Misc. Updates-Civil suits, Independent prosecutors and Citizen of the Year.
Gentlemen’s Quarterly magazine named Colin Kapernik its Citizen of the Year.
A nothing burger putting on a show, living the life of wealth, ugly and disliked immensely by most normal people.
And he is GQ’s Citizen of the Year?
Wonder how much money GQ got for this bit of stupidity.
So we hear that Roy Moore is filing a suit against the Washington Post. Also, yet another woman coming out of the woodwork to accuse the Judge of molesting her.
This is all 40 years ago. Moore has been faithfully married for all those years. I suppose he might have, horrors, once been a young man in pursuit of younger women.
Perish the thought.
And for sure if any of them were minors at the time it’s a questionable action.
I just don’t think so.
I think Roy Moore, at age 32 and recently returned home from the military, liked the ladies and was probably a bad judge of their age.
But they don’t want him in the senate and us peasants who voted the guy in need to shut up and let these guys do their job.

Sessions and Congress
AG Jeff Sessions testified before congress yesterday. It was an all day affair and was grueling.
And not much of nothing was said.
Sessions shows no interest in investigating Hillary or the DNC for selling our uranium to the Russians.
Why?
Also, Mark Levin reveals (and he’s the only one so far of the talk show guys) that the Senate has a new rule that all members must pass some sort of sexual harassment class.
Here, for free, I shall compile the rules of thumb….hey guys….women do not like to be manhandled like a sex toy just because you got a bit of power.
You have NO right to reach inside clothes and fondle body parts that are supposed to remain modest and hidden.
No woman looked at Bill Clinton, yeah Bill Clinton, who regularly raped women because….well I guess he thought they wanted it.
And yet so many of them came out complaining.
HEY ASSHOLES!
Women do not look at you and say…”Wow, please let him grope me. Please let him put his arm up my thighs. If I am really lucky he’ll guide my hand to his private parts.”
NO!!!!
Adjust your damn testicles and know that the things a female does with a male she loves are part and parcel of the love package.
They do not want your stinky, disgusting hands feeling them up as if a sex doll.
And Harvey Weinstein, man that guy is a real looker. I bet women can’t wait to watch him masturbate.
Bah, humbug.

Impeachment began against Trump, Roy Moore holds press conference, who are the perverts in congress busy groping women?
A couple of Democrats have begun impeachment proceedings against Trump.
Come on with these jokers. What part of the constitution has Trump violated? Maybe that part about filing silly impeachment articles for nothing but political hits?
Democratic Reps. Steve Cohen (Tenn.), Luis Gutiérrez (Ill.), Al Green (Texas), Adriano Espaillat (N.Y.), Marcia Fudge (Ohio) and John Yarmuth (Ky.) said the five articles of impeachment come out of concern for the country’s national security.
“We believe that President Trump has violated the Constitution, and we’ve introduced five articles of impeachment,” Cohen said at a press conference.
Mark Levin, God bless, has been ranting and railing all week for those people accusing unnamed members of congress of groping to be named.
Why tell us they’re out there if they won’t tell us who?
I am to understand that there is a list of congressional perverts circulating, now to over 50 people. I maintain that with that many people in the know, it won’t be long and we’ll have names.
Roy Moore held a press conference yesterday, with his attorney.
Turns out that Gloria Allred’s client had Judge Moore as her divorce judge. SHE said she had not crossed paths with Moore since the time she said he groped her after locking her in the car.
What? She forgot he was the judge who presided over her divorce?
Look for this story along with the identity congress critter who likes to show young women his genitals to bust wide open, soon!

House passes tax bill;Al Franken!!!! Heh.
Did y’all see that pic of Al Franken with hands on the breasts of his accuser? Her name is Leeann Tweeden and along with another accuser charge Senator Al Franken from Minnesota with some very nasty behavior.
With a pic to forever ruin Al Franken’s credence, intelligence, behavior and reputation.
Pic is below. I like it.
Also the House passed the tax bill yesterday and the senate committee put it on the senate floor for a vote.
The stock market likes it.

It’s been a week of sexual accusations.
Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Al Franken, Roy Moore, even Sylvester Stallone….all with women out there with some bad memories.
I must ask one more time, what gets into a man’s head that a woman standing around, attending a meeting, doing some office work, walking alongside….that a woman out living a busy life…wants some asshole putting his hands up her blouse, her skirt, or maybe like Bill Clinton, the woman needs to be raped and she should be grateful.
I look at Harvey Weinstein and ponder what makes him think women are desperate to watch him masturbate in the shower.
A new day is upon folks. Women need to start mocking idiots. Just as soon as some jerk goes over the line, make a scene and tell everybody you know.
Frankly I’m glad attention is being called to this.
Because men….sometimes they act badly. This behavior could even be considered normal except there are the extremes. Men need the gentle hand of the female to guide and lead them. Been that way since Adam and Eve, and it’s that way now.
On a personal note.
With all the stories of sexual harassment going on, I chance to give some thought to my own story of sexual groping by a powerful man.
What’s really odd, he was my father-in-law at the time.
His name was Edward Presnell, married to Romaine Presnell, adopted parents of my then husband and childhood sweetheart….we’ll call him Joe. The names above are real.
Two of my friends complained about Ed Presnell, the Civic Engineer for Anne Arundel county Maryland. Not sure what his job entailed except maybe surveying and traffic lights.
My friend said he gave them the creeps but I pooh-poohed them. I really liked my father-in-law. He was handsome, smart and had a good personality. My in-laws were moderately religious.
My mother-in-law, Romaine Presnell, taught school at Jacobsville Elementary in Pasadena, Md. At mid point in her life, she gave up that career and became a psychotherapist at Phipps Clinic at Johns Hopkins. She was a liberal of the highest order but back in those days, me at age 22, I didn’t know liberals from conservatives from moderates.
She did want to pay for Joe to leave America and go live in Canada to avoid Vietnam. I refused to go. I was against the Vietnam war but I couldn’t leave my country. Joe eventually left me for another woman, at age 22 remind and we’d just bought a house.
Anyway, one night my father-in-law was dropping me off at my house. Joe was at a meeting and I lived right up the street from my in-laws. As he pulled into the driveway I began to gather my stuff but before I could get it all together, Edward Presnell put his hand up my skirt.
Fortunately I was able to yank the car door handle and jump out but, of course, I was shocked and horrified. This guy was dropping me off at the house HIS SON AND I RENTED!! And he thought it was okay to go sticking his hands up my clothes?
I did eventually tell Joe but not for a while. I just was not sure who would believe the mighty poohbah of Anne Arundel county wanted to risk so much on a peasant like me.
So I did a search on the Internet for Edward and Romaine Presnell. For to stop men from taking such outrageous liberties my plan of action…REVEAL THEM! EMBARRASS THEM!
Well I’m a little late but finally got around to it.
And what should I discover but that Romaine Presnell wrote a book! It’s called “Journey Into Widowhood” and it’s a story of, well becoming a widow.
So I guess Ed Presnell is now dead?
Anyway, I ordered the book. This should be interesting. I wonder if I will be in it. I wonder if Romaine ever knew about her husband and his groping hands? For she was a very nice lady and was very good to me.
Book is arriving this coming week.
Should be interesting.
That is my take, too, Pat.
I know others here may disagree, but I can't see that Sessions, Mueller and Rosenstein are secretly working to take down the Clintons, I just don't.
Why is Jeff not pursuing this?? I don't know.
I'll gladly be happy to be wrong, but I think it's just a pipe dream.
