Hooray.....Al Franken topics are down to only 8 threads here on DU.

[a kennedy]

That’s a good thing....because this morning it was at 30+ Has anything else taken over the discussion or is it just because we’ve said everything we could about him.

1. The Stone smear accomplished it's purpose

We are turning on each other.

[rzemanfl]

2. The bots and trolls are out in force too, as you know. n/t

[orangecrush]

13. Yep

And the deep sleepers came out as well for this one.

Something big going down this coming week?

[rockfordfile]

6. Well I think that certain people are clearly

Well I think that certain people are clearly trying to push a agenda and are doing it for the right-wing. You have Russia, Tax breaks, and all of the other sick things the GOP/Trump are doing to our country.

[orangecrush]

14. I believe nearly all here

Are sincere, and passionate about their beliefs.

That is the difference between us and them.

It doesn't matter what theirs do, ala Moore and Trump, they can be guilty as hell and as long as they promise to ban abortions, take away healthcare and screw with minorities, they will still back them 100%.

Our side is principled, and they have figured out exactly how to use that to their advantage.

I'm with NanceGreggs on this one.

Time to take the gloves off.

And if I get bloodied in the process, that is the price I pay.

There is too much at stake to let them get away with it.

3. This looks like a Franken thread to me.

[lame54]

4. Is that counting this one?

[NCTraveler]

5. From a kennedy, no less.

[marybourg]

7. Well, it certainly isn't the tax scam bill (1 thread)

[PoliticAverse]

8. Be the change you want to see. n/t

[bagelsforbreakfast]

9. The cosmic joke is when Al started out on SNL it was

always the punctuation of a routine for him to say "Me, Al Franken."

[DonViejo]

10. Does your OP make it 9?

[L. Coyote]

11. Meanwhile, the billionaires have their lackeys stealing a TRILLION $$$ PLUS per year for them.

And we get to borrow the money back to cover the deficit, pay interest on it for 20 years, and have our children pay off the debt someday.

All told, the billionaires get double what they steal!

[MrModerate]

12. Lots of DUers need to get their bullshit detectors recalibrated.

They get out of spec from overuse, after all.

[orangecrush]

16. Which is the whole idea

Of them flooding us with bullshit.

Putin did exactly the same thing.

Even used the same terminology.

"alternative facts".

[jalan48]

15. Refreshing to see Bernie isn't getting his daily snark.

[PDittie]

17. On topic

It processed through the news cycle more rapidly even than is typical, due IMO to his appropriate handling of it.

[a kennedy]

18. I agree, and am so happy about it too.
