“Vichy Democrats”, i.e. “Democrats”
Chuck Schumer fucking sucks.
I’ve hated him since he forced Al Franken to resign rather than defend him over a cheap Republican smear job. The smug little creep embodies everything that is wrong with the Democratic party. It’s long past time for him to go.
Al Franken forciblely kissed Leann Tweeden and was photographed feeling her up while she was asleep. Fuck Al Franken and fuck anyone who would defend that behavior.
Are you referring to this photo?
Yes, he is definitely “groping” her here… Jfc.
And the kissing thing was definitely unacceptable, but hardly worth the amount of scandal it received.
She said Franken, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member and liberal activist who was elected to the Senate in 2008 and won a second term in 2014, insisted on rehearsing the scene backstage.
“He said to me, ‘We need to rehearse the kiss.’ I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL. … We don’t need to rehearse the kiss’,” she wrote in a lengthy and detailed post on KABC’s website.
“He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.”
Tweeden said she reluctantly agreed to rehearse the line leading up to the kiss and that’s when Franken “came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.”
“I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time,” she said. “I felt disgusted and violated.”
Franken, through a spokesperson, responded: “I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann.”
I will add that the GOP also amplified the issue 100x. The fact that Trump of all people was tweeting out against Franken is peak hypocrisy.

Yes, he’s groping an unconscious woman.
Tweeden said she reluctantly agreed to rehearse the line leading up to the kiss and that’s when Franken “came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.”
That’s sexual assault, and it’s unacceptable regardless of which political party the perpetrator represents. A normal person could get arrested for this.
The fact that Trump of all people was tweeting out against Franken is peak hypocrisy.
I agree, but aren’t the democrats supposed to be better than him?
I’m gonna be real with you guys.
I don’t want Iran to have a nuke. The bombings of their fissile material enrichment facilities really doesn’t bother me.
However, I am not really fond of Israel starting the war and inevitably dragging us into prolonged conflict. Especially considering what they have done in Gaza.
It’s complicated.
We aren’t the fucking police.
Don’t want to be. Do you want religious extremists to have nukes?
America has had them for a long time.
Beat me to it
WE ALREADY DO!
The bombings of their fissile material enrichment facilities really doesn’t bother me.
This sentiment is exactly why Iran and other countries WILL get nukes.
No, they will not.
Obama had a deal with a iran where we got to baby sit them to be sure. Iran wanted it for nuclear power. But trump had to screw it up, then let Israel start shit worse then ever before all over the middle east.
Maybe we wouldnt be worried about Iran having nukes if the whole region hadnt become such a hot bed that it is, again thanks largely to Israel for the past century trying to take over all the middle east thinking its their god given right.
If you are against WW3 then you should be against the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. Bombing another country is an act of war, we are in another war now. It is not our place to decide what countries are and aren’t allowed to invest in nuclear technology.
Nuclear reactors are a peaceful technology that provides lots of clean power. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent for invasions and attacks. If Iran actually had nuclear weapons they would have been flaunting them to keep Dump in check.
Starting?
Israel and Iran have been at war for decades.
