Joni Ernst is a dog.
No really. She was born in the Chinese year of the dog. According to the website nouahsark.com:
Most women under this sign are appealing but lack stability. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. They are irritable and usually bothered by unwarranted anxiety. They sometimes try to flaunt and be brave. They are likely to be an armchair theorist deficient in practical experience.
Hmm, weirdly, that sums up some of Joni’s cold, nasty, mean-spirited, and ridiculous words and behavior over the past few days.
When I came across the cruel, cold dismissiveness of her response to a woman in the crowd yelling, “People are going to die,” I couldn’t believe how cynical, cold, and dark she revealed herself to be. After all, the woman in the crowd commented on Ernst’s support of throwing people off Medicare and Medicaid. Sure, we all have an expiration date, but her response was just a click away from excusing murder and murderers. Would she say the same thing if her husband or kid went into a hospital for a routine operation and died on the table? We’re all going to die?
Kicking people off Medicare and Medicaid is malfeasance. People depend on these programs, which have existed for 50 years. Programs we have come to rely on. Programs that are part of the social contract that make retirement possible for millions and pay for care for those too ill to survive unassisted in nursing homes.
Joni Ernst has excellent healthcare, which we pay for because she’s in Congress. She doesn’t have to worry about depending on what we little people have come to rely on to keep ourselves, parents, grandparents, and disabled family members alive. Who cares if we die? That is what she admitted on camera in front of the world. Wow! She should care because we pay her salary and her healthcare, and she’s our employee.
Her attitude, let them all die, reminds me of the quote attributed to Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake.” Ernst let the Republican mask fall, revealing not just her attitude of contempt for her constituents but the general Republican attitude toward the rest of us.
She made her remarks a thousand times worse with her nasty, indignant, borderline psychotic fake apology. The worst part was the sick way she ended it. Superciliously telling people they should follow in her (clearly) shallow belief in Jesus, as everything she exhibited was in direct opposition to everything he taught. She reminded me of the misguided Arnaud Amalric, who yelled out, “Kill them all; let God sort them out,” when he encountered a mix of 1Cathars and Catholics in the Massacre at Béziers.
While I’m fascinated by Chinese Astrology and know more about it than most Westerners, I’m not a Chinese astrologer. So what does Western astrology say about Joni Ernst?
