Beating well-established Democratic royalty on their home turf by a Muslim is a pretty solid punch in the face.
He even had Clinton’s endorsement. This was a very clear Fuck You to the Democratic party.
“I HAVE SPOKEN!”
“Hey, guys, I have spoken, hear me? Guys? Hey, guys?”
“GODDAMIT, I SAID I’VE SPOKEN, HEAR ME? DO WHAT I SAY! I DEMAND YOU DO WHAT I SAY! HERE’S MY NAME!”
The Art of the Deal, indeed.
There’s a lot of stuff we should nationalize, starting with almost everything the DOGE Goblin owns. We paid for it all, it’s ours.
The people who are setting the rules are VERY aware of ALL of that.
SHE needed one. That’s the only reason. The answer was No for everyone else, but Yes for her. Nobody can kill babies but her.
She should have stood by her religious and political principles, and just rode it out. It was God’s, and MAGA’s, will to put her through that ordeal, and he expected her to accept her fate.
Instead, she defied The MAGA Lord and fought to have a Democratic abortion. She’s a Democrat now, destined for an eternity in a fiery torturous Hell. May God have mercy on her damned Democratic Soul.
/S, nobody really believes that nonsense.
I have to wonder if the Doctors weren’t trolling her a bit. She had an ectopic pregnancy at 5 weeks. Not only is the abortion necessary, it was within the six-week limit, so it was perfectly legal on all counts. So why would they claim they were confused about the law?
I suspect they wanted to teach an arrogant Florida Republican a lesson about politics encroaching on the medical decisions between a doctor and their patient, and made her jump through a bunch of hoops first, just to make her feel the fear, anxiety, anger, and frustration of the average citizen whose medical care is being dictated by MAGA Nazis.
Remember, we are only hearing the side of a professional MAGA Nazi, so she’s a proven liar.

This is the word of a Conservative Sean Hannity operative, who later RETRACTED her statement when it led to his resignation.
It seemed like she actually liked Franken, but in her job as a Hannity operative, she decided to use her connection to him to stir up trouble, and it went further than she expected.
So EVERYTHING she said has to be taken with an enormous grain of salt. She never had to testify under oath, and there wasn’t a single other witness to any of her claims, and she later apologized for how far it went, and expressed regret that she had hurt him so badly.
It was nothing but a Republican smear job, and Schumer jumped on it for his own dirty purposes. Whether you believe the story or not, Schumer had an obligation to resist it and protect his Senator, and he decided to side with the enemy.
As for the rest of his “accusers,” they were all people who got their photos taken at his famous cattle-call photo sessions at the Minnesota State Fair, where he took thousands of photos. He had about 10 seconds with each person, they come up, he grabs them, pulls them in close, smiles, and they snap the photo. In thousands of lightning fast photos, could his hand have landed somewhere odd? Almost certainly. That isn’t assault, it’s just an accident. It’s like accusing someone of sexual assault because someone accidentally briefly touched your body on a crowded bus.
Every person who accused him of inappropriate touching was a rabid Trumper, happy to jump on the smear campaign to destroy Franken. None of them had EVER made the claim before, even in private. One person even claimed he didn’t grab her anywhere inappropriate, she just “knew” it was sexual. Remember, all these accusers waited in a long line to smile and get their picture taken with Al, and never said a word about it until they broke for Trump, and then this smear campaign started. Suddenly, they were traumatized by an assault years before that they had never mentioned to anyone before. And again, none of them ever had to testify to their story under oath. They are all people who follow a guy who is a proven traitor, rapist, racist, who weaponizes lying on a daily basis. Why wouldn’t his rabid fans feel like they can do it too, “for the cause?”
And by the way, NONE of the photographs showed Franken doing anything inappropriate, but because there was no hearings, that was never talked about. One woman claimed he cupped her whole breast for the photo, so where’s the photo? Why didn’t she say anything at the time? Why would Franken sexually assault anyone, knowing it was going to be PHOTOGRAPHED? None of it stand up to the slightest Critical Thinking Skills
Then there were the anonymous accusers who don’t count at all. If you won’t give your name, then you, and your unsubstantiated, unwitnessed, anonymous story, don’t exist. Period.
Maybe he did it, but we’ll never know, because Schumer REFUSED to allow Al to have a hearing in front of the Ethics committee where he could have defended himself, and confronted his accusers. We are complaining because MAGA NAZIs are denying Due Process to immigrants, but here’s a case when the leading Senate Democrat denied Due Process to one of his own.
Schumer betrayed Al Franken, and he betrayed us, by flushing a solid, honest man who had an excellent chance of being president, and establishing a Progressive agenda. It’s vitally important to recognize this incident for what it really was - the Democratic Leadership protecting their own neo-Liberal, Republican-Lite agenda that has led to the rise and dominance of the the MAGA Nazis. Chuck Schumer was the architect of that assault on Al Franken’s reputation, helping the MAGA Nazis rise to power, and he is STILL in that position.
Schumer is standing in the way of the rebellion, and he needs to resign, or be primaried out of office.
He wasn’t groping her, it was a perspective trick. You can even see the shadows from the flash.
This all happened long BEFORE he was a Senator, during a tour of the troops, where she was the customary Playboy model who would play her part in various risque sketches to entertain the troops. She knew about the picture and thought is was funny at the time.
Later, she became a regular feature on Hannity’s show, and one day they brought up this picture. It was the peak of the Me Too witch hunt, and feminists were going after anything they could. The Republicans decided to weaponize this photo, and other Trumpets jumped on it, and made totally unsubstantiated claims.
At the same time Schumer and his state Senate mate Kirsten Gillibrand were plotting her run for president, and were afraid Al would run, too. Al is super smart, extremely funny, very fast on his feet, and is a masterful campaigner. He would clean up in a Democratic primary.
So Schumer used that nasty Republican smear job to order him to resign. Al wanted a hearing by the ethics committee, but Schumer refused, and demanded his resignation.
Of course, Al was an unapologetic Progressive who was a strong supporter of Medicare 4 All, so Schumer wanted him out for that, too. Can’t have a guy like that in the White House.
Imagine if we had Al Franken humiliating HitlerPig on a daily basis.
I’ve hated him since he forced Al Franken to resign rather than defend him over a cheap Republican smear job. The smug little creep embodies everything that is wrong with the Democratic party. It’s long past time for him to go.
Abuse minorities with impunity? There will be so many volunteers they’ll have to hold a lottery.
Where’s the DOGE Goblin when you need him?
He has one use - he will give the order for the military to fire on American citizens. Until then, shut up, and stay out of the way.
I’ve thought about this a lot, and I have a theory - It’s a sign of his Sociopathic/ Psychopathic personality. He’s a severely broken human being, and a textbook example of a sociopath/psychopath, which includes a lack of understanding of all emotions. He doesn’t understand how people feel about things, and doesn’t understand the meanings of descriptive emotional words like Love or Beautiful. Because he can’t feel those things, he literally doesn’t understand what they mean.
OTOH, like most psychopaths, he is aware that others think differently than him, and so he needs to fit in by pretending to understand those concepts. But since he has always been a wealthy arrogant bully, he never really had to learn that skill to survive, he’d do fine even if every one knows he’s a psycho, so he’s never tried that hard. He still pays it lip service though, so he sprinkles those words in occasionally, hoping he’s using them properly, because he can’t be bothered to really care that much.
That’s why we end up with awkward, cringy statements about him and the fat Korean fuckjob “trading beautiful love letters” and “falling in love,” or the “big, beautiful bill,” or this amazing sentence:
“I don’t think that a beautiful baby girl needs – that’s 11 years old – needs to have 30 dolls,”
He just referred to an 11 year old girl as beautiful and a baby, in the same sentence. Not creepy or weird at all. /s
He thinks he is hiding among us by using those normal words, but he uses them so inappropriately that it only draws our attention to how deficient his personality is.
This oversells it. 3.5% is the level at which experts say can cause a “Tipping Point” for a trend to take hold, such as a dad like hula-hoops or yo-yos, to revolutions.
It’s not guaranteed, though.
We ALL told you not to vote for her you spineless loser.
It’s simple - no Democrat should cast a single yes vote for ANY MAGA legislation, ever.
Same guy who just introduced a bill to pull out of NATO. He’s a MAGA Nazi Traitor.
