So three of his accusers are going on Megan Kellys 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 Frankens resignation after allegations far less substantiated than these. If I was into optimistic conspiracy theories Id ask if it was a long game. Im 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.

(58,785 posts)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?

Repubs just don't care if he abused women.

(30,745 posts)Let's keep the heat on Moore until after that election. Then go after 45.
Both are guilty, tRump endorsed Moore. Shine the light and you don't see just one cockroach.

(30,745 posts)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.

(41,986 posts)I understand the inclination, believe me, but it IS harmful.
StarryNite
(9,446 posts)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!

(2,771 posts)Look where we are, indeed. Its quite demoralizing. I cant 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. Its better than hopelessness. Ours must be a long game, but a ceaseless one. Its better if we can look up.

(41,986 posts)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.
