40. The Republicans idea of family values is that women are expendable along with kids.
Fri Aug 24, 2018, 03:01 PM

This is the bedrock of the Republican family taught in many of the churches the appeal to for votes. Women are to be dominated by the husband and must obey without question. Is it any wonder that they bring the same warped concepts into politics in which they don't think women are capable of rational thought. Women have a difficult road to walk in Republican households or businesses. Hilary was up against this bias. When compared to Trump, he is little more than a moron that is without one beneficial aptitude for the job. Hilary in comparison was vastly more qualified, but you have to consider the massive number of nincompoops and ignoramuses that can vote.

She must really be a doormat if she's willing to let her husband possibly send her to prison while he continues to ruin America in Congress.

"Come on honey, take one for the team"

Wonder how he's going to explain hundreds of thousands of dollars of personal purchases on a credit card that's set up for his campaign.

Real hero you. Holding your wife's head under water. i saw LOTS of shared expenses and only one that could for real be broke out to her. the make-up. YOU went on those vacations. YOU said FUCK YOU to the American Military Base who wouldn't see you in Italy to cover your cheating on the money. You disgraced your uniform soldier. Don't try to take it out and dust it off. Lots of men and women didn't come home thanks to your stupid dad and bush. And when they did, it was at night, in the dark, at a lonely air base w no heroes welcome home. Pretty sure you weren't leading any charges anytime you were in your tour over there. Now you want to hold your uniform up to shield you from the eggs. Screw you.Take your medicine Dunk.

How pathetic. Where is the republican party getting all of these dickwads from?

They must have 'who's the worst dickwad contests' so they can pick their next candidate for office.

These guys must be thrown out of office, for I guarantee you, that if we don't, and something truly horrible happens (economy-wise, etc.), they will blame everything and/or everyone else and fail to truly pinpoint what happened.

I have to assume that she will not be happy about what he said/did, and I also have to imagine that she will retaliate and tell all about the guy's shenanigans and guilt in the fraud case, so if that is the case then he just thew himself under the bus as well.

In a way, it is the Republican way of embracing feminism to claim women are responsible for stealing and fraud.

has happened to our country that we keep having people like this being elected to run our government?

Seriously!?!?!

Have we gone so low so fast that we find ourselves totally surrounded and represented by so many flaming idiots?

This is just unbelievable and I pray that we will see him VOTED OUT come November.

If he isn't then I just hope that there is still one last, final chance to save us all.
