proof beyond a reasonable doubt. But politically I don't need them at all; throw them in the dung heap and get someone who isn't accused of raping children.

    Man am I hearing this right that from Prince Andrew’s camp something about how Melania was Epsteins lover before Trump?!? Good Lord that would be wild if true but I guess not that surprising.

    Kash Patel always looks like he just realized the fart he just passed wasn't just a fart and he's thinking through the implications, trying to appear cool. Its a vaguely cross-eyed thousand yard stare.

    I know you are being hyperbolic, but the deputy AG went to interview Maxwell and got her to say Trump never did anything wrong and that he was a pure gentleman. LMAO
