Of course they are. They are Republicans. Therefore they believe that all women should be abused as often as possible.

That is actually what they believe, no consequences for the rich

It's not only a Republican issue. I think one thing Americans do too much right now is blame and we don't need division. In this Republican party ( and there's some that still seem to stay true to at least caring( a few). I can only imagine the pressure they are under. I think of the SA DV predators from Matt Gaetz to Hegseth and many more. I do not see the Republican party or the normal churches ( who know the Trump admin is not God) call their huge lies out, put us and our kids in an atmosphere that abuse and without accountability. Far maga says bad disgusting things about women, other people dehumanizing women and children with no accountability for what is the Epstein files shows that being a sexist abusive cheating sadist with no empathy. Franklin Graham acts Zionist, puts on hateful events and has counseled women to stay in pretty abusive marriages and has been accused a few times of taking money. Then, Paula White saying we must say yes to Trump or that's a no to God while she says God wants $25,000 for me right now. Peter Thiel and Karp etc... It is not normal to abuse or be a cruel bully or hurt young ladies, someone's daughters. It's not normal to abuse or use yourself or others. It's not normal to put $$$$$$ in front of human life 🧬. It's not normal for DOJ Blanche- a personal attorney to even be an acting DOJ and why haven't they picked someone? Also it's not normal for any leader to be blatantly disregarding life, Americans livelihood for a few. It's not normal for ICE NICE untrained officers. It's not normal to be buying all the companies or news media. I have hope though. We need too. We are Americans.

Exactly, not just a republican issue, it is more fundmantal than policies, but the Republican part seems to have been corrupted by Trump so that it no longer has any honor, integrity. Those that still do are being driven out of the party, because at this stage of the corruption, anybody with integrity becomes an enemy.

People who are corrupt, and in power, tend to corrupt those around them. This was clear if you watched closely in his first term. Many were corrupted, most either found the line they would not cross, because Trump starts slow, then increases his demands, or they eventually failed Trump and discarded, or became of more value as a sacrifice, to keep the public from asking for HIS blood. Why he had so few around him at the end in 2021.

And when criminals see a place of safety, they gravitate to it.

Yes, we see a lot of that in his second term.

I am left to wonder what role Bernie Moreno is playing in all this. I hate what my gut is telling me.

I live in Ohio, and knowing Bernie’s history, he would throw his daughter to the gutter to protect his orange Jesus. He’s despicable!

Mactad's avatar

That is precisely my fear. I think of his poor daughter alone, with no support, fighting against these misogynists who protect predatory friends, family and associates. I feel for her. 😔

I’m going to be not so nice about this. Yes, she’s a victim of abuse. At the same time, she is her father‘s daughter. The information about this guy was available before she married him. This kind of abusive personality shows up very quickly, and yet, she married him.

To me, this is exactly like the people that try to defend melanoma. Oh, she’s not so bad. She married him.

It's important to remember that the core MAGA types are basically the same people who voted for Wallace in 1968. Racist, misogynistic, and very, very backward. Their religion also teaches them that women caused life on Earth to be awful (by eating the apple against God's wishes) and therefore women deserve to suffer. The true believers don't even want women to be teachers.

Women will ALWAYS be 2nd-class citizens in Evangelist world.

How in hell do you expect that crowd to get worked up about wife abuse when they’re happy with their President who’s a pedophile participant?

Check out Moreno’s background! He had a dealership that he refused to pay overtime to his employees and shredded the documents but the employees were smart and the documents to prove their lawsuit!

Moreno had to pay them and the legal fees!

Moreno and Miller were too busy to hold town hall meetings. Many people received form letters and never reached a person to assist them.

This story was published in various news media in Ohio!

They celebrate their violations of moral boundaries. Absolutely nothing was out of bounds for the ones in the Epstein files. A celebration of soullessness.

Patriarchy is at the root of this problem. While women abusing men is less common if you reverse the roles, and it was the Senator's son being abused by his female partner who was a Representative even with little Mikey Johnson hanging onto his speakership by a thread, she would be denounced and drummed out as quickly as Eric Swawell was, and it wouldn't wait for months for there to be a Democrat resigning or expelled.

Terrific coverage, Mike. Great question about where MSM is, and I include MSNOW, even their two heavy hitters.

A good example of why the future of actual news is independent journalism, not legacy news programs synthesized by the likes of Bari Weiss and who knows who at NBC.

They are all evil misogynists. They want women to be compliant, subservient, dependent and out of the workforce.

I want to point out a few things that make this worse than many realize. 0-5 are the most crucial ages in childhood.

The second part is the kkkkkongressman is simply a kkkkog in the larger wheel of toxic masculinity. They are taught it's not okay to cry or to talk about emotions and feelings at a young age. They are taught not to go to therapy. So the cycle continues.

A reminder: please don't be afraid to call 311 or 911 in a bad relationship. The shelters can help. Talk to people. Get out before someone kills you. Talk to your friends. Talk to a neighbor. Talk to a former neighbor. Even decades later, a former neighbor knows he can contact me any time about the trauma. The mom kept getting back with her abusive husband. I'd rather be called at 2 am than show up at a funeral.

These old white republican old men hate women and believe that they are there to be used and abused at their pleasure. Disgusting old bastards

Wayne's avatar

As long as the rich white repukes remain in power this and other atrocities will continue. We must put an end to this once and for all with our voting all them out of office in November. Please help at least one person get to the polls.

Of course they are. Rethuglicans circle the wagons around their own.

Feature not bug to them. Women have no value to them beyond being objects.

Don’t have white mens babies. That’s a start.
