Weird Al Franken (D) endorses Liz Cheney for the GOP nomination

Former Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al "Hands On Deck" Franken tweeted his unwavering endorsement for Liz Cheney, a Republican poseur who is trying to win reelection in Wyoming but has little chance of winning unless Democrats register as Republicans and cheat, as they have been asked to do. If Cheney somehow wins the nomination and is reelected, there will be snowballs in hell who have been given a second chance.

"I’ve decided to endorse @RepLizCheney for the Republican nomination for the House seat In Wyoming it’s my first time endorsing in a GOP primary," the woman-groper and former senator tweeted. "But I think Al Franken’s support will carry a lot of weight with WY Republicans."

To which this writer replied: "Anyone who self-refers in the third person is an arrogant dolt."

"Maybe she can hit the road with you on your comedy tour when she gets voted out, because she sure as hell isn’t getting re-elected," Florida Republican Congressional Candidate Lavern Spicer tweeted.

Some, including comedian Tim Young, took the opportunity to remind Franken of the scandal involving a picture of him groping California radio broadcaster Leeann Tweeden.

"That [sic] a very gripping endorsement, Al," Young tweeted along with the controversial photo.

"Noted sexual harasser makes his choice," columnist Kurt Schlichter tweeted.

"Kinda says it all," Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted.

Arianna Huffington gets groped by Weird Al Franken

Franken, a washed out comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member, was forced to resign from the Senate in 2018 following a wave of sexual harassment allegations that followed the picture with Tweeden.

Cheney has served in Congress since 2017 but her chances of being reelected are scant after she supported the impeachment of former President Trump.

Gillibrand's campaign will probably have the longevity of a moth at a campfire

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has become as relevant as a nightlight is to Chuck Norris. At one time people thought she was going to be the next Hillary Clinton, except not the loser part. She took over Hillary's Senate seat [was it still warm, I wonder], and she came out like a hockey mom whose kid got thrown into the boards.

Now, not so much.

"KG" is pulling in about one percent of the vote, and it isn't the Bernie "millionaires and billionaires" who support her, even though she now stands behind Bernie's platform. But that's her problem--she's like a chameleon when it comes to policy. She will go where the political winds blow.

Her fall from ratings she now blames on former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN).

Gillibrand's campaign reports, in FEC documents filed this week, that she took in a meager $3 million in the first quarter of 2019, which is like a friend handing you three bucks and asking you to buy a carton of cigarettes for them.

Why the trouble?

She has a theory as to why she can't gain headway on her campaign: "she's suffering backlash from sexists who objected to her calling out Franken for his inappropriate, sexually charged behavior, and spearheading his removal from the Senate," according to The Daily Wire.

Gillibrand's campaign will probably not be around for long. She needs to command at least an additional 4% of the vote to make it into the Democratic primary debates (she has a better chance getting struck by a major league fastball at an NFL game), or prove that more than 65,000 separate individuals donated to her cause, which is about the number of people who ride aboard the roof of a New Delhi bound bus during rush hour.

She might as well go camping.

CNN New Year's Eve guest's resolution: 'make sure the Republican Party dies'

 On the Comedy News Network's New Year's Eve Profanity Fest, former funny person Jane Curtin, 71, was asked about her resolution for the new year. She was cutting edge and extremely brave for someone formerly in the entertainment industry and gave a brutal and highly thoughtful response, saying, "My New Year's resolution is to make sure that the Republican Party dies."

She evidently plans to do something about the existence of one of America's political parties because she has a different political viewpoint, but look at the sheer bravery to come out on CNN and say such a thing. It's amazing she wasn't immediately told to leave New York.

Still, it’s unclear exactly how she will accomplish her goal; she didn’t elaborate on the power she wields in order to guarantee that the GOP vanishes. Will she wait until baseball season and shoot GOP congressmen and women, like what happened to Rep. Steve Scalise, during practice? Will she "do a Jared Loughner" and shoot a politician she disagrees with over gun control?

Perhaps she'll use the 2017 Las Vegas shooter's tactic and wait for a crowd of Republicans to gather, like Stephen Paddock did at a country music event in which he knew the audience would be composed primarily of Republican Trump supporters.

However she decides to kill the Republican Party, it certainly sounds like it would be a bloodbath. But then again, she believes in the killing of unborn babies, the highest cause of death in the world last year at a number reaching about 42 million, according to Life News . So what's a little bloodbath of Republicans when you look at abortions?

In November 2017, Curtin joined 35 other women affiliated with "Saturday Night Live" to sign a letter countering sexual harassment allegations against former frog-face senator Al Franken (D-MN), who had performed on SNL. Apparently, if you are a Democratic Party member, especially in politics, you can be forgiven sexual misconduct that you have clearly committed as proven with photographic evidence. But if you're a Republican being accused of the same thing, in spite of evidence proving the contrary to the allegations, you are guilty and have no right to sit on the Supreme Court or have an intact career in law.

The letter signed by Curtin stated:

We feel compelled to stand up for Al Franken, whom we have all had the pleasure of working with over the years on Saturday Night Live (SNL). What Al did was stupid and foolish, and we think it was appropriate for him to apologize to Ms Tweeden, and to the public. In our experience, we know Al as a devoted and dedicated family man, a wonderful comedic performer, and an honorable public servant. That is why we are moved to quickly and directly affirm that after years of working with him, we would like to acknowledge that not one of us ever experienced any inappropriate behavior; and mention our sincere appreciation that he treated each of us with the utmost respect and regard.

Funny how that works for Franken but not for Kavanaugh.

But funnier still is how the left who is so anti-gun, is so pro-killing.

Congress members will have to foot legal bills to settle sexual harassment claims

This is legislation passed this week that should have been passed when George Washington was checking his teeth for wood termites. Members of Congress who are accused of sexual misconduct will no longer have a slush fund to cover their legal costs but will have to pay out of their own pockets.

The final version of the bill passed Thursday, according to the Huffington Post . They said it went "sailing" through the House and Senate by unanimous consent, because if it didn't those who refused to sign would have been closely scrutinized by both legislative bodies. It will be on the president's desk for his signature by week's end.

“Time is finally up for members of Congress who think that they can sexually harass and get away with it. They will no longer be able to slink away with no one knowing that they have harassed. ...They will pay back the U.S. Treasury,” Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), one of the main sponsors of the bill told reporters on Thursday, according to Reuters.


The bill was being considered for quite a while Speier pointed out in her speech: 

“We want to thank 1,500 former staff members of Congress who wrote a letter to us who made the case all too clear, that sexual harassment in Congress was a huge problem."

You can see how slow the U.S. legislature moves when you consider that Speier and a bipartisan group of Congressional leaders began drafting the bill last year. 

When the "#MeToo" movement went viral across social media, a slew of powerful men in Hollywood, the media, and even in the Federal government, our politicians knew they had to get rid of the taxpayer-funded slush fund politicians were using to cover their legal costs. 

Both Sen. Al "Frogface" Franken (D-MN) and Rep. Blake "The Other Pajama Boy" Farenthold (R-TX) resigned their positions in Congress after past indiscretions came to light in late 2017 and early 2018.

Farenthold spent more than $84,000 in Federal slush fund money defending himself against a suit brought by a former legislative director who claimed the then-Congressman used inappropriate, sexually charged language in an interaction. Another aide also claimed Farenthold created an unsafe work environment through his sexualized language and foul exploits.


HuffPo reports that the bill goes further than merely limiting cash flow, reforming a grievance reporting system mired in the 1990s: 

"Under the current law, which has been in place since 1995, Capitol Hill staffers who claim they’ve been harassed or discriminated against have to undergo counseling, mandatory arbitration and a 30-day 'cooling off' period before going to court. They won’t have to do any of that anymore."

The bill doesn't accomplish everything Speier set out to do, such as castrate all white male lawmakers in the GOP who are found guilty, but she's hoping it will eventually make its way into the bill in the future when Democrats take over the House.

Also, the law isn't retroactive, like the texting tax Speier's state of California is hoping to impose on residents with cell phones.

The provisions in the bill are limited to sexual harassment claims and sexual misconduct claims only. The bill doesn't cover claims of discrimination, even if those claims are sexual in nature.

 The bill also doesn't provide representation to alleged victims free of charge. Why should it when there are people such as Christine Blasey Ford and Julie Swetnick who make uncorroborated accusations?

There's still a presumption of innocence for the accused so both parties need to start out on equal footing.

Disgraced ex-Sen. Al Franken wants to make comeback

Minneapolis, Minn. -- After almost a years since Democratic Sen. Al Franken resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations with photos, he is testing whether it's safe to try making a comeback while people still remember him and the #MeToo movement is still a movement.

Franken, a former "Saturday Night Live" comedian released a podcast on health care. A few days after Thanksgiving, the ex-Senator and Democrat posted on Facebook and said how much he missed "being in the fight every day."

By fight, he meant fighting with Republicans on every issue, good or bad. It's the only way a fat butterball like Franken can "fight" without actually getting hurt.


When I left the Senate I said I was giving up my seat but not my voice, and after the midterm elections I thought I'd start experimenting with ways to make my voice heard," the groper Franken said on his podcast. He ended it by saying, "Maybe I'll do another one, I don't know."

Had weird Al not been seen in a photo [taken by his brother, if memory serves] pretending to grab a woman's breasts, and then being accused by her of forcibly kissing her during a USO tour in the Middle East in 2006, he might-have-gone-all-the-way back to the Senate. But even if that had not come out, several other women claimed that he groped them while posing for photos.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, New York's Weather Vane [she only reacts to whichever way the wind blows because she hasn't the courage to have her own opinions] responded to the allegations against Franken by throwing him under the bus and called for him to step down. Other women Democratic senators did the same.

Franken, 67, announced his resignation in December but still maintained that some of the accusations were untrue--not all, just some--and he disputed the details. "I just touched her; I didn't squeeze."

Franken, who is Jewish, would have had a better chance of remaining in office if he was an anti-Semite and a Muslim like former Rep. Keith Ellison who is now Minnesota's attorney general and accused of sexual abuse.
 And Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court despite an allegation of attempted sexual assault.

And if Franken's accusers had no proof to wild claims, and some even admitted to lying, like in the Justice Kavanaugh case, he still might have remained in office.

But the photos. Those dad-gum photos.

President Trump ridiculed Franken for not staying in the fray, for quitting too soon. At a Minnesota rally last month for a GOPer running in a special election to complete Franken's term, Trump said to the crowd that Franken folded "like a wet rag."

"Man. . . . He was gone so fast. It was like, 'Oh, he did something, oh, oh, oh, I resign. I quit. I quit. Wow," Trump said to his base.

Franken posted in his Facebook page that he is "certainly not running for anything." If he were, it wouldn't matter because his state Senate seats and governorship are locked in for the near future by fellow Democrats, some of whom worry and warn their colleagues of his return should it happen.

Norm Ornstein, a close friend of Franken’s for 30 years who is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative-leaning Washington think tank, said he and Franken have had discussions since the midterm election about how the former senator, former comedian might play a public role again.

Perhaps a school crossing guard.

“Even after being forced out of the U.S. Senate by his fellow Democrats a year ago, Franken seems to refuse to accept responsibility for his actions,” said Brian McClung, a Republican strategist who was spokesman for former Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

“Eight women accused him of sexual harassment. While people deserve second chances and the opportunity to redeem themselves, Franken has a long, long way to go,” McClung added.

DNC mum on abuse allegetions against Keith Ellison

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) is the first Muslim elected to Congress and is currently in his sixth term. But he has decided to forgo a seventh term and instead is seeking to fill the slot of Minnesota attorney general.

Ellison, like former President Barack Obama, is a big fan of the anti-Semite, anti-Caucasian, Louis Farrakhan, the scummy leader of the Nation of Islam.

However, Ellison is facing a slight problem ['slight' because, as a black, liberal, Muslim, he's allowed to get away with most everything] with allegations that he was abusive to an ex-girlfriend, Karan Monahan.

Also, in 2006, a woman named Amy Alexander accused Ellison of emotional abuse during an extra-marital affair and said he once grabbed her and pushed her during a heated argument, Vox reported. Ellison claims they never even had a relationship [because he was still married and golly, he'd never cheat on his wife].

But not to worry--the DNC's got Ellison's back. They've not said a word about the current allegations.

Ms. Monahan has accused Ellison of emotional and physical abuse during their relationship, and her son, Austin, wrote on Facebook that he saw a video of Ellison dragging her off the bed and shouting vile expletives at her. The hopeful Democrat said there is no such video and denied any misconduct, as is his habit.

Various media outlets, such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Daily Caller, The Washington Free Beacon and the Compromised News Network (CNN), reached out to the DNC but they refused to respond.

Monahan, 44, is an organizer with the progressive Sierra Club. She told The Ti mes that Ellison's abuse was "insidious." But she said she won't share the video because it's "embarrassing" and besides, she claims to have misplaced the thumb drive that contains it. However, three of her friends corroborated her story of the bed incident to them after she moved out of Ellison's bachelor pad, CNN reported.

"It is the most difficult form of abuse to articulate," she said in an email. "It is a slow insidious form of abuse. You don't realize it is happening until it's too late."

Tom Perez, the potty-mouth chair of the DNC has not said anything about the allegations against Ellison, but he did tweet in favor of the resignations of Sen. Al Franken (another D from MN) and Florida Democratic Party chair Stephen Bittel, both accused of misconduct toward women.

But not Ellison--he's bullet-proof.

Al Franken misses the Senate but they don't miss him

Former funny man, senator and #MeToo victim Al Franken has a list of questions for Brett Kavanaugh in his bid for his nomination for Supreme Court Justice. And just like Hillary Clinton is not the President of the United States of America, Al Franken is not a senator.

He was, but he is not one now based on his crude behavior with women and, in a photograph his genius brother took,  pretending to grab a woman's breasts while she slept.

Too bad for weird Al, he won't get the chance to question Kavanaugh because he doesn't have the authority to do so based on his past behavior as a pig. Only sitting U.S. Senators may do so, and the only thing Franken is sitting on is his thumb.

Franken so badly wants to be back in the senate that he refuses to change his Twitter handle from "U.S. Senator Al Franken" even though he resigned from office in disgrace after a series of sexual harassment allegations. He announced his opposition to Kavanaugh on Saturday in a Facebook post, which should make you glad you aren't a liberal sexual offender like weird Al.

Franken's pathetic tweet went like this:

When Judge Brett Kavanaugh appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I wish I could be there. Because I have some questions I'd love to see him answer. [When Franken uses the word 'love,' don't drop the soap.] Here they are:

https://t.co/hLGuu4QW3w 

--U.S. Senator Al Franken (@SenFranken)

He can't even be truthful about who he is.

Franken then "nails" Kavanaugh for something he said during his official introduction last Monday, suggesting POTUS presided over a thorough and extensive vetting process, and "no president has ever consulted more widely, or talked with more people from more backgrounds, to seek input."

Finally, Franken notes the he "knows" exactly what would happen in their exchange--he would reveal that he was selected "through a shoddy, disgraceful process" using resources from shady conservative groups, the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. He goes on to conclude that Trump hired him to cover his tracks.

"The truth is, for the last generation, conservatives have politicized the Court, and the courts."

Weird Al was definitely not referring to the Ninth District Court which has used its power to over ride the President's efforts to get immigration reform done.

Many of the responses to Franken's post urged him to return to the Senate--as if it's still his choice. But his words clearly show that his lawmaking process has not been missed.

Wanna bet Franken stays?

And doggone it, you make us sick

Failed comedian and Senator, Al Franken (D. Minn.) pretended to resign from Congress two weeks ago after he was outed for sexual misconduct with photos to prove it. There's no way Franken is going to abide by his statement to resign anytime soon--he has no marketable talent and he refuses to say when he plans to leave his Senate seat, even though his replacement was appointed earlier in the week.

"Tina Smith will make an excellent United States senator. ...I look forward to working with her on ensuring a speedy and seamless transition," Franken whined, but failed to mention when he plans to leave.

In his December 7th make-believe "resignation speech" he said he'll be leaving in the "coming weeks," but even January 12, 2030 is in the "coming weeks" so I believe he's pulling our collective chains.

He isn't leaving I'm guessing, because he's currently looking for excuses to stay. Had Roy Moore won the Alabama special election last week, that would have been perfect for Franken. I'm sure he was pulling for the judge, not only because they apparently have a lot in common with the ladies [and girls, in one alleged case] but Franken would have made the case of "if he can be a senator, why can't I?"

A number of people on Capitol Hill, including Senate leadership, have no clue when the whiny-voice Franken will ride off into the sunset.

"I'll be coming home," was his only response to a question asked about his future plans. But Franken considers Capitol Hill to be his home. Screw Minnesota.

The groper was back at work this week, participating in a committee hearing, casting leftist votes, attending a senators-only luncheon with Democrats, and innocently posing for a photo with a group of naive high school students.

No, Franken's not going anywhere. He has no respect for the Senate, thinking that scum wafers like himself belong there. 

He also has no shame, which is becoming an obvious advantage for politicians.

Franken has seven(!) claims of sexual misconduct against him. The latest by a woman who said in 2006 Franken tried to forcibly kiss her with his wet, slimy tongue.

A chorus girl gaggle of Democrats, led, of course, by 2020 presidential wannabe, Kirsten "Wherever the Wind Blows There Goeth I" Gillibrand, the winner of the new TV show "The Biggest Hypocrite."

Gillibrand has serious competition in Kamal Harris, who is also calling for Franken to resign and who also wants to run for president in 2020.

Franken in his pitiful speech, spoke about his original plan to undergo an ethics committee investigation (which could take 123 years, if done properly), but he also said that "some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others, I remember very differently." 

That's called not owning his behavior and refusing to properly apologize and just freaking leave, already!

But I still don't believe he's going to go quietly into the night.

Rep. Trent Franks resigns over reports he offered aide $5M to be surrogate

Rep. Trent Franks (R. -AZ) said he will be resigning effective immediately after his wife was admitted to the hospital (unlike Al "The Groper" Franken who is taking his sweet time resigning just in case his party changes their collective mind again). 

Franks announcement on Friday comes after he first announced plans to step down in January. His abrupt decision to leave follows news reports that he allegedly repeatedly pressured a former aide to carry his child, offering her $5 million to be a surrogate.

"Last night, my wife was admitted to the hospital in Washington, D.C. due to an ongoing ailment," Franks said in a statement. "After discussing options with my family, we came to the conclusion that the best thing for our family now would be for me to tender my previous resignation effective today, December 8th, 2017."

The congressman first announced his resignation Thursday night after learning of an investigation into his behavior by the House Ethics Committee.

In his Thursday statement, Franks admitted discussing the possibility of surrogacy with two of his female staffers and unknowingly to him, the conversation "made certain individuals uncomfortable." That statement said he'd be vacating his seat Jan. 31, 2018.

Franks discussed his and his wife's difficulty with fertility and adoption of twins, but they wanted another child. 

Apparently, he wasn't aware of how the conversation "made certain individuals uncomfortable," and they never told him that.

It's really sad that there seems to be no clear guidelines for male-female interaction, but there are for interaction with transgender, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, and everything else people call themselves. Screw up those guidelines and you can get nailed for a hate crime.

Really sad.

Al Franken reluctantly resigns, attacks POTUS

Al Franken will be resigning his Senate seat but he will not give up his activism, or his annoying voice, he said.

So ladies, be careful if you see him. He is going to remain the same old active mopey groper if he lives up to his word.

It took eight women for the Democrats to finally throw in the towel with Franken. Unfortunately, Republicans are still standing behind Roy Moore and I don't think it's a good idea--it will come back to bite them on our collective butts.

If you heard Franken's speech, he couldn't help attacking President Trump, which is a clear indication that his remorse level is at zero. The only remorse he has is the fact that he got caught. It sounded as if he was trying to say that Trump was worse than he was, and that's no way to show remorse.

Our country has given up morality for political gain. It's sad for both sides of the aisle, but mostly for the country. Obviously, this has been going on for a very long time--power has a way of trashing morality.

Sad!

Franken to give speech on his future in Senate

Minnesota serial groper Sen. Al Franken (D) gave the country a standard TV tease on Wednesday telling the public that he will be delivering a speech before noon Thursday to discuss his future plans in the Senate. Franken has been accused of groping a gaggle of women in the past, and there is photographic proof of at least one allegation made against the porcine Democrat.

Hopefully Franken will go quietly into the night after the speech, but it's probably asking for too much. However, Minnesota Public Radio, a covert subsidiary of the Communist Party (just kidding) reported that Franken will resign in spite of his office pushing back saying, "He's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggone it, people like him."

His office tweeted Thursday morning that he would give a floor speech at 11:45 a.m. ET.

If Franken steps down, the Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton will appoint another libtard to take his place. Most likely that person will be Lt. Gov. Tina Smith, a close ally of Franken although she has apparently never been groped by him as far as we know. There remains two years of Franken's term.

On Wednesday, the Democratic Party ganged up on Franken in order to appear moral and make the GOP look like pigs who are backing Roy Moore, a man who appears to have had a history of sexual misconduct and who allegedly done so with a 14-year-old girl decades ago when he was in his 30s.

"Enough is enough," said NY Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, possibly the biggest hypocrite of the lot. She was all peaches and roses with Bill Clinton back when his enabling wife, Hillary, was running for POTUS. Then she got on the party bandwagon when he was no longer useful to the 'cause' of leftism and attacked him.

These are people you absolutely do not want in your foxhole. As soon as they're about to be overrun, they would shoot you to save their own butts.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.-KY) weighed in: "It now appears Senator Franken has lost support of his colleagues, and most importantly, his constituents. I do not believe he can effectively serve the people of Minnesota in the U.S. Senate any longer," he said.

Hopefully he will step down and in two years be replaced by a happily married Republican with no ego issues.

Al Franken 'Greatest Groper' billboard stuns L.A. commuters

Los Angeles commuters were distracted from their iPads and cellphones on their way to work by a giant billboard that was altered to draw attention to the Sen. Al Franken sex scandal.

California street artist, Sabo, has gone after liberal politicians and Hollywood celebrities for years. Usually, he goes small--a poster-size piece at a bus stand or places with a lot of foot traffic. But his latest work involves a billboard for the upcoming film "The Greatest Showman." 

It's yooge!

"This hit cost me about $1,000 out of pocket," he tweeted Thursday morning. "I obviously can't crowd fund these projects so donations via [my main] site at http://www.unsavoryagents.com are much appreciated."

Now the question remains: will President Trump send him the dough anonymously or publicly?

The billboard shows Franken in his signature lecherous pose next to a circus performer for actor Hugh Jackman's flick about P.T. Barnum's rise to fame. You know Barnum, he said something like: "For every buck there is a schm*ck."

Franken is a Minnesota Democrat who, unlike Democrats John Conyers and Ruben Kihuen is not being told to resign by Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi and others. 

Franken issued a very carefully worded apology to a gaggle of women last month for grabbing their asses while smiling happily into the camera which, in one photo, actually proved he was groping a woman--in that case it was radio host Leeann Tweeden.

"I know that I am going to have to be much more conscious when in these circumstances, much more careful, much more sensitive and that will not happen again going forward," Franken said, speaking as if he unconsciously and accidentally allowed his hand to inadvertently grab the buttocks of multiple women who came forward, and likely more who did not.

His hands need a good talking to.

He refuses to resign.

Franken shares his feelings with his liberal robots

Disgraced Senator Al Franken refuses to resign but broke his silence Sunday and shared his feelings with us. How noble of him to be so open about how all this makes him feel.

Franken said that getting caught grabbing women's butts makes him feel "embarrassed and ashamed" and that he wishes he never got caught.

And no matter how many people call for his resignation, he refuses to go because he has nowhere to go after this. In fact, he was hoping to remain in the Senate for the remainder of his time above Earth, if only the people would keep voting for him.

Fortunately for him, he's a liberal and they don't have a problem with other liberals grabbing ass, but are very clear about the same behavior with conservatives.

"I've let a lot of people down and I'm hoping I can make it up to them and gradually regain their trust," Franken said. 

He didn't let anyone down. To let someone down is to assume they held out a certain hope for you--the only hope people who voted for Franken hoped for was for him to continue condoning the killing of the unborn, higher taxes, Obamacare and defunding the military. 

He let nobody down except, perhaps, his wife and children who he chose not to abort.

Four women thus far have come forward and publicly said Franken groped them, including one who said he forcibly stuck his tongue down her mouth in a disgusting sloppy kiss.

"I'm looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow," the sleazeball told the media. Congress was out on a long Thanksgiving weekend.

To his credit, Franken probably did not engage in pedophilia like Roy Moore is alleged to have done. Nevertheless, he is a disgusting human being who abused his power to get what normally would be impossible, given his appearance and personality.

Who am I kidding? Liberal women love disgusting men.

Franken's office said last weekend that he will not resign, amid calls for him to do so. "Where would he go? What would he do? He has no qualifications--he thinks it takes a cloth to wipe a server," an anonymous family member said.

Franken alleges that he has apologized to Leeann Tweeden several times. She is a radio host in California and the first to come forward. 

He also said he feels badly that Lindsay Menz felt "disrespected" but he conveniently forgot about grabbing her butt cheeks while taking their photo at the Minneapolis State Fair in 2010.

The deviant senator has said that he's posed for "tens of thousands of photos" over the years but does not remember cupping any women's backsides (aka butts, buttocks, asses, derrieres) as several have alleged.

Franken told the media that he allegedly spent the past week "thinking about how that could happen and I just recognize that I need to be more careful and a lot more sensitive in these situations."

In other words, his sleazy behavior was an oversight. One can only wonder if it would have continued if he didn't get outed.

If this creep really did take "tens of thousands" of photos over the years, it's quite possible that more women could come forward. It's possible, and likely, that there have been other incidents of sexual misconduct that have thus far gone unreported.

Meanwhile, it's interesting to note that John Conyers plans to invest in fresh 'tidy whities'.

Weinstein case: police likely to join forces

Photo: Steve Crisp for Reuters

In New York, Los Angeles and London, authorities are pursuing criminal cases against sleazeball producer Harvey Weinstein as he faces a boatload of sexual misconduct accusations.

Detectives in those cities are likely to team up in a collaborative effort to build evidence and determine whether he can be arrested and charged for criminal activity, experts believe.

In the last six weeks, criminal cases have been opened as the scum-muffin faces lawsuits on both sides of the Pond.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detectives interviewed witnesses in preparation for presenting a case to the DA's office, who will decide whether to press criminal charges based on the accusations that Weinstein raped an anonymous actress in a Beverly Hills hotel in 2013, according to David Ring, the attorney for the alleged victim.

There are also "multiple complaints involving Harvey Weinstein," the LAPD reported and they are under investigation.

Ring said that "The LAPD is actively investigating [the alleged victim's] case. It's my understanding that they are also coordinating their efforts with other jurisdictions, like New York City."

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is investigating rape complaints by two alleged victims who went public: Pas de la Huerta and Lucia Evans.

Detectives previously looked into Weinstein's conduct but the office of the New York DA, Cyrus Vance Jr., allowed him to 'walk' saying that there wasn't enough evidence to charge him at the time. 

Of course, Vance Sr. was a Democrat who had pushed for closer ties with the then Soviet Union and was a general screw-up. When the Russians invaded Afghanistan on Dec. 27, 1979, he opposed what he called "visceral anti-Sovietism." When he tried to secretly negotiate a solution to the Iran hostage crisis with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini using the PLO as intermediary, it failed badly.

Vance died in January 2002 from pneumonia and the complication of Alzheimer's disease at the age of 84. 

Now his son is carrying on in the same liberal tradition.

In 2015, Italian model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez wore a police wire that recorded her pleading with Weinstein to stop trying to force and threaten her into going into his hotel room. He also apologized in an earlier incident, as per the New Yorker.

Following the decision not to charge Weinstein in connection with her case, Gutierrez signed an agreement in which Weinstein paid her $1 million.

A New York attorney, Jeanne Christensen, who isn't involved in the NYPD case said that "There is a lot of pressure on here because they [referring to the NYPD] are accused of giving Weinstein a pass [in 2015]. A lot of political pressure. But by all indications, they are taking the case very seriously.

Christensen is a partner at Wigdor Law, a New York firm that often represents sexual assault or harassment victims, especially cases involving employment. It was she who said that it's likely investigators in different cities are sharing information.

The NYPD and a team from the New York DA's office led by a senior sex crimes prosecutor are working in conjunction on the case, Vance spokeswoman Joan Vollero said. She declined further comment. 

The NYPD refused further comment after saying earlier this month that they had "an actual case here."

Weinstein, like Al Franken, John Conyers, Roy Moore, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Spacey, Ben Affleck, Chris Savino, Roy Price, Mark Halperin, Michael Oreskes, Lockhart Steele and others, have denied the allegations.

Most of these people, like Franken, have told the public how they feel, rather than actually apologizing to their alleged victims. The public does not care a fig about how Franken and the rest of them feel.

In London, police are investigating cases involving three women.

Christensen said that in alleged assault cases involving alcohol, or that have happened years ago, it's more difficult to prove the case. "The brain's natural defense is to block things out about what happened and if you spent some time where you never talked about it, it gets muddier," she said.

"A lot of women have come forward and they are not recalling in sufficient detail what the prosecution would need--and that's what it comes down to when you are having to prove a case, that's just how the law works."

Christensen said that the sheer number of complaints against Weinstein will be much more easily introduced in civil cases where rules regarding evidence involving a defendant's character and standard of proof are less stringent than in a criminal case.

UK lawyer Jill Greenfield is expected to file civil lawsuits on behalf of a number of women demanding settlements.

Actress Dominique Huett filed the first civil suit against Weinstein in early October. She is claiming $5 million in Los Angeles superior court, alleging the Weinstein Company "aided and abetted" the scumwad in "repeated acts of sexual misconduct."

The fat pig is going down!

Perhaps . . . perhaps not.

Two more women accuse Franken of inappropriate touching

Oy, not again

Two more women, not familiar with each other, have come forward and told the Huffington Post that Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) touched their buttocks in separate buttock touching incidents. This brings the sexual misconduct incident allegations against Al Franken to four, so far.

Radio host Leeann Tweeden wrote last week that Franken kissed and groped her without her consent during a 2006 USO tour.

On Monday, Lindsay Menz said Franken groped her butt at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010, after being elected as a senator.

The two women had remarkably similar stories and both spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of repercussions. Both had also been telling their stories over the years, which lends credibility to them.

In a sweat-stained statement to HuffPost, Franken said, "It's difficult to respond to anonymous accusers, and I don't remember those campaign events."

The first woman, a 38-year-old book editor who lived in Minneapolis at the time said Franken groped her when they posed for a photo after a June 2007 event hosted by the Minnesota Women's Political Caucus in Minneapolis. She wanted a photo with Franken because her mother "loves him" and wanted to give her the photo.

Two women close to the first woman corroborated her story.

"My story is eerily similar to Lindsay Menz's story," she said. "He grabbed my buttocks during a photo op."

The second woman said that weird Al cupped her butt with his hand at a 2008 Democratic fundraiser in Minneapolis. He also suggest they visit the bathroom together.

"My immediate reaction was disgust," the second woman said. "But my secondary reaction was disappointment. I was excited to be there and to meet him. And so to have that happen really deflated me. It felt like: 'Is this really the person who is going to be in a position of power to represent our community'"

Franken  told HuffPost, "I can categorically say that I did not proposition anyone to join me in any bathroom." 

Okay, so he calls it a 'washroom.'

The first woman said that Franken is a "serial groper" and that's why she wanted to tell her story. "Only two people have come forward and people are saying that this is a right-wing conspiracy," she said. "It's not. I'm not a liberal person. ... I voted for him after this happened."

The second woman, who said she was groped at a fundraiser, said it took place in the fall of 2008 at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. She was excited about attending the event. She was looking forward to looking to meeting someone she wanted to support.

"I had never attended anything like that," she said. 

She and her friends found Franken and introduced themselves to him.

"I shook his hand, and he put his arm around my waist and held it there," the second woman said. "Then he moved it lower and cupped my butt. I was completely mortified."

Franken is such a classy guy.

The woman had to escape Franken's clutches by excusing herself to go to the bathroom. It was then that he leaned in and suggested that he go with her. She grabbed a friend and ran to the bathroom leaving Franken behind, all sweaty and disgusting.

Since the incident, the woman told several people about what happened but didn't want to report it at the time.

I felt like I didn't have a voice," she began. "This man had all of the power, all of the authority. In addition, he is a white man and I am a woman of color. I was 21 years old. And I was afraid that he would use all of those privileges to discredit me, to make me feel even smaller than I already felt."

Now she's more confident thanks in large part to the many women who have come forward to share stories of sexual harassment by men in power.

What Franken is alleged to have done is not as bad as what Roy Moore is alleged to have done, but in both cases a power dynamic is clear. Also, in both cases the allegations of both men's behavior seem true based on corroborative accounts by the alleged victims.

Should Franken and Moore resign?

I believe they should and I also believe the names of others who have been protected with secrecy need to be made public. We pay their salaries; they work for us, it's time to take our government back from the politicians, even if we have to 'clean house' and Senate.

Franken accused of groping yet again

Another woman came forward accusing Sen. Al Franken, a guy who looks as if he was an extra in the Star Wars bar scene, of groping her in 2010.

The woman, Lindsay Menz, alleges that Franken grabbed buttocks while posing together for a photo at the Minnesota State Fair. 

Ms. Menz also tweeted about the alleged incident last Thursday, in response to claims made by Leeann Tweeden, a Los Angeles radio anchor that Franken groped her and forcibly shoved his tongue down her throat during a USO tour in 2006. This was prior to his becoming a senator, however, this latest allegation comes while he was in office.


"In August 2010, @alfranken grabbed me while taking a photo together at the Minnesota State Fair. I felt violated & embarrassed. I 100% believe your account of him & his actions, @LeeannTweeden. Thank you for sharing your story," Menz tweeted.

Menz, 33,  contacted CNN and gave more details on Thursday, soonafter the first allegation was made. She said the incident happened at a booth at the fair where elected officials, political candidates and celebrities stopped by and had their photos taken. It was nowhere near the "Salute to Dairy" display which featured a sculpture of a refrigerator made completely out of butter.

Menz said that her husband took the photo and that Franken "pulled me in really close, like awkward close . . . He put his hand full-fledged on my rear. It was wrapped tightly around my butt cheek."

[But he swears he didn't squeeze so it doesn't count.]

The Tweeden-Franken incident is captured for posterity in a photo where the so-called comedian clearly had his hands either touching Tweeden's breasts (she was asleep), or very close to them, as he grinned like an idiot into the camera.

Franken immediately apologized and alleged that he felt "disgusted with myself" for the photo [and for getting caught] but disputed Tweeden's recollection of the skit rehearsal, which is a half-buttocks apology, if you think about it.

Franken refuses to resign because he's a Democrat and this is what they do.

The senator is currently suffering from chronic convenient memory syndrome and said he does not remember taking the photo with Menz.

"I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don't remember taking this picture," Franken claimed. "I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected."

So butt-grabbing has become an 'interaction.'

Hillary wants Trump and Moore to apologize

"Those women were bimbos and sluts"

Hillary Clinton spoke to fellow liberals of Politico and discussed the current sexual misconduct scandals making the headlines. The operant words are current sexual misconduct. 

She never brought up her husband's sexual misconduct and alleged illegal sexual criminal activity because it was in the past, just like her illegal activities as secretary of state and the use of a private server. Besides, why bring that up--she lost the election anyway.

"Look at the contrast between Al Franken, accepting responsibility, apologizing, and Roy Moore [my husband Bill] and Donald Trump, who have done neither," the former worst lady said.

Hillary also said that Trump [and Bill] "has disgraced the office" [Bill literally disgraced the Oval Office by receiving oral sex] and that Moore "clearly doesn't appear to be someone who will bring respect and honor to the state of Alabama" [like she and Bill did with the Whitewater scandal and the sexual allegations].

Dumb Dem boasts on Facebook of mega-sex life

You either have to be a moron, a narcissist or a liberal to brag online about your sex life when you're in the midst of a governor's race. But I repeat myself.

Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill O'Neill is now facing calls from his opponents to resign from the state Supreme Court after unsolicited bragging, in a viral Facebook post this week, that he's had sex with no less than 50 women in his life.

"Sexual harassment, degrading and devaluing women is not a joke," Democratic candidate, Nan Whaley tweeted. "Justice O'Neill should resign."

I am by no means a Democrat, but there doesn't appear to be anything in O'Neill's post that harasses, degrades or devalues women. His post simply degrades himself and highlights his narcissism and blasé attitude about relationships.

"As an attorney I'm appalled at these remarks of @billforohio, a Justice, as a democrat I'm horrified he would belittle victims of sexual harassment/assault this way and as a woman I'm outraged he would equate sexual assault with indiscretion. He should resign immediately," former U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, who is also running for governor, said Friday.

Again, just because a woman says she's appalled, doesn't necessarily mean that he said anything appalling--especially by someone running against him in an election. What he said was simply stupid.

The worst thing I believe about his Facebook post was that he revealed the identity of two of the women he bedded: Sen. Bob Taft's personal secretary and Peter Lewis' senior advisor. 

O'Neill has no class and is probably a pig, but based on his post, he isn't a harasser or an assaulter of women.

What O'Neill posted was ostensibly a response to Al Franken's scandal, but it sounds more like he's bragging and he sounds like a highschool kid. He says in the post "I believe it is time to speak up on behalf of all heterosexual males."

He isn't speaking out for all heterosexual males--he's speaking out on all heterosexual secular male liberals, and I'm sure a number of conservatives, Roy Moore and Donald Trump included, I suspect.

But this sexual misconduct capade is bringing out the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle.

The one thing I know for certain is that O'Neill is an idiot and probably needs to drive a Hummer.

The Useless Senate Ethics Committee

Checking his breath

The Senate Ethics Committee is about as useful to ethics violations as an aspirin is to blindness. And Mitch McConnell is as effective a Senate Majority Leader as Anthony Weiner is as a life coach.

Just hours after Leeann Tweeden went public over Sen. Al Franken's (D-MN) sexual misconduct, in which he is alleged to have kissed and groped her without consent during a 2006 USO tour, McConnell (R-KY) dealt with the matter by farming out the problem to the Senate's Select Committee on Ethics.

This is in contrast to McConnell saying that the GOP candidate for Senator of Alabama, Roy Moore, must step down for an alleged claim that he was sexually inappropriate with a 14-year-old girl almost forty years ago. 

In Franken's case, he admitted the assertion by Tweeden because there was photographic evidence supporting her claim. In Moores' case, he flatly denied the allegation, although there is strong collaborative evidence the claim is true. 

But the problem with McConnell is that he lacks consistency, and his recommendation for a Senate Ethics Committee to handle Franken's case is nothing more than a free pass to Franken, an unfunny former comedian turned senator.

Of course, Franken not only agree to a Senate Ethics Committee investigation, he acted as if it was his idea to have one. The reason is simple: out of over 600 prior investigations, not one has resulted in an expulsion or other punishment for the perps. 

Franken has nothing to lose and will likely receive nothing more than a wag of the finger.

"As with all credible allegations of sexual harassment or assault, I believe the Ethics Committee should review the matter. I hope the Democratic Leader will join me on this. Regardless of party, harassment and assault are completely unacceptable--in the workplace or anywhere else," McConnell said in a statement.

So naturally, the Democrats were delighted with McConnell's suggestion and jumped on the idea faster than Bill Clinton on an aide.

Franken said he had a different recollection of the events between him and Tweeden, but just like he made it clear in his dull book, "Giant of the Senate," he will say anything for his political gain, and is an admitted liar.

The main problem is, the Select Committee on Ethics, which started in 1965, is comprised of 3 Senate Democrats and 3 Senate Republicans. This prevents any action that isn't supported by at least one member of the other party, and the senators rarely deviate from party lines. So the committee tends to be more political and less ethical.

The last time the committee took serious action against a sitting senator began in 1992. The Washington Post broke a story that Sen. Bob Packwood (R-OR) had "made uninvited sexual advances to women who have worked for him or with him" which included 10 staffers and lobbyists. The committee was slowed by partisan deadlocks but ultimately, 19 women came forward against Packwood.

Packwood's own diary contained damning evidence (proving he was almost being too stupid to be a U.S. senator but got in just under the wire, like Franken) and it wasn't until September 1995 that the committee completed its investigation and recommended Packwood's expulsion.

Packwood resigned his seat the following day.

The irony regarding McConnell's decision for a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into Franken's 2006 behavior, two years before being elected to the Senate, is palpable. 

In another instance, McConnell cast doubt as to whether the committee has the power to act in such cases. 

Specifically, in 2007, Sen. David Vitter's (R-LA) phone number appeared on a client list for a prostitution ring. McConnell argued that since Vitter was not in the U.S. Senate but in the House of Representatives at that time, there was little the Senate could do.

"It appears whatever might have occurred, occurred before this individual came to the Senate, therefore raising serious questions as to whether the Senate has jurisdiction over it," said McConnell.

Even in a case as clearcut as Packwood's, it took three whole years before anything was done. Franken could die of old age or gross lack of humor before any consequences are meted out.

The Al Frankenmissile: How South Korea plans to bore NoKo to death

South Korea has vowed to develop a powerful "Al Frankenmissile"capable of wiping out NoKo's underground military facilities in spite of the fact that there is no credible evidence the weapon has the sophistication to know where it's heading.

One of the missile's capabilities is that it's so silly looking in flight, the enemy doesn't take it seriously enough to seek shelter. In fact, the sound the Al Frankenmissile makes in flight is difficult to distinguish from ordinary flatulence.

Another problem with the Al Frankenmissile is target acquisition. 

In its first test the missile was programmed to destroy the main palace of Kim Jong Un, dictator of North Korea. Instead, it went off course and simulated a direct hit on the U.S. White House, which would have destroyed top Trump administration officials and democracy.


According to the Korea Herald, military sources revealed the plan about the development of the weapon the day after South Korean President Moon Jae-in and President Trump agreed to scrap an imposed 500g limit on the warheads fitting onto South Korea's missiles. 

In a bold move, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) offered his party's assistance in weaponry development to help the South with what he called "sophisticated stuff that really works." 

Presidents Trump and Moon naively accepted.

However, when it was obvious the Al Frankenmissile tended to "go rogue," South Korea, with the insistence of President Trump, scrapped the project and revised the plan. 

Thus came the Frankenmissile program, which kept the senator's last name but dropped the "Middle Eastern sounding first name," a South Korean official said. "We kept the silly senator's name for our missile because while he failed to deliver the goods, he tried hard," the official added in Korean.

The current South Korean missile already had the range of 800km, allowing it to hit anywhere within the scummy and evil North Korean regime. However, its deterrence capability has, until now, been curbed by a payload restriction of its missiles.

Seoul's new plans with the development of the Frankenmissile, capable of carrying two-ton bombs, will allow it to attack North Korea's extensive underground facilities without having to rely on America's Bunker Bust Bomb.

The Frankenmissile is merely one of several new tactics to increase striking power of the South as the North's dictator Kim Jong Un continues to rapidly accelerate his missile and nuclear weapons program.

Seoul is moving quickly toward a December 1st deadline to set up an elite special brigade tasked with eliminating the North's leadership in the event of war. 

Kim better watch his fat butt.

The "decapitation strike" team is slated to train along with SEAL Team 6, and those guys don't mess around.

"We are in the process of conceptualizing the plan," Defense Minister Song Young-moo told the national parliament in Korean.

Al Franken was overtly disappointed that his given name was not to be used for the new weapon, but he was glad to have the opportunity to try and take out President Trump and the GOP.
