    Dear former Senator Al Franken,
    I love you, I think you're wonderful, thoughtful and way smarter than the average bear and especially smarter than most sitting senators at present. I beseech you, to please
    run for any governing position you feel good about going for. Your values, your viewpoint, your honorable ability to honestly give peace a chance, is highly and deeply required by our USA and all we democracy loving peeps who live in it. Democracy itself wants our wholehearted attention for a change. You're my and many others, #1 choice, not only to speak the truth of what matters but to light all the lights so that every word in the Constitution and those compassionately written upon the statue of Liberty shine brighter than ever before. It's a new now and all those 80 year olds in government will soon retire so they won't have to lose their seats, like the Maggie Traitor Green's, the
    LoRun Boburps, that Krissy Enema
    or the Joey Manchild types,
    definitely will. Thank Heavens.
    Lastly, in order to be and remain
    true to myself, I must add that I believe all of us around the world are made of the same stardust, by any name, wherever we may be on our journey to divine enlightenment. Therefore, I wish everyone, even those I could never hang out or hang around with, Blessings of LoveLight
    🕊✨✌✨🕊

      He's telling them " I have no proof," and then speaks like a gossiper.
      So, he washes his hands before lying.
      Same as tRump when he says b.s. like "l believe...," and he washes his hands, he doesn't have to prove a thing, then insert a favorite rumor/lie/hearsay/gossip that he wants to push as a talking point.
      I.e. "I believe.... that I had the largest crowd supporting me, but the lying press won't talk about that..." (about the talking points I am trying to push.)

      Ya know Robert; many people hide their embarrassment, as you clearly do, by ridiculing truth tellers because you have no other way to express your rightwing bullshit. It's either that, or the never-ending WHATABOUTISMS dead horse you continue to beat when you have no reasonable argument. The GOP, supported by their propaganda mouthpiece known as FAUX NEWS is a domestic terrorist organization bent on destroying the constitution and rule of law. Cult 45 called the Dems snowflakes and told them to move on, even after trump's puppet master, Putin, because he knew he could control him, helped him to be installed into the white house. Did Dems attack the capitol building in an attempted coup & go looking for the VP of their OWN party to hang him because he had no authority to change the election results because he didn't like the results? Obviously, cult 45 has no knowledge, nor cares to have, about how the government works, & believes everything trump said for no other reason than that he said it, so it MUST be true. Even before he got the republican nomination, he was lying every time he opened his mouth, about everything, especially his bullshit campaign promises, NONE of which he kept, because they were never MEANT to be kept but, the cult was gullible enough to believe anything & he knew it. In fact, he said, long before he ran for president, that he'd run as a republican because they're stupid enough to believe anything. Obviously, he was right. HIS words, not mine. Even after this long, trump & his conspiracy theorists continue to use his bullshit election lies because they know you'll believe them & keep you angry enough to act out violently on his behalf, while he watches you on TV, enjoying every minute of it because you're doing his dirty work, just like the idiotic traitorous senators who attempted to prevent the certification of the electoral votes & are no less guilty than the mob who attacked the building, & SHOULD be on trial for sedition. What's WORSE is that millions of the cult would vote for him again because even AFTER 60 failed court cases & absolutely NO evidence found, EVEN by Bill Barr, the cult still believe the lies.

    In the early days of the pandemic, there was an article in the Boston Globe about traveling nurses. One nurse who came to Boston from Alabama was genuinely shocked when she came to Boston, asked how many patients at her new hospital had COVID, and was told, "All of them". She commented something like, "You have to remember, where I come from there are people who are still trying to decide if this is real or not." All I could think was, wow, don't they have the news in Alabama??
