Doesn't Franken get to keep his pension and benefits?  Not a bad gig if you can get it.  There is something which goes along with power, a sense of entitlement.  I'm just waiting for a whole flood of allegations to come out about other members of Congress.  Maybe we have finally found a way to really drain the swamp!

Some take ownership, but the real swamp creatures just change their story.

And strangely, so do the accusers.

Beverly Young Nelson has finally admitted that she forged a portion of the infamous high school yearbook that she and attorney Gloria Allred used as proof of her accusations against U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore.

Its Faux.


Fox News deletes misleading headline blaming Roy Moore accuser of "forgery"

Its along the same lines as the video where Sessions claimed people (including his own staff) questioning Draconian marijuana laws are all saying marijuana is "harmless."    There's a name for that.

If you buy that kind of stuff, then you really love how Roy Moore thinks we were last great when we had slavery...  his words - not mine.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Small steps...a victory for common decency in Alabama... finally!!  Congratulations!!

Sadly, there are still over 600,000 sychophants, pedophiles, and Klanners who support Moore in Alabama.  Jim Inhofe and Breadburner - Oklahoma - big supporters, too.  Eternal vigilance is required.

The national media is claiming this morning that Jones' victory is a major repudiation of Republicans and Trump and could be a sign of what is to come in the mid-terms. 

I'm not sure I buy this near as much as the allegations against Moore are what sank him.  Of course the strong backing from Steve Bannon could have been an issue.  Bannon is a horrible human, much like Moore is apparently.  Candidates would do well to shy away from endorsements from Trump and Bannon in the 2018 mid-terms.

Congratulations to the voters of Alabama who chose the betterment of their country and their state over crass partisanship. We need moral people in the world's most powerful deliberative body. Perhaps, just perhaps, this is the beginning of a sea change in our politics. We can hope.

May you live in interesting times.

This election, taken by itself, I would agree, but there are other changes nationally that have to give Republicans huge pause. For example in Jenks we now have a young, female, gay Democrat as State Senator, so, we will see.

Everybody claims a mandate - Trump did it with the slimmest of margins - the Dems are gonna do it here, also with the slimmest of margins.

I think you are right - probably 2/3 of it was Moore self-inflicted.  Bannon is very good buddies with Trump, and between the two of them, the other 1/3 of the "problem" was here.
