Rep. Louie Gohmert unveiled a maddening visual aide depicting the connections between Russia, Uranium One, and just about everyone and everything else you’ve ever heard of.
“yes it does stink because Louie Gohmert just charted.”
I’ve driven through Louie Gohmert’s northeast Texas Congressional district a lot over the years, going to visit in-laws in Mississippi. Most of his constituents are poor to middle class workers whose real interests he, along with the rest of the GOP, is actively damaging. But they’re entertained by his stupid performance art, and think because he talks about God that he’s on their side.

I think that’s the most sad thing about the GOP base. These are people who are actually pretty hurt by GOP policies but they keep on voting for these guys because they hate liberals, Democrats, and liberal policies that much more.

I’ve been reading pieces from women arguing against Franken resigning or being given the boot. But they all contain the tacit assumption that he can no longer be a leader on womens’ issues. I’m not so sure. In fact I could see how just the opposite could be true.
Let’s assume for the moment that there are no follow-on accusations, that this is as bad as it gets.
Franken COULD take the position that we need to be and do so much more, because even men like him who strive to be allies may fail, by presuming consent, by taking silence as assent, by failing to realize the damage something that seems playful can do. That seems a better way back from the wilderness than keeping his head down for two years and hoping everyone forgets. He has to answer any question about it not only with a ‘mea cupla’, but also follow up with what it means that even men of good conscience fail and how that hurts women and what we need to do to stop it.

Former state Sen. Ralph Shortey agrees to plead guilty to child sex trafficking charge
OKLAHOMA CITY — Former state Sen. Ralph Shortey has agreed to plead guilty to a child sex trafficking offense for offering to pay a 17-year-old boy for sexual “stuff” last March.
In exchange for his guilty plea, federal prosecutors have agreed to drop three child pornography counts against him.
A jury trial for Shorty had been set to begin Dec. 5 in Oklahoma City federal court. He is now scheduled to plead guilty Nov. 30 instead.
If this was Ray Moore molesting a 17 year old would be a freebee.

My ex-boyfriend called me up last Sunday to ask me to dream up a name for his new consulting LLC. After I did that, I asked him where he’d gone to church this weekend. Well, he’d gone to the very liberal Methodist church Sunday morning, which is a newish thing since he has been so much a “I must go to mass every Sunday” Catholic. Then he said, “I went to St. XXXXXX’s [name omitted to protect it from vilification for stupidity] on Saturday night and I really don’t want to tell you about it because you’ll get upset.” Well, I finally pried it out of him: since it was Memorial Day weekend, the church had an American flag on a stand up at the altar AND an American flag in the back of the church and there was some overwhelming patriotic nonsense during the mass.
I wasn’t upset; instead I said to him, “I’m having trouble peeling my hand off my face from all the facepalming.” But the bigger point is that Christianity in America is in grave trouble when nationalism is more important than Jesus.

Earlier this month, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio complained about wealthy Russians like Abramovich planting their roots in his city.
De Blasio said these Russians ‘basically stole the wealth of their country with the help of their government’ and are now using those ‘ill-gotten gains’ to buy a lot of property, which he called a ‘problem’.
Abramovich reportedly made his fortune in rigged privatized auctions.
‘I don’t like it one bit. I wish I had a specific law or approach to address it. I haven’t found one yet. But, of course, it’s distressing,’ de Blasio said.
Abramovich has been credited with helping bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to power.

It’s the sort of rule you’d see in the old-school fundamentalist Christian churches, essentially amounting to, “Every girl or woman must be supervised in the presence of men.” You can imagine how restrictive that is on the participation of women in church activities.

re: #15 Joe Bacon 🌹
That’s why I walked out of a church my aunt made me go to. I refused to listen to any more bullshit from a Pulpit Pimp about Wall Street needing more tax cuts!
Except for (other people’s) weddings and funerals, the last time I attended a service was one Christmas while I was in college. The vicar spouted such egregious bullshit that I couldn’t take it, and walked home. I expected fury when the rest of the family came back, but all that happened was that my mother asked if I was ill, I said No, and she said “Thought not.” My dad never said a word about it. If there were a heaven, I trust they would both be comfortable.

Of course there will be - and have been. People do bizarre shit and some of them make up stories about celebrities. I’ve never liked the expression “believe the women”. It should be “take complaints seriously and do a real investigation.” We can’t know whether something is true right off. At least we should follow the twentyfour hour rule.

So none of you have so far seen anything to cause you to questions that Tweeden’s account might not be 100% on the up and up. You are still 100% certain Franken grabbed her breasts while she was sleeping and stuck his tongue down her throat during a rehearsal?
re: #8 Blind Frog Belly White
I’ve been reading pieces from women arguing against Franken resigning or being given the boot. But they all contain the tacit assumption that he can no longer be a leader on womens’ issues. I’m not so sure. In fact I could see how just the opposite could be true.
Let’s assume for the moment that there are no follow-on accusations, that this is as bad as it gets.
Franken COULD take the position that we need to be and do so much more, because even men like him who strive to be allies may fail, by presuming consent, by taking silence as assent, by failing to realize the damage something that seems playful can do. That seems a better way back from the wilderness than keeping his head down for two years and hoping everyone forgets. He has to answer any question about it not only with a ‘mea cupla’, but also follow up with what it means that even men of good conscience fail and how that hurts women and what we need to do to stop it.
Regardless everything that has happened in politics in the last month - democrat supporters are still talking about Franken. You have been so conned by the RW media - suddenly this is more important than taking away health care, raising taxes on the poor, wiping out national parks, colluding with Russia, lying to congress etc etc
But democrats continue to be their own worst enemies.

I speak from experience. Basically, no. Inertia is too great to even try to tuck your appendages in. Best outcome in that situation is you kick both shoes (skis come off) and ride it out and hope you don’t bonk your head on something. Surprisingly, crashes like that often don’t result in serious injury, unless you tomahawk off another cliff or into some trees.

I, personally, am 100% certain of nothing, and have been since the scandal broke. It is serious, the accusations deserve to be taken seriously, but if there turns out to be no merit to them, I think that deserves to be taken equally seriously. Please do not put words in my mouth.
My goal wasn’t to put words in your mouth. Rather, I was originally fairly convinced her story was completely on the up and up despite knowing she was at affiliated with Fox. Things I have seen since make me think that while obviously the picture and skit were crude and inappropriate that there might be embellishment involved. Of key note, the media is still talking about the Franken groping her, despite the fact that the groping allegation is based on a picture which does not actually show groping.

Well, as unpopular as it seems to be…this may be a political hit. Also, the GOP is working hard to get him out of office while covering for all their other crap like Trump and Moore.
The cases are not equal and the punishment probably won’t be either. The GOP would love to have Franken resign sooner than later and having the left assist that happening is icing on the cake.
That may look good politically and be bad politically. Sticky situation.

There’s a bit of “perfect being the enemy of the good” here. We want to be the party that is better than Republicans. And we are; it really isn’t even a contest. But, there are humans in the Democratic party. We are flawed, and even the best of us screw up at times.
As for dealing with Franken, if we’re not going to time travel back to when he did that picture and stop him, then we have to accept that the event occurred, which is not the same as accepting that it’s OK. But, as with lots of events that have occurred, such as car wrecks, we still have other things to take care of, the big one being this tax cut that’s about to gut America.
He apologized, and she’s accepted. Right now, he’s the foremost expert on apologizing for these transgressions, which still makes him better than Trump and Moore, and that guy in Oklahoma who’s about to go to prison.
If it gets brought up outside of here, the conversation probably needs to go something like “It was sad what he did, and I’m disappointed. He’s a apologized, and hopefully it was the only thing he did. But I don’t really want to talk about Trump and Moore right now, because that tax cut for millionaires bill is going to make it very hard for my son to be in grad school, and will ruin America for years. How are we going to stop it?”

The problem there is that there is a massive ego problem in the reporting of female-on-male sexual assault. Most men don’t want to admit that a woman made unwanted advances. More still refuse to report it because “everybody knows that a woman can’t sexually assault a man”. The incidence rate of female-on-male sexual assault is probably vastly underreported. That being said, I do agree that men most likely commit the majority of sexual assault crimes.
