Too bad she can't apologize for her wrongful action against Al Franken beachbum bob Jul 2019 #3

I think she was wrong about Franken, but that has nothing to do with StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #4

Unfortunately Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #6

I think she was wrong and haven't forgotten it StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #8

It wasn't just her Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #10

But they are Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #68

Too bad a puerile desire for perfection denies far too many rationality. LanternWaste Jul 2019 #45

Gillibrand was one of 38. The more interesting question is why one woman is singled silentEcho Jul 2019 #53

What does ANY of this have to do with my OP? StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #59

so you think most of new York has no idea about her ? JI7 Jul 2019 #28

Al Franken. No. democratisphere Jul 2019 #29

you think new Yorkers don't know who Al Franken is ? JI7 Jul 2019 #30
