Years before her divorce, U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst was assaulted by her husband after she confronted him about his alleged affair with their daughter's babysitter, she wrote in court filings.

Ernst, a Republican who represents Iowa, said that during her 26-year marriage with Gail Ernst, she was the victim of verbal and mental abuse and a physical assault after which a victim's advocate wanted to take her to a hospital, she wrote in public records connected to their divorce.

"Gail has been very cruel," she wrote. "This has been an extremely painful journey."

Ernst in August announced through a brief statement that she and Gail Ernst were divorcing. The divorce was finalized this month.

1. Although I have sympathy for her, it seems she only

sees abuse in other matters as non-existence.

2. The husband knew she was a nut cutter when he married her

3. Wait, wut?

She was interviewed by then-candidate Donald Trump to run for vice president, but she turned him down,

How sad is it that Ernst would be an improvement as a VP. Actually nearly any warm blooded mammal (and some cold blooded reptiles) would be an improvement over Pence.

Gail Ernst accused Joni of having an affair with one of her soldiers while she was deployed as a company commander. He caught her secretly emailing him, he wrote.

"She admitted to the affair, said she was sorry and begged me not to say anything," Gail Ernst wrote. But their daughter was 4 at the time, he wrote, so he "swallowed (his) pride and kept quiet."

Once again. IOKIYAR

Joni Ernst estimated their net worth was about $930,000, while he calculated it was closer to $1,039,700

7. Wonder if her getting paid while 800,000 don't came up at her town hall.

Ernst gets earful at heated Red Oak town hall

Many of the questions dealt with what one attendee called "the elephant in the room"--the continuing partial federal government shutdown--and President Trump's continuing call for funding for a border wall across the southern border. Ernst reiterated previous comments that the wall would not span the entire border--she says technology could be used to cover areas where land doesn't allow for a barrier. The senator also says a border wall isn't a new idea.

...

Another resident questioned how anyone in the Senate could defend the shutdown, saying she was "deeply ashamed" of how federal employees were being treated....

4. I have as much sympathy for that phony

piece of crap as she has for every victim of the drunk rapist she voted onto the Supreme Court.

8. +1

13. + a million or so! eom

14. or the lying misogynist she supports at every turn.

6. Her own abuse doesn't give her the right to abuse others.

This is the same bullshit that Israel's government does - they abuse the Palestinians in the same ways that the Jewish were abused during WWII.

9. SHE had an affair?

[progressoid]

10. Yeah. Gotta wonder how that would have played with the voters.

Kill the government crusade continues.
