Al FRANKEN.

[liner33]

Al Franken was the agent of his own demise though

[Eric Mc]

He probably was - but I am sure there are many more like him in the crossover world of entertaining and satire who could come unstuck if some agency decides to do an exposé.

Another dumb question. I can't think how he would know their beliefs as it isn't like he went to school with them or anything... Oh wait.

sorry but there is no way all 50 of them had the same political beliefs (if any at that age), maybe we'll find out about his motivations later, he might speak about that in court

Yeah, maybe he didn't like the school motto or the colour of the school uniform.

From what I can tell having a quick look noticed no one have bothered to bring up the news that Trump is in favour of improvements in gun control.

This thread should be renamed
45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP HATE THREAD. Because that's all it is.

He has a far better chance of getting gun more controls through than Obama ever did. His supporters are far more likely to listen to him. They may not be the very strong reforms but any improvement is better than none surely and be supported.

There is zero chance of him pushing anything that resembles gun control. The only reason he's mentioned it (and incredibly vaguely as you will have noted) is to deflect the short-term criticism that he is getting for opposing GC. he knows where is core support is; primarily swivel eyed right-wing frothers who think the 2nd amendment is sacrosanct. There is no way on god's green earth that he's going to do anything to upset them

[Byker28i]

Still - he got given a bag of hopes and prayers because he seemed to be running out

And apparently was a nice relief from all the scandals of the last few weeks...

That and about a year ago he rolled back the mental health restrictions Obama enacted. Because...reasons?

Does that just seem like the GOP are trolling folk?

the guy had photos on instagram with communist symbols and allah akbar pictures as well

You're not thinking of this are you? Because that's not him, despite it being claimed that it was at the time.

And the Allahu Akbar picture was a definition with him commenting something like 'so this is why the sank monkeys do what they do'.

What they'll cry and wail like the swivel eyed left wing frothers do?

Ijeoma Oluo herself has called this out as false reporting - she said today that she wrote her piece after Franken announced he was stepping down, so they can't have weaponised it to get rid of him. She criticised Newsweek for not simply asking her about her article before they ran the story.

Christ, this is really sick.

Why oh why would you give Trump a bag of prayers?
He’s not God. At least I don’t think he is.

It never ceases to amaze me how many folks in the states still offer up prayers, in all seriousness, as grown-ups. I work in the cruise ship business, and last year we were heavily affected by hurricanes Irma, Harvey, and Jose. Americans routinely 'send prayers' to those in the path of this weather, apparently not understanding whatever it is they are praying to must have first created the issue...

I present, the GOP....

Have to love the double standard in all politics.

He does seem to be going on a big twitter rant the last few days? Too much Fox News or something else up?

Not much different to the way boxers slag each other off before a big fight and then are all respectful when it's over.

All is fair in love, war, boxing and politics.
