Do DE people qualify for “one slap, and you’re out” or “one slap, and you are safe”?

Every wife should be slapped once in a while whether she deserves it or not..............It reminds them of who is boss.

Let’s see.

Allegations of a republican dating a teenager 40 years ago? 24/7 news coverage of why he must go.

Documented proof of a democrat beating a woman 20 years ago?
No a peep from the fake legacy media.

One guy is a wife beater and the other guy is an avowed Marxist.

And they STILL make fun of Christine O’Donnell!

Quick, what movie is this from: “Now don’t be hitting him until your married, then he’s entitled to hit you back”......
Same movie: “Here’s a good stick to beat the lovely lady....”

He’s 70 y/o and up for reelection in 2018. We need to hang this around the wife beater’s neck if he runs again.

Maybe he watched to many golden age movies on Turner Classics. It's a proven fact that the only way to cure a hysterical women was a good slap. At least one was required in every movie....
