I like Al....I think he has a future in the Cabinet and then, who knows?

He is smart, articulate and gets the job done.

In the DeVos hearing Franken not only spot lighted her complete ignorance and incompetence for the position, he stressed her deep connection to the Far Right long game.

In Gorsuch's hearing. Franken framed Gorsuch as not only a robotic, indecently callous judicial strategist;
Franken strongly drew Gorsuch connex, like DeVos, to their (and their familys') historic far right anti democratic long game.


Franken seemed well aware of both the DeVos and Gorsuch Family histories of fighting to move us from representative democracy to a Russian style oligarchy. eg Gorsuch's Mother as Reagan's EPA Chief was one of the first visible appointments of this political strategy....in her case an anti EPA Head of the EPA... now it's become Trump's kakistocracy playbook.

I hope that Americans listen to Al Franken , he continues to provide deeply intelligent analysis of the Trump far right agenda and its corrupt march towards destroying our democracy.

Franken is simply democracy's best messenger right now.

In his explanation of his causes for concern and suspicion over Comey's firing, Al Franken leaves no stone unturned. That's a lot more thorough than I could ever be - he even brings up things that I failed to consider - or didn't even know about, as if to close down all the possible excuses / escape routes for the Donald. Way to go, Al!
