i don't want to hear another word about franken resigning or getting expelled until gianforte goes!

gianforte is the republican congresscritter from montana who assaulted a reporter the day before the election and subsequently *pled guilty*.

republicans control the house with a comfortable margin and would most likely keep the seat anyway were it to become vacated. strategically, it's pretty easy for them to give him up in order to get more credibility in attacks against franken.

but that's not even on the table, their higher priority is talking alabamans into electing a pedophile (oh, excuse me, ephebophile and possibly hebephile. ok, let's just say he's a child molester) to the senate with the help of a promise to maybe expel him at some point. unless their fingers are crossed behind their backs.

never mind donnie, a serial predator who has confessed on tape.


let's keep the pressure on donnie and moore and gianforte, who are all *way, way* worse than anything franken is even accused of.

1. It's say, Trump should go first. Trump has been accused by multiple women.

Yet there he is, and republicans don't seem to have an issue. And they voted for him despite all the accusations.

gianforte is low-hanging fruit. his vote in the house is never going to be the deciding vote on anything and he's got an actual conviction.

republican actually are standing by a member with a rap sheet!

unbelievable!

and yet they have the gall to talk about expelling franken, who couldn't possibly get convicted for i don't even know what. there's no way any prosecutor would even bring charges.

can we not get rid of actual criminals, please?
