President "Family Values" hires only the best people




BREAKING:

 Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has withdrawn from consideration to lead the Pentagon on a permanent basis, President Trump announced Tuesday.

 The announcement came after USA Today published the details of a 2010 violent domestic dispute with his then-wife that was investigated by the FBI for his background check.

 “Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, who has done a wonderful job, has decided not to go forward with his confirmation process so that he can devote more time to his family,” Trump tweeted.

Remember Rob Porter left trump's inner circle of advisors for domestic violence.

Now Shanahan?

This put me in mind about something that happened several years ago.  A rightwing troll came to P.E. many times  and posted the comments below. 

What is it about rightwingers and their fascination with beating the crap out of women? Is it because they need to make up for their little inadequacies?

But the REAL question is, "Does Harry Reid beat his wife?"

Did that Thersites troll stop beating his wife. Or husband?

A perfectly chosen cognomen, Thersites-
"So he spoke, Thersites, abusing Agamemnon
the shepherd of the people. But brilliant Odysseus swiftly
came beside him scowling and laid a harsh word upon him:
‘Fluent orator though you be, Thersites, your words are
ill-considered. Stop, nor stand up alone against princes.
Out of all those who came beneath Ilion with Atreides
I assert there is no worse man than you are. Therefore
you shall not lift up your mouth to argue with princes,
cast reproaches into their teeth, nor sustain the homegoing….’

So he spoke and dashed the sceptre against his back and
shoulders, and he doubled over, and a round tear dropped from him,
and a bloody welt stood up between his shoulders under
the golden sceptre’s stroke, and he sat down again, frightened,
in pain, and looking helplessly about wiped off the tear-drops."
