I will be turning Rachel Maddow off when her guest comes on.

[rzemanfl]

That is all I have to say. Anyone else with me on this?

[redstateblues]

1. What guest?

[jcgoldie]

2. Gillibrand

...

[USALiberal]

3. Me too! nt

[vlyons]

4. No I want to have my own experience of her

Being in Texas, I haven't had much opportunity to get to know her. I shall use my own discriminating awareness to evaluate what I see.

[rzemanfl]

5. I hope your experience is better than Franken's. n/t

[vlyons]

23. I'm entitled to listen and make up my mind about what I hear

You got a problem with that?

[rzemanfl]

28. None at all. n/t

[Raven123]

7. Same here.

[rzemanfl]

9. See above. n/t

[jcgoldie]

10. I agree

I'm a huge Franken fan and I don't see myself letting go of that either. But I do like that she has had a very liberal voting record in the Senate and that she openly talks about making her campaign about gender. Given what happened to HRC, thats an issue that obviously needs to be addressed head on. The Franken thing is real baggage for me, but I will listen to her... it's all hands on deck.

[Raine]

18. Me too

I don't know much about her except what happened with Franken but she wasn't the only one who ganged up on him.

[Funtatlaguy]

22. No, but she led the charge and was the most vocal.

[Raine]

25. after listening to her I wasn't impressed

so beyond the horrible thing she did to Franken I see no reason to give her my vote she gets a from me.

[bdamomma]

24. thinking about this

when Franken was not given a chance to present his case to Committee he was just let go. Was this decision from both parties?? or just one?

Was Franken's grilling of Jeff Sessions hitting a nerve???? seems so to me.

[rzemanfl]

29. Franken was the victim of a

first word "rat" second word I won't say.

[bdamomma]

34. so sad

[notdarkyet]

6. Me.

[doc03]

8. I will watch but will not vote for her unless she ends up being the Democratic

nominee. She is still better than a Republican.

[rzemanfl]

11. Our cat is better than a Republican. n/t

[TexasTowelie]

17. I can still be persuaded to vote for your cat

if you bribe me with some of the chronic catnip--no questions asked.

[bdamomma]

26. nt

like that.

[mommymarine2003]

12. My reaction, too.

I just switched to CNN when I saw that she was on MSNBC. How funny it was to get on DU just now and see that others had the same idea. I don't think I can ever forgive her for what she did to Al Franken.

[rzemanfl]

14. A very belated welcome to DU is in order. n/t

[dem4decades]

13. Remember when Franken caught the last AG in a lie?

And he had to recuse himself? Al wasn't there this week and we're worse off for it.

Who led the charge against him?

Enough said.

[dalton99a]

15. Not watching

[revmclaren]

16. May tune in on the later rebroadcast of Rachel's show

but I'm going to avoid seeing even a moment of Gillibrand.

ONLY! 2019 and beyond.

[redstateblues]

19. Yeah- she is rated one of the 5 most progressive Senators. Off with her head!

[bdamomma]

20. I'm not impressed with her.

snip of article:


The Trump administration pushed Republican lawmakers not to support the resolution introduced by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, which would have prevented the administration from lifting the sanctions.

"Forty-two Republican senators chose today to stand with Vladimir Putin," Schumer said in a statement. "I’m extremely disappointed that many of my Republican colleagues are too afraid of breaking with President Trump to stand up to a thug."


McConnell,...………... karma is going to bite his a$$

Sorry I'm off topic.

[ProudLib72]

21. Nope, not going to watch it.

[lostnfound]

27. Gosh I miss Al Franken.

Authenticity is the best.

[JohnnyLib2]

30. If her candidacy takes off, Al Franken's comments about it will be critical.

So, we wait and watch....

[rzemanfl]

35. Critical as in crucial or critical like "if it wasn't for her?" n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

37. Crucial. He could help or hurt her chances.

[brooklynite]

40. Answer: Franken won't say anything about it.

He might well endorse a particular candidate, but he won't be critical of anyone else.

[elfin]

31. Ditto nt

[democratisphere]

32. Fortunately I am already engrossed in "Vikings".

[rzemanfl]

36. I have about four weeks DVR'd. Gotta get around to them. n/t

[democratisphere]

38. Things are getting very intense and ugly on "Vikings".

Needs to be viewed one episode at a time to avoid extreme bad human behavior overload!

[rzemanfl]

42. As if there isn't enough risk of that by watching the news.

Thanks for the warning.

[912gdm]

33. good for you

[Polly Hennessey]

39. I turned her off.

Have no desire to see or listen to her.

[Gothmog]

41. Same here

I am watching this episode on dvr
