    Al Franken you are missed! I've appreciated your humorous outlook (SNL) and common sense polical leadership (when you were in Congress) for decades! Thank you for you and for assisting the National rise of Tim Walz! May you be richly blessed as you are a rich blessing to others! 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸

      Sweetheart, you should, seriously, have your information correct BEFORE you comment! Al Franken, although hilarious, intelligent - quite brilliant, actually - and a GREAT Senator, was certainly NOT a Senator " for decades!" I, however, just like yourself - and SO, SO Many others - wish, SO, SO, SO, SO MUCH, that he'd return. He'd - almost definitely win, were he to run again. It's very sad, as well, too, because he's said, on more than one occasion, how much he misses being a Senator, a public servant... working for the people; and he truly was, unlike so many others in the job, a man who genuinely was "working for the people, " while in his capacity as Senator! Many - maybe even Most, sadly - are, while in the same, or similar, position, working for no other reason but their own EGOS and/ or personal financial enrichment - and I REALLY DO MEAN "ENRICHMENT!" The average Senator or congressional representative is worth, at the end of, say, a ten year stint in D.C, worn approximately between $7 - 900,000,000 dollars!! WTHF?!?! To put that in perspective : the SALARY OF SENATORS AND/OR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES IS ANYWHERE FROM $125,000 AND $250,000!!! TO HELP YOU GAIN MORE PERSPECTIVE : MITCH MCCONNELL, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 AND A HALF DECADES IN D.C. (AFTER HAVING A NET WORTH OF $35,000 WHEN HE BEGAN) HAS A NET WORTH OF $900 MILLION - AND THAT'S WHAT HE ADMITS TO HAVING... BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE, APPARENTLY, THINKS ADMITTING TO BEING A BILLIONAIRE MIGHT HURT HIM POLITICALLY. IT'S HILARIOUS HOW MANY OF THEM HAVE THAT PARTICULAR NET WORTH...🤔🤔🤔. ● TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, BERNIE SANDERS, AFTER SIMILAR LENGTH OF TIME IN D.C., AS A TRUE PUBLIC SERVANT, HAS A NET WORTH OF APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION DOLLARS. THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS WHAT THE REST SHOULD HAVE - GIVE OR TAKE A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND. THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SALARIES BEING WHAT THEY ARE, IS THAT U.S. GOVERNMENT JOBS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE JOBS THAT WOULD APPEAL TO PEOPLE - WHEN OUR GOVERNMENT WAS SET UP, 200 YRS AGO - WHO WERE NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY, BUT BECAUSE THEY CARED, TRULY, ABOUT BEING A PUBLIC SERVANT. NOW, WE KNOW WHAT BERNIE IS WORTH, BUT WHAT MADE THE OTHERS - NOT ALL, BUT MANY - SO FILTHY RICH...? DO YOU THINK THEY'RE MOONLIGHTING BY DRIVING FOR UBER AT NIGHT? HMMMMM?
      ●●ALL FRANKEN WAS/IS A TRUE, DECENT PUBLIC SERVANT! HE WAS ASHAMED OF A MISTAKE HE MADE MANY YEARS AGO, THOUGHT IT WAS UNBECOMING OF A MAN IN HIS POSITION - WHICH, IT IS, BUT HE'D DONE IT YEARS EARLIER, HE ADMITTED HIS WRONG, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE APOLOGIZED!! HE DIDN'T NEED TO RESIGN. THE THING IS, THOUGH, THAT HE IS AN UPRIGHT PERSON, SO HE DID. HE DID WHAT NO REPUBLICAN WOULD EVER DO. IT'S SAD, BECAUSE, ON ONE HAND, WE NEED THE KIND OF MAN WHO WILL DO THE RIGHT THING - ON HIS OWN, WITHOUT BEING FORCED. ON THE OTHER HAND, WE NEED THAT PERSON IN GOVERNMENT...NOT RESIGNING!!!!! IT'S A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD, ISN'T IT?!?

      And it was Senator Franken who caught Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions lying about Trump campaign meetings with Russian government officials during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Franken forced Sessions to recuse himself from all Department of Justice investigations related to the 2016 election. Those investigations led to the first Trump impeachment for Obstruction of Justice. There likely would have been no (first) Trump impeachment were it not for Senator Al Franken.

    Al Franken is one of the genius minds of our time. Being a great and prodigious comedy writer is an extreme expression of intelligence. As a senator, he was one of the most clear spoken legislators, arguably, of all time. And he had to resign, because, while on a comedy tour many years ago, he took a funny picture in questionable taste.
