This administration is normalizing white men with problems like being abusive towards women, being racist, lying, raping, & being a sex pest.

It wants to put problematic white men in leadership positions.

The definition of human sleaze

In short, what you’re saying is that he fits right in with wretched hive of scum and villainy currently running our nation’s capitol buildings.

A little refresher for everyone. This dirt bag tried running in my district before the Senate run https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/wife-of-trump-backed-senate-candidate-sean-parnell-claims-he-strangled-her-beat-their-children-1251824/

But but drag queen story hours are the problem 🙄

avrill.bsky.social•10 days ago

There should be billboards everywhere listing all the domestic abusers on Trump‘s staff, past & present. I’m sure there are many more than I can remember, but start with:
Trump, Parnell, Hegseth, Porter, Bannon, Andrew Puzder, David Sorensen Herschel Walker, Lewandowski (female reporter, not wife)…

nevereverquit2.bsky.social•10 days ago

An absolute obscenity.

cmaxmost.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes, being a criminal or a sexual predator is a requirement for serving in this administration

cmhoskins.bsky.social•9 days ago

Being an abuser seems to be a qualifier for this administration, doesn't it? They all are.

janepor00325520.bsky.social•9 days ago

But it’s so scummily maga.

Sending only their best! Monsters

ronmexico007.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sean is an entitled grifter. He’s been a Hegseth acolyte pre Trump. Has people from marginalized groups in his life - trans step child from wife 2.0 & gay brother. Doubt he’ll advocate for them b/c it might jeopardize his self annointed ascension. Add questionable finances. Many pressure points.

chimpvsdog.bsky.social•10 days ago

They literally can’t find anyone qualified to be in government except grifters, pitchmen, and criminals.

rwkar.bsky.social•10 days ago

The saddening maddening thing is that millions of women voted for this when they voted for Trump. None of this is a surprise.

mjprieve.bsky.social•9 days ago

He looks very punchable.

"Military freezes sexual assault prevention training after Trump executive order on DEI"

amatteroffact5737.bsky.social•9 days ago

The operative word is “should have” ended

Sexual assault only raises his stature in Trump’s eyes

#RepublicanRapeCulture

jacc1330.bsky.social•10 days ago

AND they do it precisely because they can and love to flaunt it.

biggerthanfrogs.bsky.social•9 days ago

That last sentence is the perfect summation.
When the party that once championed character, now acquiesces to Trump, the whole party has become an act of political violence.

carolnorris.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm a trauma psychotherapist and wrote about this a while back. Patients are spending lots of time having to work through the fact that all these abusers/alleged abusers are in positions of power. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/trump-adjudicated-rapist

zen1924.bsky.social•10 days ago

And the percentage of white women who voted for this abuser is disgusting

activistmoderate.bsky.social•9 days ago

Donald Trump is a rapist. He rapes everything he touches. He raped his father's legacy, his kids' childhood, contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped shareholders, over 20 women, raped Ukraine, raped Christianity, the constitution & now our government. He won't stop until he's horizontal.

karimala.bsky.social•10 days ago

My PTSD is through the roof.

carolnorris.bsky.social•9 days ago

It makes so much sense that it would be. I hope you're doing anything you can to help find a sense of safety and support, even if just a little bit.

karimala.bsky.social•9 days ago

Binge watching tv works wonders. Keeps my mind off the abusive messaging.

lucygoosey70.bsky.social•10 days ago

As the DOD removes all training about sexual asssult and harassment reporting and prevention, EEO, and No Fear Act from all its platforms.

browder2neustadt.bsky.social•10 days ago

A vile digital r4pist lumbering in the Oval is ALSO a cruel insult. This is the admin’s MO.

The title to this book - New Democracy. It has a lot nicer ring than Gilead.

sarcasticsmall.bsky.social•10 days ago

It's "merit".

latinphilo.bsky.social•10 days ago

I guess is is ok since they don't want women in the military? Because, you know, DEI, witches, menstruation, pregnancy, being raped and complaining about it. Things that other countries have no problem with, but because American men are such superior being, that they don't need women.

wasserl.bsky.social•10 days ago

But is the entire DOD civilian leadership made up of wife beaters and drunks? From the too down?

pedelpusher.bsky.social•10 days ago

Women need to, better, rise up because you're about to become property again

jonpelican.bsky.social•10 days ago

This administration makes the top Nazi brass look like a bunch of Mother Teresas.

kimnoreen.bsky.social•7 days ago

At this point, I think it's safe to say that most of the men in positions of power in the GOP are sexual and/or domestic abusers, misogynists and racists. Seems more a right of passage to get into the gool ol' boys club than ever before.

jamesbenton.bsky.social•10 days ago

He and Hegseth can compare notes on who's the worse toxic man.

jimsamuel.com•10 days ago

Abusing women is a plus to Donnie Dimwit.

jimrissmiller.bsky.social•9 days ago

Considering Trump is a known and adjudged sexual predator … maybe they’re starting a new club.

johncraighammond.bsky.social•10 days ago

It should have ended before that, in 2020, when he signed on to a lawsuit trying to invalidate all vote by mail ballots in the Commonwealth of PA after he lost his election for the House and PA wisely rejected Trump.

jamesschilf.bsky.social•10 days ago

Fits in perfect, throw in a chemical dependency, some grifting, tax evasion, campaign violation perfect fit
Surprised he wasn't picked for VP

ultranova13.bsky.social•10 days ago

The GoP does not care, they revel in rubbing our noses in their disdain for common decency.

mcpoylesnavy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Listen, Parnell post service record has been nothing but a grifter trying to cash in on his service. His public office runs showed that he is a lowlife. Every article about him should begin and end with, “Parnell is a piece of shit.”

ieb123.bsky.social•9 days ago

He fits the image of what they're selling.
