Republicans are now dropping like flies. The next one to go down.
Blake Farenthold could be the next to step down. Republican of Texas
Joe Barton nudes pics online could also faced the Anthony Weiner treatment. He could have a relationship with an underage girl who lied about her age online.

What do these assclowns think? Or, alternately, I guess they don't. Jesus, power must make these guys stupid.

Hey, if we get serious about pursuing this, we might not need term limits.

This is not a right vs left issue. Anyone guilty of inappropriate behavior needs to go.

just another "hence, DJT"
not one single bit of this would've materialized if ANYONE else was POTUS.....and if it would've, it would've been sucked into a vacuum at the the speed o' light....
the #swamp is far reaching......the #swamp has nothing to do with attacking just the dippos on the left....
the dippos are everywhere....

Actually, David distorted things as usual. It was "harassment," not assault.
Articles are vague and just talk about him asking two staffers to be surrogates for him and his wife (they had already done it once before and had twins). That in and of itself is a little odd at a place of employment, but doesn't constitute "harassment." Now there may be a lot more there. The two employees are no longer working for him.
Just find it kind of odd that CNN and WaPo don't give a lot of salacious additional details.

Assault is assault no matter what it is. Rape is a physical assault that results in pain. Touching is a minor physical assault that causes no harm to the victim. Verbal assault is Verbally talking to the women about sex and all that.

Unless something else comes out, how does asking two staffers about being surrogates for he and his wife, constitute sexual harassment? Stupid maybe, but sexual harassment? His reason for resigning in today's environment sounds reasonable.
Quote:In his statement, Franks acknowledged he made staffers "uncomfortable" and that he discussed fertility issues and surrogacy with two female staffers, but denied having ever "physically intimidated, coerced, or had, or attempted to have, any sexual contact with any member of my congressional staff."
"But in the midst of this current cultural and media climate, I am deeply convinced I would be unable to complete a fair House Ethics investigation before distorted and sensationalized versions of this story would put me, my family, my staff, and my noble colleagues in the House of Representatives through hyperbolized public excoriation," Franks said in his statement. "Rather than allow a sensationalized trial by media damage those things I love most, this morning I notified House leadership that I will be leaving Congress as of January 31st, 2018."
