Fearing Trump candidates would win office and for the RINOs in the Senate to act Republican, the RINOs sat on their hands last year and did nothing. It marked the first time RINOs refused to help those who pose a threat. Democrats do it all the time to them but they choose to accept their fate as a runner-up part. In fact, Democrats did it to them in 2022, didn’t they? The RINO motto is It’s Better To Serve In Hell Than Have To Make A Decision.
To accommodate and rationalize their sloth, RINOs complained about the quality of Trump candidates.
Let’s see, there was Dr. Oz, a successful heart surgeon (a reader who is a world class cardiologist vouched for him), a successful businessman and a successful TV talk show host.
New York magazine said, “Dr. Oz came out of a bitter May primary he very narrowly won and immediately fell into a period of inactivity that his opponent, Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, exploited with a mocking social-media campaign pointing out the Republican’s longtime New Jersey residence. Oz then committed some laughable missteps, most famously a video in which he tried to show his middle-class chops by documenting the rising price of crudités.
“But Oz has now finally gotten traction via two gambits. He’s raised questions about Fetterman’s fitness for office in light of the Democrat’s preprimary stroke (which he dramatized by constantly challenging Fetterman to debates; they have finally agreed on a single October debate). And he’s pounded his opponent as soft on crime, particularly in his role as chairman of the State Board of Pardons. The Republican and his super-PAC allies have also begun to outspend the Democrat on ads.”
Pretended to be soft on crime? Fetterman got 10 first-degree murderers released from prison. Two became paid campaign staffers.
Oz was a success. Fetterman is a mooch.
Salena Zito reported, “Fetterman’s father, Karl, is a successful businessman and founder/owner of Kling Insurance in Pennsylvania. Not only did Fetterman grow up in the wealthy suburb of York, Pa., his parents financially supported him and his family for the entire 13 years he was mayor of Braddock — a part-time job that paid him just $150 a year — until he was sworn in as lieutenant governor in 2019 at the age of 49. In 2015 alone, his parents paid him a $54,000 salary.
“He lives with his wife, Gisele, and their three children, in a spacious Braddock loft that his sister purchased for $70,000 and then handed over to Fetterman for just $1.”
As for Oz raising questions about that stroke, I shall defer to the cardiologist.
Then there is Fetterman’s message to America: “The House, the whatever they call themselves Team America or whatever they call themselves, bring your vote otherwise they need to go hump a different leg.”
English isn’t his second language because he has no language. He has filled the void in the Senate left when Kamala became vice president.
He really is good at making no sense: “My message to the, the CEOs, CEOs is, you know, it’s $74 million, you know, collectively earning that, you know, how many yachts can they need, you know, to, to yacht, to water, uh, ski behind it, you know, I mean, it’s, it’s crazy.”
The man is a zombie. Someone give him a brain already.
Wait. Hold it. He would eat the brain, wouldn’t he?
Above all, there is Fetterman’s attire. He wears gym clothes on occasions when a gentleman is required to wear a suit and a tie. I don’t like him. I’m hobophobic.
Law professor Glenn Reynolds observed society is changing, “Whenever I wear a suit and tie I get a lot of compliments, but I still don’t wear them much. This seems to be the general pattern for men. When I used to lurk on Yik Yak, the campus social media site, women were always going gaga over how attractive the fraternity pledges looked when they dressed in suits, as they were required to on Mondays. (The rest of the week they dress like John Fetterman.)
“Men on Yik Yak, generally speaking, wanted women to wear as little as possible. Women wanted men to wear suits. So why don’t they? (We?)
“You might say it’s about comfort, but a properly fitting modern suit is really pretty comfortable. It’s true that they require more care, and will run up your laundry and dry-cleaning bills in a way that jeans and t-shirts won’t, but still. And there are some modern synthetic suits that don’t look like tacky 1970s polyester and don’t require special care at all.”
A changing society is no excuse. And the Senate is different than a college campus. And wearing a sports jacket without a tie is a far cry from gym clothes and a hoodie. Fetterman’s unwillingness to adhere to societal norms and the Senate dress code does not show disrespect for the nation; rather it shows a disdain for the country.
Now the Senate has thrown the rules out for Fetterman. They ignore Benjamin Franklin, who said, “Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.” But they ignore most of his advice, which is ironic because their public service is all about the Benjamins.
RINOs are OK with the rule change. 70-year-old Susan Collins joked, “I plan to wear a bikini tomorrow to the Senate floor.”
They laugh as they destroy another American institution.
But at least Collins did not go on Chaturbate to strut her stuff for money. Apparently you have to be a Democrat to do that. The Washington Post reported, “Chaturbate, a platform that says it takes its name from the act of masturbating while chatting online.”
Or as it is known in some circles, Toobin.
The reason the Jeff Bezos Post chattered about Chaturbate is Democrat Susanna Gibson collected money from 5,700 followers who watched her have sex with herself and with her husband. She is her party’s choice for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in this year’s election. She calls the money she made tips.
The fact that we have a Chaturbate shows how far this nation has fallen into depravation because it debases both participants. I recall that 60 years ago, feminists decried the objectification of women. Now the left encourages it, as does the news media.
The Daily Wire reported, “Correspondence viewed by The Daily Wire shows the Associated Press was tipped off about the pornographic content on September 5, but chose not to do anything with the story. It did, however, make Gibson aware of the videos, which she appears to have had taken down in the days after the Associated Press alerted her that they had been discovered.
“The outlet did not cover the videos until September 12, after it had already been reported by others.”
So, it is not just Hamas that AP shields.
And after the Bezos Post exposed her porn prostitution, AP continues to shield her in an act of chivalry that would embarrass Sir Lancelot.
AP reported, “More Virginia Democrats on Tuesday cast the controversy surrounding a legislative candidate who livestreamed herself performing sex acts as a distraction from the stakes in this fall's elections, while stopping short of fully championing her continued campaign.
“Neither the state party nor the House Democratic caucus has publicly called for Susanna Gibson to end her campaign after it was revealed last week that she had sex with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific sex acts.”
Gary Hart demands his presidential campaign back. Where does Donna Rice go to get her reputation back?
If she wins maybe the House of Delegates can eliminate its dress code, too. Might as well give the lobbyists something extra for their tips to legislators.
Eric Teetsel pointed out, the Senate is no longer an august body.
He wrote, “But this is not all about Fetterman. The rules were relaxed after the 2018 election of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona Democrat-turned-independent, who has made headlines due to her fashion choices featuring bold colors and patterns, denim, exposed shoulders, wigs, and words, like the time she presided over the Senate wearing a pink sweater that read ‘Dangerous Creature.’
“That day, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said to her, ‘You’re breaking the internet’—to which Sinema replied, ‘Good!’
“It was hardly the first time sartorial debates had sparked internet outrage. In 2017, then-House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was criticized for enforcing a so-called Handmaid’s Tale dress code against exposed shoulders and open-toed shoes.
“In 2012, then-Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., made news after wearing a hoodie in honor of Trayvon Martin, a slain Florida teen.
“In 2009, then-first lady Michelle Obama caused a stir by wearing a sleeveless dress in the House chamber for then-President Barack Obama’s first address to a joint session of Congress.”
Martin beat the hell out of a man, using the sidewalk to turn the back of the man’s head blood red. The man shot and killed Martin in self-defense. Bobby Rush never protested the daily murders of black men and teens in Chicago because black-on-black crime matters to no one.
Nor apparently does dressing properly. The situation reminds me of the title of a Jerry Lewis film, Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River. And so we drop our standards to suit the unsuitable zombie Pennsylvania sent to the Senate. Mr. Smith has been replaced as Lurch Goes To Washington.
Donald Trump is always in a suit, usually with a tie, unless he is on the golf course, but the press condemned him as uncouth for saying pussy in a private conversation a decade before he ran for president.
The press now blows off Chaturbate Gate. The Richmond Times Dispatch reported, “A week after news surfaced of Susanna Gibson’s online sex videos with her husband, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears accused the Henrico Democrat of trying to ‘sully’ the House of Delegates.”
The videos didn’t surface online. Gibson live-streamed her sex acts for money. Andrew Cain, who wrote the Richmond paper’s story, cannot say he did not know because it was in the Washington Post story.
Of course a porn star sullies the state government. The paper’s scary quotes are asinine.
In condemning the porn star politician, Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears told supporters, “Let's just say we need leaders who understand that our children are watching.
“Did I say watching? I said watching.
“And we need leaders who understand how to comport themselves, because, folks, we're talking about membership in the oldest continually serving legislative body in the entire new world, the House of Delegates. And how dare you try to sully the House of Delegates?”
I would publicly chastise Republican Lauren Boebert for her PDA and vaping at a performance of the musical Beetlejuice, but I hate long lines.
No Senate dress code is no big deal? Schools dropped dress codes a generation or two ago. Now we have purple-haired LGBT groomers luring kids to the dark side.
Fetterman’s stroke, ignorance, sloth and gym clothes show a contempt for the nation. He’s a wino without the wine. Democrats nevertheless stuffed the ballot to elect him. They should replace Schumer with him because Fetterman exemplifies today’s U.S. Senate.
Now you know why Washington shunned those articulate Trump candidates in their suits and ties. They are not pliable. Bums like Fetterman are. Porn stars too.
Sorry Don, but the fact is our Founders gave us the gift of choice when it comes to representation. So we get what we deserve.
Fetterman is disgusting but then it is not because of the clothes he wears, although they are representative of the thoughts he thinks, it is because he was elected by a very suspicious means in a very suspect election.
Personally I think it would be better, in light of what comes out of this "great deliberative body" these days, to make the required dress code clown suits rather than a decent man's or ladies suit. On the other hand I suppose that outfit that Fetterman ususally appears in could qualify, just add a nice red nose and an accordian ruffle around his neck.
The fact that the rest of the great deliberative body would stand silently by and let this happen says a lot about the rest of the clowns doesn't it?
The decadence, depravity, hedonism continues unabated! The march to the sewer is in the red zone. Our God has removed His protection of America. And why not? The Marxists hate Him. Narcissism is the idol of many in power and, sadly, of the masses who go along.
Narcissism, idolatry, power, self love (I repeat myself) etc., have consumed the left and a good slice of the Republicans.
Can we stop them before they reach the end zone?Doubtful without the intervention of our Lord God.
Very sad for those of us who love America. DO NOT COMPLY with what’s ahead! Let’s trust God, who is in control, and do the next right thing!
