Mike Pence is a jerk.  There’s no way over, under, or around that.  Hell, his jerk tree is so high that an eight legged cat couldn’t climb it.

But, I almost felt sorry for him yesterday.

Pence was jabbering about how there was going to be proof, proof I tell you, that Donald Trump did not grope all those women.  Bless his heart, he was damn near gleeful about it.

“Before the day is out there will be more evidence that calls into question these [sexual assault] allegations,” Pence said Friday morning on CBS.

“Just stay tuned. I know that there is more information that is coming out that will back his claim that this is all categorically false,” he added.

So, we all waited, making notes of how we would word our sincere apology to Donald Trump.

Honey, my Schaden is filled with a ton of Freude.  Scamming Trump got scammed by a scammer.

A British man named Anthony Gilberthorpe has stepped forward to serve as an exculpatory witness for Trump.  He says he was sitting across the aisle from Trump and Jessica Leeds on the airplane flight where Trump was all over her. Gilberthorpe says that Leeds was the aggressor.

Somebody in the Trump campaign should learn to use Google because they would have found a bushel basket of cringeworthy things about Gilberthorpe.  And after yesterday they would have found this.

Grasp that straw, Pence!  You’re more of jerk today than yesterday.

I sending love to the Centennial High School Boy’s Locker Room.

Centennial High School athletes are fighting back against the idea that bragging about sexual assault is locker room talk.

A picture of basketball, football, soccer and cross country athletes in a locker room at the Gresham school, wearing shirts that say “Wild Feminist” has been shared over a thousand times already on Facebook. The caption to the picture reads: “Sexual Assault is not locker room banter. #wildfeminist #reptheC.”

The shirts were made by Wildfang and they probably have your Christmas list covered.

Thanks to George for the heads up.

They pretty much summed it up perfectly —-

And if we needed any proof that the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree, Donald Trump, Jr., offered his suggestion for women being sexually harassed in the workplace – go teach kindergarten.

You really need to read the whole mess, but here’s an outtake.

“If you can’t handle some of the basic stuff that’s become a problem in the workforce today, then you don’t belong in the workforce. Like, you should go maybe teach kindergarten. I think it’s a respectable position.

“You can’t be negotiating billion-dollar deals if you can’t handle, like, you know,” Trump said, without elaborating.

I am so delighted that he finds kindergarten teacher “a respectful position”  because my Aunt Tilly taught kindergarten and she could send that little jerk home with his winkie in his wallet.  What a little snot.

Oh, y’all.

Judeo-Christian values on display —

Gee, if only Donald Trump had thought of that in the last debate.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

So, Donald Trump says he’s going to get aggressive now.

Now?

Okay, so best I can figure that means he’ll also be nakkid when he walks in on women in dressing rooms at beauty pageants.

He’ll take a chainsaw to the next debate?

He’ll stop sleeping altogether and ride a cocaine high until November 28th – which is when he told people to vote.

Oh Florida, how cruel your Lady Karma is.

Okay, so Michael Richard Maser is a piece of work.  He’s a convicted child abuser and a stalker.  Just the kind of guy you expect to be armed to the gills in Florida.

And speaking of gills —

A homeless Lake Panasoffee man was charged Thursday with having a firearm as a convicted felon after authorities revealed he threatened to shoot another man before shooting himself in the genitals.

Oh yeah, that’s our guy.

Want a cherry on top of that ice cream?  It happened in church parking lot.  Maser threatened a guy.  The police got called.  Maser drove to a church parking lot and shot his gun.  And his penis.

Maser then drove to the Grace Bible Fellowship Church off East Arbor Street, got out of his truck and fired the revolver. The round struck his penis, left testicle, left inner thigh and exited his left leg, according to the report.

But, it could have been better.

Police found a STEN Mk. II submachine gun on the floorboard behind the passenger seat of Maser’s truck.

It would have been a lot more fun if he had used that.

Thanks to Lee for the heads up.
