I really like Al Franken, and I don't think he needed to resign. That being said there was far more to his accusations than one picture. You're already in the untruthful column here.
Quote:Cuomo faces multiple accusations...his own party wants him to resign.
Also untrue. Some people in his own party want him to resign, not all. Honestly, I haven't heard much about him at all lately, I guess his "own party" is content now that it's out of the news cycle? In any event, he's still in office and shows no signs of resigning. How many accusers now? How recently?
Quote:Trump faces multiple accusations and refuses to give DNA that would exonerate him. Fake news.
For some. I was on record before he was POTUS talking about a friend who was personally groped by him. Clinton stayed in office after taking advantage of an intern, and he was also accused of rape. No one apparently believes that survivor.
Quote:Kavanaugh faces accusations...where the accuser goes under oath. She couldn't remember.
Eh, the Kavanaugh thing had a lot of problems. I really don't want to pick scabs, but let's suffice to say that the case against him wasn't exactly rock solid.
Quote:There is zero chance the gop turns it's collective back on Gaetz unless there is solid proof and even then they will try and spin it because he is one of them.
Is that right?

It's constantly amusing how blindly partisan you are, yet you, and others, "don't see it".

A good point on both ends.
Quote:I, for one, am willing to let the investigation play out before really casting aspersions. I trust Gaetz about, well, not at all, really. He is garbage. But these are serious accusations and it is still an ongoing investigation.
He doesn't inspire anything close to confidence in me, either. But you're absolutely correct, let the investigation play out.
