There is much more to the case of Al Franken than originally reported.

Yes. While at the shooting range this afternoon, I saw a panel discussion. One of the panelists (none of whom I recognized) was one of those arguing that Franken should have received due process. "Then he should have been booted, because he was guilty. I've spoken with other women who were subjected to similar conduct by him. The only issue is that he resigned before due process could prove his guilt."
This was from one of the panelists who wasn't trying to hang him ...

For some odd reason I just can't seem to generate one iota of sympathy for the "man".

Really only serves to remind me how useless of a human Gillibrand is.
And how come we never get a real investigation of vote fraud since Franken came in in an egregious case of keep counting until we get the right results. No early voting, restrict absentee ballots heavily, purple dye the fingers like the sgithole countries that can actually run an election, and oh yeah, prove you are who you say you are.

at least he is sleeping in the bed he helped to make.

Yup.
I (and it's partially a generational thing, probably) could argue that Franken, and Biden too, haven't done anything that we know of that should cause them to be run out of town on a rail regarding their behavior*. However, IMO, they deserve getting "me-too'd" simply because of their big mouths regarding running other guys out of town on a rail for far less "offensive" behavior.
After Kavanaugh, I have become far less interested in "fairness" regarding anyone who supports "me too".
*You can argue that Franken was being a sophomoric High Schooler, but I'm not sure he did anything that deserves being categorized into the "predator" column. Biden is just one of those older "hands-on" guys. Thirty years ago, no one would have batted an eye. Now he's a predator too.

Welcome to the world you helped create Al.

I don't know if Al Franken did anything else, but this photograph alone appears to demonstrate he is a horrible man:

Her comrades should have bitch slapped him for that, at least figuratively.
