Ducky Boy!
The current Mueller gloat has been interrupted by none other that Texas Congressman Blake Farenthold.
Okay, back in 2014, Blake’s communications director accuse him of “gender discrimination, sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.”
He said disgusting things to her. I do not want to tell you what they were because it will hurt your head, but you can take your life into your own hands and read all about here.
She filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, but the case was later dropped after both parties reached a private settlement.
No information was ever released on that agreement.
House Administration Committee Chairman Gregg Harper (R-Miss.) told GOP lawmakers in a closed-door Friday morning meeting that only one House office in the past five years had used an Office of Compliance account to settle a sexual harassment complaint. Harper said in that one instance, the settlement totaled $84,000.
So, everybody else has to resign for sexual harassment but Blake gets off scott free and the taxpayers pay off his debt for wrongdoing.
Must be his good looks.
Resign now, Blakie.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
A mere $84K for that level of abuse? Her attorney should be on the no hire list or, serve a term of indentured servitude on Donnie’s legal team.
1I got nothing to say about Ducky Boy that I haven’t said. If he had a single iota of decency he entire soul would demand that he resign to assuage the guilt. He is a soulless empty suit.
2The pajama picture clearly was merely an outward and visible sign of his inward and spiritual disgrace, to misquote St. Augustine.
And now, Deus volente, he will be utterly disgraced, and gone. To be replaced, if we are so blessed, with a Democrat.
3We should all get settlements from just having to look at that photo of Ducky Boy in his pajamas.
4To be fair, and to paraphrase Woody Allen, in Blake’s case 80% of sexual harassment is showing up.
5Why does George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” come to mind whenever I see a pic of Blake Farenthold (and aallll the other Repigs)?
As my ex used to specify while ordering Sunday barbacoa: ‘Mas mejilla y carne, sin ojos o sesos, por favor’.
6There are his jowles. Where are the pajamas?
7Farenthold should be required to pay his hush money out of his slush funds, not the federal treasury.
But what do you make of this:
“The Office of Congressional Ethics also investigated Greene’s allegations. In a letter to the House Ethics Committee the watchdog said “there is not substantial reason to believe that Representative Farenthold sexually harassed or discriminated against [ex-staffer Lauren Greene], or engaged in an effort to intimidate, take reprisal against, or discriminate against [Greene] for opposing such treatment, in violation of House rules and federal law.”
8Three thoughts:
1. Eeeuw
2. The blob is worth between $2M and $5.5M and has the best insurance taxpayer money can buy, why hasn’t he has his teeth fixed?
3. December 11th is filing deadline to run against him, have Texas Dems got a candidate lined up?
9Democratic elected officials who may have been rightly accused of sexual abuse, harassment, etc. should apologize sincerely, atone, etc. but should make a statement that they will not resign their elected office until and unless Donald Trump acknowledges and apologizes to the victims his sexual transgressions and resigns the office of the Presidency.
10Bananas,
It would be nice if an excellent previous opponent of Farenthold (2014) could be encouraged to try again in TX-27.
USMCR LtCol Wesley Reed received a good bit of support around here, but the usual Corpus Christi low Democratic voter turnout left him flamed out.
That candidate was about the most ideal Democrat you’ll ever see: Wesley Reed, a retired USMCR LtCol, an F-18 carrier pilot, and who works as a FedEx pilot (when he ran in 2014).
Perhaps JJ/Ms. Bankston could rustle up some high-placed Dems and ring Reed up and twist his arm? Wesley just might be able to smoke the porcine Blakeboy this time.
TX-27 used to stretch from the Rio Grande Valley to around Corpus since it’s establishment in 1983. It was held by Rep. Solomon Ortiz until 2010 (I voted for him from ’82 ’til I moved), when low Dem turnout, an ‘entitled’ Ortiz (a very marginal Rep. anyway), and a fired up Rethug base swung the 27th district over to the dark side.
The Rethugs in Austin promptly radically redistricted the TX-27 boundaries to run from Corpus, nearly to Austin, Katy, and Bay City, excluding the RGV entirely; it’s now a much more Anglo and conservative area.
But, IMO, an outstanding, qualified Democratic might flip it (although in light of Mr. BF’s sorry hiney, even a ham sandwich should do it).

11You mean he’s wealthy and doesn’t get his teeth fixed? Is it because he doesn’t know he’s ugly or he knows that even with good teeth he’d still be ugly?
12Was thinking that looks like the 18 minute gap in the Nixon tapes between Ducky Boy’s front toofers. Had to look it up to see how wide the gap was. !8 to 18.5 minutes.
13Again, Karma has tracked down a most deserving glass bowl. When I heard this earlier today I felt like I could float! At last! Ducky boy gets exactly the kind of press he doesn’t want or need and he can’t stop it! Somewhere somehow he will pay the penalty for what he did with that money!
14Here’s my thoughts on the subject
How many of us on fixed incomes will face a tax increase if the tax bill passes?
Blake has more money then I do and he used my hard earned money to pay for his mistakes?
This info should have been made public.
15Trey Gowdy used 150,000 tax dollars to pay for a wrongful firing.
Why are we paying for congress’s wrongdoings?
Why?
Diane,
Any probable tax increases will likely seem minor compared to the Cost of Living inflation effects (probably serious), deleterious health care changes and costs, housing and transport distortions, and many others.
The hidden costs of this whole blatant fraud and robbery scheme will affect far more people, more seriously, than realized by most of them.
It’s going to hit me in several ways, I’m already planning some changes in anticipation. Much of my income is also ‘fixed’, the inflation of the last 17 years has eroded it (groceries, insurance, taxes, fees, etc., and practically everything else). I can ‘raise’ some income sources, but how long will that work? Going to cut/eliminate some things for sure, starting now, or RSN.
We’re probably mostly an older demographic here in the ‘salon’, so y’all probably remember a few of the hyper-inflationary periods we’ve had over the last five decades or so; they suck, much worse so for ‘fixed income’.
16Hell, for the last decade or two we’ve heard of a ‘deflationary’ period, which should have been good for some ‘fixed income’; but I never saw any deflation, just more inflation, here anyway.
.
I LOVE M’s idea!!!!
And agree with what Diane says.
Let’s forward these concepts to Franken and others who are less distasteful, and vote the ways we want.
17I think it’s time to serve up some crow to this cold duck and a side of stew-in-your-own-juices.
18Rep. Blake Farenthold’s net worth is $5.8 million, yet he used our tax dollars to settle his sexual harassment case.
19Deb,
20But but but, you just don’t unnrstan, DuckyBoy has –Republican Xtian– ‘family values and personal responsibility’. They’re just slightly different than others. Namely, the mnenomic is “FYIGM”.
His wife hadn’t had sex with him in years??? I find that really easy to believe.
21Looks like stupidity was the second thing sticking out of Blake’s ducky boy pajamas.
22M, I cut and pasted your idea into an e-mail to Al Frankin. I think it’s brilliant!
23That fat F! When the Dem’s take over Congress, after reversing just about everything the Repigs have done, they must get rid of that ridiculous policy of paying these settlements. The accused must pay out of pocket.
24When Blake looks in the mirror, he sees Adonis.
25In economics believes that Tinkle Down works.
Why shake hands with a woman when you can Grab ’em by the P****. Guess he just wasn’t quite famous enough when he got caught.
Deficits don’t matter during a Republic*nt administration.
why is it this caricature of a human being wasn’t killed off, before reaching maturity, as nature intended? why are we, the taxpaying public, paying for this clown’s violations of public policy, instead of it coming out of his own pocket? what band of low-rent Neanderthals elected him to public office, and why are they even allowed to vote in the first place?
26I would love to hear what his step-grandmother would say to him.
27At least Joe Barton won’t be running again. The eyes of Texas were upon him and they didn’t like what they saw. And you can’t unsee it. I’ve tried.
28It was the pink jammies that won the sweet young thing over. I’d run for his seat if I lived down there and weren’t afraid I’d fall asleep at my desk.
29FOX NEWS HOST TO @tedcruz: You cool working with alleged child molester Roy Moore if he’s elected?
CRUZ: Sure, no problem, that’s up to the voters.
FOX NEWS HOST: And what about alleged groper Al Franken?
CRUZ: Now that’s a very serious
Good to know he has his party priorities straight.
30Sandridge: You seem to be confusing “a strong military record” with “excellently qualified.” Yes, Reed was (and could be again) and impressive candidate (not my district so I couldn’t vote for him) but a strong military record does not change the minds of GOP voters, or overly impress Dems. Low Dem turnout is also affected by voter intimidation, voter suppression, and a mismatch between a district’s voters and a particular candidate for reasons having nothing to do with his/her military record. How many Dems are there in that district? Is it low voter turnout, or just not enough Dems due to the gerrymandering? Was any after-election analysis done to find out why the ones who didn’t vote stayed away (polls not open at convenient times, couldn’t get registered to vote, intimidated by employers threatening to close down a business or fire the workers if the wrong guy won, etc)
