Trump mocks Al Franken over resignation: He folded ‘like a wet rag’

By Tal Axelrod - 10/04/18 09:23 PM EDT


President Trump mocked former Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.) at a campaign rally in Minnesota Thursday for resigning following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

“That guy was wacky. Boy did he fold up like a wet rag, huh?” Trump said at a rally in Rochester in Franken's home state.

“He was gone so fast, I don’t want to mention Al Franken’s name, he was gone so fast,” he added.

   What purpose does this serve? Is it just as some of us debated yesterday, Just 'Red Meat' for the base? 
   Juvenile, but that's how he rolls, I must get use to it.

Yep; it is how he rolls.  You need to save some of that pique for the democrats.

Ridicule works,  the Left has been doing it to our side for years.

Now it's our turn to throw it back in their faces.

I'm sure Rush will do 10 minutes tomorrow on the brilliant 4D chess move by Trump here.  Thank goodness we have a "Trump whisperer" to clue us in everyday. /sarc

It serves to inject this idiot Frankin back into the news cycle to remind everyone that while the Rats charge Kav with this shit, they actually do it.

They like their juvenile.  It is the way he rolls.  It was so funny people trying to say he wasn't mocking the other day.  Of course he was.  If you like it fine, but don't be dishonest.  Mocking is mocking.  Trumps a mocker.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

I don't know if you have been in a coma the last month, but google a guy named Kavanaugh and Senate Hearings and get back to me about why you think these Rats do not deserve to be treated like pig shit.

:amen:  In this new era, it's a necessity.  Mocking is essential. 
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

I am outraged also.  I want to see her held accountable for character assassination.  I want the whole thing to unravel.  I want an investigation into Feinstein, Blasey Ford and the lawyers.  I want to see the whole thing come out in full view of political assassination.

The mocking is for Trump.  Trump does it for himself because the act works for him.  If you like it you do.  If you don't you don't.  I might be a little old fashioned, but not old.  Not appealing to me.

It the same culture that works for Democrats that makes Trumps shows work for him.  Its a moral decline.  Watch any new television show.  Ugliness works.  Its a show.

Wasting a whole lot of time here listening to you.  Complete waste of time with big group worship.

@Chosen Daughter   I really resent your reference to 'group worship.'

Please get a clue.  Supporting our President does not mean we worship him.

How about your 'group whining?'

Somewhere, among the 70+ pages of the original Kavanaugh live thread, I said something similar.  The MSM decided the spectacle was worth covering and the supporters decided it was worth watching.  We shouldn’t be terribly surprised the president is a borscht belt insult comic and everything has now become a sideshow.

Yeah, because things were so much better when your pal Bush hid under his desk in the Oval Office while the Rats and MSM went full tilt crazy.

I seem to recall the nation was doing pretty well, economically, under Bush 43, until summer 2008.  That time bomb was built by Carter and strengthened by Clinton.  W repeatedly warned the subprime loans were going to be a problem.  Nobody cared....until they did....then blamed him for it.     :shrug:

Really? It was all a fraud built on free money, deep subprime loans and Greenspan allowing Wall Street to go 100% hog wild. You cite '08 as being the last of the good times? Guess you were on vacation when the Rats took congress in '06 because things beginning to circle the drain. But that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. This is about punching the MSM and Rats in the face repeatedly instead of never defending yourself and letting the entire party's name turn to mud.

You’re absolutely high if you think anything Trump does is for the benefit of a party or anyone else besides himself.
