"Trump was a prince compared to Clinton." . . . Please come CAPTION Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)!!!





Joni Enst is saying, "I don't follow you at all, George, I think receiving sexual favors in the Oval Office from an underling is one-thousand times worse than asking for a little favor over the phone. It undermines the sexual fabric of the nation, giving license to those who would deny our roots, the Puritans and their historic determination. Without firm moral ground, the nation would have soon decayed. . . . I'm sure every right thinking American agrees with me."

we try to channel our subjects' stupidity, avarice, cupidity, mendacity, or as here, duplicity.

She simply made the false equivalency. I exaggerated it for the purposes of satire. (But it's getting increasingly difficult to satirize these spuds.)

All this Constitution stuff is so over my head, it is unfair of you to ask me these kinds of gotcha questions. I mean Jake, I don't even know why I'm here talking to you. You work for Fake News CNN, for Christ's sake. Oh man, this is really giving me a headache. Look Jake, I just want to make sure all those Trumpers living in Steve King's district, aka Vichey Iowa, stay loyal to me and help me get re-elected. God forbid one of those liberals from Des Moines or Iowa City beat me in the upcoming election. What would I do? I got a little tired of castrating all those pigs, don't ya know? Anyway, yeah sure Trump was shaking down Zelensky, but who really cares? We need all those 40 year old right wing nut jobs on the judiciary to protect the unborn. And besides, Mitch told me if I voted any other way he was cutting off the gravel train of all that dark money. Thanks for having me on Jake!"

If one tries to channel one of these deranged, self-loathing assh*les too precisely, one might become "stuck." . . . Just as your mother cautioned you about crossing your eyes, . . . Well, the same principle applies to fixing on their lexical-mental-pathological outpourings, one could become forever "stuck" in that pathological stream of semi-thoughts.

At least you might try to avoid thousands in future therapist fees. (It's too late for me.)

related crimes. His pussy grabbing. His walking in to dressing rooms because he could. His sexual assaults on women. His accused rapes.

The climate was right to hold him accountable for all these crimes. We had the 'me too' movement working for us. We had Cosby. We had Roger Ailes. We had Hollywood stars and moguls going down. Weinstein. Epstein. Prince Andrew. etc, etc, etc.

We held their feet to the fire and they were banished from their pedestals

If we would have kept the pressure on Trump - he too could have been banished. His Repug protectors would not go there to protect him. It would have been political suicide for them to protect him.

If we would have pushed this sexual issue they couldn’t have shielded Trump. Too volatile of an issue and women would have crucified any Repug if they tried to protect Trump in those cases.

Just think about how those other guys I mentioned above went down. Look what Joni Ernst is saying about Clinton. At least Clinton’s dalliance was with someone that was consenting. Really Joni - Trump is a prince compared too Clinton?

The ‘me too’ movement was and is too powerful and the issue is too sensitive and close to the hearts and minds of women.

Instead we gave Trump a pass. We enabled him. We let these opportunities slip through our grasp. Comics made jokes about him. During that period where Trump was under the gun – we and the MSM supported Trump more than the women accusers.

We lost our best opportunity to remove him. Look where it got us.

Looks like it might be a wig, but one can't be sure. Hairpiece or not, payback will loom large for Joni come November.

I will go and give DJT a blowjob in the oval office while hugging a King James Bible.

My qualifications are that I do own a blue dress. Plus I'm old. The media can hammer me all they want, I won't have to live with it very long. My only request is that I be provided with a year's supply of disinfectant. It will take that long to get the stank off.
