58. So to you, a joke photo in front of many witnesses

Fri Nov 17, 2017, 04:10 PM

Nov 2017

of Sen Franken, not quite touching a Kevlar vest, is the same as Roy Moore
tearing a girl's shirt and giving her neck bruises from trying to force her facinto his crotch,
then throwing her on the ground and threatening her before peeling out is the same
as what Franken did. Okay USALiberal. Sure thing.

Ah, the concern over how a GOP'er is treated. R B Garr Nov 2017 #18

We should bash Dems when they do something stupid. Or ignore it like the GOP does I guess. n/t USALiberal Nov 2017 #20

Or not cater to false equivalencies... R B Garr Nov 2017 #22

In your mind I guess that is true. n/t USALiberal Nov 2017 #25
