Read TPM’s deep dive into the scandal here.
Let’s not and say we did.
He called his remarks about women “locker room talk” and has insisted that he maintains the confidence of his caucus.
Then he proceeded to brag of grabbing women “by the pussy.”
“They let you do that when you’re a Speaker,” Casada added, popping a handful of Tic Tacs into his mouth.
Where do they find these people?
Bible belt…
ahhhh…there’s that ol’ locker room talk again…when DID it become ‘fashionable’ to talk about young girls in that mythical locker room??? And who ever thought it was ‘funny’?
In a locker room? Looking at you Gym Jordan.
under a rock
Assholes. Women are so sick of this shit.
I like to think of myself as 18 with 30 years of experience, and the whole time, I’ve hated those entitled, locker room frat fucks who can’t stop bragging about their latest conquest.
“The Locker Room Defense” - used to be a real sports metaphor.
Good times…
Can we call in an airstrike on that locker room?
Did this guy even do anything wrong or just icky? The headline makes it sound like he was talking about fucking children or something otherwise pedophilia related, but laughing about having sex with 18 year olds isn’t even remotely that. Every straight guy wants to and I guarantee you there’s plenty of women and LGBTQ people out there who would also love to get in bed with a spry young thing of whatever gender they prefer instead of some old worn out dad-bodied dude or wrinkly crone. Frankly, the reporting on this is really disappointing.
The speaker sounds like Billy Bush, thrilled to be in on the “man talk” with an alpha male. Preening for each other, women only enter into it as props for their erotic ritual display.

Every straight 14 year old boy who ever lived. But they’re not supposed to run the freakin country.
That is amusing, Gym Jordan said the same about sending his entrusted men to a known pedophile. Once an R always, putrid.
“Where do they find these people?”
Lib U grads.
And gentlemen, too. As opposed to just males.
From wikipedia:
"In 2009, Casada was one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit in federal court, Captain Pamela Barnett v. Barack Hussein Obama, which claimed that Barack Obama was not an American citizen and therefore ineligible to be President of the United States.
In April 2011, Casada tried to repeal a workplace non-discrimination bill for sexual orientation and gender identity in Nashville. In an interview, he explained he was trying to “create a uniform environment across the state, similar to what the interstate commerce clause does for our country.” The bill was supported by David Fowler’s socially conservative Family Action Council of Tennessee, and the Log Cabin Republicans were opposed to it.
In November 2015, Casada said he wanted to stop admitting Syrian refugees in Tennessee. He also wanted to return those who were already in the state to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Casada is divorced, and has four children and six grandchildren. He attends the Brentwood Baptist Church."
According to the Brentwood Baptist Church:
"THE FAMILY
God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption.
Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s unique gift to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel for sexual expression according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race.
The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God’s image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.
Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God’s pattern for marriage. Parents are to teach their children spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through consistent lifestyle example and loving discipline, to make choices based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents."
“the channel for sexual expression according to biblical standards?” Hoo boy, that’s a loaded statement.
The 101st Airborne Division is a mere half hour flight away. Let’s let them practice their “air assault” skills with a squadron of Apache Longbow. The Hellfire missiles are appropriately named, BTW.
I’ll buy the fuel for the mission.
