Yavin4's JournalFranken will resign. Moore will win in ALA. And, the Tax bill will be passed and signed into law.
But, the Democrats won the moral high ground. Congrats. I hope that there's some sort of trophy that comes with that. So that when SS and Medicare are being destroyed with budget cuts and Moore is writing legislation to strip citizenship rights from the LGBTQ community, we can all look fondly at the Moral High Ground trophy.
Franken's accusers need to come forward.
If Trump's, Moore's, and Conyers' accusers can come forward so too can Franken's. And, no, Leeann Tweeden's accusation is not evidence of harassment given the overall tone of humor of that USO show and other photos.
If we let anonymous accusers force our progressive politicians to resign, then we are done. Absolutely done. The Koch-Mercer-Murdoch-Breitbart right wing complex will cut a check to anyone willing to make an anonymous accusation, and poof! We have to resign.
The accusers of Trump, Moore, and Conyers came forward, offered detailed evidence, and spoke on the record about what happened. Saying that Franken grabbed by butt during a photo or tried to kiss me without coming on the record in person is not enough to demand that a senator resign.
Anyone who is demanding that Franken resign is giving Trump and the Republicans a huge, big fat weapon to destroy us with. Meanwhile, they gleefully elect sexual predators to the senate.

Billionaires are money hoarders pure and simple.
No human being needs a billion US dollars. In fact, even $100 million is probably too much. Once you've acquired enough wealth to provide for your family, your grandchildren, and heck, even your extended family, it's neither healthy nor normal for you as a human or for society to keep acquiring money. It's unnatural and unhealthy. At that point in your life, you should seek fulfillment by helping out others and improving the overall condition of mankind on the planet.
Mueller: It's like watching a master chess player. Taking key pieces off the board.
One by one leaving the king is completely vulnerable.
Stop calling him, "The President" or "Mr. President" or "President Trump"
If he's going to degrade the office, then he should not be addressed with its title. Let's start a social campaign to stop calling him "The President".
