Women For All!

Weird Al Franken has two more accusers. He is not even pretending to apologize:

In a statement to HuffPost, Franken said, “It’s difficult to respond to anonymous accusers, and I don’t remember those campaign events.”

Not exactly "Believe the women" material. In any case, they described the venues, and it is not as if he ever knew their names.

Whether or not that was consensual sexting, the threat of arrest approaches abuse of power.

But Iggy...if you delete the thoughts of reporters from the news, we would have nuthin to read!

"Report: Barton said he'd go to Capitol Police over photo"

My guess is one would be better off not taking the picture in the first place.

I thought the sentence that began "While the decision was disappointing..." was the most interesting

I did a double-take on that one, too.

[pagar, a bacon, ham and sausage supporter]

I see Miss Marple beat me again.

"One more note from the story. Earlier in the day, Barton's spokeswoman told The Dallas Morning News that the congressman has no plans to step down."

I wonder if we could get a poll of how many voters think it is important to know what their lawmaker looks like totally.

[mockmook]

Is there something illegal about notifying the police?

The woman doesn't have clean hands -- errr, so to speak...

Revenge porn is actually a crime.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I know you'll disagree, mockmook, but I"ll say her odds of being clean behind doors 2 and 3 are 2/3 in each door.

I denounce myself for making a back door Monty Hall reference on Thanksgiving!

[Jim Eagle]

I urge everyone who has some doubts about the Dem/Prog agenda and the size of their Resistance, to go to MM's 9:39 and in the Legal Insurrection link, click on the "agenda" and just read the rules for the conference goers.

Secretative? More like a freaking Communist Cell at work.

[narcisoyea]

Happy thanksgiving all, in the spirit of ephesians 5:20

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

I can hear the Macy's Parade on in the other room. It seemed to me like I was hearing a lot of show tunes, and someone on Twitter just started complaining that it wasn't really parade coverage, but simply Broadway show performances strung together with lots of chatter between the anchors in between.

Now someone just tweeted they thought some bystander live streaming it would have better coverage.

[mockmook]

What the woman was threatening was unethical/immoral (if not illegal).

I have no problem with Barton threatening back.

[Old Lurker]

Jack "...who has some doubts about the Dem/Prog agenda..."

Reminds me of the wisdom about poker "if you cannot tell in two minutes who the mark is, you are it."

But seriously, I think many of us here have reached a higher degree of clarity in which we have no doubts whatsoever what the agenda is for all of those riding in the wagons. I am so far past "well, that's just their opinion..." that I can't believe I used to be so charitable toward them. They are my enemy.

[exdemocrat]

LOL

happy thanksgiving, comrades ;-)

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Old Lurker,

You can tell they aren't confident of their "ideas" because they are always secretive, plotting and trying to deceive.

What I do not understand is what improvements they think will occur if everyone is subjugated to their power and policies.

We have numerous examples throughout history going all the way back to the Slave revolt during the Roman Empire. People want freedom. Those who are deceived into thinking there is a free lunch eventually discover there isn't and that they sold their birthright for a mass of pottage, and are not pleased with the results.

It would be interesting to find out what people like Tom Steyer actually want to accomplish.

[exdemocrat]

OL - what irritates me is those among us who can't bear to acknowledge these seditionists and crypto-totalitarians are the enemy because they feel it makes us 'just as bad as them.'
we saw the japanese as the enemy until we'd won the war and after it was won had no problem going back to seeing them as not the enemy again.

[JimNorCal]

For years it's been a cliche to hear "Repubs think Dems are mistaken; Dems think Repubs are evil".

That may be changing?
OL: "I am so far past "well, that's just their opinion..." that I can't believe I used to be so charitable toward them. They are my enemy."

[Rocco]

Good Morning all, headed over to the in-laws in a bit so I just wanted to wish all a great holiday.

Just a little story about my fil, it kind of relates to current events as it involves broken ribs and hunting. He's 82 now and three years ago he was on his annual hunting trip with an old friend from PA. They hunt with those 4-wheel atv's and after shooting a large doe, he tied it to the back of his and flipped it over climbing up a steep hill. Well he broke 5 ribs when it landed on him, spent four days in the hospital and drove home without telling anyone that he had been injured. Toughest guy I know!

Have a great day everyone and MissM, this may turnout to be the best Thanksgiving ever! I screwed up on Fathers Day.

[lyle]

I'm just thankful that Hilligula is NOT President of the United States. Really, REALLY thankful. After that, there's still plenty of things in which to give thanks.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

On this day I'm thankful I don't live in China;

China's Communist Party Forces Christians to Replace Jesus With Xi Jinping Posters.
Reading the local cadre's Marxist yammer lets us know just how near the ghosts of Mao and the Gang of Four ride behind the present enlightened Chinese "leaders".

[lyle]

Can I get an AMEN, people? 👊

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm planning on one, myself.

[Old Lurker]

amen, Lyle.

[Momto2]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my dear JOM friends. We're in west Tennessee with frost on the punkin' this morning. We have 30+ family gathering from all over. So much to be thankful for this year...especially the gift of another year of life!

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

As I feared, that Daily Mail story on "American mercenaries torturing Arab corruption prisoners" is starting to get traction. First Zerohedge picked it up, and now I have seen two retweets with approving commentary on my Twitter feed.

That story is not really verified and in fact only has one supposed source in Saudi Arabia. I am dubious about the entire thing.

I will bet by Monday the dems will be demanding a human rights investigation.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

The "improvement" they're looking for, MM, is we will no longer have the option of saying no to them.
Their aim is the end of self governance though they will be happy to pay it lip service.
Trust them; it will be different this time.

[Jim Eagle]

BTW, want to make a prog's head explode?

Remind them that the first hotel the Macy's Turkeyday Parade passes is Trump International at No. 1 Central Park West where it turns to go down CPW. Prime viewing.

[JimNorCal]

From exdem's Drudge link comments

[Old Lurker]

MM, an hour ago I thought of linking that DM story (about torturing in SA) under my statement "ask me if I care" but I feared that would not be consistent with good Thanksgiving etiquette.

Cardozo School of Law Advertises Event on Anti-Semitism Featuring Speakers Condemned as Anti-Semites

Guess who?

Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum, the faculty director of the Benjamin B. Ferencz Human Rights and Atrocity Prevention Clinic at Yeshiva University's Cardozo School of Law in Manhattan, sent students in the clinic's listserv a message publicizing a program hosted by the New School featuring Women's March co-founder and passionate anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour.

[JimNorCal]

Wait. What! From InstaPundit

"SO A WOMAN SENT TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT A PACKAGE BOMB, and he opened the package himself, but it failed to detonate because he opened it the wrong way. You’d think a governor being nearly blown up would be bigger news."

The mahabeth does need tips from Americans in how to coerce, also considering some of the things alamoudi and kamel are suspected of, as I put in my stand alone post last week, what's the Arab word for karma?

Wikileaks Massive Exposure: Here Are 6 Republicans Who Took Bribes From Clinton To ‘Destroy Trump’
November 19, 2017 admin 0 Comments

Hillary Clinton is still whining about her humiliating loss to President Donald Trump in last year’s election. She plans to take him down and her plan involves some powerful Republicans.

Wikileaks named Paul Ryan, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain as Republicans who were paid off by Clinton to ensure that Donald Trump lost the election, or undermine him if he won as reported by Conservative Daily Post. Her evil plot was revealed in an email sent last July from Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta to top aide Huma Abedin.

Podesta detailed how the funds were being redirected from Clinton’s campaign to the Super PACs of Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, and Jeb Bush.

“JB, CF, and JK PACS will be noticeably silent for the rest of the campaign.” The email continued, “Each will receive a significant allowance from advertising budget. HRC is in the loop and has talked to all three personally. Eyes only.”

As revealed in other emails, several members of the Republican Party were bought off in order to push the Clinton agenda forward.

Only one day before Speaker of the House Paul Ryan retracted Donald Trump’s invitation to speak at an event in Wisconsin, an email was sent out that could be to blame. It read, “He is on board, will retract the invitation to speak. Eyes only.”

Other Clinton emails imply that money is being moved to Republican elected officials in the House and Senate. For example, right after John McCain attacked President Trump by publicly criticizing him, FEC records show that two large donations from PACS and private sources went to the senator immediately after.

‘SHARE’ this story to expose establishment Republicans.

Jane, that sounds too convenient to be true.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Jane,

I hadn't seen that, but it would not surprise me. Of course they will deny it, but Paul Ryan and the rest should be up front denying that, and so far I have seen nothing.

Which lack of denial is similar to the sex scandal people who release those carefully constructed non-denials promising to learn and grow and such.

What I do not understand is what improvements they think will occur if everyone is subjugated to their power and policies.

The “improvement” will be that THEY’RE in charge and get to lord it over the rest of us who will live as serfs and subsist on whatever scraps they deign to throw to us.

It’s really that simple.

[mad jack]

and katshit. missed him the first time through.

[James D.]

Henry @ 10:59

Would any of their behavior during the campaign or afterwards really have been any worse if they actually were being paid by Rodham?

[Old Lurker]

Well. Even if it were not true, what would they have done differently? Only difference is whether they were paid to do it.

[sbw]

Catching up from so long ago:

Left eye dominant, darn it. Compensate for Skeet/Trap by wearing shooting glasses with the left eye partially obscured with a plastic patch of lines which lets you see, but is enough to make the right eye dominant for sighting down the barrel.

Oh, and was a left stick hockey player back in the day.

Miss Marple, when you clean out your car in the pound, don’t forget to take the license plate -- you’ll have to return it or use it on your next car.
