54. What, exactly, has been proven that SO disgusts you that Franken has to resign?

Thu Dec 7, 2017, 09:22 AM

Dec 2017

What has he admitted to...

And what might just be a "hitjob" by the likes of the dirty trickster ratfucking repukes that now run the country?

Remember that just a week ago Project Veritas was trying to plant a phony Moore accuser into WaPo so as to discredit the entire story about this child molester. What makes you think they wouldn't ALSO dredge up just enough "fake stories" about Franken so that we kill one of our own in our rush to be morally pure?
