How is a noncitizen resident of California supposed to "deal with it", exactly?

How exactly do you deport someone from an island country on a bus? I guess that explains why it's such a hellhole.

Surely people here realize that it'd be capital B Bad for Franken to actually have to face an investigation and deal with whatever comes out, right? Franken is far better off just resigning than letting decades of dirty laundry be aired.

So with that Sheldon Whitehouse quote, what was the context in which he said "Find something more serious" or something?

Anything short of Franken resigning today, before lunch, eliminates the Democrat moral high ground in the Roy Moore fiasco.
This.

Democrats: Unless you want a Senator who represents the toothless hillbilly coalition for 3 years, you'd better clean up this Franken mess post-haste.


What Franken does himself is irrelevant. No mainstream Democrats are defending what he did.

The timing is deeply suspicious. Why did she feel the need to wait until this moment to make these allegations? Leeann Tweeden is obviously a Moore supporter. When will republicans stop trying to smear a decent man?

It is comforting to see many Atlas posters put their money where their mouths are. I was not expecting to see so many of the usual suspects call for his resignation.

And ofc he should resign.

I beg to differ. No matter who brings up the allegations, and the timing, we need to look into it. There's pretty solid evidence he did it, too, and he even ADMITTED to it.

The evidence is extremely strong, I think he should resign immediately. I mean, the picture. The picture.

True, but this doesn't excuse him from his actions nonetheless.

Tweeden's statement has given me pause, too. Still think he should resign. He's become a distraction.

It's deeply unfair to men of good character and/or people who are redeeming themselves that they resign just because of Roy Moore.
If you’re a sexual harasser you’re not a man of good character.
Franken has been fighting for working families in the US Senate for 8 years, and shows signs of cleaning up his act. He deserves a chance.

Hang on. If he's admitted to it, then what exactly is an ethics investigation gonna do? Lol.

He needs to get out. Sooner rather than later.

Honestly the fact that he's still a United States Senator is disgusting.

He should've resigned around noon.
