(1,639 posts). . . in some sort of afterlife, do you think that it will be Jordan or Franken who will be stamped as someone who didn't care about the dignity and bodily integrity of others?
Whatever gaffs Franken may or may not have committed in his physical expression of social connections, he didn't turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to serious sexual abuse.

(15,243 posts)It used to start High School fights in the days when I started teaching. As I had it explained to me it meant I am older and wiser than you, the equivalent of calling somebody boy. I never heard it used as a racial insult but am sure that was possible. The come back dont call me son and Im not your boy.

(51,284 posts)Couldnt a Democrat on the committee have pointed that out.
I think Adam Schiff is doing a great job. I not only admire his steely dignity I think its exactly the right way for him to go. But someone on that committee should be dedicated to calling out this crap.
Whether the next hearings in the House are in the Intelligence Committee or the Judiciary Committee or in the Senate trial, Democrats should assign one staffer dedicated only to crazy Republican blather and pass it on to a member who will act as an enforcer. That will create a few viral moments that will be hard for most Americans to escape entirely.
Its jujitsu. Their dishonesty and stupidity and cynicism is one of their most powerful weapons. It should also be one of ours.
