Sen. Joni Ernst could've torpedoed Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary. She's a military veteran and survivor of sexual assault. Hegseth was credibly accused of abuse of women, including rape. Joni Ernst's "yes" vote will make women less likely to come forward. She voted for sexual assault.
Republican hypocrites!!
Poor Joni either doesn't understand that they don't believe she was sexually assaulted or they believe that she asked for it. There's no other option for MAGAts.
Why would you expect a scum sucking republican like that useless sack of sh*t Joni Ernst to do the right thing?
Such a pathetic sell out. Can you live with yourself?
Joni Ernst is vile; and, not just for supporting Hegseth.
I always thought she was terrible, but was willing to start giving her the benefit of the doubt, same as I did with Liz Cheney, for standing up for America, and especially women, in Joni’s case. But she failed. Fuck Joni Ernst for all time!
They are not the same, by a long shot. I’m no fan of Liz Cheney, BUT, she IS a Patriot and showed up for her Country as a Patriot. Joni Ernst is NO patriot, military service be damned.
Liz is the real deal whether you like her or not! She’s human for starters and that goes a long way!!!
Interesting how White people, WW in particular, ignore that Cheney voted with Trump 90+% of the time and never spoke up about anything. She's no patriot. She was just mad that her life was put in danger on 1/6.
Tell her -Joni Ernst @senjoniernst.bsky.social
Seems logical, right? She doesn’t care. The majority of voters in Iowa don’t give a damn about the Country. I mean, they just reelected 91-year old Grassley who does nothing for them. Eight terms in the Iowa House, three terms in the U.S. House and he’s as vile as the rest of them.
This I shall never understand.
Joni, you should be ashamed of yourself for selling out your sisters, rape survivors, and the United States of America for cowardice and cash. Some people are so poor all they have is money.
As a two time survivor, this makes me sick! I’ll never understand how anyone should could turn her back on other survivors 🤬
two-faced sell-out
And women less likely to consider the US military in this political environment is, unfortunately, smart. Of course, I wouldn't suggest men enlist in this shit show either.
She did. No respect. And I’m a woman veteran.
She is an embarrassment.
Joni Ernst is one of 20 Senators up for reelection in 2026.
I should say 20 republican senators.
She let the military down, she let women in and out of the military down and she let her country down. I’m sure she is joying her close relationship with Trump though, so there’s that
Joni Ernst is against sexual abuse of her.
Ernst is a veteran and a VICTIM of sexual asssult. She’s the quintessential GOP sellout woman giving the white Christian patriarchy cover to get a few leftover crumbs of power.
She's getting old and Hegseth promised her a lil tune up for her vote.
She's a coward. As a fellow Iowan, I am repulsed by her action.
I'm sure she was paid off in one way or another.
she must have been promised something pretty juicy to do this.
😡😡😡
She's a puppet, obeying her masters.
Yep/ welcome to internalized misogyny- it’s particularly powerful in women who belong to religious extremist groups and male dominated professions.
She is also a collaborator.
She caved. A spineless self serving weasel who placed her political ambitions ahead of our country. Phony bastard.
All MAGAt women voted in favor of sexual assault.
Cowardice on display!
it's amazing how she and her colleagues can stand up without a spine. She clearly had no principles. What happened to values? Oh wait, money and the dream of power that she'll never get.
Either she lied about being assaulted or she doesn't care if it happens to any other woman in any occupation. These magats are incredibly cruel💙😁🐢💙
she's a spineless coward.
Makes you wonder huh?
Would someone who has endured the physical and emotional pain of sexual assualt vote for sexual predator? Not in my experience. Sexual predators should be branded across their forehead with "rapist"!
Did she endure sexual assault? She did. Would she vote for a sexual predator? She did. At this point, it's no longer the character of her sexual predator about which we should be concerned, but HERS.
If she was sexually assaulted and she voted for that sexual predator; she has betrayed every survivor of sexual assault and sent a message to the predators that sexual assault is acceptable!
What a shame. She was qualified for this position.
It's actually simple arithmetic. She will lose fewer votes to a Democratic challenger for her yes vote than she would lose to a MAGA primary challenger had she voted no. Hegseth's lack of qualifications and character shortcomings had nothing to do with it.
Yes, she’s been bought. Sold her soul for her own next election. Sad revelation about her lack of character 😞
What does he have over her???
She is all in on the MAGA thing. There is literally no hope of her ever doing anything different. All the sane Iowans hate her nearly as much as we hate our governor, Covid Kimmy.
Let's be honest, phony Joni was always going to be a yes.
Ernst is a tool. No spine or moral fiber.
And belongs to a larger bag of tools.
I’m a veteran who always tells people that serving is a great way to honor the country, get great training, and make lifelong friends and memories. My granddaughter is interested in joining because her dad (my son) is also a veteran. We are now recommending she go to university instead.
what a coward. she has turned he back on women
Ernst is more concerned with another term in the senate than with the concerns of a healthy military. She voted for a sexual predator and a stinking drunk. Good work, Senator Ernst
I don't like Ernst any more than the next person, but her puny vote is NOT why women don't, or will be less likely to, come forward. Please don't speculate on this topic as a man. You don't know what you don't know.
It’s not the only reason, but let’s not pretend “Even powerful survivors will fuck me over because it’s every woman for herself” doesn’t factor into the reason for not reporting.
Just as it’s unfair when she gets put on the hook for being a woman, it’s also unfair when she gets let off it because she’s a woman.
Both points are fair. Especially white women in power seats.What pisses me off is that a man presumes that her vote is/was a tipping point. 🙄
Yes, with you there, especially considering it was a literal tie-breaker vote? So we know EXPLICITLY whose vote it was that fucked it all.
Despicable
Any female veteran groups out there that EVER invites that woman to come speak @ ANY of their events going forward needs to have their heads examined.
AMEN
She has disqualified herself from representing women in ANY capacity.
Another win for President Rapist and his merry band of misogynist incels! Thanks Senator Ernst, a real hero of….er…..rapists and creeps.
She's disgusting.
I hate myself for saying this, but I question women like her and mace who say they were assaulted but can vote for rapists. doesn’t jive, from experience of those I know personally.
Don't know how she lives with herself.
I never will understand these women.
She's self loathing.
She voted to keep her friggin’ job. She was terrified of being primaried. The relentless pressure campaign produced the desired result!
All about the money and power. Probably some veiled threats, too.
@joniernst.bsky.social
No posts yet the coward.
She's a veteran of military deployment. And, as she wants us to know, a champion hog castrator. But when it comes to just casting a vote against a drunk, lying sexual assaulter for one of the hightest offices in the land, she couldn't cut it.
Absolutely shameful. She just crapped on every woman in the military who has experienced sexual assault...not to mention the rest of them. Completely and totally shameful.
We needed the courage of John McCain from her. That cote will have repercussions around the world that will hurt our country and put women in the military in further jeopardy.
She did vote for sexual assault. Her vote was a gut punch to women everywhere and she will bear responsibility for what comes next with this unqualified Director of Defense.
Self serving. They pretty much all are.
All repubs are yes.
They may regret their choices right soon. When they are all disenfranchised by the horrors they are endorsing. Like picking your own “firing” squad.
Trumps future may not be so secure neither due to the number of unqualified people that now surrounds him..he wants loyalty but never know who one can truly trust in his world
Lots of rubble before then.
Frankly so are the dems....they have been asleep at the wheel and are still rolling over.
Name them. Or stop it.
www.newsweek.com/full-list-de...
I’m not a fan of this at all. It’s bs. But my question is how does AOC get away with voting against every fuvking transformational progressive bill Joe did? Here’s her votes. This sucks worse imo. When climate, unions, HC, infrastructure was in the line she said nope. But y’all give her a free pass.
Well it didn’t pay off did it? But scorecards after the biggest lost in American history only help if there’s an action plan. Or a suggested action plan.
What biggest loss in American history?
A democracy. To an authoritarian regime. You been away?
Very costly bill. Perhaps their budget resolution will figure out they were duped. And that private mass detention interests are waiting with hands out - to break the law. Keep track. Let them know you know.
Not thinking there are any heroes.
We are the heros. It’s us. And no/ it’s not Bernie or AOC. So sick of that shit. We did the work and we will do it again. And anyone who sat on their asses can stfu.
Like I said, mass resistance is great. This is a coup. Voting better would have helped and been so much easier. We need opposition as much as resistance. Strong opposition
But the senate would have passed it anyway. You DO KNOW we don’t have a majority right?!!!!! The VOTERS gave everything to the criminals on a silver platter. The math ain’t mathing. And it never will until the stupid voters wtf up.
There are ultimately no plusses to support a dictator. No rationalization and no amount of money. It’s a lose/ lose so lose on the side of humanity and moving forward.
Indeed
What is wrong with some women like Joni Ernst? Even Susan Collins was soooo concerned she actually voted no.
White supremacy is a helluva drug.
And she's a coward, she's made things worse for women hence forward.
Please feel free to email her your thoughts as I just did. These senators and congresspeople need to be called out!
Sellouts, opportunists, and cowards. That's why there are no 'guardrails'.
As a female veteran to say I am disgusted by Ernest’s yes on Hegseth doesn’t begin to describe how I feel.
So disappointing
It's power. They're self-serving scum addicted to wealth and power. All members of congress should be forced to divest from the stock market and live on their salaries, like 90% of the population they allegedly represent.
I don’t believe for a second that Joni Ernst was sexually assaulted. She’s an unreliable witness.
No woman that really suffered a SA in or out of the military would advance a man that there was such strong evidence against that he was guilty of such. She does not respect fellow female service members or herself if her claim is true
Kowtowing or worse to Trump!
Anyone who's counting on Joni Ernst to do the right thing hasn't been paying attention.
Republicans in Congress are all terrified if Trump instead of working together. They will end up regretting their decisions!
You need Morals to have regret
Got to wonder what they promised her?
and why would she (or anyone) believe the promises of known liars?
To be free of, “or else” threats and the wrath of the cult of Repubs She’s a f’n coward
She's a pos!!!
And will her constituents care enough to vote her out?
That's the only question that matters.
Bet there are women rape survivors in Iowa, too. We are everywhere.
😢
Un fucking believable
As did a majority of white women in November. It's so maddening and depressing, and I don't know how we ever fix it.
My guess is that she was paid well or got some committee appointment.
The Senators are only interested in keeping their seat and their power. They don’t give a FF about the country! But you’re right, her vote was particularly disappointing
I'd guess they think they are safe from anything that will happen, unlike the rest of us
Maybe Pete will do Joni next .She deserves it .
Like most of her ilk, joni ernst (ain't capitalizing her name or rank) voted as she was told by uncle vlad... this country already belongs to the soviet bloc...
federation bloc* soviet bloc’s dead, would’ve been much nicer
Probably threatened with getting primaried. Or murdered.
She also gave Susan Collins a nice break. We know she would have voted for him had Ernst said no…
And the sad part of this is: She will not be punished in any way for her vote FOR Hegseth. Had she done the right thing and voted against him she would have had to pay a price. Now? ALL women in the military will pay a price for her lack of morality.
Obviously her job matters more than her country and all her speechifying was just BS. I hope she loses re-election anyway.
Yes. 😞
Joni was sooooo afraid of being primaried from the right that she caved. What makes her think Dump-Elon won't do it anyway? They hate women & despise anyone who shows fear. If they back a nut, then Dems win from the middle! if an intelligent middle-of-the-road candidate would wait until she
The “woman” vote in full relief. It makes no sense.
She sure did and betrayed all of us.
A betrayal to women, the military and her oath of office. Proud day for Joni.
She's also a coward!
How can that woman even sleep at night knowing she did this? She must not have an ounce of compassion for her fellow woman or a shred of a conscience
It’s as if the MeToo movement never existed
She got bought off, or scared off. Too bad for her reputation.
Republican hack, shameful
It also makes her less likely to stand up against any atrocity the Orange Turd and his gang do because if she had possessed any integrity or courageous she would have used it on this nomination.
Joni Ernst’s legacy will be she can castrate a hog in record time.
Yet she's the one that squealed the loudest!
But she won't get primaried, right ? 🤬🤬🤬
It will lead to trickle down assaults until military bends to the point that being assaulted comes with the uniform.
A stupid woman will always do stupid things. This is case in point. Fire her.
Had she voted No - it might have boosted her in future dem administrations But now she gets illegal MPs
It will make women less likely to trust her as an ally and more likely to distrust her integrity…
Please, has anybody managed to elicit a coherent answer from any MAGA female as to how they decided that they wanted a rapist & sexual predator of females to be US President again? Utterly despicable & nauseating betrayal of their gender. As for 🇬🇧 female MAGA fans, shame on you!
She was compensated bigly for her sellout vote.
🤦♀️
Like many Republicans. Trump blackmailed them with threats of primarying them & messing with their funding. She, like many of her fellow male Republicans, chose self over country. Let's not just talk about her. Let's call out all the self-serving creeps.
Which is what makes local activism with local officials vital to stopping what the fascists are clearly positioning themselves to do. God help us; this could have tragic consequences.
Self over country is right. No one working in government should be there to become rich and famous.
She voted to keep HERSELF from being a target of MAGA and to keep those campaign funds flowing. Funny, it doesn't seem to stop any of the democrats from voting against the GOPs traitorist BS.
The threats may have been more than political. I have to believe that part of the reason that not one GOP official is coming forward after Trump pardoning the Insurrectionists en masse has to be threats of violence made by or tacitly approved by Trump.
And, I hope more than a few investigative journalists are trying to find evidence of this. Of course, the Bezos Post wouldn't want to do that anymore, as they've "learned" since Watergate that they must stay "objective". #bothsideserism #ImpeachTrumpThrice
Then let one of them try and then we can take care of the lot of them
Meaning, the Storm Troopers??? It is my hope that evidence will come out that will crack the foundations of the Nazi infrastructure that Trump is building.
He IS planning to have storm troopers. By characterizing immigration as an “invasion” and tasking the military with protecting “the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States along our national borders,” the second executive order may expand the “military purpose doctrine”. Jackboots
That's what I'm saying. And any strategy that doesn't recognize this is feckless.
I do not dispute this. I believe it was a decision made in fear for safety and politics. BUT her oath is to the constitution -- not to her political standing. Her vote jeopardizes the safety of the military and the entire US. I will not excuse her cowardice. She voted against impeachment twice. WIMP
I mostly agree. Only point though is, depending on level of (speculated) threats toward one's family, it's hard to know what we might do in any situation. In brief, we need to operate on both tracks, to sniff out any bigger root cause and ultimately prosecute it publicly.
There are so many perks to be a Senator. Some sacrifice might be that they need to live some risk. Or start getting Secret Service protection when threatened. If our politicians vote out of fear rather than in the country's interest -- it is not a democracy or representative republic (for GOP!)
1/2 I get all that. But we see what the Führer is doing now, targeting individuals and going so far beyond the bounds of normal checks and balances and legality. I don't put past Trump. It's not about her safety per se.
2/2 It's about the the extent of fascism and the fear that soon it will be too late to do anything. But, if we are able to dig beneath the surface and unearth some secrets, maybe, just maybe we could get some GOP dominoes - elected or unelected - to start falling.
I agree revealing the dirt could help!! Though it did not help keeping trump out of power -- so much was revealed about his misdeeds and still people voted for the lying criminal. So, now it is time for the FO of FAFO for maga supporters and enablers.
Agee. But. Standing up to him is the only way to eventually defeat him. The idiots could have convicted him in the second impeachment and been done with him. These cowards deserve their consequences. We are at that stage for the GOP to feel their mistakes bc they will not learn by observing.
What a disgusting person she is, no respect for her. She should never be allowed to represent women. Are all you white women proud of who you voted for?
What? I didn’t vote for her or Trump. I knocked on doors, made calls, wrote letters, emailed and donated-posted yard signs too. “All you white women” is like saying ‘all Muslim’ or ‘all black men’. I’m disgusted so many WW voted Trump but it wasn’t all. I’ll not be lumped in like that.
In light of what is happening I’m only asking white women as a group, if they are proud of who they voted for? I am because I voted for the most qualified candidate, and not a convicted felon
Shame on her
If you had the courage to join and serve in the military, where the hell did all that courage and allegiance to country go when you joined the senate?? She KNOWS this person was a bad choice!
Joni Ernst @senjoniernst.bsky.social Good place to go and vent on a traitorous cheeto-sucking Nazi sympathizer. +++++++++++++++++++++
I blocked both of her accounts. Its best to not give them oxygen.
As a woman & veteran, she needs to hear from me. She needs to know that she has endangered so many people with her actions.
She's got a page on Bluesky, go drag her ass.
Reporting for duty.
Obviously, she got some pre$$ure.
Exactly! She sold her soul to the devil… just like the rest of them!
Knowing full well she was more qualified than dui Pete
I starting to believe Ernst and Mace were not victims of sexual assault because I can't understand why they keep backing men who hurt women.
I want to be sick
I just emailed her office with feedback. Please folks, if you're not responding to those who do not vote in our best interest, you're literally letting them do whatever they want with our lives.
This is accurate but let’s not hold her to a higher standard than any other republican senator that voted for this bullshit. They are all equally responsible for the horrible things that are going to happen.
She should be held to a higher standard than other members of Congress if she truly experienced sexual abuse. Why on earth would you subject other women to assault
Absolutely right.
@senjoniernst.bsky.social You are a disgrace to every member of the military and every woman that voted for you, voting for that POS to be the Defense Secretary.
🤬🤬
Let her know www.ernst.senate.gov/contact/emai...
Indeed. She’s in good company. 35 million women voted for trump. Maga women are good with sexual predators.
Veteran Ernst--whom I thank for her military service--also has a substantive sense of the havoc a clearly unqualified Secretary of Defense can wreak on our national security. Her vote to confirm Hegseth was willful dereliction of duty in a bid to save her own political hide. No thanks for that.
Her and Nancy Mace should make a Podcast - "We sold our souls for MAGAt popularity"
Both butch. Both not in the good way.
She was gonna get primaried. Problem w that is a much more horrible MAGAt would have replaced her. I see her dilemma. It's better she stay than risk her replacement.
Agree, but's not let off the other female GOP Senators who voted for him.
Katie Britt is also terrible, but at least she capitulated right away, without doing a whole performance art piece.
She is the worst
Oh, no, they're proxy rapists, too. But to be a vet, with knowledge of all of the sexual abuse history that the military carries, to put Hegseth in charge is as bad as if she dried the Dildo of Betrayal herself w/a standard issue brown towel.
What a bunch of a$$ holes!
Don’t hang this solely on Ernst…. Every sing republican and Trump voter enabled this. Anything that happens on t’s term is on everyone that brought him there.
She could have put a stop early on but was swayed by online social media threats. Why wasn’t that given more coverage? And why didn’t she stand up to it?
She could have, and no doubt she was in someway bought off, but I don’t want to sight that this appointment should fall solely on her…she’s a sell out and coward, just like every neo-nazi Republican.
She sold out under the pressure. What a disappointment. As a former soldier I thought she would have been brave😢
Primary her, hard.
Run against her in the 2026 General
She’s from Iowa.
She did that when she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh AND when she voted for Cheetolini.
Shameful
At the end of the day she is a Republican/MAGA. I'm sure mafia Don (yes) was very persuasive with primary threats. What the hell else would make a military woman and a sexual assault survivor vote for Hagseth. Mafia Don's threats have most in Senate and the house shaking with fear. Cojones missing.
She should go back to her pigs..birds of a feather
The pigs are simply what they are; she however, has descended into the mud, of her own volition.
You are so right.
Wonder how much they paid her to vote yes?
She voted to save her career. See out!
Just epic weakness. Absolute collapse of a human.
I'm a woman who will stand up for our rights. Joni Ernst is a sellout and only cares about keeping a job. Pathetic!
Iowa has a bitch governor and Grassley was in on 1/6. I would expect nothing less.
It’s bad enough that women have become accustomed to men giving a wink and a nod to sexual assault. When a woman throws other women under the bus, especially for political gain, it’s doubly painful. She knifed all of us in the back. Hope she gets the karma that she deserves.
Consider that if Hegseth was woman with seven children from three fathers who had a drinking problem and multiple extramarital affairs, she wouldn't have even made it up the stairs outside the Capitol .
Project 2025 wants marriage to be between a man and a woman and a woman and a woman, basically.
The problem, always, is that republicans are shit people. They're just vile from the word go. They insist on fucking up other people's lives.
There’s a special place in hell for women like Joni Ernst and Nancy Mace.
I hear she is easy to scare- hope her constituents send her some mean tweets and voice messages
She knew better but put her political career ahead of American security.
Let’s have a toast to the new “so called” Secretary of Defense!!! C H E E R S !!! Let’s give him the first keg folks & Join the SPIRITS America - it’s in the house! 🤭🤪🤭
It’s truly unbelievable! She totally abandoned women with her yes vote. Such game playing, and all for her re-election? Who would vote for such an self important politician like her now!!??!!
All maga would vote for her..she stayed true to trump👍
She sold her soul to the devil.
😡💙!
TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL.. HOW CAN SHE LOOK IN THE MIRROR AFTER THAT VOTE.. OBVIOUSLY SHE HAS FORGOTTEN HER OATH, OR SHE JUST DOESN'T GAF TO HONOR AND LIVE BY IT😳😡
Ernst was a disappointment, but she’s up for reelection next year, and the farmers are going to FAFO With the felon making their lives worse and when that happens Ernst will lose, she’ll find out that selling your soul for the felon won’t work out too well for her
But the farmers went thru this the last time #felon47 von Schitzenpantz was in charge and imposed tariffs yet here we are.
She's an embarrassment to women everywhere.
And as I noted before on here, she was essentially and effectively assaulted again to vote for him and she did. So horrifically disgusting. 🤮 Sexual assault problems in the military will clearly escalate and morale deteriorate now. And they own this now.
I curse Ernst. I curse the hog sewer that makes Iowa rich and deadly to the Mississippi and the dead waters of the Gulf of "America ".
Ernst is just another brain dead, stepford wife, playing at being a Senator.
No more or less than every other degenerate yes vote.
She’s worse because she told us that she knew better. I am more angry at her because I (naively) hoped that we might be able to count on her this ONE time. But no. You are right though that in reality, she is scum just like the rest of them.
The notable vote was McConnell's no, and how even he could not whip a single repug to defect. It shows, grimly, how total the trumpist coup still remains. Inevitably, it will self-destruct. But only after incalculable damage is inflicted.
Let’s send her a postcard!!
She could have, but that would have taken character, integrity, and a bit of bravery insofar as she'd have to face some orange-clown wrath.
Wait! but I am a veteran as well, aren't those the traits she's supposed to embody 🤔
We might think so... or hope so.... but she's a Republican in the age or Trump.
Time to get out of politics and take the primary. This is beyond embarrassing and so destructive.
💯
She knows better. Joni Ernst will forever be stained by this vote.
She’s clearly comfortable with rapists in positions of power, and the message it sends. She held up the violence against women act to keep the boyfriend loophole open. That is who she is.
Nobody has been able to answer this question for me. I’ve been asking for months. Anyone? Bueller?
Unite to make sure she never wins another election in Iowa. She’s up for reelection in 2026. Organize the resistance now. List of GOP senators up for reelection in 2026.
Who’d have ever thought Mitch McConnell would wind up on the correct side of a GOP nomination vote? If only had conscience had awakened about 10 years ago.
Nope. It was just to give Vance the opportunity to break the tie.
He was safe… only reason he did it
I would have settled for 4 years ago. He had the power to end this and he released this scourge on our democracy. Fuck McConnell.
Threats from republicans. We need to do more than threaten republicans. When someone attacks our country, we need to hit back.
Agreed.
And she is in the bluesky ecosystem...she should stick to shitter where she belongs.
Derp...got so annoyed I posted before reading further 😂
Joni Ernst has no integrity or spine. She is a political hack with no conscience.
So sad
all he needs complicit republicans
Makes one wonder if she was persuaded to vote yes
WHY does she care about being “primaried”?! Do your f’ing job and go home. If you get reelected fine. If not, you still get your salary and free healthcare for life so there’s no excuse for rolling over for the criminal in chief!
My guess is these are the BEST jobs ever, innumerable perks, insider market trading, people pandering for favor and largely unregulated PAC $ . This has got to change. The last ppl willing to lose for truth were Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and all the dem house members who voted for AHCA.
Bernie and Biden and all the folks that have been in those positions for years may still remember they’re public servants and want to help “the people” but it’s obvious from their wardrobes and accessories that they haven’t had to pinch a penny in decades - which separates them from “the people”. 2/
I agree we need to tell them to stop the slogans, roll up their sleeves on a party wide plan to for campaign reform, term limits, repair SS, reinstate prescrip drug roll backs, establish a universal care commission, fair tax code, stop corp gouging w/modern messaging & streamlined fundraising. NOW
This is all true but it seems the criminal in chief intends to have them playing WackAMole with trying to react to/counteract all his BS for the foreseeable future
Its been awhile but I remember what hunger feels like, tallying the cost of every grocery cart item to make sure I had enough at check out, planning how much of what can be eaten each day, wondering if the eviction notice would come today. Some things aren’t forgotten.I wouldn’t assume they have.
It definitely has to change. Most of Congress has obviously been corrupted by too many years of “trickle down economics” and tax cuts for billionaires (millionaires)… with no term limits they become fat and lazy or at least come across as disingenuous when they’re “fighting against” those things. 1/
The desire to get re-elected is more addictive than any drug. Too bad we don't have term limits.
Maybe she and Pete will hang out together some night over drinks. 🤔
As I said, thinking that Iowa reps will help is fooling themselves/ wasting time: ...Iowan here: 1. Joni Ernst stands for absolutely nothing. 2. Her constituents in Iowa are crazier than she is now, it is sad and scary, our legislature and governor make Congress and Trump look liberal. That's why.
For the life of me I cannot understand…
The capitulation to Trump is complete . Don’t ever count on any Republican to disagree with any of the nominees again no matter how egregious the nominee is
She is a PIG.
it'll make women Vengeful. they'll want her fucking gone.
Her overlords told her to.
Women who have been hurt and yet provide cover for abusers are as terrible as the predator. Feminism is for all women, not just ones we agree with. Anything else is dangerous and ethcially dishonest. But that fits the pattern with this entire week :(
What Joni Ernst values more than the welfare of the country as well as peoples lives in her career in politics!
Is somebody going to find out why she caved?
... and it got her nothing. The word on the street is they are replacing her with Kari Lake. Lake is desperate for a seat and she is apparently able to manufacture a connection to Iowa. So the GOP is going to primary Ernst anyway.
Sexual assault, sure, but not of _her_.
So bow does that explain ALL the Dem support?
She fooled me. I thought she understood the assignment.
I am so pissed off at #JoniErnst. She does not even have a backbone as a military veteran. 🤬
