As Bad As Trump
The Franken-Photo should be the iconic image used to explain how men in power think and feel about women.
And, it’s much worse than it seems.
Franken felt so empowered that he wanted a “pic” of the moment for posterity.
He wanted to preen as he documented his authority.
Not only that, he wanted to be looking straight on at the camera.
You know what that says?
I’m proud that I can ape taking advantage of women when they are asleep and especially vulnerable.
He’s an instant entrant into the maggot hall of fame.
There he joins Trump after his “grab’em by the pussy” soliloquy.
Only Trump would have the narcissistic fake gravitas to tweet about Franken’s conduct given his own debased behavior where women are concerned.
Parenthetically, Franken-Photo proves the stunning power of imagery especially over audio.
You can’t “trump” it.
They are scumbags and we would be better off to be rid of them both.
