And I'm holding a permanent grudge against Gillenbrand for her part in this.

I've had more nasty experiences with on-the-job sexual harassment than you can shake a stick at. And immature, goofy photos were the least of my concerns.

Meanwhile, we've lost a true progressive voice. Thanks a lot.

I hope New York State progressives voters won't forget either. Gillibrand is a Republican in Democratic clothing.

I can't even watch news channels anymore. It's so depressing.

I just want to stay indoors and hug my doggie.

I'll always wonder about the ulterior motives of some Senate Democrats, and the cowardly buckling under of others.

It would go well in either Video and Multimedia, or GD. Please repost in either of those. Thanks.
