Wow.
Exactly.
Goddamn we shoot our own all the time for no good reason. We just won a senate seat in Alabama for the first time in 25 years.

What does matter for your money, your health and your immigrant friends is getting rid of Trump. Trumpās bad behavior is sinking in and may give us a lever. Impeachment hearings on whether Trump raped a thirteen year old might provide enough evidence to change more minds.
PPPās newest national poll finds that a majority of voters think Donald Trump should resign from the Presidency because of the allegations of sexual harassment against him. 53% think Trump should step down to just 42% who think he should remain in office. 53% of voters believe the women who have accused Trump of harassment, to 31% who think they arenāt telling the truth.

Works for me and I think the Democratic women think that as well.
I just donāt expect this brand new senator who hasnāt been sworn in yet or talked to any of his new colleagues about their concerns, as far as I know, to start spouting liberal stuff all over the place.

If by āmove onā you mean āto the trialā then okay. If you mean forget the underage rape thing then you can go fuck yourself with the horse Moore rode in on. Sorry, Sassy.

I blame whoever is prepping him for these interviews. His team should have anticipated this question and gave Jones a prepared answer and deflection. He didnāt have to say what he said in order to speak to his base. He could have made the same point without coming across as just another guy making excuses for men behaving badly. He needs a coach and a writer. You hear that Doug? You need a coach and a writer! Chop chop now.

Whatās good for the goose is good for the Trump.
The Court of Public Opinion is better than it used to be. But impeachment hearings would provide a far more rigorous examination of the evidence.
Some economists talk about the āgrabbing handā model of kleptocracy that emerged e.g. in the early transition years of Russia after the collapse of the USSR. Here, the focus is on grabbing public assets like Ryan Zinke or Steve Mnuchin, rather than just grabbing womenās crotch area. Maybe Jones wants us to focus on the grabbing hand model of Trumpism less literally.
Sorta makes me sorry that we sent him money.
No, itās an investment of political capital with the potential for a high return. While Trump will not resign ,it keeps front and center that Trump is a bad actor and it shows women that the Democratic Party cares about their well being.
How very ungrateful, when it was similar allegations against his opponent that tipped the election -just barely!- to him.
What Next? Will heāll start dissing the African American Women who also got him elected?
Good Olā Boy. Greedy Olā Basta*d.
And who says criminal charges canāt be filed against t-rump? I believe there is a 14-year old who was raped amongst his accusers, isnāt there? Rape is illegal, last i heard.

āAware of political realitiesā = kiss-ass to repugs in hopes of getting elected, which will NEVER happen because repugs hate hate hate all dems.
You can remind people heās a bad actor and show women theyāre cared aboutāthe Democrats recently made a pretty big investment in thatāand yet not make a demand that Trump will blithely ignore. Thereās any number of ways to send that message without making yourself look weak in the process.

Lock him up!
Huh?
Thatās not good enough for me. For reasons stated āabove.ā In a world where we have to accept one side of the story, or even a lie, because of the gender of the source, we all lose. We are in a period of disruption and realignment right now, and thatās needed, but we have to remain reasonable. Hopefully this movement will last and help create a society in which the abused feel safe enough to come forward. But Iām not ready to cede the protections of our justice system in the process.
All true, but no politician has ever been forced to resign from office simply because he didnāt keep his campaign promises.
Number One: Trump will never resign over harassing women. Never, ever. Pipe dream. If anyone here even remotely thinks that will happen, you need to get a grip and re-group.
Number Two: Sounds like Jones is finding a life line to keep Franken. Like it or not, heās doing it.
Number Three: Whatever the Dems do to fight trump and the deplorables, trump and the deplorables weaponize that very tactic and throw it back up in Dems faces. Itās a pattern.
Number Four: I wish I were an orthopedic surgeon for all the knee jerk injuries that go around.
