About this 45 accuser Press conference tomorrow.

[nolabear]

So three of his accusers are going on Megan Kelly’s Show andvthen having a press conference in which they are expected to demand that Congress take some kind of action against 45.

This puts the Democrats at least in an interesting position. They demanded Franken’s resignation after allegations far less substantiated than these. If I was into optimistic conspiracy theories I’d ask if it was a long game. I’m not but it certainly will be interesting to see what happens. We know what the monsters will do. What the Dems do could mean a lot.

1. K&R...

[Hortensis]

25. Really? So, if it's not time to impeach, AND IT'S NOT,

if our Democratic leadership don't allow some Fox shark in TV to push them any direction at all, it means "a lot"?

I think we should prepare for the usual types on DU to claim that ignoring this little commercial stunt means our great Democratic Party, guardian of our liberties, is incompetent and our leadership needs to be removed. That's "the lot."

Btw, am I the only one here who suspects that many of the kind of people who think 32 Democratic senators should be primaried didn't really vote Democrat in 2016? Why on earth would they have?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. K&R!!

[Kirk Lover]

3. Oh I didn't know they were holding a presser afterwards to demand action. We should demand

action too !

[mopinko]

4. censure him.

we cant impeach him, yet, but censure him. hold a hearing, in public, let the women testify. put it all in the record.
it's there when we get rid of this scourge, even if it takes till 2020.

[BigmanPigman]

7. Exactly, they should have done this months ago!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Yes, but, better late than never.

[greeny2323]

5. I don't think the Dems will do anything

Gotta keep that powder dry!

[Binkie The Clown]

8. And the Republicans will ignore the whole thing like it never happened. nt

[Orrex]

31. Has Pelosi pre-emptively confirmed that impeachment is off the table yet?

[Denzil_DC]

6. They're revving up the Debunking Machine on Twitter and going after them already.

It's going to be hardball.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. Batter up!!

[Bibluca]

9. Sorry to say

but it won't change a thing. It'll be big news for a day or two, Trump will deny it all, Congress will do nothing, and it will be forgotten again.

Repubs just don't care if he abused women.

[Doodley]

11. Trump is at around his lowest approval and if anything can help to keep pushing his numbers down,

even if a little bit, I'm all for it.

[murielm99]

10. I wish they would hold off.

Let's keep the heat on Moore until after that election. Then go after 45.

[rufus dog]

12. Why?

Both are guilty, tRump endorsed Moore. Shine the light and you don't see just one cockroach.

[murielm99]

13. Because so many people are distracted by the

controversy of the day that they forget what else is happening. And the media capitalizes on this.

Let's keep Moore in the spotlight for a few days, then focus on 45. Step on the closest cockroach, then move on to the next.

[truestwords]

21. I see your point. It's really hard though to know what will work.

The world is turned upside down, as far as I'm concerned.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. If anything, this will amplify the focus on Moore just in time for the election Tuesday...

perhaps the plan?! Seems like a good one!

[nolabear]

14. Its interesting how many people are always bleak about outcomes.

I don’t get that. “They won’t do anything” or “it’s just a distraction”. Why the hopelessness?

[StarryNite]

16. Because look where we are now.

tRump never should have become president and yet...

[nolabear]

17. But if you become hopeless or promote it you guarantee it continues.

I understand the inclination, believe me, but it IS harmful.

[StarryNite]

19. For sure we can't give up...

but we also can't ignore what's been happening either. It does get depressing to see how tRump has gotten away with everything so far. Nothing sticks to that orange piece of crap! I just don't get it!

[BadgerMom]

18. I agree, nolabear. Being Eeyore is not helpful and is probably harmful.

Look where we are, indeed. It’s quite demoralizing. I can’t wallow in it, though. I know I feel better with goals to reach for and actions to take. I realize that, at best, I can only chip away at a vast mountain. It’s better than hopelessness. Ours must be a long game, but a ceaseless one. It’s better if we can look up.

[nolabear]

30. I agree. And respect how hard it is. Its a real resistance.

I read about wartime resistances as a kid. I never imagined how insidious our own government could become. But we have to keep working, everybit as much as the 60s activists.

[Atticus]

33. Thank you! Too often it seems the discussion is side-tracked from "What should we do?" to

"Why bother?". It would be bad enough if it was "just" fear and apathy, but I sometimes wonder if it isn't intentional disruption by fans of the Dark Side.

[ffr]

15. Keeping the pressure on Dotard is good. We need democrats to show up at the polls on Tuesday

To unseat the Republican pedophile. If he however does win, tRump will probably fire Mueller soon after. He'll be emboldened by the congressional and unconstitutional republican firewall of injustice.

[C Moon]

20. I'm just hoping this doesn't numb the Alabama voters to their own control freak bastard.

[Kentonio]

22. They're using Trump to try and distract from Moore's crimes

By doing this now, they remind people that the two are the same.

[oberliner]

23. Republicans control Congress

The Democrats can't do anything without them.

[democrank]

24. K & R

[Achilleaze]

26. republicans do not do honor or integrity

so they will pay no attention whatsoever to the lying, cheating, treasonous, sexual predator they have chosen to be their republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

[Guilded Lilly]

32. Get the slimy bastard any way possible. Keep the predator issue in the headlines!
