Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

1. She is leading on this issue and not taking shit from the asshole-in-chief. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. She won't be bullied. She won't be cowed. She won't back down

[Gabi Hayes]

3. maybe if she'd gone after trump BEFORE she engineered Franken's demise,

I'd give it some thought.......

what she said now won't make a difference....nothing will with his cult followers

all mixed into the deplorable cake batter

[LexVegas]

4. "she engineered Franken's demise"

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. I see no humor in that.

We are losing a very effective senator.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. What I don't understand...

What I don't understand is why the 37 other Democratic senators who joined her aren't similarly criticized. I saw a thread the other day rightfully lauding Cory Booker for campaigning for Doug Jones. He called for Franken's resignation shortly after Senator Gillibrand.

[Bleacher Creature]

32. I'd even go a step further.

She's the junior Senator from New York. The senior Senator is Chuck Schumer, who is also the Minority Leader and former chair of the DSCC. I'd be shocked if she didn't give Schumer a call in advance letting him know what she was about to do. In fact, more likely than not Schumer was orchestrating the whole thing and gave Gillibrand a high profile role in the whole ordeal. Remember, Schumer allegedly spoke by phone with Franken numerous times to ask him to step down.

But for some reason people here only feel comfortable attacking Gillibrand.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. I'm getting burned out litigating the Franken allegations.

I believe the Dems cleared the decks to go after Chump and Pedo Moore should he be elected. The recent focus on Chump's victims seems to bear me out. In another environment Franken likely survives. That is not to say, while he is not in the same class as miscreants like Moore and Trump, Franken's actions weren't disturbing.

If there was an investigation, the due process often discussed here, we would likely be where we are at now with proof that some of the incidents indeed occurring as Franken maintains, with him remembering them differently.

[TheCowsCameHome]

38. Because she led the mob.

I am very disappointed at the others, including my two in Massachusetts.

[Gabi Hayes]

11. will you still be rolling lolling if a pug takes his seat?

funny funny stuff!!!

if you don't think she did what she did to AF as a first step towards her 2020 election run, you're even........I'll let you figure that one out

[LexVegas]

14. ...

[Gabi Hayes]

20. that's the best you can do in the real possibility of a needless loss of a senate seat

a vital senate vote?

please continue to snooze; makes me not have to waste time reading nonsensical, illogical drivel

enjoy your bubble of unreality

[LexVegas]

23. ...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. 2018 is shaping up to be a Blue Wave.

If we can't hold a seat in blueish purple Minnesota we have larger problems, much larger problems...

[Gabi Hayes]

31. hope you're right, but with gerrymandering, along with the most outrageous

voter suppression tactics, along with lord knows what sort of electronic finagling at the ballot box (seen what's going on in Alabama with the disallowing of reference to actual paper ballots in favor of manipulatable screenshots?), I'm afraid that anything's possible

and who knows what sort of inroads the Russians are making, with full cooperation of this admin

scares the you know what (trump) out of me

[Bradical79]

55. It's just very stupid

It's just idiotic that people are blaming her for Frankin. It's a lie people tell to justify their anger over their favorite Senator leaving.

[Trumpocalypse]

21. I doubt the democratic governor of Minn.

will be appointing a republican to replace Franken.

[Gabi Hayes]

29. that's obvious, but there's a thread up here already that suggests that

the wing nuts are going to go hard after that seat during the regular election

goes without saying anyway. they have unlimited resources, along unlimited disregard for the truth, which makes it much easier to run a campaign

they're even more transparent in their employment of the nazi/soviet propaganda techniques of old, after discovering just how easy it is to tell the most outlandish lies imaginable, and have them...work!

they're succeeding beyond their wildest dreams

look what they've done to the country in less than a year

[crazycatlady]

57. Please Michele Bachmann run in the GOP primary

Please please please!

[Kirk Lover]

60. The Omnipotent Lord Gillibrand dontchaknow?

[ollie10]

64. So....why don't you call it fake news?

Of course she was right there leading the lynch mob

[Egnever]

7. Agreed

Her rush to judgment makes her very dangerous in my eyes. I am not inclined to trade one despot for another.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. If you...

If you think the junior senator from NY is a despot there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.

[Egnever]

12. No there is not

She showed me clearly what she is made of and the more I learn about her the less I find her suitable.


Trump is a monster but she is not the answer.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. I don't know if I will be supporting her for president.

I do know I support her in her battle against Trump and sexual abuse and harassment.

[Egnever]

18. Be my guest

I wont be joining you.

[True Dough]

27. That's a good way to put it

She's definitely worthy of all of our support in taking on Trump, even if some DUers disagree with her stance on Franken.

[LanternWaste]

33. As she possesses no absolute power, in what regard specifically do you consider her a despot?

As she possesses no absolute power, in what regard specifically do you consider her a despot?

(Or is 'despot' simply a pejorative you keep in your pocket to use when accuracy is inconvenient?)

[Egnever]

35. She is trying to attain that power

and she would have plenty of power were she president.

Trading one for the other implies she would be taking that power. Pretty simple to figure out.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. She went after Trump the day after he was inaugurated

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4650727/senator-gillibrand-speaks-womens-march-washington


Fuck Trump's Deplorable acolytes. They are a 1/3 of the population.Let the lost take care of the lost. I care about the other 2/3.

[ollie10]

65. Please supply a link to her asking Trump to resign the day after he was inaugurated

She asked Franken first I believe.

A true Democrat wouldn't have had it bass ackwards like that

[Hortensis]

15. Don't you mean 32 Democratic senator, INCLUDING BERNIE SANDERS,

asked Sanders to resign?

That group, by the way, was lead by 13 female senators. WHO told yesterday's angry mob to focus all their passion and blame on Democrat MS. Senator Gillibrand, leaving no attention for her fellow "deplorable," MR. Senator Sanders?

RIP, Bernie Sanders.

[Egnever]

22. Yup all 32 of them

I am especially pissed at Schummer He is supposed to be the senate leader if that is an example of our leadership we are lost.

[Hortensis]

30. Oh, Schumer's a good guy: HE called for the ethics investigation.

(Ms. Pelosi's HOUSE minority leader, not in the senate.)

The Hill: Schumer calls for ethics investigation after Franken allegations

WaPo: Leading Senate Democrats call for ethics investigation into Al Franken

Nope, the leadership wanted to investigate to see if Franken should be supported or asked to return. 13 OTHER female senators asked Franken to just resign, and were joined by 19 OTHER male senators. Plus, several other senators of both sexes suggested he should consider resigning.

[Egnever]

36. I don't see him as a good guy in this

He did the right thing in the beginning and then called Franken repeatedly to ask him to resign. His instincts were right in the beginning but then he turned around and went with the mob.

[Hortensis]

37. Why am I not surprised?

Today tens of millions of people who know who they are for and who against and have no need to question their beliefs will vote for Roy Moore.

[Egnever]

42. What an odd response.

the two situations are completely different.

And should Moore get into office will you not be calling for an ethics investigation?

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. How about Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi?

Aren't they the Democratic party leaders? Shouldn't they be leading the charge? Why are they not ripping into Trump?

Their silence totally disgusts me, at times like this.

[MoonRiver]

16. Probably just means they're not running for president in 2020.

Kirsten has to do something to fix all the damage she's done to herself and her political ambitions.

[Hortensis]

19. THEY didn't call for Al's resignation. BERNIE SANDERS did.

Sanders and Gillibrand denounced Trump as a political maneuver, seeking political cover from the wildfire that sprang up on far left against Democrats.

At least Gillibrand did with angry fires scorching her political butt. I guess Sanders just saw her running and thought it was a good idea. These are his people, after all, or at least the ones he seeks to lead, but they're a bit out of his control right now.

[TheCowsCameHome]

40. Schumer said Franken should resign, IIRC.

Or did I misread that?

[Hortensis]

43. MINORITY LEADER Schumer called for the ethics investigation,

joined by the rest of the Democratic leadership. Very quickly also.

If you didn't read THAT, yes, you did misread.

[TheCowsCameHome]

59. Schumer called on him to resign,

along with many others in the party, after the mob got rolling.

It's out there.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

6. Succor? :)

Now that's a word you don't hear often........

[Polly Hennessey]

24. Oh, my, the screw is turning.

She will get no support from me.

[LexVegas]

25. She's devastated.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. Sad that some are withholding succor for Kirsten after Trump implied she was a prostitute.

[Egnever]

39. That sort of hyperbole is exactly why we are at this point

He didn't call her a prostitute and it is utterly transparent when you pretend he did.

I am not inclined to support Cheeto but when you twist his words into ridiculous hyperbole you play right into his trap.

[MrsCoffee]

44. Is Warren spewing hyperbole as well?

Link to tweet

[Egnever]

49. Yup and we need to knock it off

Plenty to go after him in that tweet but over playing your hand is not a good strategy IMHO.

When he turns around and says she came to him asking for money and now the Dems are calling her a whore how will that work out?

[MrsCoffee]

51. Yeah, I'm done with this conversation.

What a ridiculous spin.

[Tipperary]

54. I simply do not see her as a victim. She railroaded Franken. She wanted to be in the news.

Now she is. I would imagine she is enjoying it. She has been willing to play hardball so now she is in it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

62. Trump said she would do anything for money.

When somebody makes an ambiguous statement, especially an insulting one, it's up to the listeners to draw any inference they want.

Trump suggested Kirsten Gillibrand would do anything for money. The logical inference is Trump is suggesting she would have sex for it.

When he turns around and says she came to him asking for money and now the Dems are calling her a whore how will that work out?

They will say she was looking for a campaign donation. They won't say she was offering her body for it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. Here is Trump's

Here is Chump's defamatory tweet in all its sexist and misogynistic glory:

If you believe Donald Trump wasn't insinuating Senator Gillibrand is a prostitute there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion. I am walking to the McDonalds across the street to by my girlfriend breakfast. When I return I will be giving more succor to Senator Gillibrand.

[eissa]

41. Well, she IS a lightweight and disloyal.

I'm sure she's thrilled that 45 is giving her the prestige she so desperately wants by picking a fight with her. Doesn't change the fact that she threw one of our brightest Senators under the bus, based on flimsy accusations, for her own political gain.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

47. I am deeply saddened that you would so casually dismiss a victim of Trump's savagery.

I stand with her any anybody who speaks out against sexual harassment and abuse.

[LexVegas]

53. Is Warren a lightweight? How 'bout Bernie?

[BannonsLiver]

56. I tend to agree.

Had someone else tell me in another thread that Gillibrand brought Trump down today. All by herself.

I guess Mueller can stand down.

[LexVegas]

61. Agreeing with Trump? Awesome.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

63. I rather be dropped off the Burj Khalifa than agree with Chump.

[OnDoutside]

46. But, but, her staff already disregard those who are not from her state, as we've seen when they

were so quick to dismiss those callers who were disgusted with her knifing Franken in the back. So no point in contacting them.

i'm still too hurt and angry toward all of the democrats who bullied Al Franken into announcing he will resign.

i know everyone makes mistakes. hopefully these people will realize what a huge mistake it was sooner rather than later.
