Sen. Franken saying there is 'no small irony' in the fact that he is resigning due to allegations, while POTUS sits in office and Moore retains GOP support, both with multiple accusations
Al Franken: resigned
"All women deserve to be heard and taken seriously"
"Some of the allegations are simply not true some I remember very differently"
"Important part of the conversation is about how men have abused their power to hurt women"
[The irony is not lost] "that I am leaving while the man who bragged on tape sits in the oval office"
"I may be resigning my seat but I am not giving up my voice"
What CoSo is: A solid place to have a rational discussion that isn't skewed by trolls or sock-puppet dipshits trying to create division.
What CoSo isn't: A haven for any one political ideology. There are all kinds here, and that's how we like it.

How #effed up is it when a #pedophile is endorsed by the #GOP? Wasn't that long ago when the #Dems were being smeared by #fakenews stories about #pizzaparlor pedophilia rings. Now it's a #Repub campaign event. #WTF
Could there possibly be anything to this? That would be pretty f*#%d up.

I’m still stumbling on the mental and moral gymnastics required to refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple because you can’t endorse homosexuality but voting for a pedophile because the GOP is the only party that supports your values.

"Donald Trump Jr. asked Russian lawyer for info on Clinton Foundation"
"Don Jr. asked Natalia Veselnitskaya at the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting whether she had evidence of illegal donations to the Clinton Foundation, Veselnitskaya told the Senate Judiciary Cmte in answers to written questions obtained exclusively by NBC News."

GOP losing members.
I had been wondering about this, particularly in connection with the polls that keep showing nearly complete support for Trump among Republicans. But indeed the number of people identifying as GOP is falling. Somewhat encouraging.

@BlueStateBabe @ZonaPellucida I've given up reporting on that site. The last time I reported an obvious Aryan white power account (as in "Aryan" was literally in it's name), I used one of their anti-Semitic posts to do it - they're still there and doing their thing. Looked like the site didn't even put the brakes on them.
@ZonaPellucida Wow - after reading your post, I checked on the account of the one I had successfully reported...and it is still there. He hasn't posted in two days. SO do they just lock the account for a few days and then let them go back to hate speech?
@ZonaPellucida That has happened to me at least half a dozen times. I report, I get the "thanks for letting us know, they're in violation", so I head on over and it's business as usual, not so much as a restricted sign on the door.
