46. Looks like the Donnie Short Fingers accusers need to get tweeting!

Nov 2017

Maybe MJ Lee can find some woman or 24 women who were groped or flat out raped by Donnie Short Fingers.

I think we should visit her twitter page and encourage her to talk to some of those women.

Not looking good for Franken. nt LexVegas Nov 2017 #1
Does that picture show him cupping her breast? spotthebird Nov 2017 #64

Yeah, looks like time to say good bye to Franken. lagomorph777 Nov 2017 #49
Not looking good for Franken @1st blush, but, we should at least give him a chance to respond InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #86
Franken is fine Kimchijeon Nov 2017 #150

Yah, I see it now, it's just my heart sank with another accuser....... a kennedy Nov 2017 #16
My heart sank with another accuser as well. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #24
There must be thousands of photos of Franken with women out there. None so far show him groping them brush Nov 2017 #107
I think there is a very good chance he is being targeted. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #117
Of course they happen off camera. So why would Franken commit harassment on camera? brush Nov 2017 #118
I'm afraid he is being targeted too rsong71 Nov 2017 #145
I'm willing to bet she trying to get her 15 min shooting into the barrel. n/t woodsprite Nov 2017 #32
So, I guess he only gropes republicans? GoCubsGo Nov 2017 #25
It seems to be only republican accusers who want to be identified, and two supposed still_one Nov 2017 #34
This is what I find most odd. This groping is only occurring in open public places with Kirk Lover Nov 2017 #48
It really doesn't. While Franken does not discount what the accusers are saying, it sure seems that still_one Nov 2017 #59
That is not what he said. I believe the women making these claims are lying and Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #73
I know....he only gropes whilst taking public photos ?? AGAIN MAKES NO SENSE. Kirk Lover Nov 2017 #74
There is no way he said "I think they are lying", and you know it. still_one Nov 2017 #76

Thank you ...I fixed my post to show I think the women are lying...Franken has not said that. Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #106
Probably not...they want to force a resignation...as they know these trumped up lies will never Demsrule86 Dec 2017 #152
Al wont resign nor should he still_one Dec 2017 #153
No he shouldn't. The GOP lies must not be accepted. Also, I am sure we know about some on their Demsrule86 Dec 2017 #154
BING-fucking-O!! KPN Nov 2017 #94
Agreed wryter2000 Nov 2017 #113

I'm sorry, I don't believe the woman angstlessk Nov 2017 #17
How would he even be able to get to her breast, based on the photo? LisaL Nov 2017 #20
I guess they were left alone so he could grope her.. angstlessk Nov 2017 #27
It does not seem possible for him to have grabbed her breast in the position they were posed. Tipperary Nov 2017 #41
I don't buy it, either. JawJaw Nov 2017 #35

I don't beleive her. bitterross Nov 2017 #58
Okay, not try to defend Franken necessarily... Adrahil Nov 2017 #60
Al is going to have to strongly deny this. He has no choice but to put out a statement of denial. AJT Nov 2017 #67
I don't agree. Attacking the 'victims' will get him bad press. Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #88
He has clearly asked for an investigation. Whether Congress actually does that or not is up in the still_one Nov 2017 #90
The republicans will drag their feet so it won't be done before the election. AJT Nov 2017 #96
You should post the pic in the OP JI7 Nov 2017 #68

Get ready for another round of "the accuser is lying" posts oberliner Nov 2017 #116
Well, get ready for the counterpoint from those who've been throwing around counter-accusations Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #123
There is an identified accuser today oberliner Nov 2017 #125
And her claim is being subjected to scrutiny, as are her possible motives. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #134
Exactly oberliner Nov 2017 #138
Alrighty. How many of those accusing Franken have engaged counsel? Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #149
We can always count on the same posters to show up with the same arguments. brush Nov 2017 #127
I will proudly make the same argument against these awful responses oberliner Nov 2017 #137
Some just don't automatically believe anonymous accusers with photos that show the opposite... brush Nov 2017 #143
