• My father was a Carlin fan, I would take his albums and started reading his books when I was maybe 14. It was a part of my education that I wish every American shared. We’d be much better off. Al Franken’s books, too.

      It still pisses me off how they did Franken. They cancelled him for absolutely no reason and you know the Dems were so excited to get an actual progressive out of the party.

        Can y’all provide some context here?

        I vaguely remember they forced him to resign over something that others never resigned?

          He made a joke photo where it looked like he was grabbing a sleeping friend co-worker by the breasts. That’s it. It was clearly a joke. He was immediately purged because the Democrats were happy to get rid of a progressive.
