But we know Trump hasn’t even less respect for women than elected officials. Dumbest guy in the Senate, that’s perfect.

This is why Patel is straddling the line. Headlines appear about his using the FBI jet for playtime and the Secret Service to drive his girlfriend's drunken friends home, and he gets spanked, and takes a time out before doing it again.

Noem didn't take any time-outs.

And Bondi gets ripped to shreds daily, but she's obstructing justice on Epstein, so SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

It's true that Trump lacks respect for women.

But as long as they don't SEEK the spotlight and draw attention away from him, they're safe. Remember...Bondi's entire appearance before Congress was "UP YOURS! GRRRRRRRRRRR!"

And Noem was the deer in the headlights, which sickened Trump, so bye bye Ice Barbie.

...who threatened to beat someone up on the Senate floor? No wonder the Fascist Felon loves him. Maybe he & Hegseth will come to blows. I'd watch that.
