The New York Times has done a rather extensive expose on the goings on in the office of Blake Farenthold and why this guy has not yet been forced out of office is a complete mystery to me.
Here are a few examples:
As allegations of sexual misconduct rock Capitol Hill — three lawmakers announced their resignations last week alone — Mr. Farenthold, Republican of Texas, stands out as the survivor. He was sued over accusations of sexual harassment three years ago, paid out an $84,000 settlement, financed by taxpayers, and has an open Ethics Committee investigation into his behavior. Yet only a few Republicans have called for his resignation.
A peek into the inner workings of his office reveals the kind of hostile work environment, rife with sexual innuendo, that prompted Representative Jackie Speier, Democrat of California, to call Congress “the worst” place for women to work.
He's a bully: Former employees also said that Mr. Farenthold had an explosive temper and often bullied his aides, prompting a high turnover.
.........
Ms. Peace and another former aide to Mr. Farenthold, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of harming that aide’s reputation, described an atmosphere in his Washington office that was freewheeling, yet also filled with anxiety.
The congressman, they said, was volatile. When he was angry, they added, Mr. Farenthold would berate them, sometimes sweeping his arm across his desk, knocking its contents to the floor, and threatening to fire people. Ms. Daniels, who has worked for Mr. Farenthold since March, said she had never witnessed such behavior, adding, “All the staff get along here very well.”
The work atmosphere was sexually charged and Farenthold was a drunk:
The refrigerator in the “bullpen” — the open area where aides worked — was filled with beer, and sometimes happy hour would begin at 4:30 p.m., which his aides called “beer-thirty.” Ms. Peace said women would discuss which male lobbyists had texted them pictures of their genitals, and both men and women would talk about strip clubs and whether certain Fox News anchors had breast implants.
“There were numerous lewd comments that were made either about female reporters’ breast size, or other reporters’ breast size as well as female lobbyists and their appearance that would go on,” the other former aide said. “On any given week you were prone to either ridicule, rude comments, acts of aggression or rage.”
In the office, the congressman was known to like redheads. In her complaint, Ms. Greene said Mr. Farenthold “regularly drank to excess, and because of his tendency to flirt, the staffers who accompanied him to Capitol Hill functions would joke that they had to be on ‘redhead patrol’ to keep him out of trouble.”
There was a "redhead patrol?"
Okay if freaking Al Franken had to give up his job because of the relatively mild by comparison misconduct he was accused of, it would seem that Farenthold should be run out of town on a rail for his various indiscretions.
I thought that Donald Trump was probably the biggest pervert in Washington, but I may have to reevaluate that assumption.
Most copies of that photo, the brunette on the left is removed as she was underage, according to authorities.
ReplyDeleteThe big M on her right hand indicated she is a minor.
DeleteShe certainly looks underage.
DeleteReminds me of a icture of former Anchorage Mayor, Dan Sullivan. No, not that one, the one actually from Alaska.
DeleteDouble standard perverts are welcome in the GOP as long as they are christians.maybe he has stayed under the radar because no one has heard of him.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who wrote the law that allows these creeps to use our money to pay for their perversion? I want a refund.
Just read that Omarosa is leaving the WH,jumping ship before it sinks?
FIRED!
Deletehttps://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/black-twitter-celebrates-as-omarosa-gets-canned-from-white-house-job-congratulations-you-played-yourself/
'Trump just fired Omarosa. Maybe he is mad that #BlackWomen cause the defeat of pedophile #RoyMoore.'
'Media: Black women helped Doug Jones
Omarosa: FUCK *sticks head in a bag of flour, attempts to stroll into West Wing undetected*'
That makes more sense than she resigned.
DeleteI figured she either got tired of bowing down trump or being the parasite that she is,figured out no one is bowing down to donnie and ran before the feds lock him up.
Maybe the Orange one prefers his new old/new girl Hope Hicks over her?

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton names Lt. Gov. Tina Smith to fill Al Franken's Senate seat until November election.
ReplyDeleteI like Tina but I'm still mourning over Al. At least Dayton picked a woman.
DeleteFucking asshole.
DeleteYeah, I called that one.
Tina Smith is NOT going to run for that seat when it is up so it will be a free for all. Meaning very good chance a Republican will take it.
What should Dayton have done?
Well, put Keith Ellison in it. He would have jumped from the House to the Senate and he would have run as an INCUMBENT.
Dayton just threw that seat away.
Fuck him. Fuck Gillibrand.
And for that matter fuck Franken for caving to the mob and running away like a coward.
All Democrats are spineless idiots.
Well i guess Tina is a liar,because she said she will run in 2018.
DeleteNot from Minnesota, but if he was going to nominate a woman, I would have preferred Lori Swanson, the Attorny General. She has been AG for 11 years and has a good track record protecting the rights of the people she serves. She has gone after for profits pretending to b non-profits, for profit colleges,which were ripping people off, and was in the group of AGs who fought the travel ban. I feel she is a better pick with her experience

ReplyDelete'“Is homosexuality right or wrong? It’s not relative,” he said. “There’s a right and wrong, you just said it. So, it’s either right or wrong and if it’s OK then it’s okay from everyone. Quite frankly it’s okay for men to sleep with little boys if it’s OK.”'OK! {THAT SI HOW THEY FUCKING THINK}
'Humphreys said that Oklahoma City schools have gone downhill since a certain “gene pool” moved to the suburbs.'OK
"State Rep. Emily Virgin (D-Norman) appeared on the show with Humphreys and said that she was shocked by the comments. The comments from Humphreys came as part of a conversation about former Republican state Sen. Ralph Shortey, who plead guilty last week to child sex trafficking after being found in a motel with an underage boy."
BUTTFUCKERS!
'It's always about 'the children...'NO
DeleteIt's about the Pedophiles Who PraY on children
Girls are 'relative'ly easy, boys SPARTA.
"Pedophilia is a psychosexual disorder in which the fantasy or actual act of engaging in sexual activity with prepubescent children is the preferred or exclusive means of achieving sexual excitement and gratification. It may be directed toward children of the same sex or children of the other sex. Some pedophiles are attracted to both boys and girls. Some are attracted only to children, while others are attracted to adults as well as to children."
"The condition of being a pedophile is called “pedophilia” and it covers a wide range of sexual activities which may or may not involve force. Sexual acts may include: exposing themselves; masturbating in front of a child; rubbing, fondling or undressing a child with or without genital contact; touching a child’s genitalia or asking the child to touch another’s genitals; exposing them to pornography; talking or teasing a child in sexual ways, oral sex and penetration."
'The affected person must be at least age 16 and be at least 5 years older than the child or children who are the objects or targets of attention or sexual activity.'Child sex offenders don’t stand out and don’t usually appear scary or weird. A child would not normally become afraid when meeting one. They are often someone the child knows; a neighbor, relative, family friend; or someone in a position of authority; i.e., minister, healthcare worker, teacher, coach, leader of children’s activities. Most pedophiles are males."
"50% are married and some are also attracted to other age-appropriate adults."

experience feelings of inferiority, isolation, loneliness, low self-esteem and emotional immaturity. their attraction to children usually began when they were adolescents, but may develop later in life.

have poor communication skills, lack EMPATHY, maybe socially retarded; have difficulty forming close relationships.
feel they are inherently “different” by fate, default or circumstances out of their control and responsibility.
maintain a façade or “FRONT” for the world to see; divide the world into ME and them.
JUSTIFYING THEIR ACTIONS
They live in a distorted mental world. Most pedophiles view their actions as being totally involuntary–something over which they exercise no control. They cling to this SELF-serving concept because it allows them to continue their acts and still view themselves as an unwilling participant in the process; something they are forced to endure. By seeing themselves as being VICTIMized, they are able to justify not setting any personal limits on themselves, which allows them to do anything they want without feeling guilty or responsible. They manipulate the FACTS and use their delusions as permission or justification to do what they want to do." TRUE> “Sickness is a condition. Evil is a behavior. Evil is always a matter of choice. Evil is not thought; it is conduct. And that conduct is always volitional." And>
" just as evil is always a choice, sickness is always the absence of choice. Sickness happens. Evil is inflicted…sickness should be treated. Evil must be fought…if a person has desires or fantasies about sexually exploiting children, that individual may be sick…But if the individual chooses to act upon those feelings, that conduct is evil. People are not what they think; they are what they do.”
'The typical child sex offender molests an average of 117 children, most of who do not report the offense."

300,000 white Alabama women voted for Roy Moore with most saying a man of his religious beliefs could never do what he was accused of. Funny thing is Catholics said the same thing about pedophile priests. Only in America, folks.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I was wondering why the evangelicals and catholics both over look the phedophelia in their congregation but they have shit fits over homosexuals. What a weird way of thinking. Must be a cult thing.
DeleteJones won with the female vote. Many mothers with children under the age of 18.
DeleteThose 300,000 white women were the minority, like 35% of women.
It is the abortion issue,same reason orthodox the jews vote republican.
DeleteI also think it is a southern thing,a pedophile is better than no man at all,so they give them more than the benefit of the doubt.
So they vote for an accused pedophile but if a thirty year old man showed up at their door to take out their underage daughter, they would shoot him, we, call the cops. No, they'd shoot him
DeleteWomen in the south ate often raised hearing the phrase "If they're old enough to bleed, they're old enough to breed."
DeleteCatholics aren't fundies (at least not most) RC coined the term "cafeteria Catholic" and working man's dispensation. Most are pretty accepting of difference and encourage diverstiy and inclusion.Many are ex-Cathloics in teh foramls weekly curch going sense, becuase of the pedophile priest scandal, but go ahead and continue to speak from ignorance.
DeleteAnd those white women are largely OLD, as in over 70. Still pissed off at their younger sisters for the freedom of reliable bc and workign options.
Deletewhere do you get pajamas that big? i don't want any, just wondering. WHY IS THIS CREEP STILL IN OFFICE?
ReplyDeleteThose you would probably have to have custom made. Notice the rubber ducky pattern? I don't think you can just go out and buy them.
DeleteI'm guessing they might have come from a fetish site, I've seen pictures of grown men in diapers, they have to come from somewhere.
Deletereal diapers or depends? i've seen grown men who like to pretend they are babies but they leave it in private. he looks like the worlds biggest 2 year old.
DeleteEvery time Sarah sees that photo of Blake in his ducky pajamas she starts signing "hunka-hunka burning love" song.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't she have a son in law that wears similar pajamas?
DeleteWhen hearing the news of Oma-gross-a getting fired I poured beer on my cornflakes to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great morning.
She was fired? Trump fired her? Or Kelly?
DeleteGOOD GUYS? "“Now with the year coming to a close, with the leadership of the Department of Justice finally before us, what do my Republican colleagues want to discuss?” said Nadler, the ranking Democrat.
ReplyDelete“Hillary Clinton’s EMAILS. Let me repeat that. With all of these unresolved issues left on our docket, a week before we adjourn for the calendar year, the majority’s highest oversight priority is Hillary Clinton’s EMAILS and a few related text messages.”"
