Here's something I haven't seen in the news for the last two days:

[Rustynaerduwell]

A half a dozen women coming out with any accusations against Sen Al Franken.

[roscoeroscoe]

1. Hmmm!

How about that. Good point!

[ehrnst]

2. Just a letter from his former and current staffers

saying how respectful he is to women.

[Mira]

3. My breath has been baited as well

The more I know about the Al Franken accusation and accuser the the worse they look to me. He is overreacting about what was a prank and sillyness - but I think in this national climate he has to do just that. And she is aggrandizing her obscure self to ride the trend. I'll go now and read "Giant of the Senate" again.

[Wounded Bear]

11. "Bated"...

A cat eating cheese would be waiting for a mouse with "baited" breath.

[Mira]

14. sorry

thanks
English is my second language and I am still learning/ was dubious about it/ should have checked.

[Wounded Bear]

15. It's all good...

usually, when I go grammar nazi, I'm kidding around.

[annabanana]

4. WE should DEMAND an investigation. I suspect that we would discover a set-up.

just sayin'

[mountain grammy]

5. Oh wow, almost as if it was a setup

And he’s not that kind of man. Who knew? Only everyone who’s ever known him or worked with him...

[Irish_Dem]

6. Very good news for him. nt

[Orrex]

7. Wait 10 minutes, and a few DUers will be happy to dredge it up again

[neohippie]

8. spoke too soon did you

Apparently there is another story out now

[hurple]

10. this one...

Even at face value, sounds more like an "accidental" thing than a malicious act.

[PatSeg]

9. Sadly

There was just one on "Latest Breaking News", but I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

[Farmer-Rick]

12. I have my doubts about this Texas couple coming forward.

CNN is claiming the couple supports both RepubliCONS and Dems. But really you voted for Trump??????

"The couple voted last year for Donald Trump." From the CNN story.

I don't know about this. It would be so easy to pay off a couple of people. I'm just not sure about this.

I guess he just gropes RepubliCONS? You would think, since he is a Dem and has worked on numerous liberal radio shows, that some real liberals would have come out and complained. It just seems fishy. I'm waiting to see what eventually falls out.

All I can say is maybe.............

[PatSeg]

13. Very fishy indeed

This would appear to not only try and undermine a prominent Democrat, but it undermines real victims of sexual assault and could prevent them from coming forward. It trivializes sexual assault and demeans real victims. Meanwhile, it could be a distraction from Roy Moore's problems.
