I was responding to Bob , and that is about all he deserves.

But, to your point one could suspect that Franken is a sacrificial lamb to get Trump out of office.

It is a little suspicious that we have all of this exploding all of a sudden like it is something new.

Orchestrated ?

I don't believe so, make noise perhaps but Trump can only be impeached and with both houses in GOP domain, not going to happen. As for the current explosion, whatever led to this (see below), perhaps a sequence of events beginning with Bill'O and Weiner.



Be heartened, Trump was runner up.

Trump Disgraces America Every Day

There is no scale for any of this. So, it ends up being used now just like racism as a tool.

In the end woman will possibly suffer because of it. Powerful men decide it is simply better to avoid them. Or, the tool is used so widely that people become numb to it and real sexual abuse gets thrown out with the dish water. Sort of like racism.


Clinton had an affair with a consenting adult. While I do not condone affairs while married.... that is quite different than sexual assault.
And, Clinton had the due process entitled to him and the accusers and was investigated for other allegations.

Trump tweet....

""“Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Charles E. Schumer and someone who would come to my office ‘begging’ for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump,” the president wrote. “Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!”""

Because the GOP members of Congress are $hit scared of Trump. What he can do to discredit them verbally or via tweets, or by Steve Bannon, and most of all through his followers, who account for 70-80% of Republicans. This is my opinion of course.

Look happened to Senators Flake and Corker!

The plain vanilla, unexciting USA Today editorial board says:

A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush...

Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.

USA Today editorial

A president who'd all but call a senator a whore is unfit to clean toilets in Obama's presidential library or to shine George W. Bush's shoes

With his latest tweet, clearly implying that a United States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash, President Trump has shown he is not fit for office. Rock bottom is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a new low.
