Fake Allies

I've read that Al Franken wants to make a comeback to politics. Why won't he just go away? There's still left-wing idiots who are mad that he resigned, saying it was "feminism run amok" when #MeToo exposed him. Fuck those hypocrites. Letting Franken back in shows that you don't have any principles, that you'll overlook transgressions as long as the guy is in your party. That's fucking ugly. So many people kept minimizing the accusations from the start, saying "that photo was just a joke" and "touching women's butts is not the same as rape." Well of course it's not the same, but it is harassment! If it's seriously creepy when you hear that George H.W. Bush kept touching women who took photos with him, then why isn't it seriously creepy if Al Franken did it? And no, it's not "just a joke" if she was asleep and didn't find out about the "joke" until later. It was without her consent. She wasn't allowed to be in on the joke. Fuck anybody still defending Franken.

The sheen has also worn off on Michael Avenatti, considering the shady stuff he's done, and his ego-driven hinting that he'll run for President in 2020. For awhile he said he was taking cases about the families being separated at the border, but after a time, there was nothing more. So did he actually do anything? Did he drop the cases or hand them off to other lawyers? Maybe he was just an attention whore and we fell for it. But our eyes are opened now.

We need real allies, not these people pretending to help. I still say fuck Bernie Sanders too, who went back to being an Independent but continues to try to lecture Democrats on what they should do. If you don't want to help, then get out of the fucking way.

ETA: Just read that Bush senior died late Friday night. I don't necessarily believe in "don't speak ill of the dead." It was creepy hearing that he took advantage of being in a wheelchair to cop a feel on various women; people wanted to excuse it as dementia or something like that. Anyway, he's gone now, so we'll probably get the usual eulogizing of a former President. Given how the Bushes disliked the Trumps, I wonder if they'll be disinvited from that funeral too.
