Senator Corker takes on The Donald…with some help from McConnell.
I can’t stand Mumbles McConnell. Nothing, absolutely nothing, about that man appeals, from being a man to being a politician to being a decent human being.
I think he’s none of those things.
Yes he’s the Senate Majority leader but these types of GOP politicos usually end up being Democrats Lite.
And where’s the truth between this Corker guy and President Trump? Trump claims by tweet that Corker begged him to an endorsement and perhaps an appointment to Secretary of State.
Corker tweeted out a denial on all of it.
Somebody’s lying here.
And Mumbles McConnell steps in, after Corker went whining to him, no doubt, and tells the world what a wonderful man Corker is.
We hear Marsha Blackburn is running against Corker. Let’s get that guy outta there.
McConnell’s words below:
>>>
“Sen. Corker is a valuable member of the Senate Republican caucus and he’s also on the Budget committee and a particularly important player as we move to the floor on the budget next week and he’s an important part of our team,” McConnell said Monday in Kentucky, according to the Associated Press>>>>

Harvey Weinstein….those women asked for it.
First, let us establish that this Harvey Weinstein is one ugly guy.
Now I understand that ugly is not everything but looks do tend to be the first thing we notice about people upon first meeting. Especially meetings between opposite sexes.
So going out on a limb here I’m thinking few women saw Weinstein and fell in a smitten faint at his feet.
Somebody ought to, kindly, take this very unattractive man in a room somewhere and explain about ugliness and how he is so ugly women want to run from him, not dive into his pants.
I’ve been listening to the stories of women he outright raped, women whose mouth he filled with his very handsome penis, whose clothes he removed or ripped them off.
I’m betting not a single female was lusting for this beast.
But one story I read, a narrative that I strongly suspect has lots of repeats, is by a woman who Weinstein attacked. She tells a sad story about how she begged him to let her be but Weinstein, his handsome, handsome self, had his way with her.
What’s odd, this woman did admit to later “dating” Weinstein and some on….what nut job dates the man who raped her?
There’s something really wrong with these important politicos and Hollywood types.
They rape children and get applause at the Oscars, they have their way with woman no matter how ugly they are, they are people with absolutely no morals or social standards.
To add to the shock, Donna Karran comes up with the old mantra that it is the WOMAN’S fault if handsome men like Harvey Weinstein have their way with her, that the woman was dressed a bit too provocatively.
That’s an old saw from back in my youth when the defense attorney used to come with such a silly excuse.
Yes, it’s a bit dumb to wear low tops out in public, skirts that barely cover the rear.
But that does not give a man, even a very, very handsome man like Harvey Weinstein, the right to rape her.
Liberals….such hypocrites.
The NFL debate continues on and perverts come out of the woodwork.
Let us begin with Sean Hannity’s interview of President Trump.
It was a good review of events ongoing and a hope and prayer that tax reform gets passed.
That being said, please with these NFL jerks. I have not watched or listened to a football game since they began this kneeling during the national anthem.
Now we have perverts coming out of the woodwork over in Hollywood and who, really, is surprised?
The funniest is the Jimmy Kimmel story.
Seems Kimmel, the nitwit with no talent who thinks he can lecture us about guns….well he too has a cute video showing woman looking for something in his pants.
It’s a comedy routine where women grope within the guy’s pants looking for, then guessing what is, the object in Kimmel’s pants.
It’s kind of R-rated, to say the least.
And this guy lectures US?
Get rid of the perverts and traitors, what you all say?

Seriously, girls in Boy Scouts?
What will happen to the organization made for females….GIRL SCOUTS????
Would you let your daughter join the….boy scouts?
Did you know that our current Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, gave his approval for gay boy scout leaders?
This whole thing smells of a sex orgy.

Week Wrapped Up
Lots of talk about the new tax plan. Some talk about reviving the Obamacare repeal. President Trump reveals he will not re-certify that awful Iran deal.
But first, let us discuss groping men.
Indeed I have been groped in my lifetime, three times, unwelcome and embarrassing.
One of the gropers was my very own father-in-law, indeed, my husband’s father who put his entire arm up my skirt one night as he dropped me off to the house in which me and his son lived.
I quickly pushed his arm back out from under my shirt and jumped out of the car.
Another grope was a drunk Uncle, put his hand up my blouse after he drank a bit too much.
Finally the VP of my salaried employees union lifted up my blouse one night as he and I worked to put out the monthly newsletter.
I screamed at him, asking him what the hell he was doing?
I’m thinking there’s a bunch of women out there been groped inappropriately. For there is something about men in power that has them of a mind that women’s bodies in his surround belong to him.
I look at that Weinstein guy and folks, there are none, NONE uglier than him. What the hell is he thinking? Does he really think that beautiful women see his fat belly, his ugly mug, his hairy arms….and immediately want to put his private parts into their mouths?
Harvey Weinstein had a blessed life. He got to hobnob with the hoi-poli, he had money, he had a stellar career, lovely children and a beautiful wife.
And yet when he dies that awful man will always be remembered as a bug in society, a nothing-burger.
He threw away a perfectly good life because he thought he had rights he did not have.
Very few can stand Harvey Weinstein now. Let us boo and mock the asshole.

Here is another on not really making much news yet shows just how explosive the mid-east can become and how difficult it is for the US to pick sides.
Seems the Peshmerga in NW Iraq are tying to lay claim to their own area and some that they took over. Also seems there is oil there as well.
So what is happening is that the Turks have united with the Iraqis who are now controlled by the ultimate terror types the Iranians and all have decided to take out the peshmerga once and for all.
So whose side are we on in this one? Just one more reason to stay out of the mideast. Problem is if we leave them alone they go crazy and try and take over the world.So what do you do?
I like it! But, Mumbles McTurtle rolls off the tongue better! Say it:
Mumbles McTurtle, Mumbles McTurtle...
Worthless POS, is what he is!
Nice summary Pat.
Good rants...agree with all.
