If I see the Joni Ernst "I really wanna see what happens at the KAWKISS" clip again i'm gonna scream



YES...I understand it's important for people to see it, because she gleefully gives up the game for all to see.

So I see the value in making sure it gets wide exposure.

On a personal level, her snarky, smirky sarcasm makes my skin crawl.

And I still haven't forgotten her town hall meeting comments about the need to go behind closed doors, away from media scrutiny, and "fix" Social Security.

OK, that's it, end of rant. Carry on.

Hope Joe Lockhart's comments get played or repeated again and again. Make Republicans own this.

..We totally value stupidity as a source of entertainment, enlightenment, and awareness of "Stupidity".

...Joni Ernst is one of our favorite representatives because she embodies our commitment to "Stupidity"....Joni could be a spokesperson for our Committee, but at this time we have many pending and far more important spokespersons on the list. Unfortunately, now is not the time to discuss our potential leaders, as this is still being considered by the Committee...........................and............................if you believe this...............

.............................please send us your membership dues as soon as possible..........................

.................................further, this is now required...

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/01/28/politics/joni-ernst-joe-biden-senate-impeachment-trial/index.html

Remember that Republicans -- including Ernst -- have been arguing for months and months that Trump's effort to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into the activities of Biden and his son, Hunter, in Ukraine had nothing to do with the fact that the former vice president was a) running for the 2020 Democratic nomination and b) was a front-running candidate to be the nominee. Trump's interest was solely in rooting out corruption! This wasn't about Biden at all!

(Trump's attempts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, his potential political rival, are at the center of the President's impeachment trial. Trump has repeatedly made unfounded and false claims to allege that the Bidens acted improperly in Ukraine. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.)

Ernst's comments on Monday are the most obvious evidence yet that, of course, this isn't just about corruption in Ukraine. Look at the words she uses -- "informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters." "Influence!"

What Ernst is saying is that she hopes that the focus by the Trump legal team on Biden -- which included the airing of all sorts of entirely disproven rumors about both him and his son -- will change minds of Iowa Democrats when they go to their caucus on Monday night.

It's impossible to separate Ernst's hope that the White House legal team did Biden political damage from the fact that the former vice president, in virtually every national poll, runs best against Trump in a hypothetical general election matchup. In a Fox News survey released Sunday, Biden stands at 50% to Trump's 41%. A Washington Post poll released Monday gave Biden a 50% to 46% edge. A CNN poll out last week gave Biden a 9-point edge.
